October 23, 2025 - Virginia Giuffre's memoir co-author says Epstein client list exists, despite claims to contrary

The saga of the late billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been part of the public consciousness for years, but the details and scope of the scandal have garnered an even greater degree of attention in recent months.

This week’s release of a posthumous memoir from Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre has promised a host of new revelations, with its co-author asserting that she knows all of the names contained in the much-discussed and still largely secret files, as the Daily Mail reports.

Ghostwriter speaks out

Amy Wallace, who co-wrote Nobody’s Girl, a memoir in which Giuffre recounted harrowing details of her life under Epstein’s thumb, has stepped forward this week to provide insight into the information she says that she — and the FBI — holds about the sex trafficking and abuse that occurred.

In recent months, top Trump administration officials such as Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have declared that no discrete or specific “client list” exists within government files on Jeffrey Epstein, despite growing calls for the public release of such information.

Wallace, however, has come forth to contradict that claim, stating that such a collection of names does exist and that she knows the identities of all those implicated in it.

What’s more, she contends that the FBI and the DOJ possess the same information she does and have done so for roughly ten years.

“Yes, I know who the names are. Virginia knows who the names are, but so does the FBI and so does the Department of Justice,” adding that the long-rumored list “exists in the FBI files” but that it is the government’s responsibility — not hers or Giuffre’s — to end the secrecy on the matter.

High-profile figures implicated

Though many are familiar with Giuffre’s prior claims of having been sex trafficked by Epstein to Britain’s Prince Andrew, he is far from the only high-profile participant mentioned in the memoir, published months after her April death, said to have been a suicide.

Giuffre’s tell-all claims that she was also subjected to sexual abuse at the hands of a former U.S. senator, a professor of psychology, and the governor of an American state, among others.

An excerpt from the book says, “I came to be trafficked to a multitude of powerful men. Among them were a gubernatorial candidate who was soon to win an election in a Western state and a former U.S. senator.”

Giuffre added, “The second person I was lent out to was a psychology professor whose research Epstein was helping to fund” and she went on to claim brutal abuse by a “well-known prime minister,” someone she said “raped me more savagely than anyone had before,” going so far as to choke her to the point of unconsciousness.

The book also included hints and identifying details about other individuals Giuffre accused of wrongdoing, referencing an aging “heralded statesman” as well as a billionaire in his fifties with “thinning brown hair.” (Read more: Conservative Institute, 10/23/2025) (Archive)

October 23, 2025 - North Carolina school board president defies state law and continues gender ideology propaganda lessons in grade school

George Griffin, the @CHCCS board president, BRAGS about how his school district is DEFYING state law and refusing to comply with North Carolina’s Parent Rights Bill, calling the bill “discriminatory.”

The Bill, SB 49, guarantees parents the right to opt out of gender ideology propaganda lessons, allows parents to review school textbooks, and gives parents access to their child’s records.

This board wants to be able to hide critical information from parents and prevent them from vetting school curriculums.

This must be investigated @MoGreenNCDPI @ncpublicschools @usedgov @NCAGO

The Chapel Hill-Carrboro school board’s defiance of SB 49 isn’t just bureaucratic arrogance—it’s a textbook case of administrators prioritizing ideological agendas over parental rights and state law. SB 49 explicitly protects families’ ability to review curriculum, access records, and shield kids from politicized gender lessons.

By refusing compliance, the board wastes taxpayer resources fighting legal battles instead of focusing on core education. Parents deserve transparency, not shadowy bureaucrats deciding what’s “best” behind closed doors.

If districts can arbitrarily ignore laws they dislike, where’s the accountability? Investigate this overreach immediately—taxpayers shouldn’t fund activism disguised as governance.

October 24, 2025 - Virginia AG candidate Jay Jones' court-mandated community service hours come into question; DOJ investigation ensues

Jay Jones (Credit: public domain)

Democrat Jay Jones has found himself in hot water during the final weeks of his campaign to become Virginia’s top law enforcement officer. The closer to Election Day it gets, the scandals seem to keep piling up.

At around the same time he was fantasizing about assassinating Virginia’s former Republican House speaker and wishing death upon his children in 2022, Jones had a truly remarkable run-in with the state’s criminal-justice system. According to recent reports, the Democrat AG candidate is now under investigation for a 2022 reckless driving incident.

By way of background, Jones was clocked going 116 mph in a 70 mph stretch of highway and charged with reckless driving. While other defendants facing the same charge as he faced — with the “same initial hearing date as Jones” — reportedly got jail sentences, Jones got away with a fine and 1,000 hours of community service. (These defendants were even caught driving more slowly than Jones was, according to Cardinal News.)

Supposedly, Jones did that community service in 2023 — 500 hours at “Meet Our Moment” and 500 hours at the Virginia chapter of the NAACP. The first tranche of hours has caused considerable controversy and may be at the heart of the aforementioned criminal investigation.

Meet Our Moment is Jones’ own political action committee, founded to train Democrats to run for office. His hours were certified by an adviser of his, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported. As noted by National Review, social media posts revealed Jones crisscrossed Virginia campaigning for Democrats in 2023, raising questions about whether such activities were counted as part of the 500 hours of “community service” he purportedly conducted with the group.

Perhaps equally interesting, however, is Jones’ “community service” time with the Virginia wing of the NAACP.

In 2023, Jones was a senior associate at the massive law firm known as Hogan Lovells. While there, he was involved in a high-profile lawsuit against the Youngkin administration regarding a dispute over public records pertaining to voting restoration practices for previously convicted felons.

The client Jones and Hogan represented in that case? None other than the Virginia NAACP. (Jones apparently ended work on the case when he started campaigning for state attorney general.)

Much like with Meet Our Moment, it’s unclear how Jones spent his 500 hours with the Virginia NAACP, once again raising questions about whether any of his legal services for the group in its lawsuit against Gov. Glenn Youngkin were counted as “community service.”

These services would seemingly have been provided by Hogan “pro bono,” or for free. But they’re provided for free by the firm’s partnership.

In the area of law, big firms typically set aside a certain amount of partner and associate time for pro bono work as a way to train young lawyers, build notoriety for the firm, and, in some cases, do some good. If that time comes out of anyone’s paycheck, it’s the partners, who are deprived of precious billable hours that could otherwise be charged to paying clients for the pool of profits they divide per formula as their compensation.

(Although, while that’s the case for pro-bono work generally, in this instance, Hogan actually submitted a motion for attorneys’ fees, which further complicates the financial dynamics of the case.)

Unlike partners at elite law firms, the associates are salaried employees. They are usually paid on some variation of the “Cravath Scale” — named after a New York-based firm that sets the market for associate pay and bonus.

As can be seen here, in 2023, a Hogan associate who was law-school class of 2016 or older (Jones was class of 2015) got a base salary of $435,000. He’d also be eligible for at least a $115,000 bonus. To get the bonus, though, he’d need to hit an “hours threshold” of 2,000 billable hours, of which only 150 could be pro bono up to 1,850 hours. In plain English, if Jones billed 1,850 hours to paying clients, he could have then banked his full 500 pro-bono hours to get a full bonus; if he didn’t bill 1,850 hours, then only 150 of his Virginia NAACP hours would count toward his bonus.

Would Hogan have nickel-and-dimed a former state legislator and possible future attorney general on his bonus for representing such a liberal cause? Maybe not. But even if they did, the most that can be said is that Jones’ work for the Virginia NAACP may have eaten into his $115,000 bonus. He would still have seemingly been getting paid $435,000 plus benefits to do his work for the Virginia NAACP even if he didn’t meet his bonus-hours requirement.

Theoretically, this means that Jones could say, at best, “My community service meant I only made $435,000, not $550,000.” Quite the sacrifice. (Read more: The Federalist, 10/24/2025)  (Archive)

October 24, 2025 - Letitia James and her grandniece Nakia Monique Thompson are arraigned at the same time in Norfolk, VA

New York AG Letitia James and her niece Shamice Thompson-Hairston (Credit: Gateway Pundit)

(…) My interest in Shamice Thompson-Hairston stemmed from Letitia James’s unusually large financial involvement in the lives of her niece and her two children. James had purchased two homes in Norfolk, Virginia for them, both with problematic legal issues as regards their mortgages.

In 2020, James purchased a property at 3121 Perone Avenue in Norfolk, Virginia, signing a document claiming it would serve as her primary or secondary residence, rather than a rental property, which allowed her to obtain a lower mortgage interest rate. That misrepresentation recently became part of the criminal indictment against James for mortgage and bank fraud, carrying a potential 30-year prison sentence. James was arraigned yesterday in Norfolk, Virginia in that case.

In 2023, James bought a home at 604 Sterling Avenue in Norfolk, Virginia with Shamice Thompson-Hairston as co-borrower. Per Sam Antar, Letitia qualified for the loan only after certifying in an updated application that it would be her “primary residence”, even though she lived in Brooklyn. I believe this could soon be the subject of a superseding indictment against James.

Speaking before the Association for a Better New York, James claimed her motives for the home purchases were purely familial, they were in order to provide a home for her niece Shamice’s “kids”.

But as I detailed in The Gateway Pundit in Crime Runs in the Family! Letitia James Buys Home for Niece’s Jailbird Adult Kids, James’s explanation, that she was a “good aunt” merely helping her niece and her children, was misleading.

The “children” whom James’s statement implied were minors, were both adult felons with long rap sheets, including Nakia Monique Thompson who today is a wanted fugitive with an active arrest warrant in North Carolina.

Nakia Monique Thompson (Credit: Facebook)

In fact, Nakia Monique Thompson has a criminal record spanning 20 years in the states of Virginia and North Carolina, and include multiple convictions for contributing to delinquency of a minor, abuse of child, possession of burglary tools, third degree larceny, assault and battery,  trespassing, shoplifting, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, possession of marijuana, driving with a suspended license, and even malicious conduct while incarcerated.

Now, in a striking turn of events, Nakia Monique Thompson has again found herself before a judge in Norfolk, Virginia, the same city where Letitia James’s mortgage-fraud case is being heard.

According to The New York Post, Thompson was arraigned after allegedly threatening an elementary school assistant principal, shouting, “I’m still gonna punch you in the f—ing face, bald-headed bitch!” A protective order has since been issued, prohibiting her from contacting the victim or engaging in further acts of violence.

What makes the timing remarkable is that Thompson’s courtroom appearance coincided almost exactly with Letitia James’s own federal arraignment in the Eastern District of Virginia. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 10/24/2025)  (Archive)

October 24, 2025 - Virginia prosecutor Beth Yusi is fired for sending Letitia James investigative file to her personal email, likely to facilitate media leak

An interesting development, as one of the embedded Lawfare operatives is exposed by CNN. According to documents reviewed by CNN, the Dept of Justice fired Virginia prosecutor Beth Yusi for sending the unauthorized case file, against New York Attorney General Letitia James, to her personal email account.

Apparently, the transfer of files is the process used by DOJ Lawfare operatives to leak information to the media. Beth Yusi (pictured left) was fired for doing it, and shockingly CNN has the receipts.

(VIA CNN) – The Virginia federal prosecutor who resisted bringing mortgage fraud charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James sent investigative files with James’ personally identifying information to her own private email account, according an email reviewed by CNN.

The prosecutor, Beth Yusi, was dismissed earlier this month at least in part because of the mishandling of the personal information, people familiar with her termination said.

Yusi’s attorney Margaret Donovan told CNN that the former prosecutor “has no record of any such email” and “has never used her personal email account for any portion of any investigation. (read more)

In related matters, Letitia James appeared in court today, and took to the steps of the courthouse to say she was being politically targeted for her mortgage fraud.  The hypocrisy is rich considering James ran on a specific platform to target her political opposition.

October 25, 2025 - John Brennan is nervous about the House Judiciary Committee's criminal referral

(…) MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace lashed out Jim Jordan and asked Brennan, “New tactic, same story. What is your response to Jim Jordan getting in the action?”

John Brennan said Jim Jordan is getting into the action of Trump’s “revenge tour.”

Well, it’s clear that that’s exactly what he’s doing. He’s trying to get into the action of Trump’s revenge tour. As I’ve said several times on this program, as well as in congressional testimony, I’ve cooperated with all these inquiries and investigations of the government,” Brennan said as he shifted around in his chair.

“I have explained exactly what transpired during the Russian interference in the 2016 election. And Jim Jordan now, I think, is trying to twist my words and misrepresent and mischaracterize the facts as a way to play to and be a supplicant to Donald Trump, which is why he’s making this referral now to the Department of Justice,” he said.

“But as you pointed out, I’ve said before, this ground has been retread and plowed numerous times. And I even wrote about it in my memoir, exactly what happened there,” he added.

Brennan said there is no reason why he would ever lie to Congress.

“Why, oh, why would I have any motivation to not tell the truth to Congress about this? Because it’s already a matter of public record,” Brennan said.

October 26, 2025 - NY mayoral candidate is a Trojan horse for Islamic takeover of America

Zohran Mamdani is a Trojan horse for the Islam takeover of America

And here’s the step by step documented indisputably proof

– He has given his support of global Jihad, meaning advocating for armed struggle (jihad) to establish Islamic governance and enforce their interpretation of Sharia law worldwide

– He has actually plainly confessed his support for global Jihad in the 2008 Landmark case, ‘United States vs the Holy Land Five’
‌
– Five people were convicted of providing material support to Hamas by way of millions and millions and millions of dollars in violation of federal law while disguising it behind charity

– Those five people were sentenced to 65 years in a federal correctional facility. They were called the Holy Land Five

– In 2017, under the pseudonym Mr. Cardamom, Zohran Mamdani himself drops a rap song in which he states, My love to the Holy Land Five. ‘My love to the people who funneled millions to Hamas’

You better look them up.
‌
— When he was recently asked, do you think that Hamas should lay down its weapons? That’s it.
‌
His answer was that he had no opinion.

When you have openly supported the funneling of millions of dollars to Hamas, and since then they have committed a massacre that killed 1,200 Israelis and have shot and killed Palestinians at point blank range. And you now have no opinion on whether they should disarm. That’s another way of saying, I support the terrorists. And that couldn’t be clearer.
‌
And you know what worries me as an Iranian? The fact that this is the exact path that led to the revolution in Iran. It was this exact marriage of socialism and Islamism that we are now seeing people fall for again here. That also started by dividing society into oppressed and oppressor, Mostaz’afin and Mostakberin.”

October 26, 2025 - Trump admin detains and revokes visa of terrorist sympathizer, Sami Hamdi

Sami Hamdi (Credit: Jacek Boczarski/Anadolu via Getty Images)

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is up in arms over the imminent deportation of Sami Hamdi, a radical Islamic agitator from the United Kingdom who allegedly suggested the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks on Israel were worth celebrating.

Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, confirmed in a statement to Blaze News that as the result of work undertaken by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, “this individual’s visa was revoked and he is in ICE custody pending removal.”

As of Monday morning, the online Immigration and Customs Enforcement database does not presently have a Sami Hamdi from the U.K. listed as being in custody.

“Under President Trump, those who support terrorism and undermine American national security will not be allowed to work or visit this country,” continued McLaughlin. “It’s commonsense.”

The State Department said in a statement, “We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who support terrorism and actively undermine the safety of Americans.”

Hamdi’s detention came just days after the RAIR Foundation USA published a damning report concerning the British national’s history of radical remarks and associations, stating, “Every appearance Hamdi makes in America is not merely a speech — it operates effectively as a deployment node in an organized influence and mobilization program serving a foreign militant Islamic cause on U.S. soil. His talks are not educational but tactical.”

October 26, 2025 - Newsom doesn't want DOJ to monitor their upcoming election - How CA steals elections

I hope everyone understands what Gavin Newsom is admitting to here

Newsom is literally saying the Federal Government, the US Department of Justice, has no right to stop his illegals from voting in his Prop 50 Redistricting Election

“The DOJ is being sent out to California to monitor our election. I have an election November Prop 50, a statewide election. They have no business, no jurisdiction to monitor it.”

– The DOJ is only there to monitor for illegals
– Gavin Newsom is saying they can’t be there to monitor for illegals

He is literally admitting the federal government can’t stop his illegals from voting

Here’s how Gavin Newsom steals California elections

San Joaquin County Sheriff says voting records show people from outside the country vote in California elections, including Pakistan

“The online voter registration system, it seems to be an honor system — You’re able to register and cast a vote if you don’t live in the country”

“Anybody can put information in there. To register to vote, all you have to do is click a box and say that you’re not lying, and then you’ll get an email from the Secretary of State or something in the mail saying thank you for registering to vote, and there you are.

Once you’re on the voter rolls, anytime an election comes around, guess what. You get mailed a ballot

You get mailed something to vote. So we found that a little bit problematic.”

He says people from other counties always vote across county lines

Gavin Newsom’s Prop 50 Redistricting is going to be rigged

The ballot counting machines used in the latest Gavin Newsom Recall in San Diego county weren’t registered with the state. I checked.

I was given the serial numbers by a very condescending Andrew McDonald — the guy in charge.

McDonald told me they were registered with the state.

McDonald lied.

Piles of ballots processed through those machines without even one of them being FOR the recall.

Statistically improbable.

McDonald is now working Nevada — where he was involved in changing ballot machines.

Who’s is Andrew McDonald?

Why did he lie about the Newsom Recall ballot counting machines being registered with the state of CA?

What is McDonald doing in Washoe County Nevada?

Andrew McDonald👀 needs to be investigated. 🚩

October 27, 2025 - The government shutdown awakens the public about how many people are on food stamps

Newsmax host @RobFinnertyUSA just said what no one in mainstream media will admit about SNAP.

He tore the mask off the entire food stamps program…and what he revealed will infuriate taxpayers.

It’s far worse than anyone realized.

“There are 42 million people in this country that need food stamps on a weekly basis.”

“And we’re saying ‘people’ deliberately instead of Americans because most of the people that are on food stamps aren’t even from this country.”

“45% of Afghanistan immigrants are on food stamps.”

“42% of Somali immigrants, 34% of every immigrant from Iraq, 23% of Haitians.”

“59% of ALL illegal aliens are collecting food stamps, meaning that most of the people getting food stamps from the U.S. Government and the U.S. Taxpayer are not even Americans.”

“Think about that.”

“And we didn’t know about any of this before the government shutdown started.”

“But thanks to Democrats, we can confirm tonight that millions of Joe Biden, illegal aliens, people who crossed the border when Joe was president, are now collecting food stamps from a program funded by hardworking American taxpayers.”

October 27, 2025 - Nicole Wallace: "No one calls Trump Hitler"; some highlights of Democrats calling Trump Hitler

Far-Left Media Launches All-Out ‘Trump Hitler’ Blitzkrieg With 5,500 Stories In One Week | ZeroHedge [October 27, 2024]

This week, the far-left corporate media hate machine unleashed a ‘blitzkrieg’ of propaganda against the American people, a clear sign of desperation as polls increasingly point toward a favorable outcome for former President Trump this November.

New data from Bloomberg shows the story count for “Trump Hitler” in MSM jumped to a mindboggling 5,500 this week – the most massive total count in the ten years Deep State muppets in MSM have called Trump a Hitler/Nazi. This is a clear indication that Biden-Obama-Harris radicals and their billionaire funders are getting increasingly desperate.

On X, conservative commentator Liz Churchill showed MSM’s information war against the American people in headlines.

The blitzkrieg of hate by Democrats started with Kamala Harris…

Harris’ accusation that Trump “wants generals like Hitler had” is based on a hearsay claim from Gen. John Kelly. This is the same man that Trump fired while in office for incompetence. The same man that claimed in 2023 that Trump called military casualties “suckers” and “losers.” There is no proof to verify any of Kelly’s assertions.

Democrats defaulting to the ‘Trump is Hitler’ playbook are signs of desperation, especially after this…

October 28, 2025 - New information on the White House Cocaine-Gate scandal surfaces

NEW INFO ON WHITE HOUSE COCAINE-GATE:

“SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL”

THESE ARE COMMEMORATIVE COINS A SECRET SERVICE OFFICER MADE IN REBELLION TO LEADERSHIP’S COCAINE “COVER-UP.”

The @SecretService Uniformed Division officers who guard the White House were so pissed off that they were forced to be part of a cocaine cover-up in 2023, as several Secret Service sources referred to it, that one officer made a “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” commemorative challenge coin about the ordeal to lighten the mood and improve morale within the ranks, according to the photos below and several Secret Service sources.

The officer was punished (placed on administrative leave for an unknown amount of time) for making and distributing the unauthorized coin. The coin’s distribution took place within weeks of the USSS closing the case in 11 days.

Many rank-and-file Secret Service agents and UD officers are still angry that they were forced to close the investigation in such a short time + destroy the evidence, as I previously reported.

“It made us look inept,” one source told me.

@FBIDDBongino has re-opened the investigation and is gaining key information, sources tell
@RCPolitics — some of which I have previously reported.

The NEW @FoxNation COCAINE AT 1600 special hosted by @mirandadevine features some of my reporting that former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who was hand-picked by Jill Biden for the job, ordered to have the cocaine destroyed even though key sources tell me there was a partial DNA hit on the baggie and despite agency evidence preservation rules. Fox was kind enough to interview me for it.

October 29, 2025 - House Oversight Committee declares all Biden autopen executive actions null and void; referral made to DoJ

The report exposes Biden’s decline, the White House cover-up, and invalid executive actions signed by autopen; Chairman Comer sends referrals to the DOJ and D.C. Board of Medicine

WASHINGTON—Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released a staff report titled “The Biden Autopen Presidency: Decline, Delusion, and Deception in the White House.” The report exposes how President Joe Biden’s top advisors, political operatives, and personal physician concealed the President’s mental and physical decline from the American people. The findings reveal that as President Biden’s condition deteriorated, his aides exercised presidential authority and facilitated executive actions without his direct authorization, including misusing the autopen and failing to properly document decision-making processes.

Following the findings of its investigation, the Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) sent a letter to the U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi requesting the U.S. Department of Justice conduct a comprehensive review of all executive actions taken during the Biden presidency and scrutinize key Biden aides—Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Annie Tomasini, and Anthony Bernal—who pleaded the Fifth Amendment during the investigation. Chairman Comer also sent a letter to the District of Columbia Board of Medicine seeking its review of actions taken by Dr. O’Connor to determine any potential wrongdoing in his medical care of the former president.

“The Biden Autopen Presidency will go down as one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history. As Americans saw President Biden’s decline with their own eyes, Biden’s inner circle sought to deceive the public, cover-up his decline, and took unauthorized executive actions with the autopen that are now invalid,” said Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.). “Our report reveals how key aides colluded to mislead the public and the extraordinary measures they took to sustain the appearance of presidential authority as Biden’s capacity to function independently diminished. Executive actions performed by Biden White House staff and signed by autopen are null and void. We are calling on the U.S. Department of Justice to conduct a thorough review of these executive actions and scrutinize key Biden aides who took the Fifth to hide their participation in the cover-up. The D.C. Board of Medicine must also review the actions taken by President Biden’s physician to hide his true condition. We have provided Americans with transparency about the Biden Autopen Presidency, and now there must be accountability.”

The report is based on 14 depositions and transcribed interviews with key Biden aides. During the investigation, Oversight Committee Democrats did not consider the question of who was running the country for four years to be worth further inquiry. Democrat Members and staff asked only about 3 hours and 30 minutes’ worth of questions over nearly 47 hours of depositions and transcribed interviews. On average, across the 14 interviews and depositions conducted by the Committee, Democrats spent just 15 minutes questioning each witness.

Below are key findings and recommendations from the report:

  • Biden’s Decline and Cover-Up: The Oversight Committee found substantial evidence that President Joe Biden experienced significant mental and physical decline during his presidency, while senior White House officials actively sought to conceal his deterioration from the public. President Biden’s inner circle, including top advisors and his physician, undertook coordinated efforts to mislead the public regarding his cognitive state, using scripted messaging, restricted access, and tightly controlled appearances. White House staff meticulously controlled President Biden’s daily activities, public appearances, and workload to mask his declining capabilities. This included restricting media access, avoiding unscripted events, and even seeking input from Hollywood figures on presentation strategy. Key advisors, including senior strategist Mike Donilon, stood to gain financially and politically from maintaining President Biden’s candidacy and suppressing evidence of his decline.
  • Gaslighting the American Public over Concerns about Biden’s Debate Performance and Cognitive Decline: Even a year later, President Biden’s former senior circle denies not only that his cognitive decline was on full display in his 2024 debate with President Trump, but that the public was ever even concerned about cognitive decline. In their view, public concern about Biden’s debate performance was about his “bad cold” and more general feelings about potential limitations due to his advanced age.
  • Political Interference in Medical Decisions and Failure of Medical Oversight: Testimony from senior officials, including Jeff Zients and Anita Dunn, revealed that political advisors interfered with decisions regarding President Biden’s medical evaluations, explicitly rejecting calls for cognitive testing to protect his reelection prospects. Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the President’s physician, did not perform a cognitive assessment of President Biden and invoked his Fifth Amendment right when questioned by the Committee. Testimony suggests that Dr. O’Connor’s medical judgments were influenced by political advisors and that his financial ties to the Biden family presented conflicts of interest.
  • Referral of Biden’s Physician to D.C. Board of Medicine: Chairman Comer recommends that the District of Columbia Board of Medicine review the actions taken by Dr. O’Connor while serving as the White House physician to President Biden for any potential wrongdoing in the medical care of the former president—including whether Dr. O’Connor produced false or misleading medical reports to the American people.
  • Exercise of Presidential Authority by Biden Aides, Making Executive Actions Signed by Autopen Invalid: Senior Biden staff exercised presidential authority or facilitated executive actions without direct authorization from President Biden himself, including through misuse of the autopen and failures in documenting decision-making processes. The Oversight Committee found alarming deficiencies in the documentation and custody of the President’s decision binder, including instances where executive actions were executed without written authorization or clear record of the President’s approval. The Committee identified irregularities in the issuance of pardons and commutations during the final days of the Biden presidency, including those involving members of the Biden family, where the autopen was used without confirmed presidential authorization or proper documentation.
  • Referral to DOJ for Review of Executive Actions and Key Aides Involved in the Cover-Up: Chairman Comer is calling on the Department of Justice conduct a comprehensive review of all executive actions taken during the Biden presidency and is referring key Biden aides—Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Annie Tomasini and Anthony Bernal—for further scrutiny after they took the Fifth Amendment during the investigation.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said that every executive action, made by the Biden administration, without written authorization should be voided just hours after the House Oversight Committee’s report looking the use of the autopen was released Tuesday.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) released a report Tuesday morning outlining the findings from 14 transcribed interviews, of which three plead the fifth, in a 90 page report that claimed that aides of former President Joe Biden exercised presidential powers without his knowledge or consent.

October 28, 2025 - New Arctic Frost documents show an ever-widening circle of Trump supporters who were investigated by Biden Feds

New Arctic Frost documents reveal even further wide ranging investigation by Biden’s DOJ to take down President Trump and his supporters.

HIGHLIGHTS:

-Arctic Frost investigators utilized FBI field offices from across the country to conduct its investigation.

-Arctic Frost investigators requested $16,600 to travel to conduct more than 40 interviews.

-45 individuals including, Steve Bannon, Scott Perry, Rudolph Giuliani, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, and Mark Meadows were potentially under investigation.

-Another 111 individuals including Peter Navarro, Dan Scavino, Jeff Rosen, and Ed Martin were also potentially under investigation.

READ ALL THE DOCUMENTS HERE:

The Arctic Frost investigation epitomizes the weaponization of federal power under Biden’s DOJ—targeting political opponents with taxpayer-funded dragnets. Spending $16k to chase 156+ individuals across FBI field offices isn’t law enforcement; it’s a politicized witch hunt. Weaponizing agencies to harass Bannon, Giuliani, and allies proves the deep state’s desperation to criminalize dissent.

This abuse mirrors past corrupt tactics like spying on congressional members’ cell data. Every dollar wasted on this charade should’ve gone toward securing borders or auditing Biden’s foreign aid slush funds.

Garland’s DOJ turned the FBI into a partisan hit squad—now Bondi’s cleanup must include prosecuting those who greenlit this fraud.

Alright, kids. Here it is. Released today by the FBI, nearly 200 pages of formerly classified FBI documents, posted today on the House Judiciary Committee website and proves that the “state law cases” with the fake criminal charges against Pres Trump, Trump lawyers, Trump electors…and supporters were NOT state initiated AT ALL. These were ALL proxies for the feds…the BIDEN feds….

The FBI with the blessing of the Biden DOJ and no doubt the Biden White House initiated and conducted the entire investigation of hundreds and hundreds of RNC, Trump campaign employees, consultants, lawyers, supporters….all for the purpose of DESTROYING the MAGA movement … by prosecuting / persecuting not only the President but anyone in his orbit.

Look through the documents yourself…see the evidence… those puppet Democrat AGs in Arizona (@krismayes NV @AaronDFordNV Wisconsin @JoshKaulWI and Michigan @dananessel— not to mention your favorite disgraced slut @faniforDA Willis from GA….they were just puppets of the Biden / national Democrats who pulled the strings for the indictments on FAKE charges against Trump and Trump electors, lawyers, supporters.

I do NOT want to hear ONE MORE WORD from these creeps and their sycophants in the leftwing media about Donald Trump being authoritarian.

When in American history have we seen this massive all-of-government investigation of normal citizens who committed NO crime, but simply were supporting or were part of the opposition political party? Never. NEVER.

It is time to realize those so-called state criminal proceedings were a mere proxy for the Biden White House/ DNC / DOJ / FBI who concocted a plan to make sure Donald Trump never again could run for president and to cripple the entire MAGA movement.

There are hundreds and hundreds of victims of this massive conspiracy — and the worst of it was inflicted on Pres Trump, the defendants in the Trump electors FAKE criminal prosecutions, and the J6 prisoners.

We can’t let these creeps get away with this any longer. We need more pardons and MORE investigations and PROSECUTIONS of those who deprived hundreds of Americans of their constitutional and civil rights.

UPDATE 10/29/2025

ARREST JACK SMITH NOW! Latest Arctic Frost List Confirms Smith and Democrats Were Aiming to Wipe MAGA Off the Map and Ultimately to Jail All MAGA Leaders — FULL LIST INCLUDED

October 29, 2025 - Arctic Frost was a massive dragnet of political opponents; FBI officials who lead the op were promoted and still work at FBI

(…) For years, the Oversight Project has been calling out Arctic Frost and corruption at the FBI from officials like biased former assistant special agent in charge Timothy Thibault for years. Now is the time for accountability for everyone involved in this attack on Democracy—which was essentially a massive dragnet on political opponents. Every official that sanctioned and approved this investigation is likely in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241 Conspiracy Against Rights.

President of the Oversight Project Mike Howell said:​

“Arctic Frost was not just an attack on Democracy; it was a coordinated and sustained invasion of it. Everyone responsible should be held accountable and banished from public life. The long continuum of a decade-long campaign by the Federal government against Trump can get complicated. What you should know is that they were so out of control, and thought they never would get caught, that they named this investigation after an orange to mock Trump. Well, they got caught and we’re going to do everything we can to make sure accountability follows.”

See more recent detailed exposure of this corruption and commentary from the Oversight Project President Mike Howell on Arctic Frost speaking on the Swamp Justice Podcast:

FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly ousted one of the leading special agents who oversaw the Arctic Frost investigation into President Trump.

“Operation Arctic Frost” was a taxpayer-funded witch hunt launched in April 2022 that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to Trump and Pence while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.

The 2020 Trump alternate electors prompted the Biden DOJ to open the Arctic Frost investigation into Trump and hundreds of other individuals and organizations.

According to MSNBC, Patel is ousting Aaron Tapp, one of the lead agents on Arctic Frost.

Aaron Tapp is a Special Agent in Charge leading the San Antonio Field Office.

According to Aaron Tapp’s LinkedIn page, he has served in the FBI for more than 20 years.

“Senior FBI Executive with more than twenty-seven years of combined experience leading people, conducting and supervising complex investigations, and engaging in collaborative partnership across government and the private sector. Strategic thinker who anticipates future requirements and creates strategies to achieve results. Broad based operational, management and human capital expertise. A natural collaborator who is focused on building and motivating cross-functional and integrated teams who consistently achieve excellence,” Aaron Tapp said on his LinkedIn page.

“Driver of organizational and cultural change through innovation, transparency, communication and partnership. Deep experience combatting the most serious threats facing the private sector. Experience in the financial services industry leveraging functional and technical skills from multiple teams to address complex problems. Extensive experience balancing business needs and risk mitigation. Currently leading the FBI San Antonio Field Office,” he said.

Kash Patel is ousting Aaron Tapp after he appeared in the documents released by Senate Republicans.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Wednesday revealed that former Special Counsel Jack Smith targeted the ‘entire Republican apparatus.’

Grassley said new disclosures revealed Jack Smith targeted conservative organizations such as TPUSA and the Republican Attorneys General Association.

“I’ve obtained through legally protected whistleblower disclosures,” Grassley said during a press conference on Wednesday. “197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team. These subpoenas were issued to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, including financial institutions.”

President Trump called for all of the dirty cops and corrupt prosecutors involved in Arctic Frost and Russiagate to be investigated.

“Former FBI Agent Walter Giardina is a DIRTY COP! He should be, along with Deranged Jack Smith, the sinister team of Lisa Monaco and Andrew Weissmann, Liddle’ Jay Bratt, Norm Eisen and his FAKE Charity, CREW, Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, Thomas Windom, who dreamt up the corrupt J-6 Witch Hunt, should be investigated, immediately,” Trump said.

“They are a disgrace to our Nation. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said.

New docs reveal Jack Smith, Liz Cheney, and Adam Kinzinger secretly coordinated J6 probes targeting 400+ Republicans — now Trump wants them behind bars.

October 29, 2025 - The J6 Committee's Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson colluded with Jack Smith's investigation; spying on 400+ Republicans

Two newly released congressional letters confirm years-long reporting that the anti-Trump Jan. 6 committee had quietly colluded with Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into President Donald Trump.

The letters, from Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and disgraced former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., reveal the lawmakers’ rush to hand over evidence before Republicans took control of Congress in 2023.

In those exchanges, they produced at least 16 interviews, deposition transcripts, exhibits, phone numbers and spreadsheets as part of their investigation into the events of Jan. 6, 2021.

One letter, dated Dec. 5, 2022, shows Thompson and Cheney informing Smith that while the body was concluding its work, they wanted to make the evidence they gathered “available to the Department of Justice.”

In that letter, the anti-Trump politicians told Smith he would receive “16 transcripts of interviews and depositions taken by” the committee, including “exhibits associated with those transcripts.” They even promised to facilitate “additional evidence as soon as possible.”

Just four days later, Thompson and Cheney wrote again to Smith, announcing the production of documents obtained from John Eastman and text messages from Mark Meadows, then Trump’s White House chief of staff.

“Along with the latter, we are producing a staff-created spreadsheet of the Meadows texts that contain additional information from privilege logs that Mr. Meadows provided to the Select Committee,” they added.

Even after those documents, they vowed to produce more materials to Smith “on a rolling basis.”

Now, the never-before-seen letters confirm what many suspected: the controversial committee worked “hand-in-hand” with Smith, the House Judiciary Committee said Tuesday.

Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to target Trump after the 2020 election. Smith later used those materials to indict Trump, first over a document dispute between Trump and the Biden-led National Archives, and later over his objections to the certification of the 2020 election results.

The origins of that collusion trace back to the Jan. 6 committee itself, which was created in 2022 by then–Speaker Nancy Pelosi and excluded pro-Trump lawmakers.

A new panel led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., is investigating the 2022 committee’s actions, including allegedly criminal behavior, after accusations it deleted files, engaged in partisan activity and covered up misconduct.

Tellingly, both Cheney and Thompson received preemptive pardons from President Joe Biden for any wrongdoing committed during the congressional investigation.

Read the 2022 letters below:

(Zero Hedge, 10/29/2025) (Archive)

Former special counsel Jack Smith issued nearly 200 subpoenas as part of the FBI’s sweeping Arctic Frost investigation into the 2020 election, targeting hundreds of Republicans in what GOP lawmakers now call one of the most politically intrusive spying expeditions in modern history.

The disclosures, provided by a whistleblower to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and released Wednesday, reveal that 197 subpoenas were sent to 34 individuals and 163 businesses. Those demands sought testimony, communications, and records connected to at least 430 Republican individuals and entities, including donor analytics, internal strategy, and contacts with government officials and major media outlets such as Fox News, CBS, Newsmax, and Sinclair.

The FBI also demanded communications with White House advisers such as Stephen Miller, Dan Scavino, Jared Kushner, and Lara Trump, as well as broad financial data tied to conservative causes.

Republican critics say the depth and scope of the requests reveal a political dragnet designed to surveil and intimidate the opposition. “Arctic Frost is Joe Biden’s Watergate,” said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), calling it a political enemies list executed through the Justice Department. “This was an absolute and egregious abuse of power.” (CF.org, 10/30/2025)

October 29, 2025 - Stunning report in Washington Post indicts Jack Smith

Stunning report about Jack Smith in WashPo today. Confirms Smith’s obsessed pursuit of Donald Trump.

Despite recovering from a shattered leg after a bike accident in the Netherlands, where he was prosecuting a case at the Hague, Smith took on the role of special counsel in Nov 2022.

He could not travel for six weeks so we paid for DOJ prosecutors to fly to Amsterdam to meet with Smith, who was running the investigations outside of the US. (How is this possible?)

“In February, Smith told a small group of advisers that he had instructed a deputy to begin drafting a prosecution memo — an internal document that outlined the legal reasoning and strength of the evidence to charge the former president in the documents case. Smith hadn’t made a final decision but wanted to be prepared to move forward.”

But debate ensued over where to pursue an indictment. Some prosecutors wanted to continue the case in Washington DC; the DOJ then Smith conducted the entirety of the docs investigation in the Trump-hating DC courthouse, first under the supervision of Beryl Howell then by Jeb Boasberg, two Obama appointees with a history of Trump animus.

Of course, ALL of it should have happened in southern Florida, the scene of the alleged crime. (The indictment alleged the criminal conspiracy and obstruction began on Jan 21, 2021, after the president left the White House.) But DOJ knew they would not get the same favorable outcomes in Florida as they received in DC.

In the end, they secured the indictment in southern Florida–reports indicated prosecutors merely read transcripts of the DC proceedings in the docs case to a Florida grand jury to get the indictment.

They also were scared Judge Aileen Cannon–who had appointed a special master in Sept 2022 to vet all the evidence collected at Mar-a-Lago because she did not trust the Biden DOJ/FBI and for good reason–would get the case. (Her special master appointment was reversed by the appellate court.)

Which she did.

Cannon–as I reported for a year–made life difficult for Jack Smith and his team of thugs by simply following the law and the process. The WashPo disclosed that in an August 2023 sealed order, Cannon launched an investigation into prosecutorial misconduct. At one point in 2024, Cannon warned she would remove David Harbach, one of Smith’s henchmen in the docs case, for his open hostility toward her in court.

After Cannon dismissed the docs indictment in July 2024 after concluding Smith’s appointment violated the Constitution, the special counsel wanted to seek Cannon’s recusal.

“He also asked [Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar] if he could seek to have Cannon removed by the appellate court, an unprecedented move for a special counsel.” Prelogar said no.

Unbelievable.

Here’s the report from the WaPost:

David Raskin (Credit: LinkedIn)

Federal prosecutor David Raskin was expecting that the criminal case he had helped build against former president Donald Trump would be filed in Washington, D.C., when a colleague bumped into him with surprising news: Their boss, special counsel Jack Smith, had decided to bring the case in Florida.

“Are you all f—ing insane?” Raskin blurted out to his fellow prosecutor on that spring day in 2023, in a hallway at a Justice Department building in D.C.

Raskin, who had been investigating Trump for keeping dozens of classified documents at his Palm Beach home and social club, was alarmed by what he saw as a huge gamble. In Florida, the case could wind up before U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon, a Trump-appointed jurist who had already temporarily blocked federal agents from reviewing sensitive records seized from Trump’s club during the investigation.

Smith and his top deputies had concluded that trying the case in Florida put them on firmer legal ground, reducing the risk of the most serious charges being overturned on appeal. And members of their team had initially calculated that there was just a 1 in 6 chance that a case in Florida would land in Cannon’s courtroom.

“I’m not worried about Florida,” Smith said later when presenting his decision to Justice Department officials.

But the early calculation of the odds that Cannon would get the case — and Smith’s faith that the evidence could win her over even after she did — turned out to be wrong.

This prosecution was illegal enough to begin with even without the proposed illegal venue shopping that was ultimately shot down.

Prosecutors like Raskin were absolutely rabid about securing a conviction, the law be damned.

Prosecutors have discretion over where to bring a charge, as long as some of the alleged criminal conduct occurred in the district where the case is pursued. Pearce put together an analysis that convinced Smith that Florida was the best choice. But before Smith briefed Garland, word of the planned shift began to spread among his team.

Raskin heard about it in the hallway from Bratt.

“What?” Raskin said, sounding surprised.

“Yeah, Jack has decided,” Bratt said.

The case law generally favored the prosecutors bringing the charges in Florida, where the conduct at the heart of the case had occurred. Smith had talked it over with his inner circle, as well as with Bratt, and all had agreed.

“It makes sense. I’ll explain it to you,” Bratt said, referencing Pearce’s analysis.

Raskin disagreed, and his gut instincts were nothing to scoff at. Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen, who had overseen the documents probe before Smith’s appointment, had asked Raskin to join the case for a reason. Raskin, then 59, had an impressive batting average in trials. While Smith had very little experience in prosecuting cases related to national security or classified records, Raskin had a lot. But the special counsel was only seeking the advice of his top deputies.

Raskin soon got a copy of Pearce’s analysis and agreed it leaned toward bringing the charges in Florida. But “so what?” Raskin asked Bratt. Prosecutors made their own venue decisions all the time. Whether the law favored going to Florida or not, Raskin told teammates, they first had to ensure their case had the best chance of being heard by someone impartial. Given what the prosecution team saw as her track record of disregarding precedent, Cannon getting the case was too enormous a risk to ignore, he said.

“This is an existential threat to the case,” Raskin told them.

Cooler heads ultimately prevailed, but only because Smith was worried about delays in the case in his rush to try it before the election (and the chance a conviction could get thrown out):

Smith’s team feared that any convictions they won in D.C. might be appealed on the grounds that the alleged crimes occurred in Florida. And even before a trial, Smith’s team thought it was likely that Trump’s lawyers would file a motion to move the case to Florida, potentially setting a trial back by several months.

Incredibly, Smith ran the prosecution from a hospital bed in his living room in Amsterdam.

On Nov. 14, Garland called Smith to gauge his willingness to oversee the Trump investigations. Garland knew Smith had just been in a bicycle accident in the Netherlands but had no idea how severely he was injured. Smith, a triathlete, was that day lying in a hospital bed, about to undergo a second operation to reconstruct his shattered leg, which emergency technicians had described as moving like a noodle. Nonetheless, Smith told Garland he would accept the job if asked.

Trump’s announcement the next day that he would seek another term sent Garland’s office right back to Smith. But the attorney general’s senior staff recognized a potential issue. Following the operation, Smith had been prescribed powerful painkillers, and they worried the sedatives could compromise Smith’s ability to legally take the oath of office. Smith decided to leave no doubt about his mental state: He discharged himself from the hospital against doctor’s orders. At home, he went cold turkey, taking no prescription drugs before Garland announced his appointment on Nov. 18.

For the next six weeks, Smith could not fly and could barely leave his home in Amsterdam. He ran the investigations into the former U.S. president from the first floor of his home, where a metal hospital bed had been set up for him to sleep in place of his family’s kitchen table.

To save time, instead of assembling a new team, he relied on more than a dozen prosecutors and FBI agents already working on the two cases from inside the Justice Department and the U.S. attorney’s office in D.C. Among them were attorneys Smith knew and trusted from his time leading the Justice Department’s vaunted Public Integrity Section, set up after Watergate with a broad mandate to investigate public corruption. Smith elevated one former staffer of that unit, J.P. Cooney, to be his deputy, and in November and December 2022 Cooney and others traveled to Smith’s home in Amsterdam to bring him up to speed first on the election-interference probe and then on the documents investigation.

According to the Post, Smith and his team also miscalculated the odds they would draw Judge Cannon.

Senior counselors followed up with Smith’s staff and in the following days reported back that the concerns seemed sound. Some members of Smith’s team, they reported, had also analyzed the likelihood Cannon would get the case, calculating the odds that she would be randomly assigned to oversee it at just 1 in 6.

But before a final decision was made, the team members realized they had not fully accounted for a key factor: judges’ caseloads in the Florida district. Reexamining the pool of potential South Florida judges, they found that some judges located closest to Mar-a-Lago did not work full time or had trials scheduled that would limit their availability.

The real chance of drawing Cannon was far higher, nearly 1 in 3, they calculated.

This case had no shot of standing up with a fair judge that would not blatantly favor the prosecutors like so many of them do.

A thunderstorm was rolling in over Miami that afternoon, darkening the sky. Sometime between 5 and 5:30 p.m., Smith’s team learned from the federal court’s website which judge had been assigned to the case. Some gasped seeing the initials at the top of the docket: “AMC,” for Aileen Mercedes Cannon.

Bratt called Olsen.

“You’re not going to believe it,” Bratt said. “We got Cannon.”

“We’re screwed,” Olsen said.

Bratt also notified Smith, who was back in Washington with many of the team members. Smith didn’t really react but thanked him for the update.

The deep state career prosecutors were despondent, according to the Post. Smith had to do some “hand-holding” of these emotional theater kids:

On Friday, June 9, the next day, Smith’s trusted inner circle was insisting in phone calls to officials at Justice Department headquarters that everything would be fine.

Garland, however, was nervous, staffers sensed. Cannon had acted so erratically, prosecutors felt, issuing unexpected rulings following the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, that no one could say if or how she might jam up and delay the government’s case.

Bratt poked his head into Smith’s office.

“This is really not good,” he said.

“We’ll see. We’ll see,” Smith replied. “We don’t know yet. Give her a chance.”

Smith seemed to recognize the seismic shift in the case, however, and the need to do some hand-holding, which was atypical for him. That Friday, the special counsel went from office to office, giving one-on-one pep talks to members of the classified-documents team — some of them despondent. He told them not to forget all the hard work they had put in to gather the evidence, and that now they needed to present their best case.

“We’ve got to keep our focus and hope for the best,” Smith told them.

The Biden DOJ refused to let Smith go after the judge and try to get her recused, much to Smith’s chagrin:

In August 2024, as Smith and his team were finishing up their appeal of Cannon’s ruling, he had also secretly concluded that Cannon should be removed as the presiding judge. Smith presented the appeal to Solicitor General Elizabeth B. Prelogar for her approval, as special counsel regulations required. He also asked her if he could seek to have Cannon removed by the appellate court, an unprecedented move for a special counsel.

[…]

Prelogar approved the appeal of Cannon’s ruling but rejected Smith’s plan to seek the judge’s removal, saying he didn’t have a strong enough basis to do so. Smith decided not to ask Garland to overrule Prelogar. If Smith had asked and Garland then turned him down, the Justice Department would have been required to notify Congress, and the disagreement would have surely become public.

What a sad and sordid chapter of our nation’s history.

October 29, 2025 - A new study exposes the Homeless Industrial Complex behind America's homelessness crisis

A homeless person lies on the sidewalk in New York on Dec. 27, 2024. (Credit: Selcuk Acar/Anadolu)

For years, Americans have been told that “compassion” for the homeless meant writing ever-larger checks – more money, more programs and far less accountability.

Now, at last, we have some answers for why homelessness has exploded even amid a tripling of public spending. 

A groundbreaking investigation, “Infiltrated” – backed by more than 50 pages of documentation from the Capital Research Center in cooperation with Discovery Institute – pulls back the curtain on a vast system of corruption. It reveals how billions in taxpayer funds intended to lift people out of homelessness have instead bankrolled radical activism and anti-American political agendas, betraying both the taxpayers who fund it and the homeless they were meant to help.

Despite unprecedented resources, homelessness in the United States now stands at its highest level in U.S. history. “Infiltrated” details how the nation’s most prominent “homeless advocacy” organizations have been weaponized against the very people they claim to serve – redirecting compassion into ideology and dependency into power.

It exposes how radical networks have quietly embedded themselves within leading homelessness nonprofits, sharing infrastructure, donors and ideology.

What began as a movement rooted in compassion has metastasized into what can only be described as a Homelessness Industrial Complex – a sprawling web of nonprofits, bureaucrats and activists feeding off the very crisis they claim to solve.

They’ve built an empire of corruption draped in “evidence-based” slogans that shield politics, protect paychecks and betray the vulnerable.

The report lays it bare: these networks posture as defenders of America’s homeless, yet in truth, they have become their greatest exploiters, dependent on failure to sustain power.

The origins trace back to 2013, when the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) enshrined Housing First as federal doctrine. Promising to “end homelessness in a decade,” HUD stripped away requirements for treatment and accountability, effectively institutionalizing a policy.

The result? Spending soared. Grants proliferated. Outcomes collapsed.

The Supreme Court’s Grants Pass v. Johnson case further exposed the rot. Over 700 nonprofits – collectively taking in $2.9 billion in government grants – filed briefs defending public encampments and opposing enforcement of anti-camping laws as “cruel and unusual punishment.” Their concern wasn’t compassion – it was the preservation of their money pot.

Private foundations joined the crusade.

Major philanthropic giants – Ford, Robert Wood Johnson and Gates Foundations – poured billions into Housing First and “equity” initiatives to promote ideology under the guise of helping the homeless.

Donor-advised funds masked the flow of money, enabling anonymous advocacy giving that blurred the line between charity and politics. (Read more: Fox News, 10/29/2025)  (Archive)

October 31, 2025 - Judge blocks Trump from requiring proof of citizenship on voter registration forms

Judge/Queen Colleen Kollar-Kotelly (Credit: public meme)

In a decision by U.S. District Judge Collen Kollar-Kotelly on Friday, Kollar-Kotelly “sided with Democratic and civil rights groups that sued the Trump administration” after the President issued an executive order in March entitled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” according to the Associated Press.

Kollar-Kotelly, who was appointed by former President Bill Clinton, claimed in her decision that “the proof-of-citizenship directive is an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers,” and argued that “on matters related to setting qualifications for voting and regulating federal election procedures,” the U.S. Constitution doesn’t give a “direct role to the President in either domain,” according to the outlet.

“Because our Constitution assigns responsibility for election regulation to the States and to Congress, this Court holds that the President lacks the authority to direct such changes,” Kollar-Kotelly said.

18 U.S.C. § 611, passed as part of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, (the IIRIRA) makes it illegal for most aliens to vote in federal elections.
