February 7, 2026 - ODNI Tulsi Gabbard: Senator Mark Warner and his friends in the propaganda media have repeatedly lied to the American people

Senator Mark Warner and his friends in the Propaganda Media have repeatedly lied to the American people that I or the ODNI “hid” a whistleblower complaint in a safe for eight months. This is a blatant lie.

The truth:

– I am not now, nor have I ever been, in possession or control of the Whistleblower’s complaint, so I obviously could not have “hidden” it in a safe. Biden-era IC Inspector General Tamara Johnson was in possession of and responsible for securing the complaint for months.

– The first time I saw the whistleblower complaint was 2 weeks ago when I had to review it to provide guidance on how it should be securely shared with Congress.

– As Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Warner knows very well that whistleblower complaints that contain highly classified and compartmented intelligence—even if they contain baseless allegations like this one—must be secured in a safe, which the Biden-era Inspector General Tamara Johnson did and her successor, Inspector General Chris Fox, continued to do. After IC Inspector General Fox hand-delivered the complaint to the Gang of 8, the complaint was returned to a safe where it remains, consistent with any information of such sensitivity.

– Either Senator Warner knows these facts and is intentionally lying to the American people, or he doesn’t have a clue how these things work and is therefore not qualified to be in the U.S. Senate—and certainly not the Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Here is a detailed chronology of the situation:

– June 2025, I became aware that a whistleblower made a complaint against me that after further investigation, neither Biden-era IC Inspector General Tamara Johnson nor current IC Inspector General Chris Fox found the complaint to be credible.

– The complaint required special handling and storage in a safe because the complainant chose to include highly sensitive information within the complaint itself rather than referencing the sensitive reporting and leaving the complaint at a lower level of classification.

– Security standards for complaints that include such sensitive intelligence required the Inspector General to keep the complaint and the intelligence referenced secured in a safe from the time the complaint was made, until now.

– In June 2025 after Biden-era Inspector General Tamara Johnson completed her review of the complaint, no further oversight or investigative activity took place.

– Biden-era Inspector General Johnson had communicated with me directly throughout the course of her investigation into this complaint, yet neither she nor anyone from her office informed me that the Whistleblower chose to send the complaint to Congress which would require me to issue security instructions.

– When a complaint is not found to be credible, there is no timeline under the law for the provision of security guidance. The “21 day” requirement that Senator Warner alleges I did not comply with, only applies when a complaint is determined by the Inspector General to be both urgent AND apparently credible. That was NOT the case here.

– I was made aware of the need to provide security guidance by IC Inspector General Chris Fox on December 4, 2025, which he detailed in his letter to Congress.

– I took immediate action to provide the security guidance to the Intelligence Community Inspector General who then shared the complaint and referenced intelligence with relevant members of Congress last week.

Senator Warner’s decision to spread lies and baseless accusations over the months for political gain, undermines our national security and is a disservice to the American people and the Intelligence Community.

Rep. Abigail Spanberger calls Tulsi Gabbard a “conspiracy theorist” as she goes on Jen Psaki’s show to push her own conspiracy theory: The completely baseless, evidence-free insinuation that Tulsi is a “Russian asset.”

She says Tulsi is “dangerous,” when Rep. Spanberger is the one who has backed every reckless escalation of the Ukraine War — and has called for even more — hurting our own readiness while raising the risk of nuclear war.

Spanberger claims a serving Army Reservist who served on the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees can’t be trusted, when she herself is a former CIA agent, a veteran of the most consistently incompetent, untrustworthy, paranoid, failed agency in the American government. Spanberger’s colleagues are the ones who got us into Iraq, believed the Russia hoax, and called the Biden laptop fake. Spanberger herself spread outrageous lies from our “intel community,” like the bogus claim that Russia put bounties on U.S. soldiers.

People like Spanberger are exactly why Americans despise and distrust the intelligence agencies that are suppose to serve them — and why we need Tulsi Gabbard to reform them.

February 9, 2026 - Trump points to missing items, including nearly 50 boxes of election records, from the FBI’s Fulton County raid

February 9, 2026 - Newly released FBI 302 documents state Trump was a whistleblower for Epstein FBI investigation in 2006

President Donald Trump dismissed sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as “disgusting” and decried his procurer, Ghislaine Maxwell as “evil” back in 2006, a now-retired cop informed FBI agents in 2019. The revelation is contained in a newly unsealed court document released Monday by the Department of Justice.

CNBC reports Trump personally called the then-Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter “to tell him ‘thank goodness you’ [are] stopping [Epstein], everyone has known he’s been doing this,” Reiter told the FBI in October 2019, according to the FBI document, known as a 302.

The document stated whistleblower Trump “was one of the very first people to call” the police when word spread Epstein was under investigation.

This simple fact defies the president’s opponents who have since spread lies and falsehoods about his relationship with Epstein and convicted associate Maxwell.

Trump said in the call he distanced himself from Epstein, according to the document, claiming he “got the hell out of there” when around Epstein with teenagers present.

The outlet notes, “Reiter’s name is redacted from the 302. But the document identifies the interview subject as the person who had been Palm Beach’s police chief at the time of the department’s investigation of Epstein, who was Reiter.”

Reiter told the Miami Herald, which first reported the document, Trump called him in 2006, after the police department’s probe of Epstein became publicly known.

Trump told Reiter he had thrown Epstein out of his club, Mar-a-Lago, which is located in Palm Beach, the summary said. (Read more: Breitbart, 2/10/2026) (Archive)

February 10, 2026 - Oregon teen is arrested for plotting to behead Portland ICE agents

New: An Oregon teen has been arrested for plotting to kill ICE agents in Portland.

Rayden Tanner Coleman, 18, of St. Helens, devised a plan that included following agents home, severing their heads, and taking them as trophies.

Investigators found him in possession of Molotov cocktails, surveillance equipment, tactical axes, military knives, and shovels. Coleman had also been making payments for an AR-15, according to court documents.

His roommates said that Coleman tried to recruit them to kill ICE agents and attempted to talk him out of it, but his extremism grew. They warned police about the death plot, resulting in Coleman’s arrest.

Coleman, who shared his plans on Discord, admitted to the plot while under interrogation, per charging documents.

He reportedly told his roommates that he needed to kill ICE agents to prevent them from “kidnapping” people.

February 10, 2026 - Democrats want ‘sanctuary locations’ for illegal aliens at polling places

Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, the Senate Majority Whip, recently revealed that among the many insane demands being made by Democrats right now, is the demand for ‘sanctuary locations’ at polling places.

Barrasso rightly asks why this is needed if it is against the law for illegal aliens to vote. They’re not voting, right? So why is this necessary?

Democrats are really letting the truth just hang out here, aren’t they?

Breitbart News has details:

During remarks on the Senate floor Tuesday, Barrasso highlighted the Democrats’ “Christmas list of demands” they are fighting for instead of agreeing to enforce immigration law and avoiding another partial government shutdown.

“Democrats have come up with a Christmas list of demands, demands designed to appeal to their radical base. This growing list of Democrat demands makes it almost impossible to remove dangerous illegal immigrants from the streets of our nation,” the senator said. “Democrats are resisting even the most reasonable attempts to enforce our immigration laws.”…

According to Barrasso, “The more we learn about the demands coming from the minority leader and that party, the less the normal American citizen likes them — and that’s especially if you are concerned about any safety or any security in the community in which you live.”

“The Democrats continually want to make it harder to arrest and remove illegal immigrant criminals,” he continued…

“The so-called ‘sensitive location’ defined by the Democrats — in the past it included places of worship, hospitals, schools, now they want to include in that list — polling places,” he continued. “Well, think about that. It’s an entirely new provision. Polling places have never been included on any list like this before.”

February 10, 2026 - Far-left nonprofits in the hot seat as lawmaker exposes them for 'sowing chaos' in US

As unrest escalates in Minneapolis, investigators are uncovering a network of far-left activist groups allegedly bankrolled by a wealthy U.S. expat in China with reported ties to Chinese Communist Party–aligned propaganda efforts.

Hours before banging the gavel to commence a hearing Tuesday to investigate the dynamic of “malign foreign influence,” House Committee on Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith escalated his investigation into the China-based, American-born Marxist tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, who has allegedly been “sowing chaos and spreading Chinese propaganda, possibly in coordination with a foreign government.”

Rep. Jason Smith (Credit: video clipping)

Fox News Digital has obtained copies of letters that Smith sent on Monday night to two U.S. nonprofits – BreakThrough BT Media Inc. and Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research – demanding records of their ties to Singham and alleging they are promoting propaganda aligned with the Chinese Communist Party.

At 10 a.m. on Tuesday [2/10/26], Smith will chair a hearing called, “Foreign Influence in American Non-profits: Unmasking Threats from Beijing and Beyond.” The hearing will be broadcast online at the committee’s website. Singham, Tricontinental and BreakThrough BT Media, which publishes articles as “BreakThrough News,” didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Congressional investigators say the Singham network sits at the center of a malign foreign influence operation that allegedly exploits U.S. nonprofit laws to inject anti-American propaganda into domestic protest movements and sow discord from within the United States.

In separate letters, Smith demanded records from BreakThrough and Tricontinental, warning that both tax-exempt organizations may be operating outside their lawful purpose as possible unregistered foreign agents, while helping to fuel domestic unrest under the guise of journalism and academic research.

February 11, 2026 - Judicial disparity is exposed: 90% of 2020 BLM/Antifa rioters were not prosecuted, but 84.6% of J6 rioters were convicted and jailed

Throughout the 2020 BLM summer riots, multiple federal buildings were seized or burned down, dozens of people were killed, hundreds of police officers injured, and billions lost in damages.

(…) An FBI memo reported on by Just the News earlier this week shows the bureau’s Boston office led a tabletop exercise and culled open-source intelligence on the potential for violence from both left-leaning anarchists to right-leaning extremists. It recommended relying on undercover informants and aggressive prosecutions for minor crimes to keep tabs on potentially violent groups and deter them.

90% of 2020 BLM protesters were not jailed, but 84.6% of J6 rioters convicted

The document raises new questions for congressional investigators about why the bureau failed to heed its own warnings ahead of the Capitol riot and whether it provides further evidence there was a double standard in federal prosecutions.

News outlets have reported for years on the fact that a vast majority of cases against protesters who broke the law during the fiery and violent summer of 2020 were dropped, especially by localities. A 2021 analysis from The Guardian found that this happened in about 90% of cases across a dozen U.S. jurisdictions that experienced protests.

In Houston, one of the epicenters of protests in Texas, about 93% of all charges brought were dropped, The Guardian reported. This is despite the fact that the demonstrators blocked a federal highway, threw objects at police officers, and damaged buildings. Eight officers were also injured. In Philadelphia, where protesters smashed windows, looted stores, and set fire to police cars, at least 95% of the arrests resulted in no prosecutions or dropped charges.

Many of these cases were handled by local prosecutors. In the more than 300 federal cases brought against those involved in the protests, fewer than half pleaded guilty or were convicted at trial, the Associated Press found.

Conversely, more than 1,500 individuals were arrested in connection with the Capitol riot, resulting in 1,270 total convictions–making that outcome about 80% of the cases–on the eve of President Donald Trump’s sweeping pardon last year. That comes out to about 86%.

Federal prosecutors also used a controversial statute that allowed them to prosecute some of those who were charged with obstructing an official proceeding for interrupting the Jan. 6 congressional certification of the electoral college vote. The statute was also used in some of the charges levied against President Trump by Special Counsel Jack Smith in his case arguing Trump was directly responsible for the violence that day.

That interpretation of the statute, which Republicans often pointed to as evidence of the double standard of aggressive prosecutions, was eventually struck down by the Supreme Court in June 2024. The high court ruled that the law only applied when a defendant prevented the use of “records, documents, objects, or other things used in an official proceeding.”

February 11, 2026 - State Department says far left group ‘Code Pink’ is linked to the Chinese Communist Party

On February 28, 2023, at a U.S. House of Representatives Special Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and China, “Code Pink” members appeared in quick succession to interrupt the witness statement. (Credit: Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images)

The State Department has just reported to Congress that the far left group ‘Code Pink’ is linked to the Chinese Communist Party. This should come as a surprise to no one.

Code Pink began making a nuisance of themselves during the presidency of George W. Bush. They portrayed themselves as an anti-war group. Of course, once Obama became president and continued most of Bush’s foreign policy and the wars, they became curiously silent. Some of them were even guests at Obama’s inauguration.

Now that Trump, a Republican, is president again, they are back to their old tactics of showing up in places where they were not invited and being generally annoying.

This move by the State Department has the potential to change the game.

The New York Post reports:

State Department identifies Code Pink and other far-left groups as vectors of Chinese influence operations

The State Department transmitted a report to Congress Tuesday linking lefty nonprofits Code Pink and the People’s Forum to Chinese influence operations.

“Partisan hacks spent years peddling the phony Russia collusion hoax while turning a blind eye to the sprawling web of far-left activist organizations who push the agendas of the Chinese Communist Party,” Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Sarah Rogers said in a statement provided to The Post.

“Organizations like Code Pink and the People’s Forum denigrate the United States, whitewash the violence of Marxist regimes, and run cover for China while enjoying an influx of cash from a donor network with connections to the Chinese Communist Party,” Rogers added.

“The State Department will pursue complete transparency for the donor and NGO networks that lobby for our adversaries and seek to weaken the resolve of the United States.”

The report on “Countering Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference” alleges that China “spreads propaganda through influence campaigns run by nonprofit organizations like Code Pink, the People’s Forum and groups linked with the notorious Singham network.”

This has been a long time coming.

February 11, 2026 - State Department calls the UK-based Center for Countering Digital Hate 'a key collaborator' with the Biden administration to censor U.S. citizens

1/7 🚨 BREAKING: The U.S. State Department just filed a sworn record in federal court calling the UK-based Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and its CEO Imran Ahmed ‘a key collaborator with the Biden administration on weaponizing the national security bureaucracy to censor U.S. citizens.'”

Not our words. The government’s.

Certified under penalty of perjury. Signed by Secretary Rubio personally.

Here’s what this means for every American. 🧵👇

2/7 For 4 years they told us nobody coordinated anything.

The government was “just sharing views.” The platforms were “just enforcing policies.” CCDH was “just publishing reports.”

3 weeks ago, CCDH told a Florida court it never even COMMUNICATED with the White House.

21 days later, the State Dept called its CEO a “key collaborator.”

Both are now in the federal record. Only one can be true.

🔥 See it for yourself — what they told the court vs. what the government found:

***

3/7 CCDH’s own leaked internal docs listed their priorities:

☠️ “Kill Musk’s Twitter” 🇪🇺 “Trigger EU and UK regulatory action”

These aren’t the words of a “watchdog.” They’re the objectives of a foreign organization running what its own staff called “black ops” against Americans.

And the State Dept confirmed they SUCCEEDED.

Read @thackerpd and @mtaibbi’s original reporting on CCDH’s leaked memo and election interference: https://disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/election-exclusive-british-advisors

4/7 Their targets included RFK Jr. — now the Secretary of HHS. @SecKennedy @RobertKennedyJr

CCDH ran “black ops” to deplatform him. They lobbied Google to demonetize American media. They pressured every major platform to silence the people in his orbit — during the exact period he was building a political movement.

That’s not content moderation. That’s ELECTION INTERFERENCE by a foreign NGO.‼️

***

5/7 Remember Murthy v. Missouri? The Supreme Court said those plaintiffs couldn’t prove the specific chain from government → platform → their injuries.

Our case — Finn v. Global Engagement Center — was built to fix that. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flmd.441979/gov.uscourts.flmd.441979.83.0.pdf

Our names were on the list. The government cited the list. The platforms acted on the list.

🚨Now the State Dept’s own sworn record confirms the chain. This is the case Murthy couldn’t be.

6/7 CCDH’s CEO accused us of “profiting from causing death.” He also encouraged comparisons of the “disinformation dozen” to sexual predators, mass murders and a criminal network under Parliamentary privilege: https://sayerji.substack.com/p/when-parliament-becomes-a-weapon?utm_source=publication-search

He never retracted it. Never substantiated it. Never corrected it.

Instead he REPEATED it in a second federal court filing — while telling a different court it was just “publication of reports.”

The State Dept says he “successfully led efforts to lobby” and “pressure U.S. companies to restrict speech.”

That’s not publishing. That’s an operation.

***

7/7 We are 6 people and a volunteer legal team against Google, Meta, CCDH, and the federal government.

If we win, the precedent protects EVERY American from government-coordinated censorship.

If we lose, the blueprint survives for the next crisis and the next inconvenient voices.

The Secretary of State just proved us right. Help us finish this — together.

February 12, 2026 - Black Americans expose Democrat party's true racist history in viral social media movement

Nicki Minaj’s recent embrace of President Donald Trump, including her support for voter ID laws and public praise for the president, is now sparking a fresh wave of political reaction online with some fans saying they are leaving the Democratic Party and aligning with Republicans.

The fan posts, first reported by Newsweek on Saturday, surfaced after a week of heightened attention around Minaj’s political comments.

Several self-identified fans, often known as the “Barbz,” said on X that Minaj’s stance had influenced their own political thinking.

One fan wrote on X, “Today is the day I switch to republican,” in a post that had been viewed more than 300,000 times. The user later wrote in replies that they had never voted before but planned to do so.

A third account wrote, “MAGA BARBZ IT IS I will never vote dem again!!” in a post that drew more than 70,000 views.

The online reaction follows a series of political statements and public appearances by Minaj over the past week that drew widespread attention. Earlier this month, the rapper voiced support for voter ID laws in a post on X, questioning why the issue remains a subject of debate in the U.S. The comments drew praise from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla. (Read more: Fox News, 2/7/2026)  (Archive)

EXPLOSIVE: Black Americans EXPOSE Democrat Party’s True History in Viral Social Media Movement

Something remarkable is happening across social media that has the Democratic establishment in full panic mode. Black Americans are looking directly into cameras and exposing the truth about which party actually fought for their freedom throughout history – and the receipts are undeniable.

Replying to @Kim Andreson HARRIET TOO 😳 #fyp #conservative #blackhistory #america #politics

The videos are going viral faster than the mainstream media can suppress them. These aren’t Republican talking points or conservative spin. These are foundational Black Americans examining their own history and drawing their own powerful conclusions about decades of political deception.

The Constitutional Receipts Don’t Lie

The facts speak for themselves, and they’re damning for Democrats. The Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery? It received 100 percent Republican support and just 23 percent from Democrats. The Fifteenth Amendment guaranteeing voting rights for all Americans? Again, 100 percent Republican support and zero percent from Democrats.

Here’s the kicker that really exposes the lie: The Republican Party was founded in 1854 in a Wisconsin schoolhouse with one explicit purpose – stopping Democrats from expanding slavery. Yet somehow, through decades of propaganda and media manipulation, the Democratic Party convinced entire communities to forget who actually stood beside them during America’s darkest chapters.

February 12, 2026 - Cartels doxx ICE Director Todd Lyons — Post home floorplans, video of wife walking to work in chilling threat campaign

On Thursday, the Senate Homeland Security Committee heard testimony from the leaders of ICE and the U.S. Customs & Border Protection agency. Minnesota officials also gave testimony.

Todd M. Lyons is the senior official performing the duties of the Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). His testimony about the threats to his family and other agents is stunning.

After 9/11, Mr. Lyons returned to active duty with Special Operations Command, antiterrorism & force protection. His written opening statement is here, and his impressive career bio is here.

With deep concerns about the doxxing of law enforcement, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) directed questions to Director Lyons. Mr. Lyons explains that videos of his wife walking to work have been posted online. The cartels have posted the schematics (floorplans) of his home online too.

Senator Johnson explained that cartels use similar tactics in Central America, to intimidate Police Chiefs.

February 14, 2026 - Hillary Clinton admits mass migration has been “destabilizing” to society; Barack Obama admits we are a nation of laws with borders

For years now, the left has treated mass migration as this moral, beautiful thing. And if you questioned it, that meant you were some heartless, xenophobic, or stuck in some outdated nationalist fantasy loop. Borders were sold as cruel, enforcement (ICE) was framed as oppression, and “diversity is our strength” wasn’t just a slogan; it was a cult.

Now suddenly, two of the most powerful Dems in modern politics are singing a very different tune.

And no, this isn’t some off-the-cuff, confusing comment from a second-string nobody. This is Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. When those two start shifting the message in a big way, there’s trouble afoot.

If you have even a very basic understanding of how politics works, you can see what’s going on here. Internal polling must be absolutely catastrophic. Literally catastrophic. Because you don’t reverse course like this unless the data is a bloody crime scene.

Hillary Clinton, a tried and true globalist, has just flipped the script.

And then came Barry, reinforcing the same message, but in regard to borders and immigration… same overall tone and direction.

That’s a full-scale rebrand… or an attempt at it.

When Hillary Clinton says mass migration has been destabilizing and went too far, and Barack Obama says we are a nation of laws with borders that must be orderly and fair, that is a direct slap in the face to the violent activist soldiers that have dominated the party’s messaging for years.

February 14, 2026 - Secretary of State Marco Rubio gives critically important speech to Munich Security Conference

Overnight in the USA time zones, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a very important speech at the Munich Security Conference [3:00am ET].  The video is below [prompted] and a FULL transcription added below:

This is a critically worded speech that is very important to listen to with great deliberation.  Within his remarks Rubio is telling Europe that we want to remain allied in our interests, but we are no longer going to allow the system of “globalism” to destroy our uniquely American life.

The United States is separating from the madness; this is not up for debate. The only question is whether Europe is too far gone, or whether they will join us.

The euphoria that followed the collapse of the Berlin Wall, “led us to a dangerous delusion.  That we had entered quote the end of history. That every nation would now be a liberal democracy; that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood. That the rules-based global order, an overused term, would now replace the national interest, and that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world. This was a foolish idea that ignored both human nature and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history, and it has cost us dearly.” 

(Transcript)

SECRETARY RUBIO: “Thank you very much. We gather here today as members of a historic alliance, an alliance that saved and changed the world. When this conference began in 1963, it was in a nation – actually, it was on a continent – that was divided against itself. The line between communism and freedom ran through the heart of Germany. The first barbed fences of the Berlin Wall had gone up just two years prior.

And just months before that first conference, before our predecessors first met here, here in Munich, the Cuban Missile Crisis had brought the world to the brink of nuclear destruction. Even as World War II still burned fresh in the memory of Americans and Europeans alike, we found ourselves staring down the barrel of a new global catastrophe – one with the potential for a new kind of destruction, more apocalyptic and final than anything before in the history of mankind.

At the time of that first gathering, Soviet communism was on the march. Thousands of years of Western civilization hung in the balance. At that time, victory was far from certain. But we were driven by a common purpose. We were unified not just by what we were fighting against; we were unified by what we were fighting for. And together, Europe and America prevailed and a continent was rebuilt. Our people prospered. In time, the East and West blocs were reunited. A civilization was once again made whole. ”

“That infamous wall that had cleaved this nation into two came down, and with it an evil empire, and the East and West became one again. But the euphoria of this triumph led us to a dangerous delusion: that we had entered, quote, “the end of history;” that every nation would now be a liberal democracy; that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood; that the rules-based global order – an overused term – would now replace the national interest; and that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world.

This was a foolish idea that ignored both human nature and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history. And it has cost us dearly. In this delusion, we embraced a dogmatic vision of free and unfettered trade, even as some nations protected their economies and subsidized their companies to systematically undercut ours – shuttering our plants, resulting in large parts of our societies being deindustrialized, shipping millions of working and middle-class jobs overseas, and handing control of our critical supply chains to both adversaries and rivals.

We increasingly outsourced our sovereignty to international institutions while many nations invested in massive welfare states at the cost of maintaining the ability to defend themselves. This, even as other countries have invested in the most rapid military buildup in all of human history and have not hesitated to use hard power to pursue their own interests. To appease a climate cult, we have imposed energy policies on ourselves that are impoverishing our people, even as our competitors exploit oil and coal and natural gas and anything else – not just to power their economies, but to use as leverage against our own.

And in a pursuit of a world without borders, we opened our doors to an unprecedented wave of mass migration that threatens the cohesion of our societies, the continuity of our culture, and the future of our people. We made these mistakes together, and now, together, we owe it to our people to face those facts and to move forward, to rebuild.

Under President Trump, the United States of America will once again take on the task of renewal and restoration, driven by a vision of a future as proud, as sovereign, and as vital as our civilization’s past. And while we are prepared, if necessary, to do this alone, it is our preference and it is our hope to do this together with you, our friends here in Europe.

For the United States and Europe, we belong together. America was founded 250 years ago, but the roots began here on this continent long before. The man who settled and built the nation of my birth arrived on our shores carrying the memories and the traditions and the Christian faith of their ancestors as a sacred inheritance, an unbreakable link between the old world and the new.

We are part of one civilization – Western civilization. We are bound to one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry, and the sacrifices our forefathers made together for the common civilization to which we have fallen heir.

And so this is why we Americans may sometimes come off as a little direct and urgent in our counsel. This is why President Trump demands seriousness and reciprocity from our friends here in Europe. The reason why, my friends, is because we care deeply. We care deeply about your future and ours. And if at times we disagree, our disagreements come from our profound sense of concern about a Europe with which we are connected – not just economically, not just militarily. We are connected spiritually and we are connected culturally. We want Europe to be strong. We believe that Europe must survive, because the two great wars of the last century serve for us as history’s constant reminder that ultimately, our destiny is and will always be intertwined with yours, because we know – (applause) – because we know that the fate of Europe will never be irrelevant to our own.

National security, which this conference is largely about, is not merely series of technical questions – how much we spend on defense or where, how we deploy it, these are important questions. They are. But they are not the fundamental one. The fundamental question we must answer at the outset is what exactly are we defending, because armies do not fight for abstractions. Armies fight for a people; armies fight for a nation. Armies fight for a way of life. And that is what we are defending: a great civilization that has every reason to be proud of its history, confident of its future, and aims to always be the master of its own economic and political destiny.

It was here in Europe where the ideas that planted the seeds of liberty that changed the world were born. It was here in Europe where the world – which gave the world the rule of law, the universities, and the scientific revolution. It was this continent that produced the genius of Mozart and Beethoven, of Dante and Shakespeare, of Michelangelo and Da Vinci, of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. And this is the place where the vaulted ceilings of the Sistine Chapel and the towering spires of the great cathedral in Cologne, they testify not just to the greatness of our past or to a faith in God that inspired these marvels. They foreshadow the wonders that await us in our future. But only if we are unapologetic in our heritage and proud of this common inheritance can we together begin the work of envisioning and shaping our economic and our political future.

Deindustrialization was not inevitable. It was a conscious policy choice, a decades-long economic undertaking that stripped our nations of their wealth, of their productive capacity, and of their independence. And the loss of our supply chain sovereignty was not a function of a prosperous and healthy system of global trade. It was foolish. It was a foolish but voluntary transformation of our economy that left us dependent on others for our needs and dangerously vulnerable to crisis.

Mass migration is not, was not, isn’t some fringe concern of little consequence. It was and continues to be a crisis which is transforming and destabilizing societies all across the West. Together we can reindustrialize our economies and rebuild our capacity to defend our people. But the work of this new alliance should not be focused just on military cooperation and reclaiming the industries of the past. It should also be focused on, together, advancing our mutual interests and new frontiers, unshackling our ingenuity, our creativity, and the dynamic spirit to build a new Western century. Commercial space travel and cutting-edge artificial intelligence; industrial automation and flex manufacturing; creating a Western supply chain for critical minerals not vulnerable to extortion from other powers; and a unified effort to compete for market share in the economies of the Global South. Together we can not only take back control of our own industries and supply chains – we can prosper in the areas that will define the 21st century.

But we must also gain control of our national borders. Controlling who and how many people enter our countries, this is not an expression of xenophobia. It is not hate. It is a fundamental act of national sovereignty. And the failure to do so is not just an abdication of one of our most basic duties owed to our people. It is an urgent threat to the fabric of our societies and the survival of our civilization itself.

And finally, we can no longer place the so-called global order above the vital interests of our people and our nations. We do not need to abandon the system of international cooperation we authored, and we don’t need to dismantle the global institutions of the old order that together we built. But these must be reformed. These must be rebuilt.

For example, the United Nations still has tremendous potential to be a tool for good in the world. But we cannot ignore that today, on the most pressing matters before us, it has no answers and has played virtually no role. It could not solve the war in Gaza. Instead, it was American leadership that freed captives from barbarians and brought about a fragile truce. It had not solved the war in Ukraine. It took American leadership and partnership with many of the countries here today just to bring the two sides to the table in search of a still-elusive peace.

It was powerless to constrain the nuclear program of radical Shia clerics in Tehran. That required 14 bombs dropped with precision from American B-2 bombers. And it was unable to address the threat to our security from a narcoterrorist dictator in Venezuela. Instead, it took American Special Forces to bring this fugitive to justice.

In a perfect world, all of these problems and more would be solved by diplomats and strongly worded resolutions. But we do not live in a perfect world, and we cannot continue to allow those who blatantly and openly threaten our citizens and endanger our global stability to shield themselves behind abstractions of international law which they themselves routinely violate.

This is the path that President Trump and the United States has embarked upon. It is the path we ask you here in Europe to join us on. It is a path we have walked together before and hope to walk together again. For five centuries, before the end of the Second World War, the West had been expanding – its missionaries, its pilgrims, its soldiers, its explorers pouring out from its shores to cross oceans, settle new continents, build vast empires extending out across the globe.

But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting. Europe was in ruins. Half of it lived behind an Iron Curtain and the rest looked like it would soon follow. The great Western empires had entered into terminal decline, accelerated by godless communist revolutions and by anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the map in the years to come.

Against that backdrop, then, as now, many came to believe that the West’s age of dominance had come to an end and that our future was destined to be a faint and feeble echo of our past. But together, our predecessors recognized that decline was a choice, and it was a choice they refused to make. This is what we did together once before, and this is what President Trump and the United States want to do again now, together with you.

And this is why we do not want our allies to be weak, because that makes us weaker. We want allies who can defend themselves so that no adversary will ever be tempted to test our collective strength. This is why we do not want our allies to be shackled by guilt and shame. We want allies who are proud of their culture and of their heritage, who understand that we are heirs to the same great and noble civilization, and who, together with us, are willing and able to defend it.

And this is why we do not want allies to rationalize the broken status quo rather than reckon with what is necessary to fix it, for we in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West’s managed decline. We do not seek to separate, but to revitalize an old friendship and renew the greatest civilization in human history. What we want is a reinvigorated alliance that recognizes that what has ailed our societies is not just a set of bad policies but a malaise of hopelessness and complacency. An alliance – the alliance that we want is one that is not paralyzed into inaction by fear – fear of climate change, fear of war, fear of technology. Instead, we want an alliance that boldly races into the future. And the only fear we have is the fear of the shame of not leaving our nations prouder, stronger, and wealthier for our children.

An alliance ready to defend our people, to safeguard our interests, and to preserve the freedom of action that allows us to shape our own destiny – not one that exists to operate a global welfare state and atone for the purported sins of past generations. An alliance that does not allow its power to be outsourced, constrained, or subordinated to systems beyond its control; one that does not depend on others for the critical necessities of its national life; and one that does not maintain the polite pretense that our way of life is just one among many and that asks for permission before it acts. And above all, an alliance based on the recognition that we, the West, have inherited together – what we have inherited together is something that is unique and distinctive and irreplaceable, because this, after all, is the very foundation of the transatlantic bond.

Acting together in this way, we will not just help recover a sane foreign policy. It will restore to us a clearer sense of ourselves. It will restore a place in the world, and in so doing, it will rebuke and deter the forces of civilizational erasure that today menace both America and Europe alike.

So in a time of headlines heralding the end of the transatlantic era, let it be known and clear to all that this is neither our goal nor our wish – because for us Americans, our home may be in the Western Hemisphere, but we will always be a child of Europe. (Applause.)

Our story began with an Italian explorer whose adventure into the great unknown to discover a new world brought Christianity to the Americas – and became the legend that defined the imagination of a our pioneer nation.

Our first colonies were built by English settlers, to whom we owe not just the language we speak but the whole of our political and legal system. Our frontiers were shaped by Scots-Irish – that proud, hearty clan from the hills of Ulster that gave us Davy Crockett and Mark Twain and Teddy Roosevelt and Neil Armonstrong.

Our great midwestern heartland was built by German farmers and craftsmen who transformed empty plains into a global agricultural powerhouse – and by the way, dramatically upgraded the quality of American beer. (Laughter.)

Our expansion into the interior followed the footsteps of French fur traders and explorers whose names, by the way, still adorn the street signs and towns’ names all across the Mississippi Valley. Our horses, our ranches, our rodeos – the entire romance of the cowboy archetype that became synonymous with the American West – these were born in Spain. And our largest and most iconic city was named New Amsterdam before it was named New York.

And do you know that in the year that my country was founded, Lorenzo and Catalina Geroldi lived in Casale Monferrato in the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. And Jose and Manuela Reina lived in Sevilla, Spain. I don’t know what, if anything, they knew about the 13 colonies which had gained their independence from the British empire, but here’s what I am certain of: They could have never imagined that 250 years later, one of their direct descendants would be back here today on this continent as the chief diplomat of that infant nation. And yet here I am, reminded by my own story that both our histories and our fates will always be linked.

Together we rebuilt a shattered continent in the wake of two devastating world wars. When we found ourselves divided once again by the Iron Curtain, the free West linked arms with the courageous dissidents struggling against tyranny in the East to defeat Soviet communism. We have fought against each other, then reconciled, then fought, then reconciled again. And we have bled and died side by side on battlefields from Kapyong to Kandahar.

And I am here today to leave it clear that America is charting the path for a new century of prosperity, and that once again we want to do it together with you, our cherished allies and our oldest friends. (Applause.)

We want to do it together with you, with a Europe that is proud of its heritage and of its history; with a Europe that has the spirit of creation of liberty that sent ships out into uncharted seas and birthed our civilization; with a Europe that has the means to defend itself and the will to survive. We should be proud of what we achieved together in the last century, but now we must confront and embrace the opportunities of a new one – because yesterday is over, the future is inevitable, and our destiny together awaits. Thank you.” (Applause.)

~ Questions and Responses ~
QUESTION: Mr. Secretary, I’m not sure you heard the sigh of relief through this hall when we were just listening to what I would interpret as a message of reassurance, of partnership. You spoke of intertwined relations between the United States and Europe – reminds me of statements made decades ago by your predecessors when the discussion was: is actually America a European power? Is America a power in Europe? Thank you for offering this message of reassurance about our partnership.

This is actually not the first time that Marco Rubio is here at the Munich Security Conference – been here before a couple of times, but it’s the first time he has been and he is the speaker as Secretary of State. So thank you again. We have only a couple of minutes now for just a few questions, and if I may, we collected questions from the audience.

One of the key issues here yesterday, today, is, of course – continues to be the question of how to deal with the war in Ukraine. Many of us in the discussions over the last day, the last 24 hours, have voiced their impression that the Russians – let me put it colloquially – the Russians are playing for time, they’re not really interested in a meaningful settlement. There is no indication that they’re willing to compromise on any of their maximalist objectives. Offer to us, if you could, your assessment of where we are and where you think we can go.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Well, I think where we are at this point is that the issues at play that have to be – here’s the good news. The good news is that the issues that need to be confronted to end this war have been narrowed. That’s the good news. The bad news is they’ve been narrowed to the hardest questions to answer, and work remains to be done in that front. I hear your point about – the answer is we don’t know. We don’t know the Russians are serious about ending the war; they say they are – and under what terms they were willing to do it and whether we can find terms that are acceptable to Ukraine that Russia will always agree to. But we’re going to continue to test it.

In the meantime, everything else continues to happen. The United States has imposed additional sanctions on Russia’s oil. In our conversations with India, we’ve gotten their commitment to stop buying additional Russian oil. Europe has taken its set of steps moving forward. The Pearl Program continues in which American weaponry is being sold for the Ukrainian war effort. So all these things continue. Nothing has stopped in the interim. So there’s no buying of time here in that regard.

What we can’t answer – but we’re going to continue to test – is whether there is an outcome that Ukraine can live with and that Russia will accept. And I would say it’s been elusive up to this point. We’ve made progress in the sense that for the first time, I think in years, at least at the technical level, there were military officials from both sides that met together last week, and there’ll be – and there’ll be meetings again on Tuesday, although it may not be the same group of people.

Look, we’re going to continue to do everything we can to play this role of bringing this war to an end. I don’t think anybody in this room would be against a negotiated settlement to this war so long as the conditions are just and sustainable. And that’s what we aim to achieve, and we’re going to continue to try to achieve it, even as all these other things continue to happen on the sanctions front and so forth.

QUESTION: Thank you very much. I’m sure if we had more time there were many questions on Ukraine. But let me conclude by asking a question about something entirely different. The next speaker here in just a couple of minutes will be the foreign minister of China. When you served in the Senate, sir, people considered you a kind of a China hawk.

SECRETARY RUBIO: So did they.

QUESTION: So did they?

SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah.

QUESTION: The – we know that there will be, in about two months’ time, a summit meeting between President Trump and President Xi Jinping. Give us your expectation. Are you optimistic? Can there be a, quote/unquote, “deal” with China? What do you expect?

SECRETARY RUBIO: Well, I would say this. The two largest economies in the world, two of the big powers on the planet, we have an obligation to communicate with them and talk, and so do many of you on a bilateral basis as well. I mean, it would be geopolitical malpractice to not be in conversations with China. I would say this: because we’re two large countries with huge global interests, our national interests will often not align. Their national interests and ours will not align, and we owe it to the world to try to manage those as best we can, obviously avoiding conflict, both economic and worse. And that – so it’s important for us to have communications with them in that regard.

On areas in which our interests are aligned, I think we can work together to make positive impact on the world, and we seek opportunities to do that with them. So – but we have to have a relationship with China. And any of the countries represented here today are going to have to have a relationship with China, always understanding that nothing that we agree to could come at the expense of our national interest. And frankly, we expect China to act in their national interest, as we expect every nation-state to act in their national interest. And the goal of diplomacy is to try to navigate those times in which our national interests come into conflict with one another, always hoping to do it peacefully.

I think we also have a special obligation because whatever happens between the U.S. and China on trade has a global implication. So there are long-term challenges that we face that we’re going to have to confront that are going to be irritants in our relationship with China. That’s not just true for the United States; that’s true for the broader West. But I do think we need to try to manage those the best we can to avoid unnecessary friction if it’s possible. But no one is under any illusions. There are some fundamental challenges between our countries and between the West and China that will continue for the foreseeable future for a variety of reasons, and it’s some of the things we hope to work together with you on.

QUESTION: Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary. We’ve run out of time. I’m sorry that I can’t take questions from all those who wanted to ask questions. Mr. Secretary of State, thank you for this message of reassurance. I think this is much appreciated here in the hall. Let’s offer a round of applause. (Applause.)

February 14, 2026 - Hillary Clinton gets into testy exchange with Czech Deputy PM while he was slamming ‘woke revolution’

Czech Deputy Prime Minister Petr Macinka told Hillary Clinton that the “woke revolution” pushed American voters toward President Donald Trump, then watched as the former secretary of state grew visibly agitated by his critique.

The confrontation broke out Saturday at the Munich Security Conference during a panel titled, “The West-West Divide: What Remains of Common Values,” according to Fox News. Macinka argued that Trump’s political rise was a direct response to left-wing cultural overreach in the U.S.

“What Trump is doing in America, I think that it is a reaction. Reaction for some policies that really went too far, too far from the regular people,” Macinka said.

Clinton demanded examples. Macinka obliged.

“We saw the cancel culture. We saw the woke revolution. I don’t agree with the gender revolution, the climate alarmism,” he said in a video posted on X.

February 16, 2026 - Hillary Clinton claims she couldn't recall ever meeting Epstein and Bill took some rides on his airplane for charitable work

(…) During an interview with the Trump-hating British Broadcasting Corporation, Clinton claimed that she and Bill Clinton have “no links” to Epstein. “We have a very clear record that we’ve been willing to talk about, which my husband has said, he took some rides on the airplane for his charitable work,” Clinton said.

She continued, “I don’t recall ever meeting him,” though she did admit to meeting Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

She then accused the GOP of treating the Clintons unfairly after they refused to testify before the House Oversight Committee, leading to an attempt to hold the two in contempt of Congress before the Clintons finally agreed to sit for interviews.

“Why did they want to pull us into this? To divert attention from President Trump. This is not complicated,” she told the BBC’s Jess Parker.

Clinton further attacked Trump and his allies over the Epstein Files on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference, saying the information revealed was “troubling” and “really horrific,” while omitting the fact that Bill Clinton frequently spent time with Epstein and young girls.

“I watched her in Munich, and she seriously has Trump Derangement Syndrome,” Trump said when responding to her comments on Monday evening.

February 18, 2026 - Fulton County officials attempted to backdate legal documents and violated the Open Meetings Act to launch a federal lawsuit

Here it is:

The Georgia Election Board officially confirms INTENTIONAL HUMAN INTERVENTION—the predicate for a CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY.

Simply put: it was scanned twice, it was counted twice—intentionally, maliciously, and deliberately.

• 17,852 votes counted with no ballot images
• 20,713 original votes from tabulators out of thin air
• 3,930 duplicates counted and inserted into the CERTIFIED count via a criminal conspiracy,

How was this done?

Joseph Rossi: “Ballots were scanned on one day, and then they were randomly picked these batches of ballots and created a new batches and scanned a second day on a different tabulator.”

“We now know with certainty that this duplication of ballots was not a mere administrative error, rather the duplication process was due to INTENTIONAL HUMAN INTERVENTION. THE PREDICATE FOR ELECTION FRAUD.”

In other words: ‘Arctic Frost’— was designed to coverup their own crimes during the 2020 election.

February 19, 2026 - Andrew arrested on birthday for misconduct in public office; Epstein fallout continues

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has today been arrested on his 66th birthday and is in custody after a raid on his new Sandringham home.

Thames Valley Police held the eighth in line to the British throne on suspicion of misconduct in public office this morning.

The Daily Mail was the first to reveal plain-clothes police, carried in six unmarked vehicles, had arrived at Wood Farm, where Andrew now lives, at 8am this morning.

A convoy including at least two royal Land Rovers linked to Andrew was photographed leaving the estate less than an hour later. His arrest was confirmed at 10.08am.

For the past ten days, detectives have been probing his conduct as a trade envoy for the UK after emails in the Epstein Files suggested he shared confidential information with his paedophile friend, including reports of his official visits and potential investment opportunities.

A Thames Valley spokesman said today: ‘We have today arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office’.

The force said its officers are searching an address in Norfolk – believed to be Wood Farm, where Andrew is exiled – and an address in Berkshire, likely to be Royal Lodge in Windsor, where he lived for more than 20 years until this month.

‘The man remains in police custody at this time’, the spokesman said – but the force would not confirm where Andrew, who is celebrating his birthday today, had been taken.

Norfolk Police said it is ‘supporting’ the Thames Valley investigation but did not say if one of its stations was being used by detectives to interview Andrew.

Thames Valley Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said: ‘Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office.

‘It is important that we protect the integrity and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our partners to investigate this alleged offence.

‘We understand the significant public interest in this case, and we will provide updates at the appropriate time.’

February 19, 2026 - New evidence shows Maurene Comey ordered New Mexico officials to shut down investigation into Epstein’s Zorro Ranch

Maurene Comey, the daughter of disgraced former FBI Director James Comey Ordered New Mexico Officials to Shut Down Investigation Into Epstein’s Zorro Ranch In 2019.

New evidence has emerged showing that federal prosecutors ordered New Mexico investigators to shut down their probe into Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico ranch in 2019.

The discovery is raising new questions about how the federal government handled key aspects of the Epstein investigation.

The order came from then-Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey, the daughter of disgraced former FBI Director James Comey. – David Harris Jr.

(…) Former New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas launched an investigation but was asked to halt it in July 2019 by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Maureen Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey.

According to a Sept. 8, 2019, redacted email, her office said it “spoke with the New Mexico AG’s office back in July 2019. In essence, they agreed to cease any investigation into sex trafficking and share whatever they had gathered to date regarding sex trafficking activity with our office. We agreed that they were free. To proceed with whatever other investigations unrelated to sex trafficking they may have concerning Epstein and told them that at the conclusion of our case, we would pass along any information we may have gathered about the state crimes that were committed in their jurisdiction.”

In a letter to Comey obtained by The Center Square, Balderas provided documents of “police reports, recorded witness interviews, correspondence amongst New Mexico State agencies, and documents related to Epstein’s leasing of New Mexico public lands.” The Trump administration redacted Comey’s name even though it was public knowledge that she was the US attorney at the time. Her office said it was interviewing Epstein victims based on the information Balderas provided, according to an Oct. 11, 2019, email. In 2020, Balderas was still providing information. No charges were brought; no search warrants were issued to search Zorro ranch. (Read more: The Center Square, 2/19/2026)

February 20, 2026 - CIA retracts 19 intel reports exposing political bias in Obama-Biden spy agencies

QUIET NEWS.
The DEI era masquerading as Intelligence Is OVER.

For over a decade, the CIA blazed through taxpayer dollars while national security emphasis was on Democrats woke bias versus real threats.

Under Dir. John Ratcliffe’s leadership, the CIA just retracted or gutted 19 bogus intelligence reports loaded with systemic leftist bias.

The reports were deliberate radical activist inserts, slipped into our intel pipeline.

Here’s a peek at the three declassified (redacted versions out for all to see):
👉Frenzy over LGBT activists in the Middle East as some grand strategic crisis
👉Smearing traditional family values and “white violent extremism” (code for painting conservative men/women/mothers/fathers as radicals)
👉Linking COVID-era contraception shortages in poor countries to global planet and economic doom

The DEI poison spanned Obama, Trump 1.0, and Joe years, proving the fat cat bureaucratic rot was deeply rooted and systemic.

The same crew that pushed the Russia-Russia hoax and ignored real enemies like China now gets exposed for turning spy work into social justice pamphlets.

Ratcliffe isn’t playing: “There is absolutely no room for bias in our work.”

The President’s Intelligence Advisory Board reviewed hundreds, flagged these 19 for failing basic impartiality and tradecraft. 17 fully yanked, 2 heavily revised. Analyst training is being overhauled.

Sen. Tom Cotton was spot-on: ‘We’ve missed real dangers while bureaucrats obsessed over “pandemic contraceptive shortfalls.”
Those days are over.
The swamp’s favorite politicized “intelligence”—just got defanged. Transparency. Objectivity. America First priorities are being restored. 🇺🇸

Story By Todd Cefaratti @TrumpDailyPosts 2.21.26

Trump just exposed massive bias in the Obama-Biden spy agencies. President Donald J. Trump shared a bombshell link on Truth Social, pointing straight to a Just the News article that lays bare how the CIA has finally started cleaning house. In a historic move, the agency under Director John Ratcliffe retracted or revised nineteen intelligence reports from the Obama, Trump, and Biden years, admitting they were riddled with political bias and fell short of basic standards for impartiality. This isn’t some minor tweak; it’s a long-overdue admission that spy agencies got weaponized against Regular Americans during those administrations.

The reports pulled focused on hot-button cultural stuff far removed from real national security threats. We’re talking assessments pushing DEI nonsense, like one claiming white women in traditional motherhood roles were getting radicalized into racially motivated violent extremism. Another warned about contraceptive shortfalls during the pandemic in a pro-abortion tone, citing Planned Parenthood and Guttmacher Institute multiple times. There was even one on LGBT activists facing pressure in the Middle East, sourced from sketchy outlets. Seventeen of these got permanently deleted from use, and two were fixed and re-released. Three examples were declassified and made public to show just how bad it got.

A senior CIA official didn’t mince words: these products had “inappropriate insertion of DEI issues and other distractions” that undercut objective analysis. Under prior administrations, the agency let politics creep in, turning intelligence work into something that sounded more like activist talking points than hard facts. Director Ratcliffe made it clear there’s no room for bias in CIA work, and when they spot failures in analytic rigor, they fix the record. This comes after last year’s lessons-learned review slammed how the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian election interference included the debunked Steele Dossier, despite internal objections. Former Director John Brennan pushed for narrative consistency over solid tradecraft, and it hurt credibility big time.

Regular Americans have known this rot existed for years. The Trump-Russia collusion hoax was shoved down our throats by these same agencies, with the Steele Dossier treated like gospel even though it was opposition research garbage. Then came the targeting of parents protesting school boards; Attorney General Merrick Garland’s 2021 memo weaponized the FBI against concerned moms and dads, labeling them potential domestic threats after a National School Boards Association letter equated peaceful rallies to terrorism. That memo got rescinded in 2025 under the new AG Pam Bondi, but the damage was done. Whistleblowers and congressional probes showed how counterterrorism tools got twisted for political ends.

Don’t forget the anti-Catholic bias. In 2023, the FBI’s Richmond office put out a memo linking “radical-traditionalist Catholic” ideology to violent extremism, citing left-wing sources like the Southern Poverty Law Center. It got pulled after backlash, but Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley later revealed it spread to over a thousand FBI employees, with more documents using similar smears. Former Director Christopher Wray claimed it was just one rogue product, but the evidence says otherwise. These weren’t isolated slips; they were patterns of elite sabotage against faith, family, and free speech.

Trump’s post highlights this because he fought these deep state games from day one. During his first term, he called out the weaponization, and now in 2026, with loyal leaders like Ratcliffe at CIA and others cleaning up, we’re seeing real accountability. The retractions prove what Regular Americans suspected: Obama-Biden era spy agencies prioritized politics over protecting the country. They inserted woke distractions into foreign intelligence, ignored tradecraft, and targeted everyday citizens who dared question school policies or hold traditional values.

This cleanup is a huge win. It restores trust in the intelligence community by admitting past failures and removing tainted products. No more using CIA resources to push abortion agendas or smear Catholics and parents. Instead, focus returns to actual threats like foreign adversaries. Ratcliffe’s statement nails it: these old reports don’t reflect the expertise of today’s analysts, and bias has no place. Regular Americans can breathe easier knowing the agency is finally enforcing standards.

Critics from the left, like Senate Intel Vice Chair Mark Warner, whine that this is politicization by Trump’s appointees. They claim it’s sidelining career experts. But the facts show the opposite: the retractions correct real deviations from objectivity. Former officials might defend the old reports as just reflecting past priorities, but that’s code for saying bias was baked in under Democrats. Trump never let that slide, and his influence now forces the fix.

Think about the bigger picture. For years, the media and Democrats painted Trump as the threat to institutions, but look who’s been caught politicizing the spies. The Russia hoax wasted millions and divided the nation. Targeting parents chilled free speech at school board meetings. Smearing Catholics as extremists alienated millions of faithful voters. All while real dangers like border security or China got downplayed. Trump’s sharing this article reminds everyone: he promised to drain the swamp, and he’s delivering.

In February 2026, with midterms on the horizon and America First policies rolling, this retraction boosts momentum. It shows strength in leadership, courage to admit and correct wrongs, even if they happened before. Regular Americans who supported Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024 see vindication. The deep state isn’t invincible; truth wins when bold leaders act.

This moment matters because it protects our freedoms. No more intelligence reports twisted to advance leftist causes. The CIA refocuses on keeping America safe from real enemies, not imaginary ones invented to score political points. Trump spotlighting this proves he’s still fighting for us every day.

Regular Americans should celebrate this exposure. It shines light on the rot and starts the healing. Support leaders who demand integrity. Demand accountability from all agencies. With Trump leading the charge, we can make intelligence objective again and put America first where it belongs.
