March 18, 2025 - Elon Musk tells Ted Cruz there are 14 'magic money' computers, mostly at Treasury, that send $trillions in payments out of nothing

Elon Musk just pulled back the curtain on what’s really fueling government waste and fraud. Speaking with Senator Ted Cruz, he revealed there are at least 14 “magic money computers” that can “send money out of nothing,” meaning these government systems are issuing trillions in payments with little oversight or real-time accountability.

Musk explained that these computers don’t operate in a way where they “talk to each other.” Instead, Musk explained they function in a way that allows money to move through government agencies unchecked, sometimes in ways that don’t align with official records.

The numbers lawmakers see aren’t always accurate, with government books potentially off by 5% to 10%. That could mean up to hundreds of billions in taxpayer dollars are misallocated or disappearing, while the actual financial activity remains hidden deep inside these systems.

“So you may think that the government computers all talk to each other. They synchronize, they add up what funds are going somewhere, and it’s coherent that the numbers, for example, that you’re presented as a senator are actually the real numbers. They’re not,” Musk explained.

“They’re not totally wrong,” he continued. “They’re probably off by 5% or 10% in some cases. So I call it Magic Money Computer. Any computer which can just make money out of thin air. That’s Magic Money.”

“So how does that work?” Ted Cruz asked.

“It just issues payments,” Musk answered. “I think we found now 14 magic money computers. They just send money out of nothing.”

Heritage Foundation exposes Hillary Clinton was directly behind getting the European Union to use their Digital Services Act to pressure Elon Musk and America back into censorship

Hillary Clinton flew overseas for a meeting to facilitate this against America

“They (The European Union) gathered in Berlin, and it was the most anti-free speech gathering I’ve ever been part of — Hillary Clinton was there, and she really fueled the anger.

When Twitter was purchased by Elon Musk, she called on the EU to use the infamous Digital Services Act, which is one of the most anti-free speech pieces of legislation in decades. And she called upon the EU to use the DSA (Digital Services Act) to force the censorship of American citizens, force people like Musk to censor.

It’s an extraordinary act by someone who was once a presidential candidate”

March 18, 2025 - Judge Boasberg has a conflict of interest...his daughter works for NGO that defends criminal illegal aliens

Chief Judge Boasberg Blocked the deportation of Tren de Aragua gang member’s without disclosing the fact that his daughter works for a 501c3 called “Partners For Justice” that gives criminal illegal aliens and gang members legal advice.

I have exclusively uncovered a massive CONFLICT OF INTEREST involving Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Judge Boasberg recently made the decision to prevent the deportation of criminal illegal alien gang members on planes out of the country.

‼️CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXPOSED‼️

The Judge has a daughter named Katherine Boasberg, who works for a 501(c)(3) organization called Partners for Justice @PFJ_USA as a “capacity building associate”. In her position, she helps coordinate and administer grant activities, ensuring compliance, and supporting the delivery of capacity-building programs to strengthen nonprofit infrastructure.

Katherine Boasberg also has pronouns in her bio. She goes by SHE/HER, proving her affiliation with the Left.

The Judge’s daughter focuses on criminal defense and advocacy as an employee of Partners For Justice.

Partners for Justice is an organization that derives 76% of its funding from GOVERNMENT GRANTS!

From the Partners For Justice website:

“Our Impact:

“Supporting those in need, transforming the system. Partners for Justice is transforming public defenders into a robust network of dynamic, people-centered service centers to reduce incarceration, increase equity, and positively impact the lives of those harmed by cycles of incarceration, poor health, and poverty. Since 2018 they have connected thousands of people with stabilizing services and eliminated an estimated 5,000 years of jail and prison time, compared to maximum exposure.”

Partners for Justice strongly opposes mass deportations and legislation targeting members of criminal gangs, and has been a vocal critic of the Laken Riley Act.

In a screenshot below, Emily Galvin-Almanza @GalvinAlmanza, the founder of “Partners for Justice” tweeted an article about Judge Boasberg blocking @realDonaldTrump’s deportations of Venezuelan gang bangers. She employs the Judge’s daughter.

Such a close familial relationship brings into question how the judge may render decisions and how his decisions may impact the professional career of his daughter, who’s employment is based upon defending criminal illegal aliens, gang members, and opposing mass deportations.

It seems that Judge Boasberg has a clear conflict of interest & is obligated to recuse himself from this case, as outlined in the Code of Conduct for United States Judges, which specifies the circumstances under which a judge must disqualify themselves from a proceeding.

(Credit: Laura Loomer)

The disqualification clause states the following:

“A judge shall disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the judge’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including but not limited to instances in which:

The judge or the judge’s spouse, or a person related to either within the third degree of relationship, or the spouse of such a person is:

Known by the judge to have an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding.”

The mass deportation of criminal illegal aliens and gang members could lead to a substantial reduction in urban crime rates, potentially decreasing the caseload for Partners for Justice, while also reducing gang-related incidents that may, in turn, diminish funding opportunities for Partners For Justice from U.S. government grants and private foundations.

Judge Boasberg MUST RECUSE HIMSELF!

Given his daughter’s employment at a group that advocates for criminal illegal Aliens & is funded by US Government grants, Judge Boasberg should not be granted any sensitive information about deportation flights. His family is a national security threat.

March 18, 2024 - India raids Soros-backed offices linked to the Open Society Foundations

Soros Riots (Credit: Gateway Pundit)

The Indian government raided George Soros-backed offices in Bengaluru on Tuesday.

The Enforcement Directorate raided eight Soros-backed offices linked to the Open Society Foundations (OSF), an organization backed by US billionaire George Soros, along with some linked entities in Bengaluru.

This action stems from allegations of violations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), highlighting the government’s commitment to curbing foreign interference in domestic affairs.

The Deccan Herald has more:

The central agency raided the premises linked to Rootbridge Services Pvt Ltd in Ashoknagar, ASAR Social Advisor Pvt Ltd in Malleswaram, and a third unnamed company, a well-placed source in the ED has confirmed.

According to the source, the raids came after OSF transferred Rs 25 crore to the companies in “suspicious” transactions in the past few months. Former employees of Amnesty India chair the board of directors of these companies, the source added…

Investigations revealed that between 2020-21 and 2023-24, approximately ₹25 crore was funneled from Soros’ organizations to various Indian NGOs through complex financial arrangements.

…In the past, OSF would send funds to its India beneficiaries having licences under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA). However, in 2016, the ministry placed OSF under the PRC within the FCRA. The act specifies that any company placed un…

March 18, 2025 - Chuck Schumer tells taxpayers they’re greedy for wanting to keep the money they earn

March 19, 2025 - Natalie Winters lays into Russian dossier author, Christopher Steele

Natalie Winters lays into Christopher Steele on Piers Morgan Uncensored, 3/19/2025)

(…) Winters appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored in an episode broadcast on Wednesday with former MI6 operative Christopher Steele, the man responsible for manufacturing the dirty Russia dossier paid for by Crooked Hillary Clinton and starting the Russiagate hoax.

He filled the 35-page dossier filed with garbage lies such as Trump having ‘golden showers’ with Russian prostitutes to libel Trump as a Russian asset.

Steele later admitted he leaked the libelous dossier to help Hillary. A UK court also confirmed he lied about Trump.

However, this did not stop Steele from showing up to spread more garbage against Trump. After listening to Winters’ incredible tour de force, he likely regretted his decision.

The fiery young conservative warrior spoke for all Trump fans when she explained in no uncertain terms why Steele was the ultimate grifter while calling out all of his smears against Trump directly to his face.

WINTERS: I know Christopher Steele wanted to go down in history as someone who colluded with the Clinton campaign to take down President Donald J. Trump. But I think that you represent the ultimate grifter in the American political space.

For you to even come on here…To sit here nearly a decade after you tried to smear President Trump as a Russian asset to then say, ‘Well, I think he’s a Russian asset, but even though I’m really good at my job and create all of my intelligence reports, it’s just sort of a feeling that I have.

I’m sorry; what stones do you have even left to turn over to try to corroborate your claim that Trump is a Russian asset? You weaponized FISA Courts, surveillance, warrants, international spy agencies, the entire DNC apparatus…The American people would really appreciate it if you stopped injecting your efforts to totally tank the America First movement by smearing anyone who doesn’t want to get involved in forever wars and continue the needless dying in Ukraine and in Russia just so you can sit from your perch and defend the globalist world order.

And you know what? You think you’re so good at gathering intelligence? Last time I checked, it was the 51 intel agents that Hunter Biden’s hard drive (who lied and said it was a hoax), which I reported on firsthand…it’s legitimate.

You want to talk about the President’s sons who are involved in businesses in foreign countries? Well, I would like to introduce you to Hunter Biden. When those 51 people, who I’m sure you know all too well, said that (the laptop) was Russian disinformation. Well, it turned out that was true, and shame on you for the last decade trying to inject the idea that smearing President Trump as a Russian agent or a Russian asset is going to tank the MAGA movement. It’s about putting America first!

And the fact that you can still sit here and the fact that you have no actual evidence besides one random Russian meeting, you’re a complete political hack and grifter, and I wish the American political scene didn’t have your voice in it.

March 19, 2025 - A Donald Trump quote from the past: “Get even with people. If they screw you, screw them back ten times as hard. I really believe that.”

Just in case you thought Trump was going to forget about everything they did to him, let me show you some examples of what he has said over the years. We all know Trump is a man of his word – and his enemies know it too. “Get even with people. If they screw you, screw them back ten times as hard. I really believe that.” – Donald J. Trump

March 19, 2025 - An outspoken anti-Trump FBI agent is arrested and charged for unauthorized disclosure of internal classified documents

Anti-Trump FBI agent Jonathan Buma (Credit: video clipping)

An anti-Trump FBI agent was arrested and charged for disclosing classified information.

Johnathan Buma allegedly disclosed internal classified documents and text messages to associates.

Court documents revealed that Johnathan Buma had printed 130 files from the FBI’s internal network, with many of the documents marked with warnings that the information is confidential.

Buma shared a draft of a book he was writing about his career in the FBI with colleagues, and it contained sensitive information, the charging documents said.

According to ABC News, the feds nabbed Johnathan Buma just as he was about to hop on an international flight on Monday.

ABC News reported:

An FBI agent who accused the bureau of political bias during President Donald Trump’s first administration was arrested Monday in New York on charges related to the alleged unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, according to court documents filed Tuesday.

Johnathan Buma, a 15-year veteran of the bureau, allegedly shared text messages, internal documents and other classified information with associates, including as part of a prospective book he began writing about his career as an FBI agent.

Beginning in Oct. 2023, Buma “printed approximately 130 files from the FBI’s internal network … some of which were clearly marked with warnings that made clear that the information was to be protected,” according to charging documents.

“Buma also printed nine text-file documents which contained text that had been copied and pasted from reports that were marked in such a way that made clear that the information must be protected,” the charging documents said..

In the ensuing weeks, Buma allegedly shared a draft of a book he had written about his career at the FBI with “associates” over email. The draft allegedly included details about “the FBI’s investigations into a foreign country’s weapons of mass destruction (‘WMDs’) program,” the charging document alleges.

Last year Johnathan Buma told Business Insider that political bias under Trump’s first administration pushed him to become a ‘whistleblower.’

March 20, 2025 - New York AG Letitia James previous building permits and a mortgage application with her father, raise serious questions

A Tale of Two Standards

New York Attorney General Letitia James has made a name for herself prosecuting landlords and real estate fraudsters. Yet our investigation reveals troubling discrepancies in her own property filings—irregularities that would likely result in stiff penalties for most New Yorkers.

Documents from the NYC Department of Buildings show a pattern of inconsistencies about a Brooklyn property James owns—inconsistencies that mysteriously received special treatment when reported.

Note: Links to NYC Department of Buildings records may load slowly due to system capacity limitations. Please be patient as they connect to the city’s database.

At the heart of the issue is a contradiction between what the city officially permits and what James’ filings claim.

The Certificate of Occupancy for 296 Lafayette Avenue in Brooklyn—issued January 26, 2001—clearly states the property is a five-family dwelling regulated under NYC housing laws. James purchased this property on February 14, 2001, just two weeks after this Certificate of Occupancy was issued. This official classification has been on the books for more than two decades.

Yet James repeatedly filed permit applications identifying the same property as a four-family dwelling—a classification subject to different regulatory requirements under New York City building codes. Under NYC building code classifications, her property with five units would be classified as C2 (which applies to buildings with 5+ units), while her filings list it as C3 (which applies to 3-4 unit buildings). This fundamental contradiction between the long-established Certificate of Occupancy and her permit applications raises serious questions about regulatory compliance.

Multiple Discrepant Filings Show Pattern, Not Mistake

This wasn’t a one-time error. We uncovered multiple DOB permit applications containing identical discrepancies:

  • July 2020 Application (Job #340743146): Documents show “Dwelling Units: Existing: 4” despite the Certificate of Occupancy listing five units for the past 19 years.
  • September 2020 Application (Job #340768510): Another filing repeats the same inconsistent information.

The permit application details are explicit, stating: “Total Number of Dwelling Units at Location: 4” for a property documented in the Certificate of Occupancy as a five-unit building since 2001.

This discrepancy goes far beyond a simple administrative error. As noted in my previous post, mortgage documents signed by Letitia James repeatedly characterize the property as a four-unit building—a critical representation that directly contradicts the official Certificate of Occupancy, which clearly designates the structure as a five-family dwelling. This inconsistency carries significant legal and financial implications, potentially allowing James to secure more favorable lending terms or avoid stricter regulatory requirements that apply to larger multi-unit properties.

The applications to the Department of Buildings were submitted through the city’s professional certification program, under which the architect affirmed:

“I HEREBY STATE THAT I HAVE EXERCISED A PROFESSIONAL STANDARD OF CARE IN CERTIFYING THAT THE FILED APPLICATION IS COMPLETE AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS… I FURTHER REALIZE THAT ANY MISREPRESENTATION OR FALSIFICATION OF FACTS MADE KNOWINGLY OR NEGLIGENTLY BY ME, MY AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES, OR BY OTHERS WITH MY KNOWLEDGE, WILL RENDER ME LIABLE FOR LEGAL AND DISCIPLINARY ACTION…”

This sworn certification underscores the seriousness of the discrepancy. It was not merely a clerical oversight, but a representation made within a process where legal and professional accountability is explicitly defined—yet seemingly unenforced in this case. (Read more: White Collar Fraud, 3/21/2025)  (Archive)

(…) There seems to be a pattern of possible mortgage fraud in regard to Letitia James. New questions have now arisen about a home Letitia James purchased with her father, Robert James.

In the Spring of 1983, Letitia James was 24 and living in Brooklyn with her parents. She had graduated from CUNY’s Lehman College in 1981. She would not begin law school at Howard University in Washington, DC, until the fall of 1984.

According to New York City Department of Finance records, on May 20, 1983, Letitia James and her father, Robert James, took out a real estate loan from Kadilac Funding Ltd. for $30,300 as “husband and wife.” For the record, Letitia James’ mother is Nellie James.

 

The husband-and-wife designation is clear and in capital letters on the very top of the first page of the loan document and on the signature page, which reads “ROBERT JAMES AND LETITIA JAMES, HIS WIFE.”

This loan was used to purchase a small 888-square-foot two-story home at 114-04 Inwood Street in Queens, New York, likely for Letitia to live in.

Meanwhile, the deed for the property, executed on the same day, has a different designation. On the top, it says the property is being purchased by “ROBERT JAMES AND LETITIA JAMES, his daughter.”

At the age of 24, Letitia James may have had trouble qualifying for a home loan as a single woman with little or no income.

The question for Ms. James is whether she and her father defrauded the mortgage company, Kadilac Funding, by pretending to be husband and wife in order to qualify for the loan.

(…) In February 2024, James led a high-profile fraud case against Donald Trump. In her relentless pursuit of Trump, James has denied herself any easy excuses. She offered Trump no benefit of the doubt and disregarded the lack of an injured party.

Playing hardball, James secured a massive a judgment that found Trump and his company guilty of inflating asset values to secure better financial terms.

March 19, 2025 - Highlights of the Democrat attacks on Tesla and Elon Musk

The question of whether blue states are harmed by attacks on Tesla involves several layers—economic, social, and political—since Tesla is a major employer and economic player, particularly in states like California, which lean heavily Democratic (“blue”). Attacks on Tesla refer here to the wave of vandalism, arson, and protests targeting Tesla facilities, vehicles, and infrastructure, as reported widely in early 2025, often linked to Elon Musk’s political role under President Trump.

Economically, blue states like California could face harm if Tesla’s operations are disrupted. Tesla employs 47,000 people directly in California alone (as of 2022, per Tesla’s own reporting), with over 80,000 jobs supported indirectly through suppliers and related industries. The Fremont factory, a key production hub, and other facilities in Palo Alto, Lathrop, and Hawthorne anchor a significant chunk of the state’s clean energy sector. Vandalism—such as the March 18, 2025, arson attack in Las Vegas or repeated incidents in Oregon—doesn’t just damage property; it risks delaying production, raising costs, and deterring investment. If Tesla were to scale back in blue states due to hostility, job losses could hit hard, especially in areas where the company’s $1.6 billion in supplier spending (2021 figures) fuels local economies. California’s gross state product, which grew 16% from 2018-2021, saw Tesla’s contribution rise 42% in the same period, suggesting a disproportionate reliance on the company.

Socially, the attacks reflect and deepen polarization. Blue states, often champions of electric vehicles (EVs) and climate goals, have historically embraced Tesla. California’s EV incentives and market size made it Tesla’s biggest U.S. customer base. But Musk’s alignment with Trump and his leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has slashed federal jobs, has flipped sentiment. Protests like “Tesla Takedown” and violent acts—Molotov cocktails in Colorado, gunfire in Oregon—signal a backlash that could alienate Tesla owners and chill EV adoption in these states. Some owners now slap “I bought this before Elon went crazy” stickers on their cars, hinting at a cultural rift. If Tesla becomes a pariah, blue-state residents might pivot to competitors, though none match Tesla’s scale or infrastructure yet.

Politically, the harm is murkier. Blue-state leaders might quietly relish Musk’s woes, given his DOGE role and Trump ties, but they can’t ignore the economic fallout. Tesla’s stock has tanked nearly 48% in 2025 (per ABC News), and while that’s a national issue, blue states with high Tesla ownership—like California or Washington—feel the brand’s tarnish more acutely. Posts on X suggest Tesla drivers in blue areas face more vandalism than in red counties, though this is anecdotal. If attacks persist, blue-state governments might face pressure to crack down, clashing with their base’s anti-Musk fervor.

On the flip side, Tesla’s troubles might not “harm” blue states in a net sense if competitors fill the gap or if red states bear more of the burden. Red states like Texas, where Tesla’s HQ moved in 2021, could lose more if production shifts or stalls. Blue states aren’t uniquely targeted—attacks span Kansas City, Seattle, and Berlin too—but their denser Tesla presence amplifies the stakes.

So, are blue states harmed? Yes, economically and socially, through jobs, costs, and fractured EV culture, though the scale depends on how attacks escalate and whether Tesla retrenches. Politically, it’s a mixed bag—short-term schadenfreude versus long-term headaches. Data’s thin on exact losses so far, but the risk is real where Tesla’s footprint is deepest. (Grok AI, 3/19/2025)

March 21, 2025 - DOJ indicts former Rep. Cori Bush’s husband for COVID fraud

Cori Bush and her husband, Courtney Merritt (Credit: video clipping)

The Department of Justice indicted Courtney Merritts, the husband of former ‘Squad’ member Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), for allegedly committing COVID fraud while his wife served in Congress.

Merritts faces charges of wire fraud.

The DOJ alleges from July 2020 to April 2021, Merritts formulated and “participated in a scheme and artifice to obtain money and property in connection with applications for EIDL [Economic Injury Disaster Loans] and PPP [Paycheck Protection Program] funds.”

Merritts supposedly accepted $20,000 in payments:

According to the indictment, on July 7, 2020, Merritts received an $8,500 EIDL loan from the SBA for a moving business he operated that he called Vetted Couriers. In the application he submitted for Vetted Couriers, Merritts certified that his business had six employees and had generated $32,000 in gross revenue between January 30, 2019 and January 30, 2020.

On July 8, 2020, Merritts submitted another application to the SBA for an EIDL loan in the name of a sole proprietorship he called “Cortney Merritts.” In this EIDL application, Merritts fraudulently claimed to have a business that employed ten people and generated $53,000 in gross revenue between January 30, 2019 and January 30, 2020. In addition to an EIDL loan, Merritts also requested an EIDL advance of up to $10,000 based on his false claim that he had 10 employees. The SBA rejected Merritts’ attempt to obtain additional EIDL funds after determining that his July 2020 application was nearly identical to the prior one he submitted.

The indictment further alleges that on April 22, 2021, Merritts applied for a PPP loan in the name of a sole proprietorship he called “Cortney Merritts.” Merritts fraudulently claimed in this application that he had created this business in 2020 and that it had generated $128,000 in gross income that year. Based on Merritts’ representations about his gross income, Merritts received a $20,832 PPP loan. Merritts used the proceeds for his personal benefit and enjoyment. In July 2022, Merritts submitted a loan forgiveness application in which he falsely claimed that this business had 10 employees at the time of the PPP loan, and that he spent the $20,832 on payroll costs. Based on Merritts’ alleged fraudulent representations, the SBA forgave the PPP loan in the amount of $20,832 and the $254.03 in interest.

In January 2024, the DOJ started investigating Bush for allegedly misusing security funds.

March 22, 2025 - Trump promises to pardon former Hunter Biden business partner, Devon Archer

President Donald Trump promised to pardon ex-Hunter Biden business partner turned impeachment witness Devon Archer, who he said was targeted by the Biden family

The president pledged to pardon Archer during a meeting at the NCAA wrestling championships which was held in Philadelphia on Saturday night, the New York Post’s Miranda Devine reported. The meeting was said to have been arranged by fellow ex-Hunter Biden business partner and impeachment witness Tony Bobulinski.

“He’s getting a full pardon,” Trump told Devine on Sunday. “He was screwed by the Bidens. They destroyed him like they tried to destroy a lot of people.”

He continued, “A full pardon” and said Archer was an “anti-Biden person” because he exposed part of the corruption scandal by his testimony to the House Republican committees leading the impeachment probe into former President Joe Biden.

Devon Archer (l) and Jason Galanis (Credit: Burisma Holdings /Twitter)

Archer became one of the key witnesses in the impeachment inquiry into Hunter’s father, President Joe Biden, having been a close associate of the first son for years. In 2023, Archer testified to the House Oversight Committee that he witnessed Hunter Biden introduce his father, whether in person or over the phone to several foreign business partners, including a Russian oligarch, a Chinese fund manager, and Ukrainian energy company executives.

Archer was convicted of securities fraud and conspiracy to commit the same in 2018 in a Manhattan federal court as part of a tribal bonds scheme. Another defendant in the case, Jason Galanis would later tell the House Oversight Committee that the fraudulent scheme set up by him and Archer was for the purpose of raising money for a hedge fund with Hunter Biden, a firm that his father was set to join after his vice presidency.

However, the younger Biden escaped any scrutiny for his role in proximity to the scheme despite evidence collected by FBI and Security and Exchange Commission agents showing an affiliation with the Burnham entity at the center of the alleged fraud.

Archer’s conviction was originally thrown out by a district judge, who cited insufficient evidence. But, after the conviction was reinstated on appeal, Archer was sentenced to a year in prison in 2022. After appealing that decision, Archer was awarded a resentencing, which is scheduled for later this year. (Read more: Just the News, 3/24/2025)  (Archive)

March 23, 2025 - Obama and Hillary Clinton knowingly implemented foreign and domestic policies to aid and abet Islamic jihadists

The Obama administration and Hillary Clinton’s State Department deliberately and knowingly implemented a U.S. foreign policy to aid and abet Islamic jihadists — our enemies.

The policy in 2011 was to help the Muslim Brotherhood Islamic uprising come to power in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt.

Obama enacted the “great purge” in the U.S. government in 2011 and 2012, in which all official discourse, including presentations and training curricula, was purged of everything related to finding and identifying the global jihadist enemy we face.

That means: Department of State, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, the military, the Pentagon, and so on, including the intelligence community.

Because they either did not know, or were not allowed to know, anymore, who the enemy is — the global jihad movement and all who support jihad in the fight for Sharia, that is the enemy — because our officers were not permitted to speak of that, to know that, to pursue that, I think that had a lot to do with the policies in Benghazi specifically.

The day before the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, the head of Al Qaeda issued a video on jihadi websites and called for “sons of Libya” to rise up and kill Americans because the CIA had assassinated his deputy, a Libyan, some months before in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region, with a drone strike.

“That, I have always thought, was the green light to attack the next day.”

Warnings were ignored.

There was collusion at the White House level, from the very beginning, to disseminated a false narrative, to blame the attack on the compound at Benghazi, which was an Islamic jihad attack by Ansar al-Sharia, an Al-Qaeda affiliate, to blame that on a YouTube video.

(On June 29, 2016, the Citizens Commission on National Security held a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington to discuss the release of its new report on the events surrounding the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack on the Special Mission Compound and CIA Annex, resulting in the deaths of four Americans. The title of the CCNS report is Betrayal in Benghazi: A Dereliction of Duty. An overview was provided by Claire Lopez, a defense intelligence consultant and former career operations officer for the CIA. The CCNS report was published two days after the U.S. House Select Committee on Benghazi, chaired by Rep. Trey Gowdy, issued their official report.)

March 25, 2025 - Trump stands by Mike Waltz – attributes Signal App issue to Waltz staffer error

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump stood by his national security adviser, Mike Waltz, after The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief was accidentally added to a private, high-level chat on the messaging app Signal where military plans were being discussed.

“Michael Waltz has learned a lesson, and he’s a good man,” Trump said Tuesday in a phone interview with NBC News.

When asked what he was told about how Goldberg came to be added to the Signal chat, Trump said, “It was one of Michael’s people on the phone. A staffer had his number on there.”

Trump said Goldberg’s presence in the chat had “no impact at all” on the military operation.

The president expressed confidence in his team, saying he was not frustrated by the events leading up to The Atlantic’s story. The situation, Trump said, was “the only glitch in two months, and it turned out not to be a serious one.” (more)

The rest of the DC setup is transparently clear.  (1) Goldberg held the story until the day before a long-scheduled Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. (2) The SSCI then used the hearing to blast the heads of the Trump administration intelligence silos on the issue of “classified” information in the text messages.

♦ The next act in this well-known performance will be for Democrats to demand the release of the Signal App transcript, if it’s not classified, then there’s nothing to hide.

♦ Public pressure via narrative drum-pounding will continue to increase, until the chat messages are released to congress. [Keep in mind, Jeffrey Goldberg likely already has them.]

♦ Everyone in the chat group will then be told they must recuse themselves from internal silo determinations as to the classified status of the conversation.  More public pressure will be generated to achieve this “position of conflict” demand.

♦ The Intelligence Community, without the heads of the silos – likely leveraging the internal investigative agents of the FBI (INSD), will then say the content of the chat was indeed classified, TSCI level.   There will be weeks and months of leaks to the media as each granular detail is discussed ad infinitum.

♦ The cabinet members will then face the drumbeat of resignation demands, and/or useful impeachment fodder for ‘lying to congress’ during today’s Senate Select Committee on Intelligence testimony.

At least that should be the anticipated approach by the “Seven Ways from Sunday” group, who operate to defend the interests of the Intelligence Community from agency heads like those who were on the Signal App chat group.

March 25, 2025 - 33% of D.C. District judges are foreign born; 100% had no judicial experience before appointed

Judge Tanya Chutkan (Credit: public domain)

The United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the source of many of the cases interfering with President Donald Trump’s authority, has 15 judges, (Counting Chief Judge James Boasberg) and five of them were born outside the United States.

While country of origin doesn’t come up in most jobs, it is worth asking if judges with ties to foreign nations and cultures are the right ones to make decisions affecting the U.S. military or immigration.

The concept of foreign-born judges is a newer phenomenon in this district. In addition to the 15 main judges, the D.C. District has 10 older, senior judges who still occasionally hear cases in the district. This group, nominated as far back as Ronald Reagan the 1980s, were all born in the U.S.

But starting in 2014, former President Barack Obama appointed Judge Tanya Sue Chutkan, born in Kingston, Jamaica. She was in the U.S. by 1979, attending George Washington University. Before sitting on federal court, she had no experience as a judge. Chutkan is overseeing the legal challenge to DOGE’s work to slash excess government spending.

Obama also appointed Judge Amit P. Mehta to the D.C. court. Mehta also had no previous experience as a judge. Mehta was born in Patan, Gujarat, India. He and his parents came to the U.S. when he was a baby, age one. He was raised in Maryland. Mehta will oversee four January 6 civil cases that aim to blame Trump for injuries and squeeze money, court time, and political embarrassment out of him.

The other three foreign born judges were nominated by former President Joe Biden.

Judge Ana Cecilia Reyes was nominated in 2021, also with no prior experience as a judge. She was born in Montevideo, Uruguay and moved to Spain, and while still a child, moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where she grew up. She is the first openly LGBT Latina to be appointed to this court. Reyes presided over an objection to Trump’s executive order declaring “gender dysphoria” as “inconsistent” with the “high standards for troop readiness,” as The Federalist’s Shawn Fleetwood reported. Reyes blocked Trump’s order with a preliminary injunction.

The first Muslim and Arab American in the D.C. district court, Judge Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali was born and raised in Canada to Egyptian parents. According to his Questionnaire for Judicial Nominees, Ali was not required to register for the U.S. Selective Service. That is because he was not a citizen until 2019. He graduated from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada with a software engineering degree in 2008 and then attended Harvard Law School in the U.S., graduating with a law degree in 2011. He worked as a volunteer on Biden’s 2020 transition team and for a phone bank in support of Biden’s presidential campaign. He worked for some nonprofits but never served as a judge until Biden appointed him in 2024. Amir has written extensively and negatively about Trump’s so-called “Travel ban,” a 2017 Executive Order which restricted travel to the U.S. from seven predominantly Muslim countries for 90 days.

In his writing, he said, “prejudice and intolerance” were “the very hallmark of [Trump’s] campaign against Muslims.”

Before he was a judge, Ali spoke at the National Press Foundation and gave tips to reporters about how to cover the courts.

When confirmed, Amir was a member of the Capital Area Muslim Bar Association; Muslim American Judicial Advisory Council; National Arab American Bar Association; National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers; National Police Accountability Project; and the Native American Bar Association of D.C., among others.

Ali single handedly restored $2 billion in USAID spending to foreign nonprofit contractors that the Trump Administration had paused for 90 days, in a stunning overreach of authority last month.

The newest judge on the D.C. District Court is also foreign born.

Before slinking out of office, Biden and his handlers got Judge Sparkle Sooknanan confirmed. She was sworn in Jan. 2, 2025. Born in the dual-island nation Trinidad and Tobago in 1983, she left her home country at age 16 to pursue college and graduated from Brooklyn Law School in 2010.

She was a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and during the Biden Administration she was the principal deputy assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division for the Department of Justice before Biden tapped her for her first ever judge gig in the D.C. Court, according to her Questionnaire for Judicial Nominees. (Read more: The Federalist, 3/25/2025)  (Archive)
