May 4, 2025 - ‘60 Minutes’ hosts Marc Elias, infamous for the Clinton dossier, to compare Trump to a ‘mob boss’ in one-sided segment

“60 Minutes” ran a highly partisan segment likening President Trump to a cold-blooded mob boss Sunday — even as its corporate parent, Paramount Global, is currently in talks to settle a $20 billion lawsuit with the Trump administration over election interference.

Correspondent Scott Pelley — who recently accused his bosses at Paramount of restricting journalistic independence in an astonishing on-air rant — compared the executive orders the president has enacted against multiple law firms to how a “mob boss” would use intimidation tactics.

“The fact is that these law firms are being told, ‘If you don’t play ball with us, maybe somethin’ really bad will happen to you,’” he said during Sunday night’s episode.

Pelley also sat down with Marc Elias, a longtime rival of Trump and a former Perkins Coie partner hired by the Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign, in the one-sided segment.

“Donald Trump is the walking embodiment of everything that is wrong with the American political system,” said Elias, who first crossed paths with Trump while a part of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

“And so when Donald Trump says that I am unethical or that I am undermining his vision of America, I say, ‘Boy I must be doin’ something right.’”

Sunday’s scathing “60 Minutes” segment comes as Paramount Global is in talks to settle its high-stakes lawsuit with the president. (Read more: New York Post, 5/5/2025)  (Archive)

May 4, 2025 - Democrats loved deportation - A brief deportation history lesson

It wasn’t very long ago when the leaders of the Democrat Party were all in favor of mass deportations. From Bill Clinton to Barack Obama and just about every Democrat in between, they were saying the same things that the Trump Administration is saying today. This message from a Gen-Z influencer is the right message for the right time. She can reach some of the younger generation in ways that old folks like me simply cannot.

May 5, 2025 - Trump signs Executive Order to stop federal funding for gain-of-function/bioweapon virus research

Earlier today President Trump signed an executive order blocking the U.S. development of “gain of function” research, the manipulation of biological agents to weaponize their lethality. [Executive Order Here]

As Health and Human Service Secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr noted in his remarks, the modern U.S. development of the bioweapons program was an outcome of a little-known subset within the Patriot Act that allowed scientists to develop bioweapons without legal accountability for any negative outcome.  Let us not pretend….

In 2014 a U.S. developed bioweapon escaped a lab and in response President Obama stopped the program.  However, the stoppage only blocked development of the bioweapons on U.S. soil.  The various government agencies then continued the “gain of function” bioweapon development by offshoring the experiments and conducting the research in foreign countries.  The SARS-CoV-2 weapon, COVID-19, was developed in one of those labs in Wuhan, China, and escaped creating the pandemic of 2020.  WATCH:

EXECUTIVE ORDER – Section 1. Purpose. Dangerous gain-of-function research on biological agents and pathogens has the potential to significantly endanger the lives of American citizens. If left unrestricted, its effects can include widespread mortality, an impaired public health system, disrupted American livelihoods, and diminished economic and national security.

The Biden Administration allowed dangerous gain-of-function research within the United States with insufficient levels of oversight. It also actively approved, through the National Institutes of Health, Federal life-science research funding in China and other countries where there is limited United States oversight or reasonable expectation of biosafety enforcement.

This recklessness, if unaddressed, may lead to the proliferation of research on pathogens (and potential pathogens) in settings without adequate safeguards, even after COVID-19 revealed the risk of such practices.

Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to ensure that United States federally funded research benefits American citizens without jeopardizing our Nation’s security, strength, or prosperity. My Administration will balance the prevention of catastrophic consequences with maintaining readiness against biological threats and driving global leadership in biotechnology, biological countermeasures, biosecurity, and health research.

Sec. 3. Stop Dangerous Gain-of-Function Research. (a) The Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA), and in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the heads of other relevant executive departments and agencies (agencies) identified by the Director of OSTP, shall establish guidance for the heads of relevant agencies, to the extent consistent with the terms and conditions of the funding, to immediately:
(i) end Federal funding of dangerous gain-of-function research conducted by foreign entities in countries of concern (e.g., China) pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6627(c), or in other countries where there is not adequate oversight to ensure that the countries are compliant with United States oversight standards and policies; and
(ii) end Federal funding of other life-science research that is occurring in countries of concern or foreign countries where there is not adequate oversight to ensure that the countries are compliant with United States oversight standards and policies and that could reasonably pose a threat to public health, public safety, and economic or national security, as determined by the heads of relevant agencies.
(b) The Director of OSTP, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the APNSA, and in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the heads of other relevant agencies, shall establish guidance for the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the heads of other relevant agencies with respect to suspension of federally funded dangerous gain-of-function research, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the relevant research funding, at least until the completion of the policy called for in section 4(a) of this order. Heads of agencies shall report any exception to a suspension to the Director of OSTP for review in consultation with the APNSA and the heads of relevant agencies.

Sec. 4. Secure Future Research Through Commonsense Frameworks. (a) Within 120 days of the date of this order, the Director of OSTP, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6627 and in coordination with the APNSA and the heads of relevant agencies, shall revise or replace the 2024 “United States Government Policy for Oversight of Dual Use Research of Concern and Pathogens with Enhanced Pandemic Potential” to:
(i) strengthen top-down independent oversight; increase accountability through enforcement, audits, and improved public transparency; and clearly define the scope of covered research while ensuring the United States remains the global leader in biotechnology, biological countermeasures, and health research;
(ii) incorporate enforcement mechanisms, including those described in section 7 of this order, into Federal funding agreements to ensure compliance with all Federal policies governing dangerous gain-of-function research; and
(iii) provide for review and revision at least every 4 years, or as appropriate.

(b) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Director of OSTP, in coordination with the APNSA and the heads of relevant agencies, shall revise or replace the 2024 “Framework for Nucleic Acid Synthesis Screening” (Framework) to ensure it takes a commonsense approach and effectively encourages providers of synthetic nucleic acid sequences to implement comprehensive, scalable, and verifiable synthetic nucleic acid procurement screening mechanisms to minimize the risk of misuse. The heads of all agencies that fund life-science research shall ensure that synthetic nucleic acid procurement is conducted through providers or manufacturers that adhere to the updated Framework. To ensure compliance, the updated Framework shall incorporate the enforcement mechanisms described in section 7 of this order. The Framework shall be reviewed and revised at least every 4 years, or as appropriate

Sec. 5. Manage Risks Associated with Non-federally Funded Research. Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Director of OSTP, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the APNSA, the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, and the heads of other relevant agencies, shall develop and implement a strategy to govern, limit, and track dangerous gain-of-function research across the United States that occurs without Federal funding and other life-science research that could cause significant societal consequences. This strategy shall include actions to achieve comprehensive, scalable, and verifiable nucleic acid synthesis screening in non-federally funded settings. Any gaps in authorities necessary to achieve the goals of this strategy shall be addressed in a legislative proposal to be sent to the President, through the Director of OSTP and the APNSA, within 180 days of the date of this order.

Sec. 6. Increase Accountability and Public Transparency of Dangerous Gain-of-Function Research. The Director of OSTP, in coordination with the APNSA and the heads of relevant agencies, shall ensure that the revised policy called for in section 4(a) of this order includes a mechanism whereby research institutions that receive Federal funding must report dangerous gain-of-function research, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, include research that is supported by non-Federal funding mechanisms. The reporting mechanism shall provide a publicly available source of information about research programs and awards identified pursuant to this section, including, where permitted by law, those that have been stopped or suspended pursuant to sections 3(a) and 3(b) of this order, and all future programs and awards that are covered by the updated policy developed in section 4(a) of this order. This reporting shall be conducted in a way that does not compromise national security or legitimate intellectual property interests of subject institutions.

Sec. 7. Future Enforcement Terms. The Secretary of Health and Human Services and the heads of other relevant agencies shall, consistent with existing laws and regulations, include in every life-science research contract or grant award:
(a) a term requiring the contractual counterparty or grant recipient to agree that its compliance in all respects with the terms of this order and any applicable regulations promulgated by the contracting or grant-offering agency is material to the Government’s payment decisions for purposes of 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4);
(b) a term requiring such counterparty or recipient to certify that it does not operate, participate in, or fund any dangerous gain-of-function research or other life-science research in foreign countries that could cause significant societal consequences or generate unnecessary national security risks, and that does not comply with this order and the policies ordered herein;
(c) a term stating that a violation of the terms of this order or any applicable regulations promulgated by the contracting or grant-offering agency by any grant recipient may be considered a violation of such term by the recipient’s employer or institution; and
(d) a term stating that any grant recipient, employer, or institution found to be in violation of the terms of this order or any applicable regulations promulgated by the contracting or grant-making agency may be subject to immediate revocation of ongoing Federal funding, and up to a 5-year period of ineligibility for Federal life-sciences grant funds offered by the Department of Health and Human Services and other relevant agencies.

Sec. 8. Definitions. For the purposes of this order,
“dangerous gain-of-function research” means scientific research on an infectious agent or toxin with the potential to cause disease by enhancing its pathogenicity or increasing its transmissibility. Covered research activities are those that could result in significant societal consequences and that seek or achieve one or more of the following outcomes:
(a) enhancing the harmful consequences of the agent or toxin;
(b) disrupting beneficial immunological response or the effectiveness of an immunization against the agent or toxin;
(c) conferring to the agent or toxin resistance to clinically or agriculturally useful prophylactic or therapeutic interventions against that agent or toxin or facilitating their ability to evade detection methodologies;
(d) increasing the stability, transmissibility, or the ability to disseminate the agent or toxin;
(e) altering the host range or tropism of the agent or toxin;
(f) enhancing the susceptibility of a human host population to the agent or toxin; or
(g) generating or reconstituting an eradicated or extinct agent or toxin.

May 5, 2025 - Grassley, Johnson target key dirty players in Mar-a-Lago raid

(Credit: Conservative Treehouse)

(…) Grassley and Johnson demanded the National Archives turn over all communications with the Biden White House, FBI and DOJ related to the Mar-a-Lago raid.

“Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) are calling on the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to release all government records demonstrating the Biden administration’s role in advancing investigations into then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. The senators are also opening an inquiry into NARA and its Inspector General’s role in those investigations,” the Senate Judiciary Committee announced on Monday.

The chairmen requested:

  • All records between or among Department of Justice (DOJ), FBI and Biden White House officials referring or relating to President Trump’s election interference case, that began as the Arctic Frost investigation and ultimately became part of Jack Smith’s elector case.
  • All records between or among DOJ, FBI and Biden White House officials referring or relating to the investigation into President Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified information.
  • All NARA records, including the NARA Office of Inspector General, referring or relating to the Arctic Frost and the classified document investigations.

Last month Grassley and Johnson released new records detailing the FBI and DOJ’s sweeping investigation that formed the basis of Jack Smith’s DC case against President Trump.

Grassley and Johnson previously blew the lid off another sham investigation orchestrated by Biden’s corrupt Department of Justice and compromised FBI.

According to the documents released last month, the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies through a probe dubbed “Arctic Frost.”

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

The FBI did not require a warrant to take possession of government phones from the Biden White House. However, after securing the devices, agents began preparing a search warrant to access their data, sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News.

The senators claim anti-Trump FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault violated FBI protocols—specifically the “No Self-Approval Rule”—to kickstart the investigation, which later turned into Special Counsel Jack Smith’s bogus lawfare case against Trump, relying on fabricated justifications, including the absurd claim that Trump and his associates had engaged in “fraudulent” activities related to the 2020 election.

May 6, 2025 - Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: “No more dudes in dresses”

May 6, 2025 - Treasury Secretary Bessent: Over 500 million payments made in 2024 were untraceable back to an appropriation

FULL HEARING – HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE 5/6/2025

May 7, 2025 - Peter Schweizer: Clinton Cash - A Decade of Impact (Video)

Ten years ago, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How Foreign Governments and Businesses Made Bill and Hillary Rich, was published. Its revelations launched an FBI investigation into Bill and Hillary Clinton’s family foundation. The book rocked official Washington, prompted widespread media coverage, including front-page write-ups in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post. Later reporting would confirm how much the book spooked the Clinton campaign team, which may have been why her campaign pursued the “Steele Dossier” attempt to tie their opponent, Donald Trump, to Russia.

The book even spawned a graphic novel–style treatment, a Fox News prime time special, and a documentary film.

To mark the book’s tenth anniversary, joining Peter Schweizer, the book’s author, and his co-host Eric Eggers on the most recent episode of The Drill Down is Steve Bannon, who was a co-founder of the Government Accountability Institute and now runs a daily show of his own called “The War Room.”

Back in 2015, Bannon was a big part of the book’s aggressive rollout strategy, which also included pre-publication sharing of some of its chapters with the New York Times, which then produced its own frontpage story on the sale of Uranium One to the Russians while Hillary was Secretary of State. Could that kind of media support for an investigative journalism book happen today?

“It was pretty amazing, the research that you and the team did to actually pull it all together,” Bannon says. “That’s why the book was so powerful.” He adds that since then, “the media ecosystem has changed.” He notes that the lesson the legacy media learned from the experience with Clinton Cash was not to report on stories that might in some way benefit Donald Trump, a tendency they would repeat in 2020 with the Hunter Biden laptop story, and again in 2024 with the lack of attention paid to Joe Biden’s deteriorating mental capacity.

On a recent podcast appearance, for example, former NBC host Chuck Todd loudly denied that the mainstream media missed the story of Joe Biden’s mental demise — calling it “right-wing-manufactured” spin. “I just refuse to accept this stupid premise because it’s a right-wing-manufactured, right-wing premise in order to stain the media,” Todd claimed.

Bannon believes the emerging new media needs to look past Todd’s brand of partisan boosterism. Clinton Cash and Schweizer’s later books, which were largely ignored by legacy media outlets, were nevertheless highly influential. “Our lesson is… If you do the work, people will find the story.”

May 7, 2025 - The Hidden Empire of Thom Tillis: Undisclosed Deeds and Rental Income

Thom and Susan Tillis (Credit: public domain)

This is a corrected and expanded version of an article originally published at 1:08 PM on May 7, 2025. It includes critical factual updates and new findings resulting from an ongoing investigation. I am being fully transparent about an error I made at the outset of the investigation, how that error occurred, and how correcting it led to the discovery of something even more significant..

Building a Real Estate Empire, One Undisclosed Deed at a Time

The initial confusion was driven by a seemingly impossible coincidence: Senator Thom R. Tillis has a brother—also named Thom R. Tillis That detail, obscured in legal and corporate filings, made it appear that the Senator himself had engaged in a self-dealing real estate transaction. I originally believed the Senator had acquired 5508 Enslow Place through an LLC via $0 quitclaim deed and later sold it for profit without reporting the transaction in mandatory senate financial disclosures.

That turned out to be incorrect. But rather than invalidate the story, correcting it uncovered something even more bizarre—and far more troubling.

Senator Thomas Roland Tillis, a senior Republican from North Carolina and sitting member of powerful Senate committees on Banking, Finance, and the Judiciary, is tied to a network of real estate transactions involving his family members, an array of limited liability companies, and a nonprofit corporation registered to a luxury residential address. The result is a financial and legal ecosystem that appears to be engineered for opacity and protected by bespoke legislation and corrupt government oversight.

This report presents evidence that raises serious questions about Tillis’s conduct and financial transparency with regard to:

  • Verifiable property records linking Tillis family entities to concealed or underreported assets
  • Multiple examples of $0 property transfers between corporate and family-controlled interests
  • Omitted financial disclosures in violation of the Ethics in Government Act
  • Potential misuse of nonprofit resources and commingled addresses with real estate operations

These findings are based on public records filed with the IRS, North Carolina’s Secretary of State, the Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds, and other official, government-controlled property databases. The documents cited here are verifiable and evidence of obfuscation speaks for itself.

Correcting the Initial Claim Unmasked a Bigger Problem at 5508 Enslow Place

The most confounding example in this investigation remains 5508 Enslow Place. Initially, I reported that Senator Tillis personally acquired and sold this property. That claim was incorrect — in 2008, Thom “Rick” Tillis and his wife Terry quitclaimed the property to their family-controlled LLC, TRT Holdings.

Five years later, in 2013, TRT Holdings sold the property to Theresa L. Baker, a woman from Connecticut who had recently relocated to North Carolina. The sale price was $55,000, and the transaction was executed via a warranty deed — suggesting a conventional, arms-length sale on paper.

It was after the sale where the deeply suspicious activity began. Baker died just three years later in 2016, and as of 2025, her name remains on the deed. The mortgage was quietly maintained for seven years after her death and only satisfied in 2023, with no recorded transfer of ownership or probate proceeding — a pattern that raises far more questions than the sale itself. Theresa Baker may not have known much about real estate law or deed classifications. From her point of view, she was buying a modest home for a good price from a real estate company. On paper, the use of a warranty deed suggested a conventional, protected transaction — but the circumstances that followed raise the possibility that she was merely a placeholder in a much broader scheme.

Baker died of cancer in 2016, just three years later. As of 2025, her name is still on the deed. The mortgage, originally taken out in her name, continued to be paid for seven years after her death, and was satisfied only recently — in 2023. No deed has been filed transferring ownership, no probate appears to have been opened, and no heirs have claimed the property.

These facts are not just strange. They point to the deliberate retention of a property in a dead woman’s name, while the home continues to be financially maintained and legally obscured. One possible explanation is that this was a planned placeholder title, allowing the true controllers of the property to remain invisible.

In April 2025, Senator Tillis co-sponsored S. 1334, a bill to raise the asset threshold for taxable Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) subsidiaries. This legislative development sharpens the strategic picture and introduces a new layer of possible intent, opening the door for the Tillis family to roll “parked” assets — like those once held by TRT Holdings — into a REIT structure with preferential tax treatment and reduced disclosure obligations. In that light, Theresa Baker wasn’t just a buyer — she may have been an unwitting participant in a larger scheme to keep assets off Tillis’s disclosure forms and IRS visibility until they could be sanitized, bundled, and monetized.

What Makes This Legally Abnormal?

    • • Quitclaim deeds are rarely used in arms-length transactions between unrelated parties—yet one was used here.
    • • Title remained in the deceased buyer’s name for nine years—anomalous under standard probate practice
    • • A mortgage remained active in her name for seven years after her death and was then quietly satisfied—without any transfer of title.
    • • The property was originally sold by TRT Holdings, a Tillis family-run LLC, which shared its address with a nonprofit founded by Susan Tillis
    • • TRT Holdings was dissolved just five weeks before Theresa Baker’s death, raising questions about whether this was done to avoid potential entanglements with her estate.

These factors raise serious red flags. While not direct evidence of criminal conduct, the structure and timing resemble common patterns used to conceal beneficial ownership and circumvent both tax and ethics disclosure requirements.

What I Can Prove — and What I Can’t

  • TRT Holdings sold the home to Theresa Baker.
  • Baker died in 2016.
  • No deed has ever transferred the property out of her name.
  • The mortgage was paid off in 2023.
  • The address used by TRT Holdings is the same as the registered address of the Susan M. Tillis Foundation.
  • TRT Holdings was voluntarily dissolved shortly before Baker’s death.

I cannot prove—yet:

  • Who occupied or used the house after Baker died.
  • Who paid the mortgage from 2016 to 2023.
  • Whether anyone connected to the Tillis family benefited from continued use of the home.

Whether the quitclaim deed structure was used intentionally to avoid liability or prepare the property for reacquisition after Baker’s death.

Each of these unanswered questions signals a highly abnormal transaction

Subpoena power may be necessary to determine the true beneficiaries of the mortgage payments and posthumous occupancy.

Why Bother? The Strategic Value of a Low-Profile Asset

While 5508 Enslow Place is not a luxury property, its treatment within this network suggests it serves a strategic purpose. Low-value homes are ideal for obscured control because they attract less scrutiny from journalists, tax assessors, and regulatory agencies. If this model was used repeatedly—as records suggest TRT Holdings controlled up to 30 properties—it may reflect a scalable scheme involving:

  • Quiet asset control without title exposure
  • Use of terminal buyers to temporarily shield true ownership
  • Potential refinancing or leveraging of appreciated equity posthumously
  • Maintenance of mortgages for properties that can continue generating use, rent, or long-term title reacquisition via quiet legal means

The extended mortgage payments after Baker’s death suggest a party with a long-game interest in the property. One plausible scenario is that the home was quietly re-controlled and leveraged over time while keeping it off ethics disclosures and tax rolls.

The nonprofit founded by Senator Tillis’s wife, the Susan M. Tillis Foundation, was registered to the exact same luxury residential address—16116 North Point Road—as TRT Holdings, the LLC that executed these questionable real estate transactions. This overlap raises difficult questions:

  • Why would a nonprofit be registered to a private residence instead of commercial office space?
  • Why register it to the same address as a real estate LLC engaging in unorthodox transfers and dissolutions?
  • Was this address functioning as a command center for coordinated personal, political, nonprofit, and business activity?

These are unanswered questions. But they are also red flags. The IRS requires separation of nonprofit and for-profit activity. While sharing an address is not illegal by itself, doing so in the context of opaque real estate deals and family-controlled nonprofits is at minimum a governance issue, and at worst a concealment tactic

Susan Tillis also appears in real estate records as the signatory on at least one deed involving another Tillis-linked property: a trailer park at 11826 Ramah Church Road. This suggests she played a direct role in facilitating real estate transfers between family-controlled entities, and further complicates any assertion that she was uninvolved.

A Curious 90 Days: Dissolution, Death, and a New Foundation

Between August and November 2016, three seemingly unrelated events occurred:

  • August 17, 2016 – TRT Holdings, LLC was voluntarily dissolved.
  • September 23, 2016 – Theresa Baker, purchaser of 5508 Enslow Place, died of cancer.
  • November 7, 2016 – The Susan M. Tillis Foundation was incorporated.

This 90-day period marks a critical pivot point. The entity that sold the property to a terminal buyer is shut down. The buyer dies. Then a federally tax-exempt nonprofit is launched—bearing the name of a sitting senator’s wife and sharing infrastructure with the now-defunct real estate operation.

This sequence doesn’t suggest coincidence. It suggests strategic reorganization

  • Shut down the entity that carried legal and reputational risk.
  • Wait out the buyer’s death and preserve the deed in her name.
  • Launch a nonprofit that can offer cover for real estate-related expenses, activity, or new structuring efforts.

The nonprofit may have been intended to serve as a public-facing shield for a system that was previously private and exposed.

The timing strongly implies that Susan Tillis’s role was not incidental — but integrated into the broader Tillis family real estate framework.

Final Thought: Who Paid the Dead Woman’s Mortgage?

One question looms above all others:

Who was paying Theresa Baker’s mortgage for seven years after she died — and why?

That isn’t a procedural hiccup. That’s a deliberate action. Someone had access to her account or estate, continued to make regular payments on her behalf, and then paid off the loan entirely in 2023. All while keeping the deed frozen in her name.

Was it a relative? A friend? Or someone connected to the original seller — a Tillis-run LLC? I don’t know yet. But whoever it was, they had a powerful reason to keep that house legally invisible for as long as possible.

And that raises perhaps the most pressing question of all:

What were they hiding?

May 7, 2025 - Royal family advisor John Bryan via OMG undercover: 'Prince Andrew was f*ing underage girls'

In revelation caught on hidden camera by O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), American businessman and long-time royal insider John Bryan has come forward with damning claims about Prince Andrew’s personal relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Bryan, a trusted advisor to the Duke of York, also alleged that Prince Andrew lied to him about his involvement in sexual misconduct with minors.

“I knew he [Prince Andrew] saw him [Jeffrey Epstein],” said Bryan, “But he lied to me that he was such a close friend,” revealed Bryan, referring to Prince Andrew’s personal relationship with Epstein.

After Prince Andrew’s 2019 BBC interview, where he denied knowing Virginia Giuffre and famously claimed he was physically incapable of sweating, Bryan says he was quietly brought into “Royal Lodge,” Andrew’s private residence, to provide “crisis” management advice. In a previous interview with the New York Post, Bryan revealed “They [the British Royal Family] brought me in to help him [Andrew].” Bryan told the publication, “Andrew was so distressed, he wasn’t able to focus for more than 40 minutes.”

According to previous reporting by The Daily Mail, Bryan also admitted to crafting a five-page PR strategy titled the “House of Kroy,” advising Andrew to publicly express sympathy for victims of Jeffrey Epstein while maintaining his own innocence. At the time, Bryan publicly supported the Prince, stating, “I believe Prince Andrew is innocent.”

“I did a big thing in The Daily Mail saying that I believed Andrew,” Bryan recounted to our undercover OMG journalist, adding, “And then I found out he was lying. I was so pissed.” When asked what Andrew had lied about, Bryan didn’t mince words: “That he was fucking underage girls. That’s not cool.”

O’Keefe Media Group has reached out to both the Royal Family and John Bryan for comment regarding Bryan’s admissions.

May 7, 2025 - GOP rep details how FBI covered up the 2017 attack on Republicans practicing for Congressional baseball game

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo expressed shock Wednesday when Republican Rep. Rick Crawford of Arkansas detailed the findings of a House Intelligence Committee report on the FBI’s investigation of the 2017 attack on Republicans at a practice for the Congressional baseball game.

Then-House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana was shot in the June 2017 attack carried out by James Hodgkinson, a supporter of independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont’s 2016 presidential campaign. Crawford told Bartiromo that FBI Director Kash Patel “pulled back the curtain” to allow a review of the agency’s probe into the attack, which also wounded a staffer and a police officer.

“How is this allowed?” Bartiromo asked Crawford after reading from the report. “There was no connection to terrorism initially and now we see a completely different narrative in the report.”

“It took us eight years to get that. But for Director Patel committing to us he would have it to us, we would still be waiting,” Crawford told Bartiromo. “Director Patel came in and he has kind of pulled the curtain back and I’ll do what he can he’s been transparent with us as possible and that’s exactly what he did.”

The report criticized the FBI, saying the case file showed that Hodgkinson carried out “a premeditated assassination attempt” against Republican members of Congress and was “seeking to affect” how the United States government conducted itself.

“First off, [the] suicide by cop narrative was on its face wrong because there was no uniformed police officers present when the shooting started,” Crawford said. “So, he was there, and we knew he had a manifesto on his person and he had a list of other Republican members in his pocket and he was engaged in a long-term, a ten-minute firefight. In a firefight, ten minutes is a long time. That was not suicide by cop and any reasonable person would have dismissed that immediately.”

“They stuck with the narrative until 2021. In May of 2021, for whatever reason, there was no new information introduced in the investigation, but they decided in May of 2021 to say, you know, if we had to do it over, maybe we would consider a nexus to domestic terrorism,” Crawford continued. “That’s a problem. The fact that it took them four years to come to the conclusion without any new information is the investigation. So, there was, this investigation is chock-full of questionable conclusions and really, the methods that they used and the political bias that was demonstrated is unconscionable.” (Read more: The Daily Caller, 5/7/2025)  (Archive)

May 7, 2025 - A Boston judge faces trial for helping illegal immigrant flee ICE agents in 2018

Judge Shelley Joseph (Credit: public domain)

A Massachusetts judge will soon face a public hearing over serious misconduct allegations. Judge Shelley Joseph is accused of helping a twice-deported illegal migrant escape her courtroom in 2018.

The hearing, scheduled for June 9, will resemble a courtroom trial. Her legal team will have a chance to present evidence. The Commission on Judicial Conduct will oversee the process.

Joseph allegedly allowed Jose Medina-Perez, a migrant with narcotics charges, to exit through a back door. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were waiting with a detainer at the courthouse.

In 2019, former U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling charged Joseph with obstruction of justice and conspiracy. The case made national headlines.

Joseph later surrendered. In response, federal prosecutors dropped the charges. The matter then moved to the state’s judicial oversight body.

The Commission formally charged her late last year. According to the Boston Herald, Joseph is accused of “willful judicial misconduct” and “failing to comply with the law.” (Read more: World Insight Info, 5/7/2025)  (Archive)

May 7, 2025 - DOGE: After 10 weeks, more than 500K of the 4.6M active credit cards have been de-activated...more to do

500K credit cards deactivated—real progress, but the real scandal is how 4.6M cards ever existed for 2.2M employees. GSA, Treasury, and HHS led the charge in this $40B spending spree, with average transactions at $441. Bureaucrats treated taxpayer funds like Monopoly money.

DOGE’s audit exposes the rot: agencies like State Department still dragging their feet at 25% compliance. Cut the cards, cut the waste, cut the bloat.

Every deactivated card is a win against D.C.’s culture of excess.

May 7, 2025 - Tulsi Gabbard releases 60,000 additional files related to assassination of RFK

UPDATE: 60,000 additional files related to the Robert F. Kennedy of Senator Robert F. Kennedy are now online at archives.gov/rfk.

After the initial release of 10,000 documents three weeks ago, we searched FBI and CIA warehouses for any records not previously turned over to The National Archives. More than 60,000 documents were discovered, declassified, and digitized for public viewing. Today’s release is an important step toward maximum transparency, finding the truth, and sharing the truth.

May 8, 2025 - Trump nominates Judge Jeanine Pirro as interim US attorney for DC

I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. Jeanine was Assistant District Attorney for Westchester County, New York, and then went on to serve as County Judge, and District Attorney, where she was the first woman ever to be elected to those positions. During her time in office, Jeanine was a powerful crusader for victims of crime. Her establishment of the Domestic Violence Bureau in her Prosecutor’s Office was the first in the Nation. She excelled in all ways. In addition to her Legal career, Jeanine previously hosted her own Fox News Show, Justice with Judge Jeanine, for ten years, and is currently Co-Host of The Five, one of the Highest Rated Shows on Television. Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!

May 8, 2025 - Trump appoints Ed Martin as Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney

One of the true beauties of President Trump is the way he turns seeming defeats into even greater victories.

So soon-to-be-primaried RINO Tillis wants to flex his puny little muscles and feebly try to derail the MAGA agenda?

And instead he gets ultra-MAGA and profoundly gifted jurist Judge Jeanine as the D.C. prosecutor and Ed Martin instead moves to the office that is in charge of gutting the belly of the beast????

Ed Martin’s pivot to leading the Weaponization Working Group is a masterstroke. His track record of gutting corrupt Biden-era prosecutions and dismantling the administrative state’s chokehold on justice proves he’s the right pick to expose D.C.’s rot. The same bureaucrats crying about “norms” are the ones who weaponized DOJ against political enemies for years—Martin’s mandate to audit their misconduct is long overdue.

Tillis’s weak-kneed resistance only highlights why MAGA loyalists like Martin are essential: establishment Republicans would rather preserve the swamp than drain it. This isn’t a defeat—it’s a tactical elevation.

The real work begins: subpoenas, accountability, and ensuring every Biden crony who abused power faces consequences. No more two-tiered system.

May 8, 2025 - ICE detainee and "Georgetown Scholar" propagandist is related to a senior advisor to Hamas

Badar Khan Suri’s case is a textbook example of why immigration enforcement can’t play games with national security. DHS alleges he’s linked to a Hamas advisor and spread propaganda—that’s not “academic freedom,” that’s a red flag. ICE exists to remove threats, not debate them.

The media’s sob stories about his detention ignore the real issue: why was someone with these ties allowed to operate here in the first place? Deportation isn’t about his wife’s heritage; it’s about protecting Americans from extremism.

If the courts block this, it’s another win for bureaucracy over safety.

May 8, 2025 - FBI opens formal investigation of NY Attorney General Letitia James

The FBI in Albany has opened a formal criminal investigation examining the real estate and mortgage transactions of New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to law enforcement sources briefed on the matter.

John A. Sarcone III, is appointed by Pam Bondi to be the new U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York. He is expected to take office as interim U.S. Attorney March 17 pending confirmation. (Credit: public domain)

It’s unclear why U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi steered the referral to New York’s Northern District; although James is a statewide elected official with offices in Albany, the transactions involve her personal property purchases and loans that were processed in New York City and Virginia. Some of the transactions also may fall outside the federal statute of limitations. However, one of the mortgages involves James’ assertions in loan documents related to her 2023 purchase of a residence in Norfolk, Virginia.

One of the mortgage documents filed in connection with James’ purchase of the single-family residence — a notarized power-of-attorney document — was signed as a witness by Jennifer Levy, who is the first deputy attorney general. A spokesman for James did not immediately respond to a question about why Levy would have been asked to sign a document related to the attorney general’s purchase of a private residence.

That document, which James also signed, stated: “I hereby declare that I intend to occupy this property as my principal residence.”

Under state law, James’ principal residence as a statewide elected official must be in New York.

“This is being handled at this time by main (Department of) Justice and the Albany FBI field office,” said U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III, who oversees the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York’s Northern District. “We stand prepared to act in the capacity that we need to when and if we are informed there’s a charge to be made. Unlike Letitia James, who unethically ran around the state campaigning on getting Donald Trump… my office conducts itself in a manner that is proper and professional.”

(…) The Times Union has reported that the documents of her property transactions, some dating to 1983, have been circulated since last year to various news outlets and elected officials by a man using a fictitious name. He had claimed that he was part of a “group” that had begun delving into James’ property records after a friend had committed suicide while under investigation by the attorney general’s office for mortgage fraud.

(…) The documents apparently made their way to William J. Pulte, director of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency, who sent a referral letter last month to Bondi alleging that James may have “falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms.”

May 9, 2025 - Democrat members of Congress and Newark NJ mayor assault law enforcement at an ICE facility in NJ

Democrats Exposed: Judges and Mayors Break Federal Law to Shield Violent Illegal Immigrants While Claiming “No One Is Above the Law”.

Democrats chant “no one is above the law” while targeting Trump with politically driven prosecutions, yet their officials defy federal law to protect violent illegal immigrants, favoring MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gang members over citizens. Three cases expose this hypocrisy, alongside New York’s AG’s legal woes.

In Wisconsin, Judge Hannah Dugan blocked ICE agents on April 18, 2025, to help Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal immigrant charged with domestic abuse, escape arrest. Dugan misled agents and snuck Flores-Ruiz out a jury door, risking officer and victim safety. In New Mexico, ex-Magistrate Judge Joel Cano hid Tren de Aragua gang member Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, giving him firearms and destroying evidence. Both face federal charges, but Democrats call it “political.”

In New Jersey, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka led Democrats in illegally storming an ICE facility to stop deportations of violent criminals. Meanwhile, New York AG Letitia James, embroiled in a mortgage fraud scandal, evades accountability while preaching “justice.” Democrats weaponize the law against Trump but break it to shield gang members, betraying Americans for votes.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s arrest for illegally storming an ICE detention center to free violent criminal illegals is a disgusting display of Democrat priorities. These aren’t dreamers—they’re murderers, rapists, and gang members itching to terrorize our communities. Baraka, a gubernatorial wannabe, thinks he’s above the law, but he’s not alone.

Democrat Congressmen, hiding behind Speech and Debate Clause immunity, joined this lawless stunt to obstruct federal law enforcement. That immunity doesn’t give them a free pass to trespass and sabotage ICE’s mission. Karoline Leavitt added, “President Trump is deporting illegal immigrant criminals… to put Americans first.” Alina Habba will likely slap these Democrats with federal charges—and they deserve it. As they preached in 2024, “nobody is above the law.” Yet, Democrats shield these predators, proving they care more about violent illegals than innocent Americans. Trump’s mass deportation plan is our shield against this betrayal. Lock them up!

I have obtained exclusive ICE officer body cam footage clearly showing Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver verbally and physically assaulting federal agents in New Jersey after illegally entering an ICE detention facility.

In the video you can see indisputable evidence of Congresswoman McIver (in the red jacket) punch, push and hit a federal agent, refusing to follow the ICE officers orders and impeding in a lawful arrest.

In the body cam footage you can also watch Rep. McIver verbally threaten to “put hands” on the federal agents. “I touch whoever I want mother fu****!” Rep. McIver then threatens to destroy the ICE officers careers, “You will pay!” before descending into a profanity-laced rampage tirade.

All of these actions are flatly illegal under 18 U.S. Code § 111 and carry heavy fines and prison sentences.

A spokesperson for Department of Homeland Security has confirmed to me that “there will be more investigations and arrests.”

“If you assault a law enforcement officer you will answer to the law.”

I have reached out to Speaker Johnson’s Office for an official statement on disciplinary action from the House.

If Congress members assaulted ICE officers, they should face the same legal consequences as any citizen. Law enforcement’s job is tough enough without politicians thinking they’re above the law. DHS releasing bodycam footage would bring transparency—either expose criminal behavior or debunk false claims. Either way, accountability matters.

No one gets a pass for attacking those enforcing our borders. The real issue? Politicians who grandstand on immigration chaos they helped create through decades of weak policies.

Secure the border, enforce the law, and let the facts—not theatrics—decide outcome.

May 8, 2025 - Trump announces he will nominate a new U.S. Attorney for DC and will bring Ed Martin into the DOJ

Ed Martin’s nomination as U.S. Attorney for D.C. underscores a critical reset: prioritizing accountability over bureaucracy. The office’s prior focus on politically charged Jan. 6 prosecutions—many of which collapsed under scrutiny—revealed systemic overreach. Martin’s mandate? Restore prosecutorial discretion, dismantle legacy vendettas, and refocus on actual public safety.

D.C. saw a 14% drop in violent crime this year under interim leadership—proof that law and order works. The real scandal isn’t personnel changes; it’s that Biden’s DOJ weaponized the judiciary to target opponents while ignoring rampant urban decay.

Martin’s track record of challenging corrupt systems aligns with the urgent need to purge D.C.’s entrenched legal rot.

🇺🇸🔥 We love you @EagleEdMartin 🔥🇺🇸

Thom Tillis is a disgrace. A weak, unqualified puppet of the NED and the USGLC, with zero military backbone, who sabotaged you not for wrongdoing, but for asking the one question that terrifies the regime:

What if their January 6 narrative is a lie?

That alone was enough to trigger their panic. Because truth is dangerous to institutions built on lies.

We the People are the judges now. Not the bloated, crumbling institutions desperately clinging to their illusion of legitimacy. Not the unelected elites in think tanks, CIA backrooms, or NGO war rooms.

Their post–Cold War “regime change at any cost” doctrine has killed hundreds of thousands, shattered entire nations, and unleashed suffering across the globe… all while pretending it’s about “freedom.”

We see them. We name them.

Congress. Media. Academia. Intelligence. NED. So-called democracy NGOs.

They are not guardians of peace or democracy… they are lazy, bought, and openly destructive.

Their time of immunity is over. And their reckoning is coming.

May 10, 2025 - Weaponization czar Ed Martin quietly probed Russiagate foes for months, teases ‘no limit to the targets’

(…) “There was no limit to the weaponization,” Martin told The New York Post. “So there may be no limit to the targets.”

“It’s a nationwide and frankly, international docket where the government was used against the citizens, where the government was weaponized,” he added.

“Sometimes there’ll be crimes involved, in which case we’ll prosecute. Sometimes there’ll be just the need to make clear this is not how it’s supposed to go.”

While the Senate was busy playing games, Martin was already wielding his authority behind the scenes.

As interim U.S. attorney, he demoted multiple prosecutors involved in the politically charged January 6th cases and began launching fresh inquiries into Russiagate actors.

Mueller’s infamous “pitbull,” Andrew Weissmann; DOJ insider Mary McCord; and disgraced former FBI counterintelligence chief Charles McGonigal—who is now serving a prison sentence for colluding with sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska—were all key players in the Trump-Russia saga.

More from the New York Post:

Just last week, Martin’s office fired off an email to McGonigal’s attorney, asking for an interview with him over “information [that] has come to the attention of my office,” according to a copy of the letter first seen by The Post.

Based on the letter, it is not clear what Martin’s team unearthed about McGonigal, who is now ironically serving out a 78-month sentence for colluding with a Russian oligarch to evade US sanctions and concealing information from the feds about how he received $225,000 from someone linked to the Albanian government.

[…] Perhaps the most high-profile known target Martin pursued is Weissman, who was the top lieutenant of the Mueller probe and is now an MSNBC legal analyst.

In March, Martin raised conflict of interest concerns against Weissman over his role in signing off on a settlement of up to $4.5 billion in a foreign bribery case revolving around Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht while serving as chief of the Criminal Fraud Section of the Justice Department in 2016.

Martin pointed out that Weissman worked for the Jenner & Block law firm before leading the DOJ’s Criminal Fraud Section.

Jenner & Block represented Canadian private equity firm Brookfield Asset Management, which seemingly took advantage of the fallout from the bribery case and purchased a 57% stake from Odebrecht in Peruvian toll road authority Rutas de Lima in 2016.
