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.”

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

Police officers at the gates of Andrew’s former home in Berkshire, Royal Lodge, in Windsor (Credit: Tony Kershaw/SWNS)

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.

February 20, 2026 – JPMorgan Chase formally admits to terminating more than 50 Trump bank accounts after January 6 protest

JPMorgan Chase has formally admitted that it terminated more than 50 accounts connected to President Donald Trump and his business operations in the wake of the January 6th protest.

The admission came in court filings responding to a lawsuit filed by Trump and the Trump Organization.

The suit names JPMorgan and its CEO, Jamie Dimon, of debanking the president as part of an orchestrated political attack.

According to documents submitted to the court, the closures affected accounts tied to Trump hotels, real estate projects, and retail ventures in multiple states, as well as his longstanding private banking relationship.

That relationship had handled personal financial matters, including assets linked to his inheritance.

The bank’s internal correspondence, included in the filing, does not cite a specific violation or financial irregularity.

In a letter dated February 2021, JPMorgan informed Trump that he would need to “find a more suitable institution with which to conduct business.”

“Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter,” it concluded.

The lawsuit alleges the bank “needed to distance itself from President Trump and his conservative political views,” effectively placing him on a blacklist.

“In essence, [JP Morgan] debanked plaintiffs’ accounts because it believed that the political tide at the moment favored doing so,” the lawsuit states. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 2/22/2026)  (Archive)

February 19, 2026 – Trump, Rubio’s State Department and DOGE are creating a portal for censored people to bypass their country’s censorship laws

🚨 WOW! President Trump and Marco Rubio’s State Department is creating a portal for people in places like the European Union to BYPASS censorship laws — with the help of Elon Musk’s DOGE genius, “Big Balls” Edward Coristine

ABSOLUTELY BASED.

Freedom dot gov is set to un-filter “hate speech” and other BS censorship enacted by governments online

Edward Coristine: “FREEDOM IS COMING.” 🔥🇺🇸

The http://freedom.gov portal is a game-changer for digital sovereignty. Europe’s censorship regime—masked as “hate speech” enforcement—has long suppressed free expression under the guise of combating extremism. The State Department’s move to empower users with unfiltered access via VPNs and privacy tools isn’t just about bypassing bans; it’s a direct rebuke of EU overreach that conflates conservative dissent with terrorism.

Edward Coristine’s involvement, leveraging DOGE’s efficiency playbook, ensures this isn’t another bloated federal project but a surgical strike against bureaucratic censorship.

Critics whine about “undermining laws,” but sovereignty isn’t negotiable. If Brussels can’t handle truth, America will host it.

February 20, 2026 – New FBI internal emails reveal Biden White House coordinated with DOJ on Mar-a-Lago raid

FOX NEWS ALERT: Fox News has obtained emails from 2022 that appear to contradict the Biden administration’s claim it had nothing to do with the Department of Justice’s raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida reports Fox’s @BretBaier and @davidspunt

Fox’s David Spunt: “New emails obtained by Fox News from May 2022, 3 months before Mar-a-Lago was raided by the FBI, illustrated coordination between the White House Counsel’s office and the DOJ regarding an interview of Walt Nauta.”

AG Bondi says: “The more we learn about the DOJ’s weaponization under the prior administration, the worse the story gets… We will continue disclosing KEY EVIDENCE to our congressional partners to deliver the truth and bring those who committed crimes to justice.”

(…) In 2024, Judge Aileen Cannon unsealed records in Jack Smith’s classified docs case against Trump that reveal Biden’s White House and DOJ were coordinating with National Archives general counsel Gary Stern.

The day before Jack Smith indicted Trump in the classified documents case on June 8, 2023, NARA’s general counsel, Gary Stern, was at the Biden White House and met with Joe Biden’s White House lawyer, Richard Sauber.

NARA’s general counsel, Gary Stern, was working with Biden’s White House and DOJ as early as August 2021 (one year before the Mar-a-Lago raid).

It was recently reported that the FBI did not believe it had probable cause to raid Mar-a-Lago in 2022 but descended on Trump’s Florida estate amid pressure from Biden’s corrupt Justice Department. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 2/20/2026) (Archive)

February 21, 2026 – Epstein Files: The Rothschild name appears 12,000 times in the Epstein Files

In February 2016, Jeffrey Epstein wrote an email to Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, with a sentence that should have made the front page of every newspaper in the Western world: “As you probably know, I represent the Rothschilds.” The sentence is in the Epstein Files. It is an official document of the United States Department of Justice. And the mainstream press treated it as it would a footnote about the weather in Bermuda.

Guy de Rothschild and Marie-Hélène de Rothschild attend The Rothschild Surrealist Ball, 1972)

The name “Rothschild” appears nearly 12,000 times across the 3.8 million pages released in January 2026. Twelve thousand times. By comparison, “Clinton” appears at a significantly lower frequency. But in the media ecosystem that Chomsky helped build, repeating the name Rothschild in an investigative context is automatically reclassified as conspiratorial delusion. Convenient, when yours is the most cited name in the largest child sex trafficking scandal in modern history.

Les Wexner, the billionaire founder of Victoria’s Secret and Epstein’s largest known benefactor, testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee on February 18, 2026. Asked about the credentials that led him to entrust Epstein with full power of attorney over his finances, he answered plainly: “His personal work for the Rothschild family in France.” He added: “Specifically, I spoke to Élie de Rothschild. He represented their whole family.” Under oath. Before the United States Congress. Wexner’s attorney was caught whispering to his client on a hot mic: “I’ll fucking kill you if you answer another question with more than five words.” Desperation has recognizable symptoms.

The documents confirm what Wexner revealed. In October 2015, Southern Trust Company Inc., chaired by Epstein and based in the Virgin Islands, entered into a $25 million contract with Edmond de Rothschild Holding S.A. The subject: “risk analysis” and “application of certain algorithms.” Twenty-five million dollars for a convicted child sex offender to run algorithms for the wealthiest family in Europe. If this were a TV script, no studio would buy it for lack of plausibility.

Ariane de Rothschild, CEO of the Edmond de Rothschild Group since 2023, exchanged emails with Epstein dozens of times per month. The Wall Street Journal confirmed in 2023 that she met with him in person more than a dozen times after his conviction. The bank’s initial defense was to deny any contact. Later, they admitted the meetings took place “as part of her normal duties.” Normal duties apparently include regular meetings with convicted pedophiles.

(…) The pattern that emerges from the documents is structurally clear. Epstein operated as the Rothschild family’s financial representative. He used that position to build a network of relationships with billionaires, politicians, and academics. That network was the operational substrate of the largest documented child sex trafficking scheme in history. And when the survivors began to speak, the silencing machine operated with banking precision. (Read more: The Elegant Ruin, 2/21/2026)  (Archive)

February 21, 2026 – The FBI Mission and the “Library on Congress”

In roughly the past fifty years, the term “continuity of government” has been used with increased frequency describing how the United States of America, a constitutional republican system of government, contains internal mechanisms to protect the executive branch in the event of crisis, attack or disruption of leadership by adversaries.

The term ‘continuity of government‘ became much more common in the aftermath of 9-11-01 and the thunder shock of an al-Qaeda inspired terrorist attack in New York and Washington DC.

Within the very brief discussion period that led up to the 10-26-01 Patriot Act [pdf here], literally a structural reform of the entire domestic terrorist apparatus that created the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA), a bill only debated for a few weeks, the baseline was the enhanced ‘continuity of government‘ in the event of an emergency.

As we have exhaustively outlined on these pages, the outcome of the Patriot Act was to create a system where every American was now viewed by our federal government through the prism of the citizen being a potential terrorist threat.

The federal government aligned all of our institutions and national security systems accordingly.

DHS was created to monitor American behavior, the TSA was created to scan American travelers, and the FBI was enhanced with resources to conduct surveillance despite our Fourth Amendment protections within our Constitution.  Instead of the U.S. Govt protecting U.S. citizens from foreign threats, the Patriot Act changed the mission of government to protect itself from potential citizen threats.

In essence, We the People became the suspects, and all of the constitutional viewpoints within the FBI and Dept of Justice were modified to create monitoring systems.

The legislative branch was considered part of a this newly protected elite class of Americans, and the judicial branch deferred all scrutiny to the executive as long as they claimed, ‘national security.’  The secret FISA court system would grant the agents surveillance power over U.S. citizens.

As the foundation of this new surveillance state was just being finalized, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Eric Holder then entered government via the 2008 election and weaponized this system to target their domestic political opposition.

However, there is also a second element to this ‘continuity of government’ that flows with the first premise.

The continuity of a very specific outlook by government.

The continuity of a very specific construct of government.

The continuity of a view within government of how government should operate. This is part of the continuity of government not discussed.

You can argue it was the viewpoint of a very specific type of government “continuity” that led to the opposition against Donald Trump by Democrats and Republicans.

Trump would be a disruptive influence if introduced into a continuation mission that did not like change.  This ‘continuity’ mindset then established the justification for every institution and element of the bureaucracy, including almost all layers of the people who run them, to oppose Donald Trump.

By the time the 2016 election arrived, We the People had already been defined by the Patriot Act outcome as a threat to government.  If we the people did not select the right kind of candidate who would be approved by the continuity system, then our selection would be rejected by all of the operators of that administrative system.   That’s what happened.

Every move by the U.S. federal government, from 2016 to now, has been contrast against the backdrop of a new awakening and visible understanding.

We the People are the threat, and those who control the DC power centers that determine the continuity of government, will not accept any modification or diminishment of their mission.  This is how they justify their conduct in very real terms, including through application of law.  This is also why the people who operate these systems are very visible with their conduct and do not have any reservations about showing their omnipotent mindset.

From their perspective, they are doing what they do, running government how they run government, maintaining the continuity the system was designed to protect, and we are what they consider futile and irrelevant voices.

Both the Republican and Democrat leadership hold this same view.  This “continuity of government” is the core of their UniParty alignment.

Here is where this understanding gets really interesting.

In order to maintain this system, there has to be an internal monitoring system, a surveillance system to protect itself against any adversary.  A domestic surveillance state has to exist as an outcome of the logical sequence.

Within this total surveillance state, the FBI is the federal agency – a national police force with a mission to run monitoring operations.

Everyone is monitored, and in case anyone would raise objection to being monitored, the corporate media provide protection against criticism by saying the agencies doing the monitoring need to be independent.

As we plunge deeper and deeper into this weaponized surveillance state, if you engage in any conduct to avoid monitoring, you run the risk of being caught in the DHS surveillance sweep.  You run the risk of becoming a DHS subject of interest, just like candidate Donald Trump – only smaller.  If you choose to fight against accepting the weaponized surveillance state, you will be considered a DHS subject of interest – just like the J6 detainees.

When the FBI was fighting against the release of the FD-1023 report, outlining the Confidential Human Source (CHS) that gave evidence to the FBI against Joe Biden, people missed something.

The DOJ/FBI reluctance to admit the FD-1023 report existed was not just about Joe Biden, it was also about a surveillance process this reporting would reveal.

The confidential human source (CHS) was a person giving information to the FBI for their files.  This is the library on congress.  There are hundreds of thousands of these FD-1023 forms created, as CHS’s undercover agent employees (UAE’s) and a myriad of resources, are deployed in this surveillance system.

It’s the breadth of this surveillance system that leads to the FBI saying, “The safeguards the FBI placed on the production of this information are necessary to protect the safety of confidential sources and the integrity of sensitive investigations. Today’s release of the 1023 [form] – at a minimum – unnecessarily risks the safety of a confidential source.”

As noted by the Federalist Margot Cleveland, “During Wednesday’s hours-long hearing, IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler both told lawmakers they had never seen the FD-1023. Significantly, Ziegler then stated: “There’s things that are contained on that document that could further corroborate other information that we might be having an issue corroborating because it could be regarding a foreign official. So, if we have information regarding that in a document or a witness, we can further corroborate later evidence.”

The reason the IRS agents were not aware of the CHS reports to the FBI, is because keeping the FD-1023 report hidden did not have as much to do with protecting Biden as it does with protecting this surveillance apparatus.

Who are all of these CHS’s and UAEs like Igor Danchenko, Patrick Byrne, Azra Turk, Carter Page, Joseph Mifsud, Ray Epps, 1% Watchdog, etc. etc. etc?  There is a massive surveillance apparatus underway monitoring everyone, including an assembly of files against sitting members of congress and political leadership.

Keep in mind, the FD-1023 reports are not blackmail, they are reports of conduct and action.

Blackmail and/or leverage is an outcome of knowing information.  The massive assembly of FD-1023 reports are the source information.

This was a big part of the reason why FBI Director Christopher Wray initially denied there was an FD-1023 report.

In the bigger of the big pictures, this Joe/Hunter Biden story was the tip of an iceberg showing how the FBI is a domestic surveillance operation assembling files on everyone; that includes members of Congress and key political leadership that could advance to power.  Why is all of this surveillance taking place?…

….Because it is a very specific type of Continuity of Government that must be maintained.

Don’t look at the Potemkin village we call Washington DC.

Look for the people behind the construct.

Look for the people who are using these files.

February 24, 2026 – Highlights of Trump’s State Of The Union address

Celebrities, lawmakers and former government officials gathered for a “State of the Swamp” event ahead of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, staging a high-profile protest as counter programming to the annual speech.

President Trump honors Coast Guard Petty Officer Scott Ruskan with the Legion of Merit for rescuing 165 people, largely children, during the deadly flash floods that struck Camp Mystic on July 4, 2025.

“If you agree with this statement, stand up to show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens,” Trump said.

Republicans stood up and cheered while many Democrats remained seated.

President Trump lambasted the Democrats for refusing to stand for protecting American citizens.

“[Democrats] are blocking the removal of [illegal alien drug lords and rapists] out of our country and you should be ashamed of yourselves!” Trump said.

“You have killed Americans!” Omar shouted.

“You should be ashamed!” Omar added.

Fellow squad member Rashida Tlaib also joined Ilhan Omar and shouted at President Trump.

Democrat Response:

February 24, 2026 – The Biden DOJ funneled millions in federal grants to Fani Willis as she coordinated with the WH and J6 Committee to prosecute Trump

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis coordinated extensively with the Biden Justice Department and White House as well as Democrats on the House Jan. 6 investigative committee as she built a failed criminal case against President Donald Trump and his allies related to their challenge to Georgia’s 2020 election results, according to a trove of internal communications obtained by Just the News.

The memos show that President Joe Biden’s top White House lawyer personally opened the door for Willis’ prosecutors to interview Trump administration officials by waiving claims of executive privilege, that federal prosecutors waived certain rights to allow the interviews to proceed before a state grand jury and that Willis’s team spoke glowingly of the congressional efforts to expose Trump’s involvement in the disputed election.

“Our initial review of the report confirms you all have accomplished amazing things in the past year,” F. Donald Wakeford, a top deputy to Willis, wrote in a December 2022 email to Tim Heaphy, chief investigative counsel for the Democrat-run Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Just the News, alongside the nonprofit public interest law firm America First Legal (AFL), sued Willis for the records, under Georgia’s Open Records Law. Willis, a longtime Trump nemesis, sought to hide many of the records with claims of legal privilege during a prolonged legal fight.

In a reaction to the lawsuit, Willis’ office this week dropped all privilege claims and released all the documents without any redactions, providing to Just the News — and the public — more information than it did to congressional Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee.

“These documents reveal that the Biden Administration and the January 6 Committee were much more involved in District Attorney Fani Willis’s prosecution of President Trump than was previously believed. AFL was happy to represent Just the News to get Americans this new information,” said Will Scolinos, an attorney at America First Legal.

Georgia court: “Willis’ misconduct created an “odor of mendacity”

The Georgia Court of Appeals issued a decision holding Willis accountable for prosecutorial misconduct and conflict of interest during her hunt to get Trump.

“The court highlighted that Willis’ misconduct created an ‘odor of mendacity’ and an appearance of impropriety that could only be cured by the disqualification of her and her entire office,” Trump attorney Steve Sadow said in a statement, according to The Georgia Reporter.

“As the court rightfully noted, only the remedy of disqualification will suffice to restore public confidence. This decision puts an end to a politically motivated persecution of the next President of the United States.”

February 25, 2026 – Trump announces a ‘war on fraud’ and appoints JD Vance to oversee it

President Donald Trump announces the “war on fraud” during his State of the Union address on February 25, 2026, and appoints Vice President JD Vance to lead/oversee the initiative.

He states: “So tonight, although [it] started four months ago, I am officially announcing the war on fraud to be led by our great Vice President JD Vance. He’ll get it done.”

The effort focuses on rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in federal programs (especially Medicaid and entitlements), with early actions including freezing over $250 million in Medicaid funds to Minnesota.

Vice President JD Vance and administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Mehmet Oz discussed a ‘War on Fraud’ that President Trump announced in his State of the Union. The main topic was health care related fraud in Minnesota, and the Trump administration is reportedly cutting some funding to the state over it.

February 25, 2026 – Biden’s FBI subpoenaed Kash Patel and Susie Wiles phone records while they were private citizens; Patel fires those involved

The FBI, under President Joe Biden, subpoenaed the phone records of Susie Wiles, President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, and FBI Director Kash Patel when they were private citizens.

The subpoenas came out when Smith investigated Trump for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election and hiding classified information at Mar-a-Lago.

The most significant part of the story, which Reuters buried, is that two FBI officials said that the agency wiretapped and recorded a call between Wiles and her attorney in 2023.

The attorney supposedly consented to the FBI recording the call.

According to Marc Caputo of Axios, the lawyer denies the claim, saying he never gave permission for anyone to record the phone call.

“If I ever pulled a stunt like that I wouldn’t – and shouldn’t – have a license to practice law,” the lawyer told Caputo. “I’m as shocked as Susie.”

Wiles reportedly told people close to her that the news left her “in shock.”

It seems Wiles believes the attorney.

Caputo correctly does not name the lawyer since “he and his former client believe he is being [un]fairly accused.”

The news is serious because it’s not the same as the tracking Smith and his cronies performed on eight Republican senators and 400 Republicans.

The tracking, known as toll analysis, only shows the who, when, and where of the communication. It does not show content.

Tapping and recording phone calls obviously reveals content.

To make matters worse, the phone call was between Wiles and her attorney.

Attorney-client privilege applies only when the attorney is acting in an attorney-client capacity, a third party is present, the parties are facilitating a crime, or confidentiality is waived. (Read more: Legal Insurrection, 2/27/2026)  (Archive)

February 25, 2026 – Biden’s FBI was spying on Kash Patel and Susie Wiles in 2022 and 2023… when they were private citizens

(…) Patel told Reuters that the bureau’s subpoenas were an example of federal overreach by unelected officials.

“It is outrageous and deeply alarming that the previous FBI leadership secretly subpoenaed my own phone records – along with those of now White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles – using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight,” Patel said.

February 26, 2026 – Kristi Noem: Deep State officials bugged my phone, computer

Deep State activists within the Department of Homeland Security secretly bugged the phones and computers used by top political appointees, agency chief Kristi Noem told the PBD Podcast.

Elon Musk’s deputies “helped me identify [the Deep State allies who] downloaded software on my phone and my laptop to spy on me, to record our meetings,” Noem said on February 26, adding:

They had done that to several of the politicals, and so we ended up bringing in [outside tech] people … [and we] didn’t have those technology experts here in the department looking at all of our laptops and our phones and recognizing that kind of software.

“I always believed when people talked about the deep state before that it existed: I never would have dreamed that it was as bad as it is,” she said. “I’m still every day trying to dig out people who don’t love America, not just [those] who work at this department, but also work throughout the federal government.”

The Deep State actors also had their own spy base within the DHS building, she said:

I just found the other day a whole room on this [DHS headquarters] campus that was a secret SCIF secure facility [Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility] that had files nobody knew existed. So we just happened to have an employee walk by a door and wonder what it was. Started asking questions. We went there. There was individuals working there that had secret files that nobody knew about on some of these most controversial topics, like that. And now I’ve got that turned over to attorneys, and we’re getting to the bottom of what exactly happened there.

Noem also said she is trying to reconstruct the movement of scientists through U.S. government and Chinese laboratories before the coronavirus crash:

I also have national labs under my jurisdiction, they [have] scientists that participated with that [China-based] Wuhan lab. [We’re studying] how they were traveling back and forth between each other, and working on those experiments.

“It’s been eye-opening,” she said.

February 26, 2026 – Hillary Clinton’s team spent seven hours engineering the perfect camera angle and lighting before her Epstein deposition

(Credit: America First Report)

Before Hillary Clinton answered a single question under oath about her connections to Jeffrey Epstein, her team had already spent considerable energy on a different priority: making sure she looked good on camera. According to a source familiar with the setup, the pre-deposition preparations at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center on February 26 involved a level of image management more fitting for a television production than a sworn congressional proceeding.

The details, first reported by the New York Post, paint a telling picture. Clinton’s team requested what the source described as “beauty lighting” from the venue. They repeatedly instructed that the camera be positioned to her left, which they considered her more flattering angle. When the existing lighting still cast unflattering shadows, white tablecloths were brought in and arranged to reflect the overhead stage lights and soften the effect on her face.

The original black curtains were deemed unacceptable — the source says the team worried they made the setting look like a “hostage situation.” A custom blue-paneled backdrop was ordered from a local vendor and produced in roughly seven hours to replace them. Many of these same visual adjustments remained in place the following day for former President Bill Clinton’s deposition.

Whatever one makes of the underlying investigation, the staging operation raises an obvious question: why does a witness summoned to give sworn testimony in a closed-door congressional deposition need a lighting crew? (Read more: America First Report, 3/3/2026)  (Archive)

February 26, 2026 – Hillary Clinton stops her Jeffrey Epstein deposition after Boebert took pic of her and sent to Benny Johnson; deposition resumes later

Chaos erupted inside Hillary Clinton’s Jeffrey Epstein deposition on Thursday after a Republican lawmaker took a photograph of her during the private session.

Representative Lauren Boebert snapped a picture of Hillary and her attorneys as she addressed lawmakers about her relationship with Epstein, then purportedly leaked it to MAGA influencer Benny Johnson. 

Hillary’s lawyers asked that the proceedings be halted after the photograph began circulating on social media. It is strictly prohibited for lawmakers or witnesses to take pictures inside a closed-door congressional testimony.

The former secretary of state is being deposed at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center near the Clintons’ home in Westchester County, New York, while Bill Clinton will testify on Friday.

The closed-door session is being filmed, though any footage will be reviewed by Hillary’s lawyers before release. The deposition resumed within an hour.

Hillary later asked James Comer, the top Republican overseeing the deposition, if the press could be allowed in the hearing after Boebert’s shocking leak. Comer reportedly replied, ‘No.’

A Clinton spokesman told the Daily Mail: ‘It’s against chamber rules that were read at the top of the meeting. So the hearing has been paused briefly while they figure out where the photo came from and why, possibly, members of Congress are violating House rules.’

Prior to the chaos, Hillary blasted Republicans for targeting her while failing to investigate Donald Trump in a fiery opening statement where she provided no defense for her husband.

The former secretary of state said she has ‘no information on Epstein’s criminal activities and never recalls meetings’, then accused lawmakers of covering up for Trump’s relationship with Epstein, where he faces ‘heinous’ accusations from survivors.

Hillary Clinton Statement

Mr Chairman, Ranking Member, Members of the Committee… as a former Senator, I have respect for legislative oversight and I expect its exercise, as do the American people, to be principled and fearless in pursuit of truth and accountability.

As we all know, however, too often Congressional investigations are partisan political theater, which is an abdication of duty and an insult to the American people.

The Committee justified its subpoena to me based on its assumption that I have information regarding the investigations into the criminal activities of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Let me be as clear as I can. I do not.

As I stated in my sworn declaration on January 13, I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island, homes or offices. I have nothing to add to that.

Like every decent person, I have been horrified by what we have learned about their crimes. It’s unfathomable that Mr Epstein initially got a slap on the wrist in 2008, which allowed him to continue his predatory practices for another decade.

Mr Chairman, your investigation is supposed to be assessing the federal government’s handling of the investigations and prosecutions of Epstein and his crimes. You subpoenaed eight law enforcement officials, all of whom ran the Department of Justice or directed the FBI when Epstein’s crimes were investigated and prosecuted. Of those eight, only one appeared before the Committee. Five of the six former attorneys general were allowed to submit brief statements stating they had no information to provide.

You have held zero public hearings, refused to allow the media to attend them, including today, despite espousing the need for transparency on dozens of occasions.

You have made little effort to call the people who show up most prominently in the Epstein files. And when you did, not a single Republican Member showed up for Les Wexner’s deposition.

This institutional failure is designed to protect one political party and one public official, rather than to seek truth and justice for the victims and survivors, as well as the public who also want to get to the bottom of this matter. My heart breaks for the survivors. And I am furious on their behalf.

I have spent my life advocating for women and girls. I have worked hard to stop the terrible abuses so many women and girls face here and around the world, including human trafficking, forced labor, and sexual slavery. For too long, these have been largely invisible crimes or not treated as crimes at all. But the survivors are real and they are entitled to better.

In Southeast Asia, I met girls as young as twelve years old who were forced into prostitution and raped repeatedly. Some were dying of AIDS. In Eastern Europe, I met mothers who told me how they lost daughters to trafficking and did not know where to turn. In settings around the world, I met survivors trying to rebuild their lives and help rescue others – with little support from people in power, who too often turned a blind eye and a cold shoulder.

If you are new to this issue, let me tell you: Jeffrey Epstein was a heinous individual, but he’s far from alone. This is not a one-off tabloid sensation or a political scandal. It’s a global scourge with an unimaginable human toll.

My work combatting sex trafficking goes back to my days as First Lady. I worked to pass the first federal legislation against trafficking and was proud that my husband signed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, which increased support for survivors and gave prosecutors better tools for going after traffickers.

As Secretary of State, I appointed a former federal prosecutor, Lou CdeBaca, to ramp up our global antitrafficking efforts. I oversaw nearly 170 anti-trafficking programs in 70 nations and directly pressed foreign leaders to crack down on trafficking networks in their countries. Every year we published a global report to shine a light on abuses. The findings of those reports triggered sanctions on countries failing to make progress, so they became a powerful diplomatic tool to drive concrete action.

I insisted that the United States be included in the report for the first time ever in 2011. Because we must hold ourselves not just to the same standard as the rest of the world but to an even higher one. Sex trafficking and modern slavery should have no place in America. None.

Infuriatingly, the Trump Administration gutted the Trafficking in Persons Office at the State Department, cutting more than 70 percent of the career civil and foreign service experts who worked so hard to prevent trafficking crimes. The annual trafficking report, required by law, was delayed for months. The message from the Trump Administration to the American people and the world could not be clearer: combatting human trafficking is no longer an American priority under the Trump White House.

That is a tragedy. It’s a scandal. It deserves vigorous investigation and oversight.

A committee endeavoring to stopping human trafficking would seek to understand what specific steps are needed to fix a system that allowed Epstein to get away with his crimes in 2008.

A committee run by elected officials with a commitment to transparency would ensure the full release of all the files.

It would ensure that the lawful redactions of those files protected the victims and survivors, not powerful men and political allies.

It would get to the bottom of reports that DOJ withheld FBI interviews in which a survivor accuses President Trump of heinous crimes.

It would subpoena anyone who asked on which night there would be the “wildest party” on Epstein’s island.

It would demand testimony from prosecutors in Florida and New York about why they gave Epstein a sweetheart deal and chose not to pursue others who may have been implicated.

It would demand that Secretary Rubio and Attorney General Bondi testify about why this administration is abandoning survivors and playing into the hands of traffickers.

It would seek out officers on the front lines of this fight and ask them what support they need.

It would put forth legislation to provide more resources and force this administration to act.

But that’s not happening.

Instead, you have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump’s actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers.

If this Committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein’s trafficking crimes, it would not rely on press gaggles to get answers from our current president on his involvement; it would ask him directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files.

If the majority was serious, it would not waste time on fishing expeditions. There is too much that needs to be done.

What is being held back? Who is being protected? And why the cover-up?

My challenge to you, Mr Chairman, Members of the Committee, is the same challenge I put to myself throughout my long service to this nation. How to be worthy of the trust the American people have given you. They expect statesmanship, not gamesmanship. Leading, not grandstanding. They expect you to use your power to get to the truth and to do more to help survivors of Epstein’s crimes as well as the millions more who are victims of sex trafficking.

February 27, 2026 – A non-profit, the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), verifies our voter applicant ID’s nationwide

U.S. States use 2 nearly identical systems to check applicant identities. One is used to check Driver’s License applicants, the other is used to check Voter Registration applicants. One is flawed, the other flawless. Guess which is used for our elections.

The Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) is a generic term for a state’s DMV, MVD, and so on. MVA’s use a service called SSOLV (Social Security Online Verification) to verify driver license applicants. When a person needs a license or ID card, they go to an MVA office. Staff create an “ID verification request” by entering all 9 digits of the SS#, name, and DOB into their computer. That data travels through the middleman network AAMVAnet, to the Social Security Administration, and comes right back with a response.

To verify the identities of Voter Registration applicants, states use a nearly identical program called HAVV (Help America Vote Verification). These ID verifications are sent by the same MVA department, also through AAMVAnet, to the same SSA servers. But this system seems handicapped. Only the last 4 digits of the SS# can be used. And it gets worse. (Funfact: Texas pays $480 per year for its AAMVAnet service).

GP has written about the high percentage (28%, 58%) of non-match ID verifications through the HAVV system.

Both SSOLV and HAVV are services provided by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA). States sign agreements for programs and services provided by AAMVA. In fact, SSOLV and HAVV are so similar that they are often priced as one service and one line item on purchase orders. Note: If a voter applicant doesn’t have a driver’s license, HAVV must be used to check the identity. Some states use HAVV for more than this, including their entire database.

Voter applications come from many sources – online, paper, and applying for gov benefits. Because of this, HAVV verifications are processed differently from SSOLV. Typically, as voter applications come into a Country Recorders’ office, a list is created of those needing ID verification (a batch). These County lists are combined each day by the Secretary of State. This is then given to their MVA, who submits this “batch” at night to the Social Security Administration (SSA). The results are disseminated back to the original locations.

In 2010, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the SSA released a report about HAVV. Oddly, that 8-person team looked at only one issue and talked with only 10 states. They found that many HAVV requests are resubmissions of the same person, over and over. In some states, 30-70% of all requests were resubmissions. For instance, a 37-year-old Illinois man was verified 342 times on the same day.

In other examples, Ohio submitted the same voter for verification 1,778 times over an 11-day period in 2008. In 2009, they submitted the same person for verification another 13,824 times. That 77-year-old man had been dead for 4 years. The OIG report shows the same person can be processed 10, 30, even 50 times or more each year. Read on to learn why we are mentioning 18-year-old data.

Of the 10 states questioned by the OIG, 6 didn’t know why resubmissions were happening, and didn’t seem to care. Four states indicated that voter verifications were resubmitted automatically when that voter’s info was changed or updated. In 2008, about 32% of all verification transactions processed through HAVV were resubmissions. In 2009, it was about 20%.

After the report, the Social Security Administration stated it wasn’t necessary to create a process that detects or fixes why a person is submitted repeatedly. From what we can tell, not a single improvement has been made to HAVV since that 2010 report. After many unanswered FOIAs, staff at a Secretary of State office in the Midwest said, “We too are curious about HAVV data. It’s run by the DMV and somewhat of a black box to us.” (Read much more: The Gateway Pundit, 2/27/2026)  (Archive)

February 27, 2026 – Bill Clinton pleads ignorance of Epstein crimes during his deposition

Former President Bill Clinton claimed he had “no idea” about the crimes of deceased convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, stating that he “saw nothing” that gave him pause.

In a post on X, the former president shared images of his opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. In his testimony, Clinton pointed out that “as someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse,” he would not have flown on Epstein’s plane if he “had any inkling of what he was doing.”

“I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing,” Clinton said in his testimony. “No matter how many photos you show me, I have two things that at the end of the day matter more than your interpretation of those 2o-year-old photos. I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn’t see. I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn’t do.”

Clinton’s testimony continued:

As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing — I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals.

The former president also stated that Epstein hid his crimes “from everyone so well for so long,” adding that by the time his crimes finally “came to light with his 2008 guilty plea,” he had “long stopped associating with him.”

Clinton’s statement comes a day after former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the House Oversight Committee that she “had no idea about” Epstein’s criminal activities. (Read more: Breitbart News, 2/27/2026)  (Archive)

Former President Bill Clinton released a video statement on his Epstein deposition.

On Friday Bill Clinton testified before the House Oversight Committee on his connections to Jeffrey Epstein from an office in Chappaqua, New York.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told reporters that Bill Clinton testified that to his knowledge President Trump was not involved with Epstein.

“Trump has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved with Epstein,” Comer said.

Fox News also reported that Bill Clinton’s lawyers stepped in several times to stop him from talking too much during the deposition.

February 26, 2026 – How the Biden regime got illegals on commercial flights; legal paperwork of convicted sex offenders was accepted as ID

Thanks to a lawsuit against TSA, disturbing new details are emerging about how illegals without traditional ID were allowed to board commercial flights during the Biden era. And buried inside the paperwork is the detail that has many Americans downright furious.

According to the lawsuit and supporting documents, illegals who were flagged as sex offenders were able to travel by presenting official paperwork related to their sex offender status.

(…) Let’s take a closer look at what the lawsuit uncovered:

Breanna Morello:

🚨FLASHBACK🚨

Ever wondered how TSA was allowing illegal aliens to board commercial flights without IDs under the Biden regime?

Well I sued TSA to find out and learned that Biden’s DHS allowed CONVICTED sex offenders on to flights by showing their sex offender paperwork.

Predators were allowed into the country if they promised to take sexual deviancy counseling and register as a sex offender.

After suing TSA, I won and now the agency is covering my legal fees.

Currently, TSA says they can’t pay my lawyer right now due to the shut down.

The documents obtained through the case help explain what critics are reacting to.

One form, titled Order of Release on Recognizance Addendum, outlines conditions placed on certain noncitizens after processing. Among the listed requirements are provisions related to substance abuse programs, sexual deviancy counseling, and sex offender registration where applicable.

A second document, the Order of Supervision checklist, includes compliance steps for individuals classified under categories such as sex offenders and substance abusers, including notification requirements and proof of counseling.

To critics, the concern is not that these conditions exist. It is that individuals requiring this level of supervision were still able to move through commercial air travel channels at all.

Here are the documents now circulating.

(…) Back in March 2024, the Daily Mail reported that the Biden administration acknowledged transporting migrants on flights into the United States as part of broader immigration processing efforts.

The report noted that hundreds of thousands of migrants were flown to dozens of U.S. airports under programs tied in part to the CBP One app expansion.

Joe Biden’s administration has admitted transporting migrants on secret flights into the U.S. and lawyers for its immigration agencies claim revealing the locations could create national security ‘vulnerabilities’.

Customs and Border Protection has refused to disclose crucial information about a program last year arranging flights for thousands of undocumented immigrants from foreign airports directly to U.S. cities.

It means that while record numbers of migrants were flowing over the southern border last year, the Biden White House was also directly transporting them into the country. Use of a cell phone app has allowed for the near undetected arrival by air of 320,000 aliens with no legal rights to enter the United States. It comes after a controversy over a 2022 transportation program in which the administration used taxpayers money to move migrants throughout the country on overnight flights.

Included in details of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit first reported by Todd Bensman, the Center for Immigration Studies found Biden’s CBP approved the latest secretive flights that transported hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from foreign countries into at least 43 different American airports from January through December 2023.

The program was part of Biden’s expansion of the CBP One app, which kicked off at the start of last year.

Migrants were able, under Biden’s expansion, to apply for asylum using the app from their home countries. But the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) notes that the transportation of these migrants directly to the U.S. is one of the lesser known uses of the app.

The Biden regime had the audacity to say these programs were lawful processing mechanisms designed to manage migration flows more efficiently.

So, bringing in known sex offenders and flying them around the country is standard operating procedure?

Now that these older posts are making the rounds again, people are zeroing in on the massive price tag for the flights and where many of these arrivals were actually sent.

February 28, 2026 – President Trump announces major US military combat operations in Iran

The United States together with the State of Israel have begun major military combat operations against Iran.  Early reports indicate several top Iranian military leaders have been killed.  President Trump made the announcement moments ago (video below):

According to the Associated Press (AP) “The U.S. strikes took place from both air and sea, according to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing military operations.”

Associated Press – Live Reports:

The United States and Israel launched an attack Saturday on Iran, with the first apparent strike happening near the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iranian media reported strikes nationwide, and smoke could be seen rising from the capital.

President Donald Trump said in a video posted on social media that the U.S. had begun “major combat operations in Iran.” He claimed Iran has continued to develop its nuclear program and plans to develop missiles to reach U.S. (Live Reports)

February 28, 2026 – Highlights of Trump’s liberation of Iran

How many times do we have to go through this before people recognize that Trump actually knows what he is doing?

Trump is eliminating the Deep State’s militaristic capabilities worldwide.

Iran, and their terror proxies in the Middle East, are being purged. The cartels, and their terrorist organizations in the Western Hemisphere, are being purged.

Trump has been telling us for years that he is going to “obliterate” the Deep State, and that’s what he is doing. Trump has to eliminate the Deep State’s foot soldiers. The cartels and Islamic terror networks, are assets of the Deep State, that threaten the safety of everyone, and Trump knows they must be destroyed.

Iran was also the vehicle for Obama to offshore nuclear weapons directly into the hands of the ruling families. The regime must be removed and Iran returned to her People.

You want to live in a word free of the Deep State? That’s exactly what Trump is doing. It’s not always going to be sunshine and rainbows, but it must be done.

There will be no broader escalation. There will be no prolonged conflict. This will be a surgical military operation, just like everything else Trump does.

Trust Trump. He has earned it.

So many talking heads and clickbait influencers continue to get all their analysis wrong, because they don’t understand Trump or his mission.

They assume Trump is like other Presidents of the past. This is a mistake.

Trump is legitimately on a mission to destroy the Deep State, and defeat is not an option. Once you begin looking through this lens, things start making sense, and pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place.

So many people are trying to solve an extremely complex equation, with incorrect variables. Until you recognize that Trump is the real deal and is actually doing what he said he would do, your analysis will continue to be wrong.

Update:

Unfortunately, CENTCOM reported that we suffered 3 deaths to US service members, NBC News reported the deaths happened in Kuwait, but still waiting to hear more details.

Trump confirms we are eradicating the Iranian Navy and Israel confirms we have established air superiority over Iran’s airspace.

Trump also confirmed that Iran’s remaining leadership want to negotiate, but expect the strikes on IRGC assets and capabilities to continue regardless. Trump is going to completely wipe out Iran’s offensive and defensive capabilities for the foreseeable future.

Saudi Arabia also confirmed they are willing to respond to Iran’s attacks on Riyadh.

The operation is not over, and our armed forces are still in harm’s way, but the IRGC have no path to victory, they have confirmed they are the terrorist state preventing peace in the Middle East, and the world has turned on them.

China and Russia stood down.

I believe Xi and Putin had to be somewhat in the loop on the situation via back channels. Trump must have secured complete assurances that there would be no interference or escalation, prior to any action.

Trump just had a “very positive” phone call with Xi on February 4th, in which they did discuss global military conflicts, including Iran, as well as trade/economic cooperation, and Trump confirmed he will be visiting China from March 31-April 2.

I think a backdoor agreement has already been made, and both Xi and Putin agreed Khamenei and the radical Islamic regime must go. There’s no other way this could have been pulled off. It would have been too substantial a risk to both national and global security for Trump to do this blindly.

Trump has the board secure.

Trump made a deal with nearly all the nations of the Middle East and the Muslim world, to bring peace to the region.

Peace in the region could never be accomplished so long as the Iranian regime and their terror proxies exist, so Trump is eliminating the problem, and paving the way for a stable and peaceful Middle East.

Now take it 40,000 feet. The CIA has been cleansed, strings have been cut, and Deep State destabilization of the Middle East is coming to a close. Trump is eliminating Deep State assets in the region, meaning Khamenei’s radical Islamic regime and their terror proxies like Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas, etc.

Trump is undoing decades of CIA meddling and purging Deep State assets worldwide. Iran and their terror proxies in the Middle East, and the drug cartels in the Western Hemisphere.

Without these rogue assets and Deep State tentacles intentionally destabilizing these regions, the world will be free to move forward into a new era of peace.

It’s actually happening.

March 1, 2026 – How many children questioning their gender are on psychiatric drug “treatments?”

AbleChild can’t help but wonder why transgender individuals commit a disproportionate share of mass shooting attacks, and whether these attacks have anything to do with being prescribed mind-altering psychiatric drugs along with drugs associated with the transition process.

According to a recent study conducted by the Crime Prevention and Research Center (CPRC) between 2018 and 2024 attacks by transgender shooters was “at least 12 times their share of the population” in 2024.  Regardless of how the data is interpreted, the report makes it clear that transgender individuals commit these attacks at disproportionately high rates.

CPRC reports that “using only the FBI data over the entire period (2018-2024), transgender individuals commit active shooting attacks at 3.4 times their share of the population…” And the CPRC concludes that regardless of how the data is measured, “active shooting attacks committed by transgender individuals is becoming a serious problem.” Why? What is happening within the statistically small transgender community that is causing them to account for such a large portion of the deadly attacks?

The Uniformed Services University (USU) conducted a study in 2021 that asked whether transgender and gender-divers (TGD) adolescents experience increased mental health risk compared to non-transgender peers. The study concluded that TGD adolescents “were more likely to have a mental health diagnosis, use more mental healthcare services, and be prescribed more psychotropic medications compared to siblings.” The study also found that “among the 963 TGD youth using gender-affirming pharmaceuticals, mental healthcare did not significantly change, and psychotropic medications increased following gender-affirming pharmaceutical initiation.”

Given the lack of peer-reviewed articles about the violence that is being reported within the transgender community, it seems important to ask detailed questions that may help the public understand the increased violence. For example, one might want to know how many children were diagnosed with an alleged mental disorder and prescribed psychiatric drug “treatments” prior to ever questioning their birth gender.

Other questions might include, how many children questioning their birth gender are on psychiatric drug “treatments” when they make transition inquiries. And, one might also want to know, once the transition begins, how many of these children remain on the psychiatric drug “treatments,” while at the same time adding transition therapy drugs to their current drug cocktail.

These are important questions and would not only benefit those going through a gender crisis and who may be experiencing violent thoughts, but it would benefit the public to understand why there is an increase in transgender mass shootings.

There are too many transgender murders to list them all, but the public will remember Audrey Hale who killed six at The Covenant School in Nashville, TN, Robin Westman killed two and injured 17 at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN, Robert Dorgan killed three at a skating rink in Pawtucket, RI and Jesse Van Rootselaar who killed eight in Tumbler Ridge BC. It is also a fact that all the above had long histories of mental health care and were being “treated” with psychotropic drugs.

Here’s the question. It must be asked. Is it possible that the mind-altering drugs that are being prescribed can cause people to believe they are a different gender? Furthermore, is it possible that these people, already on a cocktail of mind-altering drugs for a host of alleged mental disorders, are experiencing drug induced violent behavior? Afterall, the known possible side effects of psychiatric drugs alone could make one become violent. Then, add the transition therapies and suddenly there’s a problem.

March 2, 2026 – The Final Reckoning: Dismantling the Democrat Axis of Weakness and Evil

The Final Reckoning: Dismantling the Democrat Axis of Weakness and Evil

The current kinetic reality in the Middle East is the long-overdue correction for decades of Democrat-led betrayal. While the left wing of our political class spent years engaging in a fetish for de-escalation, they effectively subsidized the most prolific state sponsor of terrorism on the planet. The strikes currently raining down upon Tehran are not mere tactical maneuvers; they are the righteous dismantling of a theocratic monster that was hand-fed by the Obama and Biden administrations. For decades, the Democrat party has operated as the unofficial legal and financial counsel for the Iranian regime, shipping pallets of cash to a government that begins its day by chanting for the destruction of our Republic.

The blood on Iranian hands is, by extension, on the hands of every leftist bureaucrat who advocated for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Under the Biden administration alone, Iran’s oil exports surged from approximately 400,000 barrels per day in 2020 to over 1.5 million barrels per day by 2024. This resulted in an estimated $100 billion in additional revenue for a regime that uses every cent to fund the slaughter of Americans and Israelis. This was not a mistake; it was a deliberate act of economic enabling. The Democrats are a collection of high-functioning subversives who prefer the stability of a radical caliphate to the dominance of American interests. They watched as Iran enriched uranium to 60% purity, a stone’s throw from the 90% required for a nuclear warhead, and responded with polite memos and sanctions waivers.

Avenging the Fallen and Securing the Ally
We are finally holding the mullahs accountable for a 1,400-year history of jihad and a 40-year history of American casualties. From the 241 heroes lost in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing to the over 600 American soldiers killed by Iranian-backed IEDs in Iraq, the bill has come due. The left views these sacrifices as “sunk costs” in their pursuit of a globalist utopia, but real patriots understand that deterrence is bought with the credible threat of annihilation. By standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel, our frontline defender, we are preserving the only beacon of civilization in a region of shadows. Israel absorbs the rockets of Hamas and Hezbollah so that we do not have to fight them on our own streets, yet the American left treats our greatest ally like a pariah. They are more concerned with the feelings of radical insurgents than the safety of the Jewish state.

This operation is the ultimate exercise in smart power projection. Iran has become the primary hangar for Russia’s drone program and the gas station for China’s industrial machine. By vaporizing their missile factories and neutralizing their navy, we are simultaneously crippling Putin’s logistics in Ukraine and Xi’s energy security. The Democrats, in their infinite cowardice, feared that “provoking” Iran would lead to a wider war. In reality, their weakness invited it. Strength is the only language understood by the mullahs, the Kremlin, and the CCP. When the United States strikes Tehran, the world learns that the era of managed decline is over.

Furthermore, we are doing for the Iranian people what the “human rights” obsessed left never had the courage to do. The mullahs are a parasitic elite that murders women for improper dress and hangs dissidents from cranes. The left, which claims to champion women’s rights at home, remains conspicuously silent when those same rights are crushed by Islamist thugs abroad. By destroying the regime’s military infrastructure, we are providing the brave Iranian resistance with the oxygen they need to topple their oppressors. This is the Middle East edition of tearing down the Berlin Wall, a moment of moral clarity that the morally bankrupt Democrat party simply cannot comprehend.

Securing the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s petroleum flows, is an act of economic survival for the American worker. We will no longer allow radical clerics to hold our gas prices and our jobs hostage. While the left tries to force us into a future of unreliable “green” energy and dependency on Chinese batteries, we are securing the fossil fuels that keep the West alive. This is the conservative mandate: protect the border, protect the ally, and destroy the enemy. The Democrat party has proven it is incapable of all three. They are a party of surrender, a coalition of the weak and the wicked who have spent their lives trying to apologize for American greatness. That apology tour has ended in fire and steel.

March 3, 2026 – A new lawfare nonprofit, the Washington Litigation Group, founded by Jack Smith’s partner in crime James Pearce, is created to get Trump

James Pearce (Credit: LinkedIn)

Mike Feinberg left the FBI after his ties to Peter Strzok were discovered, following Kash Patel’s appointment as director.

On Comey leaker Ben Wittes’ podcast, Mike discussed how several of his close friends at the FBI were recently fired for their roles in Jack Smith’s election interference cases.

They also discussed how several large law firms are avoiding pro bono work. Two firms that are stepping up are Jenner & Block (where Andrew Weissmann helped lead the sham J6 Committee “investigations”) and Covington & Burling (a prominent member of the lawfare wing of Democracy Inc.).

They mentioned that a new lawfare nonprofit, the Washington Litigation Group, was created to take on the Trump administration. It was founded by Jack Smith’s partner in crime, James Pearce.

Peter Strzok’s best friend, Mike Feinberg, says people are leaving the FBI because they are being asked to do illegal and immoral things. He also said that some FBI agent quit because the FBI aren’t the good guys anymore.

To put this in context, think of all of the crimes that the FBI has committed since 2016 (including by Peter Strzok) and what they did to the J6ers.

March 4, 2026 – Democrat tells Angel Families: Sorry for your loss, but Americans are more violent than illegal aliens

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) told Angel Families who were present in the audience that he was “sorry,” but that Americans are more likely to be murdered by fellow Americans than illegal aliens.

“For the folks that are here and your families, I’m sorry. It’s terrible what happened to your children and family members, but they are more likely, American citizens are more likely to be attacked by United States citizens who are not undocumented who came here and who were born here,” Cohen told Angel Families. “[Americans] are more likely to commit these crimes.”

Several Angel Families, whose loved ones have been murdered by illegal aliens, sat behind Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Kristi Noem as she faced the committee.

Following Cohen’s comments, officials at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) responded, calling the statement “reprehensible.”

“Rep. Cohen pointing to Angel Families in the audience: ‘I’m sorry for what happened to your loved ones, BUT…’ There is no ‘but,’ Rep. Cohen. Your comments here are reprehensible,” ICE officials wrote on X.

March 4, 2026 – Trump’s attack on Iran will also neuter the NGO-Administrative Complex that backs the “rules-based liberal international order”

Must read article by @DataRepublican!

The most accurate and concise explanation I’ve seen on the Iran conflict and the NGO complex. This part left me speechless:

“This is why the establishment’s condemnation of the Iran strikes is so disproportionate to the event. They are not mourning Khamenei. They are recognizing, with alarm, what Trump is actually doing. The regime change Trump is attempting is not Iran’s. It is theirs.

Every act that reasserts American sovereignty—on Iran, on trade, on immigration, on energy—is an act of regime change against the supranational order that has governed American life, foreign and domestic, for at least 70 years. The strikes on Khamenei’s compound are a demonstration that a sovereign nation, acting in its own interest, does not need institutional permission. The Trump Administration just showed that the veto the multilateral order spent decades embedding into American foreign policy—through think tanks, through NGOs, through carefully managed BRICS adversaries—can simply be ignored.

This is how the NGO-Administrative Complex dies. One sovereign act at a time.”

March 4, 2026 – Tim Walz and Keith Ellison testify to House Oversight Committee on welfare fraud in Minnesota

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison will testify today in a House Oversight Committee hearing on the massive amount of welfare fraud in the state.

The hearing, entitled “Oversight of Fraud and Misuse of Federal Funds in Minnesota: Part II,” will allow lawmakers to examine Walz and Ellison’s role in covering up the billions of dollars in fraud involving federal funds in their state.

“As fraudsters looted billions of taxpayer dollars from Minnesota’s social programs, state lawmakers recently testified that Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison ignored repeated warnings and retaliated against state employees who raised concerns. The American people deserve clear answers about how such widespread fraud was allowed to flourish under their watch,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said in a statement.

“While the Department of Justice continues to investigate, prosecute, and charge those responsible, Congress also has a duty to conduct rigorous oversight of this heist and enact stronger safeguards to prevent fraud in taxpayer-funded social programs. We look forward to questioning Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison under oath to ensure transparency and accountability for the American people and to consider meaningful reforms that prevent waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer funds.”

The billions of dollars stolen in Somali fraud schemes involving Minnesota daycare centers received national attention from investigating journalist Nick Shirley’s exposé late last year. It was also recently revealed that Somali fraudsters have transported nearly $1 billion in bulk cash through the Minneapolis airport alone to Somalia since 2024.

Trump has accused the Somali community in Minnesota of pillaging “an estimated $19 billion from the American taxpayer.”

“We have all the information, and in actuality, the number is much higher than that,” Trump said during his State of the Union Address.

March 5, 2026 – Congress votes to bury their own sexual harassment files and the slush fund used to payoff their victims

March 6, 2026 – Virginia Democrats will require their public schools to teach Jan. 6th as an “insurrection”

Virginia Democrats are moving to require teachers to tell students that Jan. 6th was an “insurrection” and effectively bar them from referencing “peaceful protests” or election irregularities. The characterization of the riot as an insurrection is historically and legally false. However, any parents who want to send their children to Virginia public schools would have to accept this form of indoctrination as part of their children’s education.

In the last election, Democrats campaigned as moderates, including Abigail Spanberger. Once in control of the Governor’s mansion and the legislature, however, they have moved quickly to the far left in a flurry of measures. Democratic legislators just voted themselves almost a 300% increase in salaries.  They will need it. They are moving to increase taxes on ride shares, concerts, counseling, leaf blowers, Amazon deliveries, DoorDash, Uber Eats, ammunition, and other areas.

However, HB 333, drafted by Del. Dan I. Helmer of Fairfax, raises serious concerns over academic freedom and free speech.

The summary of the bill mandates “a program of instruction on or relating to the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the United States Capitol” and further:

“prohibits any such program of instruction, any accompanying curriculum or instructional materials, or any instruction provided by a teacher as a part of such program of instruction from (i) describing, portraying, or presenting as credible a description or portrayal of the actions precipitating or involved in the January 6, 2021, insurrection as peaceful protest or (ii) stating, suggesting, or presenting as credible a statement or suggestion that there was extensive election fraud that could have changed or actually changed the results of the 2020 presidential election. The bill requires any such program of instruction, any accompanying curriculum or instructional materials, or any instruction provided by a teacher as a part of such program of instruction to describe the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the United States Capitol as an unprecedented, violent attack on U.S. democratic institutions, infrastructure, and representatives for the purpose of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election.”

Soon after Jan. 6th, I condemned the riot but rejected the argument that this was an insurrection. However, it soon became part of an orthodoxy in politics and academia despite the fact that the public rejected it. As former House Speaker Pelosi declared, “It is essential that we preserve the narrative of January 6th.”

Yet, “insurrection” and “sedition” are legal terms. They have a meaning. The FBI investigated thousands after January 6th and charged hundreds. Not one was charged with insurrection or conspiracy to overthrow the country. The vast majority are charged with relatively minor offenses of trespass or unlawful entry or property damage- the type of charges that are common in protests and riots.

Indeed, the Supreme Court effectively reduced many of the charges to mere trespass in later litigation, rejecting obstruction claims.

Faced with a collapsing historical and legal narrative, Democrats are now moving to simply indoctrinate students that this was an “insurrection.” (Johnathan Turley, 3/6/2026)

March 6, 2026 – Matt Taibbi: The FBI’s Secret Stash Finally Uncovered

For a generation, the FBI has kept a second set of books called ‘prohibited access’ files. After a long fight, they’re finally being examined.

A Federal Bureau of Investigation task force has begun excavating the separate set of books FBI keeps using an inaccessible “prohibited access” file designation, according to multiple government sources. Though an internal fight over how to handle the files continues, embattled FBI Director Kash Patel has assigned personnel to examine decades of hidden history, Racket News has learned, with some files already turned over to Congress.

“This is it — the deep state,” one of the sources said.

Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, whose work with whistleblowers and pressure across years was key to prying prohibited access files loose, expressed cautious optimism.

“If it weren’t for whistleblower disclosures to my office, the very existence of the FBI using ‘Prohibited Access’ files for some investigations would have remained in the dark,” he said. “I’ve asked Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel to turn over certain Prohibited Access records to Congress. I’ve received some, but am still waiting on others. I urge the DOJ and FBI to keep digging – which previous administrations apparently didn’t make any effort to do – so that the facts can come to light. The FBI’s secret stash of records is scandalous.”

Files given a prohibited access designation are not merely secret. They are “ghosts” which “do not exist,” records rigged to return false negatives when searched for in the FBI’s SENTINEL system. They’re digital descendants of paper records that as far back as Richard Nixon’s presidency were kept in locked offices, accessible to just a few officials, typically at the deputy director level and above. Currently, the number of people with the ability to access the files can be counted on one hand.

The implications of the nation’s chief federal law enforcement and counter-intelligence organization having kept a separate, non-searchable filing system are mind-boggling.

“It’s not like turning over a rock and finding a few bugs,” said retired FBI Supervisory Analyst George Hill. “It’s like turning over a manhole and finding a whole city.”

“You don’t run a Constitutional republic on secret files,” added legal analyst Margot Cleveland.

A current government source said the prohibited access designation is “literally designed to hide files from Congress and from the FBI itself. It’s really frigging bad.”

Off-books surveillance and “disruption” of political figures in the Arctic Frost and Trump-Russia investigations comprise part of the find, but the files extend at least as far back as 1999, across Democratic and Republican Party presidencies, involving as many as a thousand distinct case numbers. There are no rules for passing access to the system from one administration to the next. Instead, operation of prohibited access files is described as an oral tradition passed down among senior FBI officials, independent of agents below and political appointees above in Congress and even the White House.

Here’s how the files came to light: (Read more: Matt Taibbi/Racket News, 3/6/2026)  (Archive)

March 7-8, 2026 – IEDs are thrown at NYC protest near Gracie Mansion, two teens arrested; FBI raids suspects family homes in PA, linked to foreign radical networks

Federal authorities launched court-ordered raids in Pennsylvania after a violent protest in New York City escalated into a potential terror incident involving improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

This comes just one day after two teenage Muslim extremists hurled improvised explosive devices (IEDs) during a protest outside the mayor’s residence at Gracie Mansion in Manhattan.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the chaos unfolded on Saturday when 18-year-old Amir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Nick, allegedly launched homemade bombs during an anti-Islam protest organized by former January 6 political prisoner Jake Lang, who was pardoned by President Trump last year.

According to the New York Post, authorities said the homemade device was constructed using sports drink bottles packed with triacetone triperoxide (TATP)—a highly unstable explosive widely favored by terrorists and often referred to as the “Mother of Satan.”

Due to its extreme volatility, officials noted that TATP can detonate with minimal disturbance and typically does not require a fuse to explode.

Miraculously, the device failed to detonate. Had it exploded, officials say it could have killed or severely injured people in the crowd.

The explosive device itself is being analyzed at the FBI laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, where specialists are working to determine its exact composition and origin.

Video footage captured the second suspect, Ibrahim Nick, screaming “Allahu Akbar!” as he was arrested outside Gracie Mansion, the residence of far-left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced the arrests of Balat and Nick, along with four other unidentified counter-protesters from the pro-Islam side.

“The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday and has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb. It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death.

Further analysis will be conducted, including on a second device.

Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi were arrested on scene yesterday and are in custody in connection with this matter. The NYPD is working on this investigation with our partners at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the FBI through our Joint Terrorism Task Force.

I want to again thank the brave members of the NYPD who ran towards the danger without hesitation and quickly apprehended the suspects.”

But now, federal authorities are digging deeper, revealing that these aren’t just misguided kids, they’re part of a broader network with alarming links to foreign radicals.

Fox 29 reported:

The FBI and local police are investigating two Bucks County homes Sunday afternoon in connection with protests in New York City on Saturday where two people were arrested for allegedly trying to set off improvised explosive devices.

Officials are serving warrants at two homes in Bucks County — one near Durham Road and Frosty Hollow Road in Middletown Township, the other near Stoopville Road and Clymer Street in Newtown Township.

Officials said there was no threat to the public at either location, but asked that people stay away from the areas while teams investigated.

Law-enforcement sources say both suspects had become self-radicalized in recent years and had consumed extremist propaganda online.

Investigators believe the pair also traveled internationally, including trips to Turkey and other regions that have historically served as transit points for jihadist networks. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 3/9/2026)  (Archive)

Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are.

What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are.

I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day.

My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our Police Commissioner.

News about the attempted terror attack that took place in New York over the weekend keeps coming. We learned about the families of Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18 earlier. Kayumi’s parents own a 5,800 square foot home in Pennsylvania and are naturalized citizens from Afghanistan while Balat’s parents come from Turkey and they were naturalized in 2017.

Now we know what charges the pair are facing, and we’re learning of a startling admission about their intent. First, we’ll get to the charges.

According to CNN, Kayumi and Balat are both facing charges of providing material support to a terrorist organization and using a weapon of mass destruction.

(…) Fox News also shared details of the complaint: “More specifically, Balat wrote on a piece of paper that he ‘pledge[d] allegiance to the Islamic state’ and Kayumi stated, in substance and in part, that he was affiliated with ISIS; watched ISIS propaganda on his phone; and was partly inspired to carry out his actions that day by ISIS.”

March 9, 2026 – CIA faces backlash after hidden document with potential cure for cancer is declassified after 60 years

A newly surfaced CIA document suggests US intelligence once reviewed research that hinted at a possible cancer treatment more than 60 years ago.

The document, produced in February 1951 and declassified in 2014, summarizes a Soviet scientific paper that examined striking similarities between parasitic worms and cancerous tumors.

The report describes how researchers believed both organisms thrived under nearly identical metabolic conditions and accumulated large reserves of glycogen, a form of stored energy.

The research also highlighted experiments showing that certain chemical compounds were capable of targeting both parasitic infections and malignant tumors.

One drug, Myracyl D, was reportedly effective against bilharzia parasites as well as cancerous growths, hinting that treatments developed for parasites might also attack tumors.

Other compounds were found to interfere with nucleic acid production, a process essential for the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.

Experiments on mice even showed that tumor tissues reacted differently to certain chemicals than normal tissues, further reinforcing the perceived biochemical overlap between parasites and cancers.

Although the document was declassified more than a decade ago, it has recently resurfaced online, fueling outrage among some Americans who say it raises troubling questions about why Cold War research hinting at possible cancer treatments sat in intelligence archives for decades.

‘The Americans knew. They read it, classified it CONFIDENTIAL, and locked it in a vault for 60 years,’ one person shared on X, including the CIA documents in the post.

Another X user said: ‘The CIA knew from 1951 that cancer was parasites.’

However, the document itself does not say cancer is caused by parasites, only that a Soviet study noted biochemical similarities between tumors and parasitic worms and observed that some compounds affected both in experiments.

Daily Mail has contacted the CIA for comment.

The CIA document was based on a 1950 article published in the Soviet scientific journal Priroda by Professor V V Alpatov, a researcher studying the biochemical behavior of endoparasites, organisms that live inside the body of a host.

American intelligence analysts translated and circulated the paper because it was considered potentially relevant to biomedical and national defense research during the early years of the Cold War.

According to the Soviet research summarized in the report, one of the most striking similarities between parasitic worms and cancer cells was their metabolism.

Parasitic worms that inhabit the human intestine rely heavily on anaerobic metabolism, meaning they generate energy without requiring large amounts of oxygen.

March 9, 2026 – Trump targeted by four FBI code-named counterintel probes that ensnared hundreds of Americans

(Credit: Wikipedia)

President Donald Trump and his supporters were targeted by four consecutive FBI code-named counterintelligence investigations over the last decade that secretly subjected hundreds of innocent Americans to privacy-invading tactics and essentially treated the man twice elected president as a national security threat for most of the first nine years of his political career, according to interviews and documents reviewed by Just the News.

FBI Director Kash Patel has personally led the effort to review the operations code-named Crossfire Hurricane, Round River, Plasmic Echo and Arctic Frost that stretched from summer 2016 to January 2025, uncovering evidence of a far-reaching dragnet that in some cases may have been predicated on false, misleading or uncorroborated justifications, officials said.

Many of the investigative files were hidden from view, even from most FBI agents, because they were marked “prohibited access” and controlled carefully by FBI leadership.

Patel’s search has been aided by whistleblowers inside his agency, a handful of senior bureau executives close to the director and some members of Congress, particularly Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

FBI’s work hijacked by politics, invading citizens’ privacy

Those who have seen the records told Just the News they chronicle how the FBI’s expanded counterterrorism and counterintelligence missions after the Sept, 11, 2001, terrorist attacks eventually became hijacked by politics and led agents to deploy tools meant for terrorists and spies against everyday Americans in a bid to find a way to bring criminal cases against Trump.

One whistleblower this month told the FBI that surveillance and monitoring of Trump figures continued right up to the president’s January 2025 inauguration, according to multiple interviews.

Few inside Trump’s orbit were spared from targeting by their stature: a dozen members of Congress and their staffers, his future chief of staff Susie Wiles, journalists, campaign advisers, defense lawyers, and even Patel himself had their privacy pierced by warrants, wiretaps, FISA surveillance, phone record analysis, FBI assessments, or grand juries.

Many targets and subjects fell under the bureau’s definition of special circumstances targets because they have recognized constitutionally protected privileges – like lawyers, members of Congress, journalists, and political figures.

Even a political consultant turned documentary filmmaker who investigated Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings before joining Trump’s 2024 campaign was recently notified he was targeted in a criminal investigation that only recently was shut down, according to letters between Congress and the FBI reviewed by Just the News.

Michael Caputo had his emails and communications seized in 2023 by a “classified subpoena” issued about two weeks after he joined the Trump campaign and the email account the bureau penetrated “contained correspondence on The Trump Campaign’s private strategies and deliberations,” the correspondence stated.

Patel’s FBI has informed Congress that probe has been shut down. But the question of how so many Americans were targeted remains open.

At least 1,200 people that fall into the categories of special circumstances targets or subject were investigated under assessments by the FBI between 2018 and 2024 during Wray’s tenure, an explosive recent audit report to Congress revealed.

March 8, 2026 – Newly released body cam footage proves The Institute of Peace refused to allow government employees to enter and shut it down

Employees from the Institute of Peace attempt to block government employees from entry when they arrived to shut it down. (Credit: public domain)

In early May 2025, we learned from a FOX interview with Elon Musk and Big Balls that the Institute of Peace had nothing to do with peace. DOGE went into the office that housed the institute and found government waste, loaded weapons, and employees that tried to destroy data before they entered.

This newly released body cam footage from the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace shows the insane resistance the Trump team faced from day one.

As Edward Coristine (aka Big Balls) told Jesse Watters last year, this was the “least peaceful” of all the agencies to deal with, and that it used taxpayer funds for private jets, an armory filled with weapons, and contracts with the former members of the Taliban (!!)

These are grown adults in full meltdown mode because they realized the gravy train was coming to an end. They referred to lawful orders as “jackbooted police state actions” while refusing to vacate the premises after President Trump issued an order firing them and sending in his DOGE team to clean house.

What you see in this video isn’t democracy, it’s an insight into how wild and entitled the DC swamp had grown.

Even the officers who were on the scene to ensure order became impatient after realizing these defiant bureaucrats weren’t even USIP employees when one said, “we’re their lawyers” who were trying to regain access to “classified information” pertaining to “other cases” outside of USIP’s purview.

George Foote, one of the lawyers there, even pushed to have Trump officials arrested as “unauthorized intruders.”

Elon Musk later revealed on X that USIP’s chief accountant attempted to wipe over a terabyte of financial data in a desperate cover-up – but DOGE recovered it, and it’s now with the DOJ for review.

Unelected ideologues fleecing taxpayer dollars shouldn’t block the people’s choice. This is what draining the swamp looks like, and it’s horrifying just how out of control it had all become.

March 9, 2026 – Cops swarm Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro ranch to search for bodies of two girls strangled during rough sex sessions

The sad story of at least two girls killed during rough sex sessions at Jeffrey Epstein’s remote New Mexico ranch is closer to being told, following a massive police swoop on the 7,500 acre property.

For years talk of the deaths has swirled around Zorro Ranch in the tiny town of Stanley, 30 miles south of the state capital, Santa Fe – but the identities of the girls have never been known.

Now, law enforcement is confident it can find the bodies if they exist and put names to the dead girls.

Agents from the state Department of Justice, along with police and the local sheriff’s office, started the search on Monday and continued into Tuesday.

The investigation is running in parallel to a truth commission that was unanimously set up by local lawmakers last month to try to find out exactly what went on at Zorro.

‘We have heard years of allegations and rumors about Epstein’s activities in New Mexico, but unfortunately, federal investigations have failed to put together an official record,’ said State Representative Andrea Romero, who led the fight to establish the commission, and is one of its four members.

‘With this truth commission, we can finally fill in the gaps by investigating the failures that led to the horrific allegations of abuse and crime at Zorro Ranch, so we can learn from them and prevent such atrocities from taking place in our state going forward.’

The operation began just the day after hundreds of protesters gathered at the ranch, now renamed Rancho de San Rafael by its new owner. (Read more: Daily Mail, 3/10/2026)  (Archive)

March 10, 2026 – DC Bar Counsel initiates formal disciplinary proceedings against Ed Martin, leader of the Weaponization Working Group within the DOJ

The same DC Bar that is now trying to disbar Ed Martin for carrying out the president’s executive orders did not disbar Kevin Clinesmith, the man who literally fabricated evidence to secure a spy warrant on the Trump campaign.

We all know that the DC Bar is thoroughly corrupt (as are the DC courts) but there are ways to make them pay. Haul them before Congress, not because it will achieve anything, but to tie them down and force them to spend huge sums. Hit them with legal actions, drain their resources, and exploit every procedural lever to make their lives difficult. There needs to be far more outside-the-box thinking on these matters.

March 10, 2026 – “Hero” police officer on Hakeem Jeffries’ Jan. 6 memorial plaque placed in the Capitol, is indicted on 9 felony counts including abduction, drugging and rape

(Credit: The Gateway Pundit)

A former Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officer, hailed as a “hero” on a controversial Capitol plaque honoring law enforcement’s response to the January 6, 2021 protests, has been slapped with a superseding indictment on multiple felony counts, including rape, sodomy, and abduction.

Timothy Valentin is currently sitting behind bars facing a mountain of felony charges.

Timothy Valentin is among the officers whose names appear on the controversial January 6 memorial plaques shoved down America’s throat by radical Democrats.

This is the same plaque pushed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and his cronies, all while they continue to demonize peaceful Trump supporters as “domestic terrorists.”

March 10, 2026 – Left-wing activists are training juries to sabotage Trump DOJ cases

 

Last month, Townhall reported how a Left-wing activist group in Minnesota was advising citizens how to “resist” federal immigration laws by providing jury nullification training. That group, Defend612 seeks to “support resistance to the ICE occupation in Minneapolis” and ran two virtual sessions titled “The People’s Pardon or Jury Nullification” at the end of February.

It seems this push to undermine our judicial system and the Trump administration is spreading, with reports that a Leftist activist group is doing the same thing in the Washington D.C. area and in other places across the country.

Here’s more:

A left-wing activist group is teaching liberals in Washington, D.C., and “across the United States” how to increase their chances of serving as jurors on cases brought by the Trump Department of Justice so they can undermine its chances of securing convictions, training materials reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show.

Freedom Trainers, whose fiscal sponsor is the George Soros-funded group Community Change, is working to make “jury nullification”—the practice of voting against a conviction even if the defendant broke the law—a go-to legal weapon for the Left. Its sessions and training materials, reviewed by the Free Beacon, show how the group teaches “committed people” to gum up federal prosecutions.

The group tells attendees to keep their addresses current to ensure they receive summons. Then, during the jury selection process, it advises them to “Never mention jury nullification,” “Don’t signal an agenda,” and “say you’ll listen to the evidence before forming conclusions.” Once selected, the group tells its trainees to vote “not guilty” for any reason.

There is no institution the Left won’t destroy in order to “resist” President Trump and Republicans. Of course, this can backfire on them in many ways, including leading to mistrials and legal consequences for jurors who misrepresent themselves during jury selection.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s security officer was fatally shot by Dallas SWAT officers this week.

The security officer, Mike King, was a fugitive after impersonating a law enforcement officer.

King was killed in his garage during a standoff with Dallas SWAT officers on Wednesday night.

According to CBS News, he drove a “replica undercover police vehicle” with license plates “stolen from cars outside a military recruiting office.”

King reportedly has an extensive criminal history.

March 11, 2026 – Why are important Bills passed by the House and then languish in the Senate, while both are controlled by Republicans?

Let’s talk about the real obstruction in Washington right now.

Not the Democrats.
Not the media.

It’s the Republican Senate leadership slow-walking President Donald Trump’s agenda.

And the man holding the gavel is @LeaderJohnThune.

Thune is 64 years old.
He has spent nearly three decades in Washington.

And right now, under his leadership, the Senate has become a graveyard for Trump-backed legislation passed by the House.

Bills that the American people demanded.
Bills that House Republicans delivered.

Bills that the Senate has sat on for over a year.

Let’s look at the receipts.

430+ DAYS gathering dust in the Senate:

• SAVE Act (H.R. 22) — Proof of citizenship to vote. Introduced Jan. 3, 2025. Still sitting. (~430+ days)

• Halt All Lethal Trafficking of Fentanyl Act (H.R. 27) — Crush fentanyl trafficking. (~430+ days)

• Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act (H.R. 28) — Keep men out of women’s sports. (~430+ days)

• Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act — Require medical care for babies born alive after abortion attempts. (~430+ days)

• Action Versus No Action Act (H.R. 184) — Speed up forest management and energy development. (~430+ days)

• Multiple border security and energy protection bills from early 2025. (~430+ days)

More bills rotting in Senate limbo:

• Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405) — Release Epstein-related records. (~300+ days)

• Clear Skies Act (H.R. 4403) — Energy and environmental deregulation. (~300+ days)

• Tribal Trust Land Homeownership reforms — (~300+ days)

• BOWOW Act of 2025 (H.R. 4638) — (~250+ days)

• Stop the Sexualization of Children Act (H.R. 7661) — (~200+ days)

• Deporting Fraudsters Act of 2026 (H.R. 1958) — (~200+ days)

• DHS funding / border security bills for 2026 — sitting unfinished. (~200+ days)

• Wintergreen Emergency Egress Act (H.R. 6365) — (~100+ days)

• Housing for the 21st Century Act (H.R. 6644) — (~90-100 days)

And now the big one:

SAVE America Act (H.R. 7296)
Passed the House Feb. 11, 2026 (218-213).

Trump’s top legislative priority right now.

Proof of citizenship to vote.
Photo ID requirements.
Protections for women’s sports.
Restrictions on transgender procedures for minors.
Limits on mass mail-in voting loopholes.

And what has the Senate done?

Nothing.

About 40 days and counting.

Meanwhile President Trump has made it crystal clear:

No signatures on other legislation until the SAVE America Act moves.

Because Trump understands something Senate Republicans apparently don’t:

If elections aren’t secure, none of the rest of this matters.

So the question for @LeaderJohnThune and Senate Republicans is simple:

Why are House-passed bills sitting for 430+ days?

Why is the Senate slow-walking the very agenda voters elected Trump to deliver?

Why does the Republican Senate look like a bureaucratic parking lot instead of a legislative engine?

At some point, excuses run out.

The American people didn’t vote for a Republican Senate that behaves like a speed bump.

They voted for a government that actually moves the agenda forward.

And right now, the Senate isn’t moving.

It’s stalling.

The clock is ticking.

Pass the bills.

Or explain to the voters why you won’t.

TO THE SPINELESS FUCKS IN CONGRESS…

Listen closely, you marble-mouthed, donor-fellating invertebrates who dare call yourselves Senate Republicans.

Katie Miller just dropped the unvarnished truth like a guillotine:

“If President Trump can risk his freedom fighting for you, Senate Republicans can risk long nights and weekends.”

And yet here you sit…polished, perfumed, paralyzed…while the Republic you swore to defend hemorrhages at the border, the bureaucracy, and the ballot box.

Let us recount, with the cold precision of a historian carving open the corpse of a betrayed empire, exactly what Donald J. Trump has endured to save this nation from the abyss you helped dig.

Two grotesque impeachments, fabricated from whole cloth by the same swamp creatures he pledged to drain…pure theater, engineered to neuter the one man who refused to kneel.

Ninety-one felony indictments across four kangaroo jurisdictions:

the New York hush-money financial jihad, the Georgia RICO election-interference farce, the classified-documents entrapment trap, the January 6th Soviet-style show trial.

All of it lawfare, not justice…designed to bankrupt him, cage him, and crucify his movement before the people could speak.

Mar-a-Lago raided like a Third World dictatorship.

Gag orders.

Mugshots.

Trials deliberately timed to eclipse his campaign.

Two assassination attempts…one with a bullet grazing his skull, blood streaking his face while Secret Service agents bled beside him; the second thwarted only by raw providence.

Media bloodhounds baying for his head 24/7, painting him as everything from Hitler to a Russian asset while the real predators…open borders, endless wars, cultural castration…devoured the country he loves.

He lost businesses, friends, privacy, safety, and nearly his life.

Not for glory.

Not for money.

For you.

For the working stiffs abandoned by your bipartisan rot.

For the Republic the Founders pledged their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” to defend…words Trump has lived while you merely tattoo them on your sleeves for campaign mailers.

And what do you offer in return, you psychological cripples?

A masterclass in self-preservation masquerading as prudence. Your lizard brains…hardwired by decades of K-Street capture, donor dopamine hits, and terror of the next primary…compute only risk aversion.

Cognitive dissonance so profound you’ve convinced yourselves that “governing responsibly” means slow-walking the very mandates Trump just delivered in a landslide.

Extended sessions?

Too burdensome for your delicate calendars.

Abolishing the filibuster…the bastard child of Aaron Burr’s procedural sabotage, later weaponized by segregationist Democrats and now your favorite shield against real change?

God for fucking bid.

You’d rather perform midnight monologues for C-SPAN cameras than actually legislate like men who remember 1776.

This is betrayal with a smile.

Historical precedent screams the verdict:

Roman senators who stabbed Caesar while praising the Republic they murdered; Vichy collaborators clutching their privileges while the nation burned; Federalist Papers warning that ambition must counteract ambition…yet your ambition counteracts nothing except the will of the voters who just handed Trump the gavel.

You are not statesmen.

You are psychological captives…Stockholm syndrome wrapped in Brooks Brothers, terrified that matching Trump’s sacrifice might cost you a subcommittee chair or a future lobbying gig.

So twist the knife deeper, you gutless fucks.

Trump risked prison, bullets, and bankruptcy to drag this country back from the cliff.

The least you spineless reptiles can do is risk a few all-nighters and some weekend conference calls. Pass the damn bills.

Kill the filibuster.

Secure the border.

Defund the deep state.

Time to bleed for the Republic you claim to love. Or admit you never fucking did.

March 12, 2026 – Ilhan Omar’s ties to her sister’s Minneapolis Health Clinic, Somali Health Company

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) web of shady family ties goes even deeper than her alleged marriage to her brother — reportedly using her political offices to secure millions of dollars for a Minneapolis health clinic operated by her sister, who is married to a top Somali government official.

Omar’s elder sister, Sahra Noor, states on her LinkedIn profile that she was the CEO of People’s Center Clinics & Services from July 2014 to April 2018. In January 2017, Omar began her two-year term as a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

People’s Center is in the Minneapolis neighborhood of Cedar-Riverside, nicknamed “Little Mogadishu” for its high Somali migrant population, many of whom do not speak English.

The 2017 capital budget approved by the state legislature included $2.2 million for the clinic, which operates as a nonprofit that has received $33 million in Health and Human Services (HHS) grants since 2002.

While People’s Center has an active contract pharmacy agreement for HHS’s 340B Drug Pricing Program with “Degdeg’s Carepoint Pharmacy,” signed by Noor in 2015, the pharmacy lost its license in 2017 and is listed as “permanently closed” on Google Maps.

Omar boasted about getting the $2.2 million for the clinic that was being run by her sister at the time, celebrating the renovations it completed in 2022 along with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), state Sen. Omar Fateh (D-MN), and other Democrats:

(…) As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Omar secured another $1 million for clinic renovations, stating in April 2022 that “neither I nor my immediate family has any financial interest in this project.”

In April 2024, People’s Center credited Omar for getting them $1 million in congressionally directed funding.

When the media was asking Omar and her family difficult questions about the nature of her multiple marriages, one allegedly to her brother, Noor left her CEO position and moved back to Africa, running her own healthcare consultancy called Grit Partners in Kenya — which she claimed facilitated “peer learning session” projects funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Noor’s husband, Mohamed Keynan, held multiple positions within the Minnesota state and local governments before also moving back to Africa to work as chief of staff to then-Somali Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khayre and policy advisor to then-President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, commonly known as Farmaajo.

Prior to becoming one of the top advisors in Somalia, Keynan’s LinkedIn states he was a management analyst in the Minnesota Department of Human Services, a city planning commissioner in the Twin Cities suburb of Roseville, and a contracts manager for Hennepin County.

March 12, 2026 – Ex-Virginia National Guard soldier convicted of trying to provide support to ISIS, opens fire at Old Dominion University

The madman who opened fire at Old Dominion University on Thursday, killing a retired military officer instructing an ROTC class, has been identified as an ex-National Guard soldier convicted of trying to support ISIS, The Post has learned.

Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, stormed into a classroom inside ODU’s Constant Hall and asked if it was an ROTC class. When someone confirmed that it was, he launched the suspected terror attack, shooting the professor several times, law enforcement sources said.

A heroic ROTC cadet at the Virginia school jumped into action to prevent more carnage, stabbing Jalloh to death after the crazed suspect gunned down the class instructor, the sources said.

(…) In 2017, Jalloh, a former member of the Virginia National Guard, was sentenced to 11 years in prison for attempting to provide material support to ISIS and the ISIL, according to the Department of Justice.

A naturalized US citizen from Sierra Leone, Jalloh left the National Guard and became a devoted follower of Anwar al-Awlaki, the slain leader of Al-Qaeda’s branch in the Arabian Peninsula, the DOJ said.

He connected with members of the ISIL during a six-month stay in Africa. During one meeting on the trip, unknowingly observed by an FBI informant, Jalloh mentioned a desire to launch his own terror attack, the DOJ said. (Read more: New York Post, 3/12/2026)  (Archive)

March 13, 2026 – All members of Texas Antifa cell convicted in first Federal terrorism trial

(Credit: Andy Ngo)

Nine defendants accused of a July 4, 2025 ambush on a Texas ICE facility faced charges including providing support to terrorists and attempted murder of federal officers.

FORT WORTH, Texas — A federal jury in Fort Worth, Texas has convicted all nine members of a North Texas Antifa cell in the first federal Antifa terrorism trial in U.S. history.

The verdict followed two full days of deliberations after a trial that lasted 12 days.

Benjamin Song, Cameron Arnold (a Trantifa known as “Autumn Hill”), Bradford Morris (another Trantifa activist known as “Meagan Morris”), Zachary Evetts, Savanna Batten, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada were indicted last year on federal charges including providing material support to terrorists, rioting, use of an explosive device and obstruction.

Jurors found the defendants guilty of providing material support to terrorists, rioting, conspiracy to use/carry explosives and using/carrying explosives.

The jury acquitted the group on two of the charges: aiding attempted murder and aiding firearm discharge.

Benjamin Song, whom prosecutors described as the ringleader, wasn’t charged with the explosives-related charges but was convicted of the more serious attempted murder of a peace officer as well as multiple counts related to discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. The other defendants were acquitted on those firearm counts.

Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada, a Mexican national, was found guilty of conspiracy to conceal documents and corruptly concealing documents or records after the attack. His partner, Maricela Rueda, was also found guilty of conspiracy to conceal documents after telling him to hide her far-left extremist texts.

The defendants, described by prosecutors as members of a North Texas Antifa cell, were accused of carrying out an ambush-style shooting attack on the Prairieland ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas on July 4, 2025.

March 13, 2026 – Hillary Clinton non-profit launches Epstein deposition-related merchandise

Hillary Clinton’s political nonprofit is offering merchandise referencing contempt as the former secretary of state recently testified before the House Oversight Committee during its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

On the shop page for Clinton’s nonprofit organization, Onward Together, apparel, including hats, sweatshirts, and t-shirts bearing the phrase “Hold me in contempt until the cows come home,” is currently available for purchase.

The slogan references when members of the House Oversight Committee voted this year to recommend holding Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress as part of the panel’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The Clintons had previously offered to provide sworn written statements rather than appear in person, but committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) insisted they testify live before the panel.

(…) Clinton has continued political activity through Onward Together, the nonprofit organization she launched in 2017 after losing the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump. The group, structured as a 501(c)(4), can raise funds without publicly disclosing donors, a type of political funding commonly known as “dark money.”

She criticized the influence of “dark money” during her presidential campaign and called for a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which cleared the way for nonprofits to spend unlimited sums of money through the 501(c)(4) designation.

March 13, 2026 – NY Gov. Kathy Hochul voices concern over wealthy NY’ers leaving the state; appeals for their return

Kathy Hochul makes public remarks at a Politico New York Agenda Summit in Albany, and acknowledges the state’s reliance on high-net-worth residents for tax revenue and urged them to return after many had left for lower-tax states like Florida.

In response to pressures from figures like NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to raise taxes on the wealthy, Hochul highlighted the erosion of the tax base due to out-migration of affluent residents and businesses.

Key quotes from her remarks,: “I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state.”

“There are some patriotic millionaires who want to step up. OK, cut me the checks.”

“If you want to be supportive, the first step would be, OK, go down to Palm Beach and see who you bring back home because our tax base has become eroded.”

In this segment from The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, the hosts discuss and react to New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s recent public statements urging wealthy residents—particularly millionaires who have left the state to return to New York. They frame her comments as a desperate plea for high-income earners to come back and essentially subsidize the state’s expansive welfare programs and budget through their tax contributions.

The discussion highlights ongoing concerns about New York’s population and tax-base exodus in recent years, with many affluent individuals and businesses relocating to lower-tax states like Florida and Texas. Travis and Sexton criticize Hochul’s approach as tone-deaf, arguing it exposes the unsustainable nature of New York’s high-tax, high-spending policies that rely heavily on wealthy residents to fund social services and government programs.

March 13, 2026 – Data Republican dresses down retired Naval War College professor, Tom Nichols, after he tweets Pete Hegseth

Hello Professor Nichols,

You spent twenty-five years at the Naval War College. You taught the officers who would go on to run America’s wars. Famously, you never served in any of them.

In February 2003, you were at your desk in Newport when you wrote this, about Colin Powell’s presentation to the United Nations: “There is only one thing to say about Secretary Powell’s presentation at the U.N.: If this doesn’t do it, nothing will.” You were confident. You were expert. You were wrong. You acknowledged this twenty years later in The Atlantic — the invasion was, in your own words, “one of the greatest geopolitical disasters in American history.”

You wrote that from the same institution you are now defending.

The Senior Service Colleges produced the officers who managed the Afghanistan withdrawal. General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. General Kenneth McKenzie, CENTCOM commander. On September 28, 2021, both testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee that they had recommended keeping 2,500 troops in Afghanistan.

The recommendation was not followed. They did not resign or say a word publicly. Then 13 American service members died at Abbey Gate on August 26, 2021. Only after that did they testify.

Your response, in The Atlantic, August 16, 2021: “Afghanistan Is Your Fault.”

Not the generals your institutions trained and credentialed. Not the curriculum that built the career-preserving, NSC-deferring officer class that drove those decisions to their conclusion. The American public, with our short attention span and our SUVs.

General Milley, whose career your institution shaped, secretly called his PLA counterpart twice, October 30, 2020 and January 8, 2021, and assured him the US would not strike China, and that Milley would warn him personally if an attack were ordered. You wrote “Trump Put Milley in an Impossible Position.”

That’s not all. Secretary Austin concealed a cancer diagnosis from the White House and Congress for weeks while incapacitated; the DoD Inspector General documented it. At his farewell address in September 2023, Milley publicly called his former commander-in-chief a “wannabe dictator.”

You found none of this worth a column.

Anthony Tata is a retired Brigadier General. He commanded forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. He led soldiers in both wars. And now he has been asked to conduct a 90-day curriculum review of the Senior Service Colleges. Your objection is that he lacks the credentials for the job.

You wrote a whole book about credentials. The foundational knowledge of the average American is, in your assessment, “plummeting to aggressively wrong.” Institutions must be insulated from the ignorant. Expertise must not be questioned by those who haven’t earned it.

The men who earned your institution’s credentials – over twenty-plus years of your tenure – presided over two of the longest military failures in American history. They managed those failures in line with everything the War Colleges taught them: subordinate military judgment to civilian direction, preserve the relationship, testify about it later. They retired with honors.

That is what “expertise” means to you.

The question Pete Hegseth is asking isn’t whether the War Colleges have credentials. It’s whether the credentials mean anything. After twenty-five years on your faculty training generals who only know how to lose war, Professor Nichols, you are the wrong man to answer that.

March 14, 2026 – Data Republican: “Hello [doxxers] Brad Duplessis” (and Ryan Evans)

Brad Duplessis (Credit: Bluesky)

Hello Brad Duplessis,

You pre-emptively blocked me here on 𝕏, so I am forced to make this “Hello” a standalone post.

You are a retired Army infantry officer. You served in Iraq and Afghanistan. You graduated from the National War College in 2018. You are now an Assistant Professor at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

Thank you for your service.

But reputations are not defined by resumes. They are defined by choices.

Today, you chose to doxx @CynicalPublius.

Today, you published your debut article on War on the Rocks. You published his legal name. His profession. His pseudonym. All in one sentence. Indexed, archived, permanently searchable.

You have changed the course of his life forever, and revealed him to the leftist ghouls who will demand his blood for forever. It doesn’t matter if he was planning to reveal his identity eventually. You still made that choice. And I will make sure you are remembered for this.

So, what was CP’s sin such that you saw it fit to throw him to the wolves?

Last month, he dared to write an article for American Greatness, centered around nine recommendations for War College reform. The recommendations included firing most civilian faculty and ending permanent military faculty positions.

You hold a permanent civilian faculty position at a War College. You did not mention this in your article.

In short, you named him, exposed his life to danger, because you really are arguing for your job and self-preservation.

Know what is the most disgusting, hypocritical part of this is?

In the Fall 2017 issue of eARMOR (the U.S. Army Armor Branch professional journal) you published an article. You titled it “Our Readiness Problem: Brigade Combat Team Lethality.” You opened with General Milley: “Our fundamental task is like no other — it is to win in the unforgiving crucible of ground combat.” Your thesis: “If we are to get after GEN Milley’s No. 1 priority, we must first address brigade combat team (BCT) lethality.” The word “lethality” appears in your article about fifty times. You meant it as a compliment.

Now contrast to today’s piece. You wrote this: “In staking out this Huntingtonian position, the cult of lethality does a disservice to service members and the American people.”

The same word. Nine years apart. You were a field commander then, and lethality was the mission. You are a faculty member now, and lethality is what your critics embarrassingly worship.

Frankly – and you will never realize this – but you yourself are the living, walking example of the thesis which @PeteHegseth is proving.

Also, you named a section of today’s article after Colin Powell. You called him your model of what War College education produces. Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, and publicly called Donald Trump “dangerous for our democracy.” Powell, who infamously tipped the scales at the UN to start the Iraq war even after privately doubting the WMD intelligence, is your hero in an article about who gets to reform the military in 2026.

In addition to being a doxxer, you look a lot less like someone who’s defending institutions, and a lot more like someone who exemplifies institutional capture in the name of self-preservation. And you disclosed none of it.

Let me reiterate.

@CynicalPublius wrote under a pseudonym and identified himself as a retired Army colonel with Afghanistan and Iraq experience. He argued about curriculum policy. You responded by putting his name on the internet.

Your career depends on the institutions you are defending. Your article defending those institutions is the same article that ended his anonymity.

You taught your students about the instruments of national power, Professor Duplessis. You are now a living, breathing demonstration one of them. And why reform must happen.

Ryan Evans, CEO of War on the Rocks

We published the real name of the person writing under the Cynical Publius pseudonym, which he used to bully, insult, and direct widespread harassment. That person’s name was already widely known. Aside from mentioning that he is a veteran, something Thomas himself discusses, the article didn’t discuss any other personal information. Further, Thomas himself has said on X that he is revealing his name on Tuesday so this is all a bullshit, elaborate PR exercise in which you, Data Republican, and of course Thomas are treating your followers like they are dumbasses.

UPDATE 3/15/26:

Hello Mr. Evans,

Today, War on the Rocks published a “rebuttal” which disclosed the real-life identity of
@CynicalPublius. What the article did not mention: you had already posted his name on Bluesky before the WOTR piece published. The WOTR article cited his being “already known” as justification for printing his name. The person who made him “already known” was you. You manufactured the predicate for your own publication’s decision.

You then blocked me. And then called me out. Repeatedly. You engaged me, mentioned me, tagged me — even said publicly that you were looking forward to what I had written about War on the Rocks.

Blocking someone on a platform and then continuing to publicly engage them is not what a person who wants to be left alone does. It is what a person who wants the attention without the accountability does.

You’re framing your own just desserts as a “mass witch hunt” initiated by a Hello post I addressed to Brad Duplessis, your contributor, who named Cynical Publius in his debut WOTR piece without disclosing that Anderson’s recommendations for War College reform included eliminating the kind of permanent civilian faculty position Duplessis holds.

You are being dunked on because of what you did to Cynical Publius, not because of anything I wrote. Blaming the letter for the blowback is like blaming the smoke alarm for the fire.

Cynical Publius wrote that military institutions had drifted from their original professional mission toward ideological conformity and required reform. You responded by publishing his name. The question your letter to me does not answer — and the question a lot of people are now asking — is why an outlet that once existed to challenge that kind of institutional behavior became the one enforcing it.

You yourself provide answers to that question.

You launched War on the Rocks because you understood something true: the United States had spent two decades losing wars it shouldn’t have lost.

Twelve years later, when a pseudonymous retired Army officer argues that the War Colleges have drifted from warfighting competence toward ideological conformity, the platform you built publishes his name in the opening sentence.

That is not an accident of character. It is how institutions stop being able to learn. Armies that cannot receive criticism cannot conduct honest after-action review. Institutions that cannot correct what they’re getting wrong keep losing — and keep being surprised that they’re losing, because the people tasked with explaining the failures are the same people defending the institutions that produced them.

In short: Mr. Evans, you have been captured by the foreign policy expert class has presided over Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. And you don’t even realize it.

Wake up.

And be on the lookout for a Substack article where I explain your history more thoroughly.

Unfortunately Brad is a clear example of institutional capture. It’s hard to wrap my head around a retired Army officer teaching at a PME school, doxxing another retired Army officer that he disagrees with bc of his politics. It’s the equivalent of an ALO lighting up a “friendly” to eliminate the competition back home bc he felt threatened by a team mate.

He personifies the institutional rot and evil nature of ppl in a system that will sacrifice everything and everyone for “the system”. Mentioning Powell as an icon is brain numbingly retarded. I’ve met Powell a few times. Everyone I met at the Pentagon (Army of otherwise) had zero respect for him except the politicians. He was a useful tool. He, like Brad, sold his soul. Powell was referred to as a Beltway bandit. Even when he wasn’t assigned in DC he was a frequent visitor. He was a paper general and not a leader, so it’s no surprise Brad would put him on a pedestal while throwing .@CynicalPublius in front of the approaching enemy forces.

The positive: Brad exposes the danger @PeteHegseth identified as hazardous to the future of our military. Instead of intellectually engaging a peer, he picked up a proverbial weapon and stabbed him in the back. He personifies the PME cadre that are spineless, vile, intellectually weak personnel teaches our war fighters while clinging to the losers of yesteryear that spent 3 decades attriting our military in body bags.

Brad blocked me a long time ago because he is a weak man with zero balls. Fuck you Brad, may you rot in hell with the rest of your idols.

Cynical, Brad Duplessis and Ryan Evans’ actions were reprehensible—pure and simple.

Duplessis, still drawing a paycheck as an assistant professor at the Army Command and General Staff College, used his War on the Rocks debut (a platform he couldn’t wait to exploit) to doxx you—without any disclosure of his glaring conflict of interest. His own past writings gushed over “lethality” (dozens of mentions), yet now he hypocritically attacks the very reforms you advocate that threaten bloated civilian roles like his. Ryan Evans, as WOTR’s founder and CEO, approved and published this hit piece, greenlighting the exposure that invited mob harassment and death threats against a fellow veteran who simply called out institutional failures.

This wasn’t scholarship or debate; it was cowardly, self-serving gatekeeping by insiders desperate to shield their sinecures, tenure tracks, grants, and power from real accountability.

They proved your point about war colleges being captured by the wrong priorities—ideology over warfighting, conformity over lethality, bureaucracy over readiness.

Duplessis should be stripped of his taxpayer-funded position training officers at a military institution meant to build warriors, not protect academic bloat. The powers that be should ensure he slides any pension he may receiver. Boot Evans from any role influencing national security discourse.

Then sue them into eternity for the doxxing, the resulting threats, the breach of trust, and the damage done—especially since they knew (or should have known) the risks to a vet speaking truth.

This rot runs deep in these places, turning forge-of-warriors into echo chambers that helped deliver Afghanistan-level disasters.

Your raw, unfiltered X insights teach more genuine strategy, critical thinking, and reform urgency than these frauds ever will from their safe lecterns.

Props again to DR for shining the light on the hypocrisy, hidden conflicts, and defense of a broken system.

You’re not backing down, and neither should we.

America’s military deserves warriors educated by truth-tellers, not these entrenched phonies.
Keep hammering, friend.

No, Ryan.

What you did to Cynical Publius wasn’t journalism, wasn’t courage, and sure as hell wasn’t “countering bullying.”

It was a gutless, calculated doxxing of a combat veteran whose only crime was wielding a pseudonym to gut the sacred cows of your precious military-education cartel with more precision than your entire editorial staff could muster in a lifetime.

You dragged his real name into the light like some cheap tabloid hitman, not because he posed a physical threat, but because his ideas…raw, unfiltered, and surgically lethal…threatened the cozy sinecures, the civilian faculty fiefdoms, and the intellectual rot you’ve spent years polishing into tenure-track respectability.

This wasn’t about “accountability.” This was projection on steroids.

You saw a man who refused to play your polite institutional game…a man who chose anonymity not out of cowardice but out of tactical necessity, the same way special operators don’t sign their real names on every after-action report…and you couldn’t stomach it.

So you weaponized your platform to strip him bare, all while hiding behind the fig leaf of “he was going public anyway.”

Bullshit.

That’s the excuse of a bully who just got caught with his fist raised.

You didn’t expose a threat; you exposed your own fragility.

The second a pseudonymous voice started dismantling the war-college echo chamber with veteran credibility you’ll never match, your instinct wasn’t debate…it was destruction.

Classic authoritarian reflex dressed up as professionalism.

You don’t get to doxx veterans, Ryan.

Not for political disagreement, not for “harassment” you conveniently redefine as anyone who makes your faculty friends squirm, and especially not when that veteran has bled for the same institutions you now gatekeep like a fucking hall monitor with a PhD.

Cynical’s anonymity was his armor; you ripped it off not to protect anyone, but to punish dissent and send a message to every other independent mind:

toe the line or we’ll burn your cover.

That’s not defense of the realm.

That’s the behavior of a man who’s internalized the very bureaucratic cancer he claims to oppose…petty, vindictive, and terrified of real scrutiny.

You are the bully here, Ryan Evans.

Full stop.

The venom you injected into that article wasn’t righteous; it was the desperate hiss of a cornered insider watching his narrative monopoly crack.

And the rest of us…veterans, reformers, anyone who still believes ideas should be fought with ideas, not personal destruction…see it for exactly what it is:

a moral failure wrapped in editorial sanctimony.

Next time you want to play tough guy, try it with your own name on the line instead of someone else’s blood-earned service record.

Until then, spare us the lectures.

Your mask just slipped, and the face underneath is pure, unadulterated institutional cowardice.

March 15, 2026 – Virginia Gov Ralph Northam’s soft on crime policies set an Islamic terrorist loose on the Old Dominion University campus

Virginia’s former Republican attorney general, Jason Miyares, posted to social media revealing that a policy from the state’s former Democrat governor Ralph Northam prevented Old Dominion University from learning about the criminal background of the Islamic terrorist Mohamed Bailor Jalloh.

“Per Virginian law, public colleges are barred from questioning prospective applicants on their criminal histories or denying them admission on the basis of criminal history,” the post read. The provision came about via a 2019 woke social justice initiative signed into law by Northam.

If this policy had not been in place, the university would have been able to discover the criminal past of Jalloh, including when he pleaded guilty to providing material support to the Islamic State in 2017. That plea resulted in an 11 year sentence, but was cut to just two and a half years long after Jalloh completed a substance abuse program. (Read more: Townhall, 3/15/2026)  (Archive)

March 14, 2026 – The Deep State protection of the Seth Rich files may be ending

Vox used the above graphic captured from Fox News to use in a published piece titled “The bonkers Seth Rich conspiracy theory, explained” on May 24, 2017. (Credit: Fox News)

(…) On February 3, 2020, at NoisyRoom.net, I framed the Deep State as a de facto criminal enterprise under the RICO Act, committing treason, fraud, obstruction, and other racketeering acts in a continuing pattern (18 U.S.C. §§ 1961–1968).

The DNC “hack” fit the pattern: Assange denied Russian involvement and forensic analysis pointed to an insider leak, yet the FBI never inspected the DNC servers themselves, relying on CrowdStrike’s report. This misdirection fueled the Russia-Trump collusion hoax, justifying surveillance, media smears, and the Mueller probe. Under those circumstances, Rich’s potential role as a whistleblower threatened the whole house of cards.

Over the next few years, I authored a string of investigative reports, drilling down with hard evidence:

  • June 3, 2022: “Who Really Killed Seth Rich?”— Reexamined the murder as the Russia hoax collapsed, highlighting Rich’s access and Sanders loyalty.
  • July 12, 2022: “Use RICO to Get to the Bottom of Seth Rich’s Murder”— Proposed RICO as the tool to connect the hit to a broader conspiracy.
  • September 18, 2023: “Who is Seth Rich? Who Murdered Him? And What’s The Deep State Hiding?”— Linked to Durham Report findings of FBI misconduct.
  • February 2, 2024: “The FBI Again Tries to Block Seth Rich’s Laptop from Public View”— Exposed defiance in FOIA cases like Huddleston v. FBI, with exemptions claimed for “classified” or “personal” data.
  • March 18, 2025: “The FBI Must Investigate Itself And, Once Cleaned, Several Other Political Crimes”— Drew parallels to Epstein, calling for systemic reform.
  • August 2, 2025: “Was the Death of Seth Rich a Hit by the Deep State?”— Incorporated ODNI declassifications (under Tulsi Gabbard), Metro PD leaks from Officer Douglas Berlin, and the bombshell “Prohibited Access” files—a secret FBI repository shielding sensitive records.
  • August 8, 2025: “Seth Rich: Dead Men Tell No Tales”— Framed it as a murder mystery riddled with media disinformation (e.g., Michael Isikoff-style amplification of false narratives), unproven CrowdStrike claims, and urgent calls for probes under Kash Patel and Pam Bondi.

These articles relied on verifiable sources: FOIA denials-turned-admissions, court orders ignored, intelligence lapses (no crime-scene forensics pushed, devices held since 2016, but contents suppressed). Whispers persist, and in an unsolved case, such rumors are almost inevitable. The same holds for the broader possibility of a professional or contracted operative several levels removed from any decision-maker: plausible deniability is the hallmark of these operations.

Now, however, at long last, the Trump FBI is ever so slowly giving up its secrets. Senator Chuck Grassley deserves major credit. Attorney Ty Clevenger used Grassley’s discovery of hidden FBI files to advance his FOIA suits. Matt Taibbi at Racket News just posted an exclusive update on these hidden FBI files. John Solomon of Just the News just dropped an article detailing how prohibited-access files shielded politically sensitive cases, including an intriguing quote from Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon. The Federalist published these bombshell articles, too (here, here, here, and here). Whistleblower tips to Grassley’s office blew the lid off. Grassley demanded that AG Bondi and Director Patel produce records; some have been turned over amid internal resistance, and Patel’s task force is now excavating decades of hidden material.

Grassley said:

If it weren’t for whistleblower disclosures to my office, the very existence of the FBI using “Prohibited Access” files for some investigations would have remained in the dark. I’ve asked Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel to turn over certain Prohibited Access records to Congress. I’ve received some but am still waiting on others. I urge the DOJ and FBI to keep digging—which previous administrations apparently didn’t make any effort to do—so that the facts can come to light. The FBI’s secret stash of records is scandalous.

March 15, 2026 – Weirdo James Comey recalls singing Beyoncé song during 2016 FBI ‘Sandcastles’ briefing (Video)

Former FBI Director James Comey shared a story on Sunday recalling an unusual moment from his time leading the bureau, describing how a reference to a Beyoncé song during a 2016 FBI briefing was met with silence from colleagues in the room.

Comey stated in a video posted Sunday on his Substack:

As FBI director, I would get briefed all the time on serious stuff, including operations or cases that always seemed to have these strange code names that nobody could explain the origin of, at least not to the director. And so the names became a little bit of an obsession of mine.

One morning, I was sitting at the head of a big table in a crowded room to get briefed on a particular piece of work. The briefer started by saying the operation was codenamed “Sandcastles.”

Now, this was 2016, and you may know that Beyoncé’s album Lemonade had come out with a track called “Sandcastles.” So I said, “Oh, like the Beyoncé song.” Blank stares all around the FBI conference room. So I did the natural thing. I think I sang, “We rebuild sand castles that washed away.” Nope, nothing — dead silence. “Never mind,” I said, “continue.” Only when I got home and told my family the story did I get the reaction I was looking for. When I write, I listen to classical or jazz because, in ways I can’t explain, the music unlocks something. It frees me.

Comey led the FBI from 2013 until he was fired in 2017 during President Donald Trump’s first administration. His remarks come months after a federal judge dismissed a 2025 indictment charging him with making false statements and obstruction of justice related to his 2020 Senate testimony, a ruling the Justice Department has indicated it will appeal.

March 17, 2026 – Nick Shirley exposes California fraud

Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger… We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.

It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America’s fraud crisis.

Gavin Newsom wants to be President. Think of it. The man who turned the Golden State into the greatest fraud factory the world has ever seen… the man who let billions and billions and billions of your tax dollars get stolen right out from under him… that man wants to run the country. Everybody sees it. Even the Democrats see it. They just don’t want to talk about it.

So let’s talk about what’s really happening in California because the numbers are so big, so staggering, so unbelievable that people can’t even comprehend them. Medi-Cal… that’s California’s version of Medicaid, their big healthcare program… has more than doubled from $108 billion to a proposed $222 billion. The population didn’t double. The spending doubled. Where did the money go? It went to the fraudsters. It went to the grifters. It went to people driving around in brand new BMWs and $200,000 Maybachs while your grandmother can’t afford her medication in the 4th largest economy in the world. Disgraceful.

A brave young journalist… Nick Shirley, great guy, incredible courage… went into Los Angeles and did what the entire state government of California refused to do. He walked up to the doors. He knocked. He asked questions. And what did he find? He found daycares with 39 children enrolled on paper and five kids actually there. He found daycares in San Diego with 14 children enrolled and zero… zero… present when the state inspectors showed up. Four different visits by state inspectors. Zero children every single time. And California kept sending the checks. Kept sending the money. Billions of dollars just flowing out the door to empty buildings and ghost children.

Think of it.

Nick found a daycare operating out of an apartment… one bedroom… supposedly caring for eight kids. He shows up and finds two small children outside completely unsupervised. No adult anywhere. His producer, a mother, broke down crying on camera because the scene was so horrifying. These are real children being used as pawns in a massive fraud scheme and Gavin Newsom’s California didn’t do a thing to stop it. Not a thing.

But the daycares… and this is the part that really gets you… the daycares are almost small compared to what’s happening with hospice. Los Angeles County has seen a 1,500 percent increase in hospice companies since 2010. That’s not a typo. Fifteen hundred percent. The elderly population went up about 40 percent. The number of hospice agencies went from 109 to over 1,800. Forty-five times more hospice agencies per senior than New York. Fifty-nine times more than Florida. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it.

CBS News… and give them credit, they actually did real journalism for once… went through every single hospice operating in LA County. Seven hundred and forty-two of them… 42 percent… showed multiple red flags for fraud as defined by the state’s own criteria. Nearly 500 hospices crammed into a three-mile radius in the San Fernando Valley. One hundred and thirty-seven along Van Nuys Boulevard alone. Eighty-nine… 89 hospice companies… registered inside one single building in Van Nuys. One building. And 72 of those showed signs of fraud.

Nick Shirley went to that very area. He walked into a place called Miracle Healing Hospice that billed $1.3 million. Knocked on the door. Nobody home. Looked through the window. Completely empty. Not a single piece of furniture. $32,000 per patient billed to the taxpayers and there’s nothing inside. Nothing. He went to Guardian of Angels Hospice… $4.8 million billed. Couldn’t even find them. Went door to door looking for this company that collected nearly five million dollars and it didn’t appear to exist.

And here’s where it gets really interesting… the “I can’t believe this is real” part. Every single one of these empty buildings, these shell companies, these ghost operations… the parking lots were full of the most expensive cars you’ve ever seen. Brand new BMW M8 Competitions. Cybertrucks. $200,000 Maybachs. Mercedes after Mercedes after Mercedes. The fraudsters weren’t even trying to hide it. They were driving around in luxury vehicles paid for with stolen Medicare dollars while hardworking Californians can’t afford their rent.

Nick went to a place that teaches people how to open their own hospice. A consulting firm. In LA. You don’t need to be a doctor. You don’t need to be a nurse. You don’t need to be anything. Just get some stolen Medicare numbers from elderly people… which are worth more than credit card numbers now, everybody in the industry knows it… bill the government, and watch the checks roll in. A medical professional told Nick on camera that hospice fraud became a trend during COVID. People were building hospices and flipping them like real estate. Building them and selling them. Using your tax dollars. Quite honestly one of the most disgraceful things anyone has ever seen in this country.

And Gavin Newsom’s big response? He says he banned new hospice licenses in 2021. Incredible. He banned new licenses while 742 fraudulent operations kept running. That’s like locking the front door after the burglars moved in and set up a furniture store in your living room. His own state auditor told him in 2022… wrote him a letter, very direct, very clear… that California’s weak controls had created the opportunity for large-scale fraud and abuse. Stolen identities of medical personnel. Abnormally high rates of living patients being discharged. The whole system was rotten. And what did Newsom do? He blamed Trump. Always blaming somebody else. Never his fault. His spokesperson actually called Dr. Oz an idiot for pointing out the fraud. That tells you everything you need to know about Gavin Newsom’s priorities.

Meanwhile an adult daycare in LA billed $19.8 million. Nick went there at 1:30 in the afternoon. No adults present. The place looked like it was falling apart. They couldn’t even produce a brochure. Couldn’t even answer the phone. A voicemail box that was full. $19.8 million of your money.

California’s own Attorney General Rob Bonta had to admit it… called hospice fraud an epidemic. An epidemic. And this is Newsom’s guy saying this. The “Califraudia” report estimates total fraud waste and abuse across the state could hit $250 billion. Billions and billions and billions. The state auditor has been flagging Medi-Cal as high risk for mismanagement since 2007. Almost twenty years of warnings and nothing changed. By March 2025, Newsom’s healthcare department needed a $3.4 billion emergency loan. A week later they came back begging for another $2.8 billion. The state is hemorrhaging money and nobody at the top cares because nobody at the top is paying for it. You’re paying for it.

The DOJ has been arresting people. Good. Four California residents just got sentenced for a $16 million hospice fraud and money laundering scheme… sham companies, fake documents, stolen Medicare numbers, shell accounts. The Armenian Organized Crime strike force dismantled five hospices in LA. But these are drops in an ocean of fraud that Newsom watched grow for years and years and years while he was busy running around the country auditioning for President.

This is the man the Democrats want to put in charge of the whole country. The man who couldn’t find 742 fraudulent hospices in his own state. The man whose government kept sending checks to daycares with zero children. The man whose citizens are getting their Medicare numbers stolen so criminals can drive Maybachs. The man whose own auditor begged him to act and he ignored it.

Gavin Newsom didn’t build the Golden State. He built the fraud state. And now he wants your vote. Go look at what he did to California. Go look at those empty buildings billing millions. Go look at those children left unsupervised in apartment daycares. Go look at those parking lots full of luxury cars outside fake hospices.

And then ask yourself… do we really want this for America?

An unassuming office building on a side street in Los Angeles is being called a “ground zero” example of suspected, widespread hospice care fraud underway in California.

The Merabi Professional Medical Plaza, a 32,000-square-foot, stucco and glass building in the Van Nuys neighborhood of the LA’s San Fernando Valley is reportedly the home to 89 licensed hospice companies.

March 17, 2026 – Honestreporting.AI Labs track the Joe Kent/Tucker Carlson narrative in real time – findings should end debate

Joe Kent goes on Tucker Carlson. Within minutes — not hours, minutes — the same clip, same caption, same outrage floods hundreds of accounts simultaneously. http://HonestReporting.AI Labs tracked every amplification event in real time, and the data is damning.

The trigger quote — 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 — was clipped and posted across hundreds of accounts almost simultaneously. Not after it trended. During the broadcast. Real breaking news takes time to spread organically. This had a running start.

Who amplified it? Look at the coalition:

Russian state TV (RT).
Iranian state media through HispanTV.
Hamas-aligned Quds News Network.
Turkish state broadcaster TRT.
Sputnik Brasil.

And simultaneously — Jackson Hinkle, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Max Blumenthal.
Russia, Iran, Hamas, and MAGA dissidents.

All posting the same message. At the same time.

When does that happen naturally? It doesn’t.

The charts tell the story precisely. Within 2 to 4 hours of the Tucker broadcast, tracked amplification events spiked to 30 — dominated by MAGA dissident amplifiers and Pro-Palestinian/Islamist networks firing in parallel.

The second chart shows how far the narrative traveled from what Kent actually said. By the time the amplification cycle was complete, the message had escalated from Kent’s original claim all the way to “Israel controls America” — an approximately 85-90% departure from source material. That is not interpretation. That is narrative laundering.

The rollout wasn’t spontaneous. Kent resigned. Tucker booked him within hours. Real whistleblowers are chaotic. They call journalists from parking lots. They don’t have a media tour lined up before the ink dries on their resignation letter.

And here’s what got buried in all of it: from 2020 to 2024, Joe Kent publicly and repeatedly called for destroying Iran’s nuclear AND ballistic capabilities. That record was almost completely absent from the amplified conversation. Narrative laundering doesn’t only determine what to amplify. It determines what to erase.

The FBI was already investigating Kent. He resigned to control the narrative. The speed, the uniformity, and the foreign state amplification are not organic. This was a coordinated information operation — and the people pushing it included both foreign adversaries and Americans who should know better.

March 17, 2026 – National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent resigns, presumably over Iran war; FBI investigating him for possibly leaking classified info

JUST IN: President Trump responds to National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent RESIGNING over the war in Iran

“I always thought he was a nice guy, but I thought he was very weak on security. I didn’t know him well. But he seemed like a pretty nice guy. But when I read his statement, I realized it’s a good thing he’s out because he said Iran was not a threat.”

Kent said in his resignation letter: “As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.”

 

March 18, 2026

FBI just announced Investigation into Joe Kent for allegedly leaking classified information. This comes after Joe Kent rushed onto Tucker Carlson podcast to double down on his public challenge to President Trump regarding Iran.

Joe Kent appears on Tucker’s show on 3/18/2026 to discuss why we went to war with Iran.

Kent resigned Tuesday from his role as the nation’s top counterterrorism official, citing opposition to the U.S. war against Iran.

In a public statement, Kent said he “cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war,” arguing that Iran posed no imminent threat and that the conflict marked a break from the administration’s prior approach to avoiding prolonged wars in the Middle East.

A senior administration official previously told Fox News Digital that Kent was a “known leaker” who had been cut out of intelligence briefings months before his resignation.

It is unclear whether the FBI investigation is related to those concerns or to a separate matter. (Fox News, 3/18/2026)

So Joe Kent was reportedly under FBI investigation for leaking classified information before resigning — and he immediately sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson, who said days ago that he’s under investigation for his conversations with Iranian officials.

Who knows whether either claim is true?

What information was Kent accused of leaking — and to whom?

What exactly did Tucker say to Iranian officials?

Or are both men being targeted for opposing the war?

Or is none of this accurate, and neither is under investigation at all?

The reality is that nobody on the internet knows the full truth — but you’re about to see plenty of people speak with absolute certainty as if they do.

March 17, 2026 – US intel hid Chinese 2020 election meddling from Trump because they opposed his policies

Dr. Barry A. Zulauf (Credit: World Geostrategic Insights )

Dr. Barry A. Zulauf, a member of the Senior National Intelligence Service reported that others in the intelligence community said “I don’t want my intelligence going to the White House where it will be used by that vulgarian in the Oval Office to support policies against China with which I personally disagree.”

Analysts inside the U.S. intelligence community sought to conceal evidence of Chinese influence efforts from President Donald Trump during the 2020 election, with analysts saying they didn’t want their intel used by “that vulgarian in the Oval Office” to pursue policies toward China they personally disagreed with.

The revelation is found within a January 2021 report written by — and never before reported upon comments by — analytic ombudsman Barry Zulauf, who conducted a review of the spy community’s handling of Russian versus Chinese meddling efforts during the 2020 election. Among his conclusions was that intelligence analysts downplayed China’s actions because they had disdain for the “vulgarian” Trump and did not want to support the policies and priorities of the Trump administration toward China with which they “personally disagree.”

Just the News reported this week that the U.S. intelligence community has known since early 2020 that Beijing also gained access to American voter registration data and used that information to conduct opinion analysis related to the presidential election between Trump and then-former Vice President Joe Biden.

Chinese government election influence efforts in the 2020 election

This is not the only piece of evidence pointing to Chinese government election influence efforts in the 2020 election. Although much about China’s activities in 2020 remains classified, Just the News conducted a thorough review of publicly-available intelligence assessments, federal indictments, foreign government warnings, and cybersecurity firm analyses.

There is credible evidence that Chinese government-linked cyber hackers and Chinese social media troll farms took aim at the U.S. presidential election in 2020 and sought to undercut Trump during his run against now-former President Biden. There are also indicators that Chinese intelligence and law enforcement agencies — China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) and its Ministry of Public Security (MPS) — also played a role in 2020.

Zulauf — a longtime intelligence officer — wrote in his January 2021 report: “Given analytic differences in the way Russia and China analysts examined their targets, China analysts appeared hesitant to assess Chinese actions as undue influence or interference. These analysts appeared reluctant to have their analysis on China brought forward because they tended to disagree with the Administration’s policies, saying in effect, I don’t want our intelligence used to support those policies.”

U.S. intel analysts downplayed China assessments to avoid helping Trump

Zulauf discussed his report on a podcast later that year, where he quoted an analyst working on Chinese interference efforts as having essentially said that “I don’t want my analysis going to the White House where that vulgarian … in the White House will use it to pursue policies toward China with which I personally disagree.”

An article in the Journal of Intelligence Conflict and Warfare recounted a 2023 speech by Zulauf, who said that the intelligence analyst was quoted as saying that “I don’t want my intelligence going to the White House where it will be used by that vulgarian in the Oval Office to support policies against China with which I personally disagree.”

“Dr. Zulauf went on to point out the various errors in this way of thinking — intelligence belongs to the community, not a single analyst, and further, while analysts are entitled to like or dislike particular leaders, they are not entitled to allow that to alter the intelligence products that they put forward,” the journal article said.

The review by Zulauf also found that allegations of Russian meddling and Chinese meddling were being measured based on differing standards, meaning Russia may have taken actions that were determined to be influence or interference efforts while, if and when China took the same or similar actions, those Chinese actions likely would not have been determined to be influence or interference efforts.

“Due to varying collection and insight into hostile state actors’ leadership intentions and domestic election influence campaigns, the definitional use of the terms ‘influence’ and ‘interference’ and associated confidence levels are applied differently by the China and Russia analytic communities,” Zulauf wrote in his report.

The ombudsman found that “the terms were applied inconsistently across the analytic community” and that “failing to explain properly these definitions is inconsistent with Tradecraft Standards.”

“ODNI officials engaging with policymakers said that these customers did notice the result, particularly differences in the volume, frequency, and confidence levels of the intelligence coming from the China and Russia analytic communities on activities that, from their perspective, were very similar in their potential effects,” Zulauf added.

The analytic ombudsman noted that multiple national intelligence officers wrote an “Alternative Analysis Memo” in October 2020 “which expressed alternative views on potential Chinese election influence activities.” Zulauf said that “these alternative views met with considerable organizational counter pressure” but that then-DNI and now-Director of the Central Intelligence Agency John Ratcliffe agreed with the dissenting alternative views which argued that China had in fact attempted to influence the 2020 election to undercut Trump’s candidacy.

March 17, 2026 – James O’Keefe exposes California elections fraud – Cash for Ballots

CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS FRAUD CASH FOR BALLOTS PART I: Homeless Bribed with Cash & Drugs In Exchange For Registering To Vote & Signing Election Petitions Caught On Tape Undercover On Skid Row In California.

“You can just put Pinocchio Lane.”

California NGOs Encourage Fake Addresses To Homeless People To Sign Petitions & Register Voters, A State & Federal Felony. Footage Shows 28 Instances Of Cash Changing Hands For Ballot Signatures & Voter Registration Forms. Many of the petitioners had no understanding of the petitions’ purpose they were advertising. Circulators also instructed individuals to use fake addresses. “Oh, you can just fake an address.”

Weingart Center, which received hundreds of millions in public funding, is on tape directing people to where the fraudulent petitioners are located, and directing homeless individuals to petitioners & coaching plausible deniability. “See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea.’”

We encountered 28 instances of petitioners offering cash, cigarettes, and marijuana for signatures on petitions.

Weingart employees advised: “See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea.’” All happening outside taxpayer-funded housing organizations. Weingart CEO earned $432,000 before resigning from the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency.

James O’Keefe and the OMG Team went undercover on Skid Row, posing as homeless individuals. On hidden cameras, petitioners admitted they are paid $7–$10 per signature, sometimes earning $1,000 or more per day, collecting signatures from individuals with minimal knowledge of what they were signing.

“$7 a signature, $5 a signature, $10 a signature.”

“We gon’ give you $2.”

Populus Inc., a political consulting firm, was circulating petitions funded by @Uber, @Delta, @United, and the American Hotel & Lodging Association (@AHLA). On camera, one petitioner said, “We have one that taxes billionaires 5%. One-time tax. 5% and that’s gonna go towards healthcare.” Other petitions sought to overturn LA’s $30 minimum wage for hotel and airline workers.

Paying per signature and encouraging fake addresses violates federal and state election law and is proof of fraud happening in California.

Weingart employees were caught directing the homeless to the location of the petitioners and coaching them on plausible deniability. Intake coordinator Jason Warren told an undercover journalist exactly where and when to find them:

“Most time they be right across the street, under that tree… Monday through Friday.”

In 2016, nine individuals were arrested on Skid Row for exchanging cash and cigarettes for signatures; in 2019 they were charged on 14 counts under the exact same California Elections Code section.

Yet when confronted, nearby LAPD officers dismissed the activity as “a civil lawsuit.”

“Paying per signature violates state election law and is evidence of election fraud in California,” the investigation concludes. On Skid Row, we captured conduct on tape that violates Federal Law 52 U.S. Code §10307 and state law California Election Code §18603.

Part II coming soon.

March 18, 2026 – Chris Wray and Chris Krebs lied to the American public for 6 years — They knew Iranians breached US election system in 2020

FBI Director Chris Wray and former CISA Director Chris Krebs hid the extent of the enormous Iranian election security breach from the American public until last month, four years after the 2020 election. (Credit: The Gateway Pundit)

In 2025, unsealed court documents completely redefined what we were told to believe about the 2020 US presidential election.

The election was billed by the Democrat Party, Joe Biden, the mainstream media, and former CISA Chief Chris Krebs as the ‘most secure election’ in US history.

Chris Krebs, the former CISA Director, testified before Congress on December 16, 2020, after he was fired by Donald Trump.

Recently, unsealed court documents first reported by The Gateway Pundit in October 2024, completely redefined what we were told to believe about the 2020 US presidential election.

The election was billed by the Democrat Party, Joe Biden, the mainstream media, and former CISA Chief Chris Krebs as the most secure election in US history.

Chris Krebs, the former CISA Director fired by Donald Trump, testified before Congress on December 16, 2020, after he was fired.

Krebs famously announced that day, “The 2020 election was the most secure in US history.”

WATCH:

But was 2020 really the most secure election in US history?

We now know definitively that Chris Krebs was lying when he made this announcement during congressional testimony in December 2020.

Today, nearly six years after the 2020 election, we have proof of a successful breach by one of America’s major enemies on our election infrastructure prior to Election Day and during early voting.

CISA officials released a report on October 30, 2020, JUST DAYS BEFORE the 2020 presidential election.

The report was never made public, and it omitted critical facts about a successful breach of a state’s election database days before the 2020 election.

Here is the CISA report, which was hidden for several years and discovered after investigative reporter Yehuda Miller obtained the information through a FOIA request earlier this year.

According to the CISA report from October 22, 2020:

SUBJECT: FBI Liaison Alert System (FLASH) – Indicators of Compromise Pertaining to Iranian Interference in the 2020 Presidential Election – TLP: WHITE

On 22 October 2020, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) published a joint Cybersecurity Advisory (Alert AA20-296B) warning that Iranian advanced persistent threat (APT) actors are likely intent on influencing and interfering with the US elections to sow discord among voters and undermine public confidence in the US electoral process.

APT actors are creating fictitious media sites and spoofing legitimate media sites to spread anti-American propaganda and misinformation about voter suppression.

The attached FLASH contains a list of indicators of compromise (IOCs) and additional threat information pertaining to a threat group, assessed to be located in Iran, conducting operations aimed at influencing and interfering in the 2020 US Presidential Election.

The October 22 alert referenced above can be found at the following URL: https://uscert.cisa.gov/ncas/alerts/aa20-296b

Here is the report released on October 30, 2020, days before the US presidential election.

Thanks to Yehuda Miller for the FOIAed document.

We now know that this CISA report was completely dishonest and omitted critical facts.

We also know that Krebs and CISA lied about the security of the 2020 election in their Cyber Risk Summary, which was released after the election in 2021.

We know this for a fact because Krebs, Chris Wray, and CISA COMPLETELY OMITTED the fact that the Iranian regime successfully breached one state’s voter roll database and used the names, Social Security, and Driver’s License numbers to fill out UOCAVA or overseas ballot registrations!

This tiny fact was omitted from Kreb’s report, and Chris Wray and DOJ Chief Bill Barr ignored it! (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 3/18/2026)  (Archive)

March 18, 2026 – Biden’s CIA Assessment: “Traditional motherhood” & “homemaking” are white “Racially and Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism” (REMVE)

March 19, 2026 – FBI misled FISA court to spy on second Trump campaign adviser

Donald Trump and Walid Phares (Credit: public domain)

Carter Page wasn’t the only adviser from Trump’s first campaign wiretapped by the FBI. Walid Phares was electronically monitored for a 12-month period between 2017 and 2018, according to the Washington-based FBI agent who was assigned to investigate him as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion probe.

As in Page’s case, the bureau withheld evidence exonerating Phares from the court to secure surveillance authorization, according to newly declassified FBI documents.

“I had no idea any of this was happening,” Phares told RealClearInvestigations in an exclusive interview Wednesday night. “This is shocking because they told my lawyer that I was only a ‘witness’ and that they just needed some information.”

“But these were huge abuses that I can see now,” he added. Phares said he intends to sue the FBI and Justice Department for damages.

The 68-year-old Lebanese-American scholar said case agents and prosecutors grilled him for months, questioned his employer, and even went after his bank records. As a result, he said he lost his job at a university, his livelihood, and even his bank accounts and credit card after Wells Fargo cancelled them.

“It was like a disaster for me financially and physically,” he said. “I also lost my Fox News contract” as an expert on terrorism and the Middle East, which he had held since 2007.

Phares was not hired by the Trump administration, even though he had been expected to land a high-level foreign policy position. “They scared the agencies from me so I would have problems with (obtaining) a security clearance,” he said.

‘No Corroborating Facts’

Investigators could find “nothing” criminal on Phares during their probe, according to the lead case agent, and in fact, they concluded he was “honest.” Yet Mueller’s team continued to secretly spy on Phares – without providing the powerful federal spy court any of the exculpatory evidence that could clear Phares as required by law.

The agent told investigators in a separate 2020 internal FBI review that “there were no corroborating facts that tied Crosswind [the codename for Phares’ case] to certain facts that we thought were originally true,” according to a transcript of his testimony, released after more than five years of concealment.

He added that “nothing” collected from Phares’ communications under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants, including phone messages and emails, “aided the investigation other than to prove the target was being honest with investigators,” who had interviewed him repeatedly.

Nonetheless, the FBI continued monitoring Phares as part of a Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) investigation. He was never charged with any violations of the act. (Read more: RealClearInvestigations, 3/19/2026)  (Archive)

March 19, 2026 – Former FBI Director James Comey receives grand jury subpoena in the Justice Department’s Russiagate investigation

Former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed in the Justice Department’s Russiagate investigation.

In July, it was reported that former FBI Director James Comey and John Brennan were under FBI investigation over their involvement in Russiagate.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred Brennan and Comey for prosecution last summer.

US Attorney in the Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quiñones is in charge of the investigation.

According to Axios and Fox News, Comey was issued a grand jury subpoena last week.

March 20, 2026 – Bagman and enabler of ‘Spygate’ and ‘Russiagate’ receives subpoena from Florida ‘conspiracy’ investigative grand jury

In the next few days, much more about the overall investigative review underway in Florida will begin to surface.  The review has been led by USAO Jason A. Reding Quiñones, a federal prosecutor for the Southern District of Florida.

As with all investigations containing multiple players and actors, the first investigative information is extracted from testimony by those furthest away from the principals, yet closest to the granular details of the events being reviewed.  The questioning then goes upstream, using information collected to assembly more specific questions as the principal players are approached.

The widest concentric circles are questioned first. Then, using the responses and investigative information from that circle, the questioning and inquiry goes to the next inner circle of participants. The information is assembled, and more pointed questions are then targeted to the next inner circle; the process continues until the core is questioned.

Beginning with the end in mind, the biggest challenge is knowing what the correct questions are to ask of those who were closest to the corrupt activity (the outer circle). Background research is critical – CTH of value. From those pointed questions you get answers. Then, next level of more specific questions get focus, and so on, and so on.

FLORIDA – Former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed in connection with a wide-ranging investigation being run by a Trump-appointed federal prosecutor in Florida, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News on Thursday.

The probe, which focuses on an earlier investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and other prosecutions related to President Donald Trump, is being led by Jason A. Reding Quiñones, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. The sprawling probe has been dubbed a “grand conspiracy” investigation by Trump allies.

An attorney for Comey did not have an immediate comment, while Quiñones’ office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. (read more)

Please remember, there are two distinct and different aspects to the overall conspiracy and timeline.

There was surveillance of the 2016 Republican candidates by contractors working on behalf of the FBI who was institutionally collaborating with the Clinton campaign; that is known as “Spygate.”   There was then an FBI operation to target and eliminate the threat represented by the 2016 GOP primary winner, Donald Trump; that is known as “Russiagate.”

‘Spygate’ and ‘Russiagate’ are two distinctly different corrupt pathways that eventually merged due to common interests.

The Mueller investigation, an extension of Crossfire Hurricane (Russiagate) was used by Obama-era politicians and internal government officials as a mechanism to block President Trump from executing a divergent foreign policy.  The primary policy of focus was to protect the Iran deal.

Based on mounting evidence, a pattern in other international activities and U.S. participants, the Obama-Clinton-Kerry Iranian deal likely included a mechanism for return payments to U.S. officials following the release of billions in frozen Iranian asset funds and the loosening of sanctions – (ie. pallets of cash).  Qatar was the mediator/broker.

However, it is speculated, perhaps being currently evidenced, that return payments to the Obama team contained a timing mechanism and the quid-pro-quo payments were stopped after President Trump withdrew from the Iran deal and re-instituted sanctions.

Thus, a much larger background context exists for why the totality of the U.S. government and Intelligence Community opposed President Donald Trump.   Is it all about the money? Time will tell.  Current events may not be coincidental.

♦ September 2015 – Billionaire Paul Singer contracts with Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS for opposition research on candidate Donald Trump during 2016 GOP presidential primary.  Simpson prior work during time at Wall Street journal serves as reference.

♦ February 2018 – Text messages between SSCI Vice-Chair Warner and Chris Steele layer Adam Waldman surface. Andrew Weissmann organizes a press conference for Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein to conduct, announcing indictments of 17 Russians and entities for 2016 election interference; this is timed as Trump departs for summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

♦ March 2018 – Public begins to absorb totality of FBI (mis)conduct in the Trump targeting operation.  The information war is in full swing.  Narrative battles are throughout media.

♦ April 2018 – Leaks of the FISA application against Carter Page now under scrutiny.  A criminal referral from OIG toward FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for lying to INSD investigators about his media leaks.

♦ June 2018 – The criminal indictment of SSCI Security Director James Wolfe unsealed and made public.

♦ July 2018 – The DOJ informs the FISC that despite issues surfacing about the predicate of the FISA warrant they authorized against Carter Page for being an agent of a foreign power, everything was ok.  A week later, the DOJ then releases to the public the first FISA Title-1 search warrant ever seen, …

…the publicly released version of the FISA application is the exact copy of FISA that was contained in the FBI evidence file against James Wolfe.  The same exact document hand carried from the FISC to the SSCI on March 17, 2017, was the copy released by the DOJ in July 2018 – not the DOJ-NSD copy.  How did that happen?

♦ December 2018 – Despite the DOJ refusing to indict James Wolfe for leaking the Top-Secret Compartmented Intelligence Carter Page FISA application, and after the guilty plea was entered for lying to investigators, and while the Judge was considering Wolfe’s sentencing, in December of 2018, after the midterm election and under penalty of perjury, the USAO in Washington DC swears to the Judge in the case that James Wolfe leaked the FISA application.

Cover up much?

March 21, 2026 – Robert Mueller is dead

The Clinton exoneration FBI Team became the Trump investigation FBI Team (Crossfire Hurricane) – which then became the Robert Mueller FBI Team (exact same people, plus some additions) – which then became the J6 Investigation FBI Team (exact same people, plus some additions) – which then became the Jack Smith FBI Team (same exact people).  Not only was it one long continuum, but it was also the EXACT SAME PEOPLE.

Before there was the obvious cognitive decline of Joe Biden, there was the obvious cognitive incapacity of Robert Mueller.  However, both acuity compromises were ignored because the agenda the figureheads represented was more important than their obvious compromise.  We talked about it throughout the special counsel timeframe that held his name.

Robert Mueller was a figurehead with no structural input or control over the Trump-Russia special counsel probe.  Factually, Andrew Weissmann was in control over the special counsel investigation, albeit with daily support from the entire Lawfare network.  President Trump’s notice about Robert Mueller’s death is understandable:

I’ve always said to pay attention to the people in Washington DC, specifically the republicans, who claimed Robert Mueller was an honorable figure.  As soon as you hear that sentiment, you know that is a corrupt conniving bastard speaking.

Everyone in Washington DC knew what the role of Robert Mueller was during the first-term administration of Donald Trump.  No one in Washington DC did not know.  Anyone who says the Mueller motive was to investigate Trump-Russia is a deceptive liar.  They all knew what the goal of Mueller was.

The 2017 Mueller Timeline:

♦Sunday May 14th – James Comey transmitted copies of Memos 2, 4, and 6, and a partially redacted copy of Memo 7 to Patrick Fitzgerald, who was one of Comey’s personal attorneys.  Fitzgerald received the email and PDF attachment from Comey at 2:27 p.m. on May 14, 2017, per the IG report.

♦Monday May 15th, McCabe states he and Rosenstein conferred again about the Special Counsel approach. McCabe: “I brought the matter up with him again after the weekend.”

On this same day was when James Rybicki called SSA Whistleblower to notify him of Comey’s memos. The memos were “stored” in a “reception area” and in locked drawers in James Rybicki’s office.

♦Tuesday May 16th – Per the IG report: “On the morning of May 16, Comey took digital photographs of both pages of Memo 4 with his personal cell phone. Comey then sent both photographs, via text message, to his special government employee, Daniel Richman.  Richman’a job was to use the memo to leak to media.

Back in Main Justice at 12:30pm Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe, Jim Crowell and Tashina Guahar are all part of this meeting.  I should note that alternate documentary evidence, gathered over the years, supports the content of this McCabe memo.  Including texts between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok:

[Sidebar: pay attention to the redactions; they were placed by DOJ officials in an effort to protect Rod Rosenstein for his duplicity in: (A) running the Mueller sting operation at the white house on the same day; (B) the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel, which was pre-determined before the Oval Office meeting.]

While McCabe was writing this afternoon memo, still May 16th, Rod Rosenstein took Robert Mueller to the ¹White House for a meeting in the oval office with President Trump and VP Mike Pence.

After six prior days of phone calls, emails and in person meetings, this visit to the White House was clearly Rod Rosenstein introducing Robert Mueller to the target of the investigation.  Rosenstein already knew he was going to appoint Mueller; and Mueller, along with the small group in the FBI, already knew Mueller was going to be appointed.

Later that night (May 16th), following the Mueller visit, there was a debriefing session back at Main Justice.  This evening meeting appears to be Lisa Page, Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe; along with Tashina Guahar again taking notes.

♦ Wednesday May 17th, 2017:  Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe go to brief the congressional “Gang-of-Eight”: Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, Devin Nunes, Adam Schiff, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Richard Burr and Mark Warner.

… […] “On the afternoon of May 17, Rosenstein and I sat at the end of a long conference table in a secure room in the basement of the Capitol. We were there to brief the so-called Gang of Eight—the majority and minority leaders of the House and Senate and the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. Rosenstein had, I knew, made a decision to appoint a special counsel in the Russia case.”

[…] “After reminding the committee of how the investigation began, I told them of additional steps we had taken. Then Rod took over and announced that he had appointed a special counsel to pursue the Russia investigation, and that the special counsel was Robert Mueller.” (link)

Immediately following this May 17, 2017, Go8 briefing, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein notified the public of the special counsel appointment.

According to President Trump’s Attorney John Dowd, the White House was stunned by the decision. [Link] Coincidentally, AG Jeff Sessions was in the oval office for unrelated business when White House counsel Don McGahn came in and informed the group.

Jeff Sessions immediately offered his resignation, and Sessions’ chief-of-staff Jody Hunt went back to the Main Justice office to ask Rosenstein what the hell was going on.

RUSSIAGATE – THEY HAD NOTHING – This investigative ‘small group’ were the people inside Main Justice (DOJ) and FBI headquarters who redacted the Lisa Page and Peter Strzok text messages; removed messages and communication antithetical to their goals; kept key documents and information away from congress; stalled any effort to expose the unlawful aspects of “SpyGate’ and the fraudulent foundation behind the Carter Page FISA application; and undermined any adverse discoveries in the leak investigations (ex. James Wolfe).

The DOJ/FBI investigative small group didn’t change when Mueller arrived, they just reorganized the focus of their effort based on lawfare leadership from Andrew Weissmann and new objectives.  Those same people who created the Trump-Russia collusion/conspiracy case of 2016, evolved into creating the Trump obstructing justice case of 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Everything Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein were doing in late 2017 and throughout 2018 was intended to drag-out the Russia conspiracy narrative as long as possible. There was really no Trump-Russia investigation taking place.

It was always the “obstruction” investigation that could lead to the desired result by Mueller’s team of taking down President Trump through evidence that would help Pelosi and Nadler achieve impeachment.  The “obstruction case” was the entirety of the case they were trying to make from May 2017 through to March 2019.

SPYGATE – Just as the New York Times reported, in its final days in office, the Obama Administration expanded the power of the National Security Agency (NSA) to share globally intercepted personal communication with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying any privacy protections.

The new rules were issued under section 2.3 of Executive Order #12333 after approval by two Obama Administration officials: Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Director of National Intelligence Director, James Clapper.

The new rules, which were issued in an unclassified document titled: “Procedures for the Availability or Dissemination of Raw Signals Intelligence Information by the National Security Agency (NSA),” significantly relaxed longstanding limits on what the NSA may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations.

These operations remain as largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws. Surveillances include collecting satellite transmissions, phone calls, and emails that cross network switches abroad, and messages between people abroad that cross domestic network switches.

The changes initiated by the Obama Administration in its waning days empowered far more government agents and officials to search through raw intelligence data. As a direct consequence of the change in policy, that the prospect of intel leaks grew exponentially.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch signed the new rules permitting the NSA to disseminate raw signals intelligence information on January 3, 2017 after Director of National Intelligence James Clapper signed them on December 15, 2016.

The targeting of Donald Trump required surveillance and spying.

The surveillance of Donald Trump never stopped.

The aspect that changed was the team extracting the information.  Hence, (FBI) Raw NSA extraction => (FBI) Crossfire Hurricane => (FBI) Robert Mueller => (FBI) Impeachment => (FBI) Mar-a-Lago Raid => (FBI) Jack Smith.

My Thoughts…. Robert Mueller spent the last 8 years of his life slowly sliding into a very dark place.  He lost his ability to think, he lost his ability to communicate, he lost his ability to take care of himself, he lost his ability to walk, he lost all joy and happiness, he lost his ability to live.  His family was also dragged into a very dark and depressing place while they awaited his end-of-life process.  It wasn’t a fast death. That sounds like hell.

[FOOTNOTE: I have always wondered why no journalist has ever asked President Trump about the meeting with Robert Mueller, organized by Rod Rosenstein on the day before the special counsel was appointed.  How did Trump feel about Rosenstein when he realized the meeting with Mueller was a ¹set up? (or did he realize it?).]

March 22, 2026 – Loyola University Student is shot and killed by illegal alien from Venezuela

Another innocent young American woman has been murdered by one of Joe Biden’s illegal aliens.

Very early Thursday morning, 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was shot and killed near campus in Chicago.

A masked gunman approached a group of students walking in Rogers Park and opened fire.

Gorman was shot in the head and died at the scene.

On Sunday it was confirmed that the masked gunman who killed Gorman is a 25-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela who entered the US under the Biden Regime.

Police took Jose Medina-Medina into custody.

Per Fox News reporter Bill Melugin: DHS confirms that the suspect in custody for murdering Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman in Chicago is a Venezuelan illegal alien who was caught & released at the border by the Biden administration in May 2023. DHS says he was also released from local custody after a shoplifting arrest in the sanctuary city of Chicago on June 19, 2023.

The Department of Homeland Security blasted the Biden Regime.

“Sheridan Gorman had her whole life ahead of her before this cold-blooded killer decided to end her life. She was failed by open border policies and sanctuary politicians who RELEASED this illegal alien TWICE before he went on to commit this heinous murder,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.

“We are calling on Governor Pritzker and Chicago’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this criminal illegal alien from jail back into American neighborhoods,” the DHS said. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 3/22/2026)  (Archive)

March 23, 2026 – Arizona: Former Maricopa County Recorder under investigation for obstruction

Arizona lawmakers revealed during a committee hearing that Maricopa County’s former recorder, Stephen Richer, is being investigated for obstruction.

The investigation into Richer was disclosed during last week’s House Federalism, Military Affairs, & Elections Committee meeting. The committee discussed an investigation by the office of State Rep. John Gillette (R-LD30), chair of the committee, into Arizona’s voter registrations. The findings of that investigation were packaged as part of a criminal referral to the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

As part of his layout of the criminal referral packet, Gillette touched on an action by Richer in which the former recorder, while president of the Arizona Association of County Recorders (AACR) in 2023, advised other county recorders to not comply with a records request from Arizona lawmakers concerning the 2022 election.

“Stephen Richer telling recorders not to comply with the legislative public records request. That is not a glitch. That’s on purpose,” said Gillette.

State Rep. Rachel Keshel (R-LD17), vice chair of the committee, asked Gillette whether Richer reaching out to all of the county recorders qualified as obstruction. Keshel characterized Richer’s recent public engagements as a “CYA campaign.”

“Is there something there that he broke the law by telling other recorders to basically obstruct on that point? Is anything being looked into on that front?” asked Keshel.

Gillette disclosed that he discussed Richer’s actions with former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and “her assistant,” and that Richer was being investigated for that communication with other recorders. (Read more: AZFreeNews, 3/22/2026)  (Archive)

March 22, 2026 – The taxpayer funded Nat’l Democratic Institute for Int’l Affairs (NDI) helps foreign countries set up elections; demands voter ID and proof of citizenship be required

Hello Representative Levin,

I’d like to introduce you to an organization called the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs.

NDI is one of the four core institutes of the National Endowment for Democracy, established by Congress in 1983. It is the Democratic Party’s official international arm. Its board members include Stacey Abrams, Donna Brazile, and Michael McFaul. Its previous chair was Madeleine Albright, who served until her death in 2022. Also on the board: Eric Kessler, founder of Arabella Advisors, the largest dark money network in Democratic politics.

NDI reported $181.5 million in revenue in fiscal year 2023, nearly all in government grants.

NDI’s mission, for four decades, has been to tell countries around the world how to run democratic elections. And what NDI consistently tells them, across dozens of countries, is that voter identification is a fundamental pillar of election integrity, and that proving citizenship is a basic prerequisite for participation.

Here is what NDI has demanded of other countries:

NDI’s foundational guide, Building Confidence in the Voter Registration Process (2001), describes voter ID systems as standard democratic infrastructure. It states that voter registries should contain “voters’ photographs and even their fingerprints” and that registered voters should be issued “a voter or other ID card that serves as proof of their right to vote.” NDI explains that “issuing ID cards, either national or voting, requires a second point of contact between election officials and voters, which introduces an additional safeguard into the system.” (pp. 10–11, 15)

NDI’s 2015 study of voter registration across the Middle East and North Africa goes further, laying out that voters must “prove their identity, essentially demonstrating that they are who they say they are” and must “affirm their citizenship and age.” (p. 11)

That same 2001 guide identifies married name changes as a routine voter roll maintenance challenge: “Election officials must update information about people who have moved or who have married and changed their surname.” NDI also notes that voter lists “may omit information about changes of address or name for those eligible people who have recently moved or married.” NDI’s recommendation is not to eliminate voter ID. It is to maintain clean, continuously updated voter rolls that accommodate name changes within the system.

In its 2009 Bangladesh report, NDI praised the country’s new photo-voter list and national ID card system, noting that the ID cards gave “a sense of empowerment and belonging to the disadvantaged and marginalized people of the country, particularly women.”

Read that again. NDI itself called voter identification empowering for WOMEN!

In every case, NDI’s position was identical: marriage-related name changes are a solvable administrative problem. The solution is better record-keeping and updated systems. Not fewer safeguards. Not the elimination of voter ID.

Your party’s own international arm has already solved the problem you bring up. The answer is: maintain the rolls. Update the records. Issue the IDs. Accommodate name changes within the system, don’t use them as a reason to have no system at all.

The exact opposite of what you push here – refusing to clean voter rolls.

By NDI’s own standards, by the standards of your own international soft power branch, YOUR position is the anti-feminist position.

The SAVE America Act asks Americans to do less than what NDI demands of Nicaragua, less than what NDI praises in Morocco, and far less than the biometric fingerprint-and-facial-recognition system NDI supervised in Nigeria. Eighty-four percent of Americans support photo ID to vote. Two-thirds of Democrats support it. Jimmy Carter’s own 2005 bipartisan commission recommended it.

You voted no. Your party’s international arm, funded with taxpayer money, chaired by your party’s former Senate leader (Tom Daschle), staffed by your party’s most prominent voting-rights advocate, says yes. For everyone else.

NDI’s guides are publicly available on their website. You might consider reading them before you spout mindless drivel to protect your own grift.

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

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

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

Cc: @POTUS @DeptofWar @SecWar @PeteHegseth

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

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

See archived article here.

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

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

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

Source

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

An ordinary woman would have backed down in fear.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There are so many others like Caputo who deserve accountability.

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

Walter Giardina (Credit: public domain)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Senator Eric Schmitt (Credit: public domain)

We just won Missouri v. Biden.

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

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

Missouri struck first—and Missouri won big.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

March 25, 2026 – Minnesota election Judge pleads guilty to letting unregistered voters cast ballots in 2024 election

Judge Timothy Michael Scouton (Credit: Hubbard County Sheriff’s Office)

In another devastating blow to the Democrats’ endless claims that there’s no election fraud, a Minnesota election judge has now pleaded guilty to a felony for deliberately allowing unregistered voters to cast ballots on Election Day.

Timothy Michael Scouton, 65, of Nevis, Minnesota, the head election judge in rural Badoura Township, Hubbard County, admitted in court on Monday that he allowed 11 unregistered individuals to vote without meeting the most basic legal requirements.

Scouton was responsible for ensuring that all voting procedures complied with Minnesota law.

Instead, prosecutors say he accepted ballots from voters who had not completed legally required registration forms, a fundamental safeguard in the election process.

The Gateway Pundit reported in 2024 that the investigation was initiated after Hubbard County Auditor Kay Rave discovered discrepancies in the election materials returned by Scouton.

Among the ballots and documents was a glaring omission: no completed voter registration forms for the 11 individuals who had reportedly cast ballots, according to KSTP.com.

According to court filings, Scouton underwent both basic election judge training and head judge training earlier this year.

On November 7, Rave alerted authorities after discovering that the required registration documentation for the 11 individuals was missing.

Scouton was then arrested and charged with two felonies for this outrageous scheme.

Scouton ultimately admitted in court this week that he allowed the votes to be cast without proper registration, acknowledging that his actions violated the law. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 3/25/2026) (Archive)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The process.

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

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

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

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

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

The HPSCI has voted to release the Atkinson Transcript.

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

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

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

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

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

Speaking of “problems that are not real…”

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

Or was that a different Mark Warner?

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

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

The real question is this Senator:

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

Did you participate in a coup and treason?

Are you an enemy combatant?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sponsors of the Hands Off Iran protest in Philadelphia March 26, 2026 (Credit: Surge Philly)

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

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

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

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

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

March 26, 2026 – The geopolitics behind Iran and beyond

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

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

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

1st was Europe, which laid the groundwork.

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

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

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

2nd was Syria.

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

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

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

3rd was Venezuela.

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

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

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

4th is Iran & the Middle East energy shock.

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

The only remaining scaled supplier? The United States.

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

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

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

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

But the US grand strategy goes deeper..

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The US is seizing all 3.

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

Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (Credit: Andrew Harnik/Getty Images)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The approval has triggered a political shockwave in Brussels.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lawyers for Rep Eric Swalwell sent FBI Director Kash Patel cease and desist letter.

“Attorneys for Rep. Eric Swalwell demanded in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that the bureau refrain from releasing decade-old investigative files involving the congressman’s purported ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative,” the Washington Post reported on Monday.

“Swalwell’s attorneys said in their letter that there was no justification for releasing the files, especially since the congressman had assisted the FBI in its investigation,” WaPo reported.

“The congressman has never been accused of wrongdoing in that matter and your attempt to release the file is a transparent attempt to smear him and undermine his campaign for governor of California,” the letter said, according to WaPo. “Your actions threaten to expose you, others at the FBI, and the FBI itself to significant legal liability.”

(…) Conservative reporter Nick Sortor previously confronted a drunk Swalwell about his relationship with Fang Fang.

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

(Credit: Conservative Treehouse)

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

KEY TAKEAWAYS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Free Tina Peters! @realtinapeters

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

UPDATE 4/3/2026

Trump confirms Pam Bondi is moving to a new position.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Take.

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

Action.

Take action.

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

See the theme? It’s agency.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

California is a cash machine.

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

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

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

Seemingly every state program has been compromised by criminals.

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

Welcome to Gavin Newsom’s empire of fraud.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

New Smurf Evidence

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

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

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

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

UPDATE: 4/4/2026

New York Times:

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

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

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

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

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

NYT:

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

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

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

NYT:

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

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

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

(Credit: video clipping)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In short:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“To me, it’s shocking.” ☠️

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

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

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

Middle East 24 reported:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

🔥 Neoliberal Chaos as a Governing Strategy

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

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

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

🧩 The Pattern Repeats: Ukraine and Beyond

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

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

🕸 The Logic Beneath It All

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

History will not remember it as diplomacy.

It will remember it as economic warfare against civilization itself.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Swalwell is currently running for governor of California.

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

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

Hello Representative Salazar,

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

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

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

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

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

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

And your constituents can see it.

We see you.

You are a fraud, Representative Salazar.

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

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

Pages 162-170… The Dream Act:

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

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

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

…which is literally mass amnesty

BUT THE BILL GOES EVEN FURTHER!!!

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

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

If you are an illegal aliens who:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But that’s not the story.

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

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

Ceasefire lasts fewer hours than a domestic flight.

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

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

Iran is a country negotiating with itself at gunpoint.

Trump already knows this.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Are you paying attention?

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

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

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

1. They have zero qualms about lying.

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

Sometimes I feel like Spock gawking at Doctor McCoy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Eric Ciaramella: The Democratic national security “whistleblower,” whose complaint led to President Trump’s impeachment. It’s not clear if Ciaramella also played a role in the drafting of the January 2017 assessment. (Credit: whitehouse.gov)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NEW RECORDS VIA @DNIGabbard @RepRickCrawford
ATKINSON TRANSCRIPTS

– First Trump Impeachment + Whistleblower Motive

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(U.S. Air Force graphic)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Originally, United States Senators were chosen by state legislatures.

This was not a procedural technicality.

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

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

The people would have their voice.

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

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

James Madison explained the purpose clearly:

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

The Senate was a structural mechanism for preserving that balance.

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

The 17th Amendment Removed a Structural Protection Against Federal Overreach

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

On its surface, the change sounded democratic.

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

Before the 17th Amendment:

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

After the 17th Amendment:

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

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

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

What Followed: Expansion of Federal Power Into State Domains

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

Among the commonly cited results:

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

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

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

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

The Founders Understood the Danger of Consolidated Power

Alexander Hamilton warned:

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

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

Federalism was never merely a technical arrangement.

It was a protection for liberty.

As George Mason warned:

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

The 17th Amendment blurred that boundary.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MAGA!

With commentary from @zach_rehl

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

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

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

And the force that helped force this unprecedented reversal?

Grok.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We won’t forget it.

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

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

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

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

Here’s the reality:

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

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

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

And guess what…

They’re ALMOST THERE.

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

This is NOT a joke.

💥No constitutional amendment.

💥No national vote law passed by Congress.

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

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

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

This isn’t some future idea.

This is happening RIGHT NOW.

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

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

These motherfuckers aren’t hiding it anymore.

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

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

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

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

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

And when it activates? Chaos.

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

Withdrawal clauses? Cute on paper.

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

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

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

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

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

The venom here is the slow boil:

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

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

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

This must be decimated. Immediately.

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

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

The Republic was never a democracy by design.

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

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

Appointed by President

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

April 16, 2026 – Judge unseals ATF report in Charlie Kirk assassination case

The Utah judge handling the case against Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin, Tyler Robinson, has just announced a ballistics report that showed that the bullet fragment could not be definitively linked to the suspected murder weapon — though the spent casing was confirmed as a match.

Prosecutors stated that a separate testing has found that the DNA on Robinson’s gun was also found on the towel that was wrapped around the rifle, along with three out of four rounds inside the gun.

Although the report from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) had been made public in previous court proceedings, the document itself has now been released from the court, and it includes additional details.

Judge Tony Graf determined that there was no basis to keep the filing classified, as it found that it did not contain any “private or inflammatory information.”

The tested materials included a “deformed/damaged” piece of the bullet jacket along with four lead fragments that were partially included as an exhibit in a defense motion filed under seal on January 9th, which asked the judge to hinder the government from conducting further testing until a defense expert could examine and document the evidence.

The ATF report noted “inconclusive” findings which mean that “an examiner’s opinion that there is an insufficient quality and/or quantity of individual characteristics to identify or exclude.”

Two law enforcement sources that were well-versed in the investigation also told Fox News in March that the reason the AFT was unsuccessful at matching the bullet to the rifle was due to the bullet breaking apart on impact with Kirk’s body.

“It is not a win for the defense,” said retired Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) supervisory agent, Jason Pack. “It is simply a gap the prosecution is now working to address by bringing in the FBI with more advanced technology.”

Ballistics are rarely the only piece of evidence in a homicide case, he added. And the unresolved findings only applied to the fragment, not the casing or the rifle found near the scene.

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

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

I don’t say that lightly.

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

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

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

They were inseparable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THERE IT IS.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LD: experimentation!!??

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lawsuit is being filed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(…)

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

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

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

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

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

Benny Johnson 1/26/2026

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

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

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

This is insane. We investigated. Check this out…

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

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

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

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

What is this?!

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

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

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

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

 

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

(Credit: Evan Vucci/AP)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It says:

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

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

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

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

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

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

CONCLUSION:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I report. You draw your own conclusions.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

🔺Duke openly boasts in the video….

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

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

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

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

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

These are chants straight from Aleksander Dugin’s playbook.

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

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

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

It was Dugin’s dream come true.

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

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

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

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

❓ So here’s the real question:

🔺Were they ALL getting paid by the SPLC?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Targets included:

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

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

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

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

The real-world consequences followed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

Grok question:

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

Answer:

Yes, it is federal law to remove deceased individuals from voter rolls. The primary requirement comes from the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), specifically Section 8 (52 U.S.C. § 20507). uscode.house.gov +1

Under the NVRA, states must “conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters by reason of—(A) the death of the registrant.” uscode.house.gov

This applies to voter registration lists used for federal elections. The law emphasizes that removals must be “uniform, nondiscriminatory, and in compliance with the Voting Rights Act of 1965.”
uscode.house.gov

The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) strengthens this by requiring states to maintain a single, centralized, computerized statewide voter registration list and to coordinate it with state agency records on death (as well as felony status where applicable). List maintenance must occur on a regular basis in line with NVRA rules. justice.gov +1

April 24, 2026 – USAID funneled $27 million through the Tides Center (Soros), with some of it going directly to the Southern Poverty Law Center

Incredible. USAID was funding the SPLC through an organization called the Tides Center, based in San Francisco.

From 2016 through 2024, USAID granted $27 million to the Tides Network to “strengthen global civil society organizations, promote transparency, accountability, citizen engagement, and serve as fiscal agent for USAID’s Civil Society Innovation Initiative.”

The Tides Center set up a fund through its Tides Foundation with that money for the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Vote Your Voice” initiative.

The executive director of the Tides Center is Ayesha Khanna. She was co-chair of Women for Obama in Atlanta, Georgia.

April 25, 2026 – A third assassination is attempted against Trump and administration officials at the White House Correspondents Association dinner

Popping noises were heard at the back of the White House Correspondents Association dinner. USSS agents ran down the center aisle past me. Screams from guests. They got the president and first lady out immediately as we dove to the floor. Some people hid under tables. A very short time later, security details began to escort top officials out. The dais was mostly cleared, including the very pregnant Karoline Leavitt. Stephen Miller shielded his wife, Katie, also pregnant, on the floor, until a security official reached their side. There was a bit of delay moving some cabinet secretaries out. Hegseth was still in the room for a bit, standing up looking around. David Urban lifted Dan Scavino’s wife Erin over a chair to speed their exit. Top staff asked if they could leave with the cabinet secretaries. Sean Duffy is still here at 9:13 pm. Linda McMahon just left.

During the press conference, President Trump released footage of Cole Allen in the lobby of the Washington Hilton.

Better view:

The president released a photo of the shooter:

h/t Gateway Pundit

The suspected shooter at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California.

Allen is in custody, despite initial reports that he was fatally shot, and was taken alive after Secret Service agents neutralized him in the lobby near the security screening area.

(…) Reports indicate Allen assembled a long weapon in an unsecured back room before attempting to open fire near the magnetometers.

Video footage circulating on social media shows law enforcement and Secret Service agents detaining a man on the ground in the Hilton lobby.

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: The suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting has been identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California.

-Video has emerged showing someone on the ground with U.S. Secret Service agents inside the Washington Hilton

-Believed to be the alleged shooter, taken into custody

-Allen reportedly assembled a long weapon in an unsecured back room before opening fire near the magnetometer screening area

-A law enforcement officer was struck in the vest during the incident

-Trump, Melania, and all protectees confirmed safe

The questions about how he got that close start now.

Allen appears to be a Caltech graduate who earned his master’s degree in computer science from California State University, Dominguez Hills last year.

Allen also worked as a teacher. He was named “Teacher of the Month” in December 2024 at C2 Education in Torrance, according to an Instagram post.

The shooting comes as the very same media figures who have spent weeks protesting Trump’s attendance at the dinner were demanding “forceful” pushback or outright boycotts.

More than 250 journalists, including Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson, have signed an open letter demanding that the White House Correspondents’ Association turn this Saturday’s dinner into a stage for a direct, “forceful” confrontation with President Donald Trump. (Credit: public domain)

WHCD Shooting Suspect Told Law Enforcement He Targeted Trump Officials, CBS News Sources Say

On Sunday it was revealed that Cole Allen wrote a manifesto and expressed his hatred for “pedophile, rapist” Trump.

Cole Allen’s manifesto sounded like Democrat-media talking points. He called himself a ‘friendly federal assassin.’

The shooter also mocked the Secret Service and said he walked right into the hotel with multiple weapons and no one noticed.

“Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance. I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat,” he wrote, according to The New York Post.

“The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before. Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again,” he wrote.

Per The New York Post:

Gunman Cole Allen sent an anti-President Trump manifesto to his family members about 10 minutes before opening fire at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner — calling himself the “Friendly Federal Assassin” and revealing he was trying to kill Trump administration officials, The Post has learned.

“Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial,” Allen wrote in the document, which a relative provided to police, a US official said.

“I’m not a schoolkid blown up, or a child starved, or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes.”

Allen described his targets as including “Administration officials (not including [FBI Director Kash] Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest.”

“I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” Allen wrote, apparently referring to the president.

NEWS: new info on the WHCD shooting suspect, Cole Allen, from the White House. I’ll be talking with President Trump about all of this in 30 minutes on @SundayBriefFNC

The suspect’s written manifesto clearly stated he wanted to target administration officials. He also had a ton of anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on his social media accounts.

ALLEN’s brother had notified New London PD (CT) of ALLEN’s alleged manifesto he had sent to his family members prior to the incident.

Secret Service and Montgomery County Police interviewed Avriana Allen, ALLEN’s sister, at their residence in Rockville, MD. The following highlights from the interview:

•Allen said her brother had a tendency to make radical statements and his rhetoric constantly referenced a plan to do “something” to fix the issues with today’s world.

•Confirmed ALLEN purchased two handguns and a shotgun from Cap Tactical Firearms and kept them stored at their parent’s home and that their parents were unaware that ALLEN was keeping the firearms in the home.

•ALLEN would regularly go to the shooting range to train with his firearms

•ALLEN was part of a group called ‘The Wide Awakes’

•ALLEN attended a ‘No Kings’ protest in California at some point

More Manifesto:

Accused White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman Cole Allen sent a chilling anti-President Trump manifesto to his family just before opening fire — calling himself the “Friendly Federal Assassin” and revealing he was hell-bent on killing Trump administration officials, The Post has learned.

Allen described his “targets” as including “Administration officials (not including [FBI Director Kash] Patel)… prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest” in the unhinged missive that went out about 10 minutes before the shooting Saturday night, two US officials said.

“I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” Allen wrote, apparently referring to the president. (Read more: New York Post, 4/26/2026)

Benny Johnson puts together a montage of the extreme leftwing response to the third assassination attempt on Trump:

“This guy did hear voices. They were Ted Lieu’s, they were Brandon Johnson’s, they were CNN’s, they were The View, they were MS NOW,” Gutfeld said.

“I think this is a helpful assassination attempt because it is the first one that shows you can be radicalized by liberal smugness,” he said.

“He wasn’t a crank. He was not deranged. Don’t buy into that narrative,” Gutfeld said. “He was just following orders.”

So-called Hakeem Jeffries is a disgrace to the United States Congress. He is deranged, disgusting and violent.

It is unacceptable that House Democrats continue to remain silent in the aftermath of his call for “maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time” against Republicans. Their casual acceptance of hateful and divisive language enables this out-of-control behavior.

Democrats must hold so-called Hakeem accountable.

Americans will not let the violent and thuggish behavior of so-called Hakeem go unchecked. Accountability is coming to all of these sick extremists.

April 27, 2026 – Epstein Files: Reports surface of young male victims at Zorro Ranch

For more than two decades, the public conversation surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes has centered almost exclusively on what he and his accomplices did to girls and young women. Yet a startling new disclosure from the unredacted federal files suggests the predator’s appetite for destruction extended further than the public ever knew. According to a sitting member of Congress who has reviewed the documents, a lawsuit alleges that young men were drugged and raped at Epstein’s secluded New Mexico compound, Zorro Ranch.

U.S. Rep. Melanie Stansbury, a New Mexico Democrat serving on the House Oversight Committee, told a Santa Fe podcast last month that one of the lawsuits buried in the file trove came from a man who said he was lured to the 7,500-acre ranch under the pretense of attending a party, only to be drugged and sexually assaulted. He further alleged that other young men at the same gathering suffered the same fate. The story, picked up this week by the New York Post, adds a previously underreported dimension to a scandal already saturated with horror.

That such an allegation existed in federal records for years without surfacing publicly raises an obvious question. How many other crimes committed at Zorro Ranch were quietly catalogued, redacted, and shelved while the architects of the cover-up assured the public that justice had been served?

  • A lawsuit referenced in the unredacted Epstein files alleges a man was drugged and raped at Zorro Ranch, along with other young men present at the same party.
  • Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) disclosed the allegation after reviewing federal documents as a member of the House Oversight Committee.
  • At least 10 girls and young women, including the late Virginia Giuffre and Annie Farmer, have alleged abuse at the 7,500-acre New Mexico compound dating to the mid-1990s.
  • The FBI never conducted a full forensic investigation of the ranch property, and a 2019 New Mexico state probe was halted at the request of federal prosecutors.
  • An anonymous 2019 tip claimed two “foreign girls” were buried in the hills near the ranch following sex acts that turned fatal — a claim never substantiated but never properly investigated either.
  • The ranch was sold from Epstein’s estate before a full forensic investigation could be completed; it is now owned by former Texas state Sen. Don Huffines, who renamed it Rancho de San Rafael and operates it as a Christian retreat.
  • New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez relaunched a criminal probe in February, and the state legislature unanimously approved a bipartisan truth commission to deliver an initial report by July 31.
  • Stansbury and other lawmakers have accused the U.S. Department of Justice of redacting names of “powerful perpetrators” in apparent violation of the statute permitting only victim redactions.

April 27, 2026 – The four major differences between leftwing political violence and rightwing political violence

Let me explain the four major differences between leftwing political violence and rightwing political violence:

1. Rightwing violence comes from the fringes of the conservative movement. Leftwing violence comes from the mainstream of the progressive movement.

2. Conservatives rarely encourage or glorify rightwing violence. Progressives routinely encourage and glorify leftwing violence.

3. Leftwing violence is such a common event that we hardly take notice of it unless it involves assassinating a major political figure–think of how routine Antifa/BLM style destruction of our cities has become. Rightwing violence is notable in its rarity.

4. Leftwing violence is often falsely attributed in the mass media to conservative beliefs. The opposite never happens.

An example of how they cook the books to absolve the Left of violence in the WSJ today: A graph it published that seems to show near parity between Left and Right wing political violence is sourced to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which by its own admission reclassified pro-Palestinian violence as “ethnonationalist”. It classifies all antisemitism as Right-wing, and all pro-Palestinian “attacks on Jewish individuals or institutions” as “ethnonationalist.” This is just nakedly partisan propaganda presented as “data” and then mainstreamed in the American press. More in my column below linked.

🚨 Cynical Publius nailed the four differences between leftwing and rightwing political violence.

The Left really just ignores — or openly excuses — all crime and violence from their own side.

That’s not a bug. It’s a feature.

🔥 **Mainstream vs Fringe**: Rightwing violence stays on the extreme edges and gets universally condemned by conservatives. Leftwing violence flows from the heart of progressive institutions — academia, media, Democrat politicians, NGOs, and activist groups. Antifa, BLM riots, campus takeovers, and now targeted assassinations get contextualized or celebrated.

🔥 **Glorification Gap**: Conservatives never bail out or fundraise for rightwing rioters. The Left literally set up bail funds for 2020 arsonists and looters while calling billion-dollar destruction “mostly peaceful.” They lionize killers and treat street violence as righteous “resistance.”

🔥 **Normalization**: Leftwing chaos has become background noise — nightly Antifa attacks in Portland, endless campus riots, targeted attacks on conservatives, and now multiple assassination attempts on Trump + Charlie Kirk’s murder. We barely blink anymore. Rightwing incidents remain rare and headline news for years.

🔥 **Media Inversion**: Every rightwing act gets blamed on “MAGA,” Trump, or conservatism writ large. Leftwing violence? “Mostly peaceful,” “root causes,” or falsely pinned on the Right. Classic projection.

The pattern is undeniable: the Left doesn’t just tolerate its own violence — it integrates it into the movement. Ends justify the means. Chaos advances the revolution.

Conservatives want to conserve a functioning society. The Left wants to burn it down and rebuild in their image.

No more false equivalence.

This is why the rhetoric and body count keep rising on one side only.

What to do? 🇺🇸

April 27, 2026 – Grassley resurrects old FBI investigation into Clinton Foundation donations and the Russian URANIUM 1 Deal

Wow. This new release from Chuck Grassley on the Clinton Foundation is a staggering 91 page treasure trove. I just skimmed it, and it is all there, Uranium One, Russia, Boeing, Haiti, Hillary’s brother, and all the other stuff. And the FBI did not even open a full investigation, whereas with Trump they had one false tip about barroom gossip from three months earlier and they immediately launched a full enterprise investigation. Absolute travesty that Comey, Strzok, Atkinson (who shows up here as well), and others have not been held to account.

2026-04-27 CEG to DOJ FBI (Uranium One Et Al.) by The Federalist

 

HOLY CRAP… a long awaited fuse has just been lit and a political BOMB is set to go off💥

🚨 Senator Chuck Grassley RESURRECTS old FBI Investigation into Clinton Foundation Donations and the Russian URANIUM 1 Deal

Q was right, and it’s absolutely mind-blowing… but first, context:

🔻 Uranium One was a Canadian mining company that, through acquisitions (including UrAsia Energy, co-founded by major Clinton Foundation donor Frank Giustra), controlled significant U.S. uranium assets—roughly 20% of U.S. uranium production capacity at the time (mines in Wyoming, Utah, etc.). Between 2009–2013, Russia’s state-owned nuclear giant Rosatom (via its subsidiary ARMZ) gradually acquired majority then full control of Uranium One in stages.

Because this involved U.S. critical minerals, it required unanimous approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)—an interagency panel of 9+ cabinet-level departments, including State (then led by Hillary Clinton), Treasury, Defense, etc. CFIUS approved it in 2010; President Obama SIGNED OFF; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission followed.

Frank Giustra: Canadian mining magnate and Clinton Foundation donor. In 2005, he and Bill Clinton traveled to Kazakhstan (a uranium-rich nation). Shortly after, Giustra’s UrAsia secured major Kazakh uranium concessions. Giustra later merged UrAsia into Uranium One (retaining stakes) and donated TENS OF MILLIONS to the Clinton Foundation (and pledged $100M+).

Ian Telfer: Uranium One chairman (post-merger). His family foundation donated ~$2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation (often routed through a Canadian entity).

Bill Clinton also received big money from various foreign entities… but we won’t go there.

Q repeatedly emphasized U1/Uranium as a cornerstone example of Clinton corruption and Pay-to-play treason for personal gain: “U1 [sale of US uranium to Russia] Sold out US and Risked US National Security for personal financial gain?

This was framed as a bigger plot to KILL the UNITED STATES FROM WITHIN, selling secrets, SAPs, AID, etc. — but it was “More than selling of URANIUM… >Crimes against Humanity”

Dems’ attacks on Trump/Ukraine were projection for their own Russia/U1 deals; closed financial systems (China/Russia/Iran) as common denominator.

Q drops treat U1 as proof the “deep state” protected the Clintons while weaponizing agencies elsewhere. Grassley’s document directly VALIDATES the existence of the 2016 FBI EC and unfinished investigative threads that Q claimed were buried, but will rock the political landscape once revealed.

Think dirty bombs.
Think The Sum of All Fears.
Think WW3.
Think 16 year plan to destroy America.

Obama, Hillary Clinton & the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Conspired to take The Hammond & Bundy Ranches for Uranium One and Russia

The floodgates are opening.

Senator Chuck Grassley has released a letter to the DOJ and FBI along with internal FBI records related to the Clinton Foundation and the Uranium One deal.

Here’s what it shows.

The documents confirm that the FBI opened a formal preliminary investigation in January 2016 into the Clinton Foundation. The concern was whether foreign governments and business figures used donations, speaking fees, or financial relationships to gain influence over U.S. government decisions while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.

Possible criminal violations based on the allegations and facts established to date, include the following:

• 18 USC §201 (Bribery of Public Officials)
• 18 USC §207 (Restrictions on former officers, employees, and elected officials of the Executive and Legislative branches)
• 18 USC §208 (Acts Affecting a Personal Financial Interest)
• 18 USC §1956 (Laundering of monetary instruments)

The investigation focused on a pattern: money flowing to the Clinton Foundation or related individuals, followed by favorable policy decisions, access, or business outcomes.

A bribery-related violation can occur even if no official action is ultimately taken, as long as a payment was made with the intent to influence a public official.

Some of the examples included:

• Donations from individuals tied to Uranium One during the time a Russian state company was seeking control of U.S. uranium assets
• A mining-related donation followed by U.S. diplomatic pressure that benefited that company
• Business deals in Colombia and elsewhere involving major donors who later received government approvals or concessions
• Payments for speeches or roles followed by policy or regulatory decisions (including Boeing and a UAE airport project)

The Uranium One deal was a central focus. This involved U.S. uranium assets being transferred to Russia’s state nuclear company, Rosatom, with approval from a U.S. government body that included the State Department. Investigators looked at whether donations tied to people involved in that deal were connected to the approval process.

The records show the FBI gathered reports, intelligence summaries, and conducted interviews. They also identified additional witnesses and evidence they still needed to pursue.

Key figures also ensnared in the investigation:

• Cheryl Mills
• Huma Abedin
• Anthony Weiner
• Frank Giustra
• Doug Band

At one point, investigators noted they had found no evidence “to date” of direct influence over the Uranium One approval, but that was a preliminary assessment, not a final conclusion.

What stands out is that the investigation appears to have never been fully completed. Internal records from 2018–2020 show:

• Key interviews still hadn’t been done
• Additional evidence was still being reviewed
• Several investigative requests were still pending

Grassley’s position is that the investigation uncovered serious patterns consistent with a potential pay-to-play scheme, but was left unresolved without a clear final outcome.

He is now demanding the DOJ and FBI turn over all records, including financial reports, interview transcripts, and unredacted documents, to determine what the government ultimately found.

This was a real federal investigation into potential pay-for-play involving the Clinton Foundation, it developed substantial leads and evidence, and according to this letter, it was never clearly finished or publicly resolved.

This may all change under FBI Director Kash Patel.

April 27, 2026 – Scott Jennings of CNN examines some of the rhetoric surrounding the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner

During a recent episode of his radio show, Scott Jennings of CNN examined some of the rhetoric surrounding the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, in which a crazed school teacher rushed the event in an effort to kill Trump and members of his team, and concluded that we have a left-wing violence problem in America.

It is impossible to disagree.

Some days, it actually feels like we are already engaged in a sort of civil war, where the bullets are only flying from one direction. The left has acted out in violence so many times over the last decade that it is starting to seem normal, which is not good.

Jennings broke it all down.

Townhall has details:

“In the hours that followed the dinner, which was postponed, a clear picture emerged. This man, a school teacher with a PhD from CalTech, had been marinated in standard-issue Left-wing talking points,” Jennings said, “things you hear every day on cable news and on the Left’s social media websites. He also attended a ‘No Kings’ rally, apparently, where people routinely hold signs and call for Trump’s death.”

“‘Trump is Hitler,’ ‘Trump is a fascist,’ ‘Trump is a racist,’ ‘Trump is a threat to democracy,’ ‘Trump is a pedophile.’ That is what Cole Allen was marinating in on a regular basis, and he was programmed by people like Congressman Ted Lieu,” Jennings noted.

Jennings then played a clip of Lieu speaking.

“Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times,” Lieu said. “In those files, there’s highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children. Of Donald Trump threatening to kill children.”

“Obviously, the shooter believed Ted Lieu’s lies and decided to do something about it,” Jennings said. “I mean, if you believed all the things they say about Trump, you could see how someone might get the idea that killing him is a good idea. Would it be a good idea to kill Hiltler, after all?”

“But when violent action occurs, we get Democrats immediately claiming they have no idea what you’re talking about,” Jennings continued. “Listen to Congressman Jamie Raskin on Sunday morning, the morning after this, on CNN. It’s jaw-dropping.”

Another example of violent rhetoric against Trump from a sitting Democrat congressman:

April 28, 2026 – Confronting Iran also aims at dismantling the British imperial financial and geopolitical system

Susan Kokinda argues that recent U.S. actions framed as confronting Iran are actually aimed at dismantling the British imperial financial and geopolitical system.

She cites Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s April 16 meeting with UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, highlighting the on-record “Economic Fury” campaign and U.S. tracking of financial flows to Iran that allegedly lead to London. The episode shows Trump is ending a decades-old “world extortion” model tied to the Strait of Hormuz, Lloyd’s war-risk insurance, and London’s commodity pricing power (gold, metals, oil benchmarks).

It also points to an Israeli–Lebanon ceasefire and Trump prohibiting Israeli strikes, arguing this removes Netanyahu’s leverage built on a perpetual Iran threat. With London’s pricing nodes shifting toward New York and the “special relationship” weakening, the Hudson Institute is said to be pinning hopes on a King Charles visit to the U.S.

In this midweek update, Susan Kokinda argues that Kevin Warsh’s Senate Banking Committee testimony—calling for “regime change” at the Federal Reserve and blaming inflation on excessive money creation—signals a broader shift aligned with the Trump administration against what she describes as an Imperial, British-led free-trade order.

She highlights Warsh’s criticism of post-2008 quantitative easing as benefiting financial asset holders while many Americans own no assets, and contrasts this with Democrats’ focus on divestment issues. Kokinda ties Warsh’s stance to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s emphasis on raising living standards over bailing out markets and to Trump’s comments on Fed independence.

She then points to Trump’s April 20 Defense Production Act action citing market failures in energy infrastructure, including transformer shortages, as national-security threats, linking this to energy independence and Iran, and contrasts it with Mark Carney’s globalist posture and references to the War of 1812.

Susan Kokinda links a third assassination attempt on Donald Trump at the Washington Hilton—where a 31-year-old Californian, Cole Tomas Allen, charged a Secret Service checkpoint with firearms and knives—to a broader political struggle she frames as the British imperial system versus Trump’s “American System.”

She argues Trump’s own remarks about assassinations point to a pattern of targeting “impactful” leaders, comparing today’s climate to anarchist-era killings around 1900 and the 1901 assassination of William McKinley.

Kokinda ties the attack’s timing to King Charles’ Washington visit, a new book, The Queen and Her Presidents, and a House of Lords/Chatham House report on “rebalancing” the UK–US partnership, highlighting UK dependence on the postwar “rules-based order” and concerns about a lasting US shift under Trump.

April 28, 2026 – A top adviser to Anthony Fauci has been indicted for his role in covering up the origins of the COVID-19 epidemic

Former Senior NIAID Official Indicted for Concealing Federal Records During COVID-19 Pandemic

“These allegations represent a profound abuse of trust at a time when the American people needed it most — during the height of a global pandemic,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “As alleged in the indictment, Dr. Morens and his co-conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19. Government officials have a solemn duty to provide honest, well-grounded facts and advice in service of the public interest — not to advance their own personal or ideological agendas.”

April 28, 2026 – Former FBI Director James Comey indicted again for Trump assassination Instagram post

(…) Federal prosecutors said they plan to prove former FBI Director James Comey’s intent through witness testimony, documents, and other evidence as he faces charges tied to an Instagram post authorities say threatened President Donald Trump.

While responding to questions about how the government will establish intent, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said prosecutors will rely on standard tools used in criminal cases.

“You prove intent with witnesses, with documents, and the defendant himself, to the extent it is appropriate,” Blanche said.

Blanche declined to preview specific evidence but emphasized the case is the result of a lengthy investigation, noting the alleged conduct dates back to May 2025 and was examined for months before charges were brought. (Read more: Fox News, 2026)  (Archive) (Indictment)

James Comey’s Instagram post. (Credit: James Comey)

BREAKING: DOJ sources tell me prosecutors are pursuing a “forfeiture action” in relation to James Comey’s alleged felonies because they believe Comey posted the “86” Trump threat to also help drum up sales of a forthcoming book. Comey posted the image five (5) days before the May 20, 2025, release of his new crime novel. Controversy over the posting thrust Comey back into the headlines and drew potential book buyers to his Instagram and X accounts where he heavily promoted the book.

According to the Comey indictment, “Upon conviction, the defendant shall forfeit to the United States any property, real or personal, which constitutes or is derived from proceeds traceable to the said offense.”

Too many people are either ignorant of the facts, or being obtuse as relates to Comey’s “8647” (in shells!) Instagram post.

It was not a simple “one-off” post. Faulty premise and factually incorrect.

So everyone comparing it to Jack Posobiec’s 2022 tweet of “8646” is not comparing comparables.

Also, not an irrelevant factor – Jack is not the former Director of the FBI!

Posobiec’s tweet was stupid. And I would expect to be investigated and possibly charged if I were to ever post anything so stupid.

That says, now back to it not being a “one-off” possibly ambiguous tweet:

People are either unaware of, or ignoring the context of Comey’s Instagram post. It was not a “one-off”. It was actually the second in a series of three posts, all of which were connected, self-referential, and clearly deliberately so.

Post 1: Comey at the beach, reading his new book, FDR Drive (image attached).

Post 2: 8647 in shells.

Post 3: The summary of his new book which he is reading in Post 1. That summary:

“Garcia believes Buchanan went far beyond the protection of the first amendment when *he singled out his enemies by name* and *suggested “something should be done” about them*. His fans have obliged, killing or grievously, injuring some of his foes.”

Comey is telling you exactly what he is doing.

Reading his book.

Singling out his enemies by name (as close as he can get) – 47 for Trump.

Suggesting “something should be done about them” – 86 for kill or eliminate.

And “his fans have obliged” from his book description that he posted.

All of the elements are there to eliminate any ambiguity as to what common meant – sandwiching his 8647 in shells in between a picture of him reading his book, and a summary of his book – which has to do with calling out enemies by name, suggesting something should be done to them, and his fans obliging.

The indictment is as bare bones as it can possibly get.

I don’t know why. If I were drafting it, I would have included these details. But, according to some American attorneys, the indictment need not include every single allegation in it, just the essential.

And this indictment should have been brought last year. I cannot possibly fathom what took 11 months to investigate.

That said, anyone pretending there’s ambiguity, or pretending to offer serious analysis while ignoring or being unaware of the actual context – now deleted – of what Comey actually did (clearly setting out knowledge and intent) is either ignorant or dishonest. Either way, their opinions should be disregarded.

Comey reads the book he wrote while lounging on the beach. Who does that?

April 29, 2026 – A family of 3 are indicted on federal charges connected to attack on TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez

Today, Christopher, Deyanna, and Paige Ostrouchko were indicted by a grand jury for allegedly assaulting journalist and Turning Point USA contributor Savannah Hernandez, while she was lawfully reporting on anti-ICE protests outside a federal building in St. Paul.

Hernandez was allegedly surrounded, physically assaulted, and shoved to the ground — simply because she was identified by the defendants as a conservative journalist. That is NOT “peaceful protest.” These deplorable actions as charged in the indictment will not be tolerated in America, and this Department of Justice will always punish unhinged acts of political violence.

April 28, 2026 – Obama’s Secret Stay Behind Army

Obama’s Secret Stay Behind Army

Obama literally created “The Department of The Deep State” at the flick of a pen. The Senior Executive Service, or “SES” was created on September 19, 1979 during the Carter administration.

It was originally formed to professionalize career civil service, while attracting the nation’s best and brightest in an effort to improve and moderate the management of the federal bureaucracy.

A position within the “SES” is considered the equivalent to general officer or the flag officer ranks in the U.S. Armed Forces. For that reason, they are often referred to as our “civilian generals.”

The SES was to be a corps of non-partisan, career managers who serve as the executive management of federal agencies. Their job being to implement policy, not create it. At least it was until then President Obama changed that with a mere flick of his pen, making SES members nearly impossible to fire, once hired.

To say Obama’s transformation of the SES into an army of political operatives was effective would be a gross understatement.

There are more than 2 million federal employees. And at the top of that pyramid are approximately 8,000 SES (Senior Executive Service) employees who service as the professional managerial class linking our political leaders to the civil service rank and file.

And Barack Obama as president, replaced more than 6,000 members of the 8,000-member SES during his 2 terms, assembling what became a stay-behind army of political operatives.

Here’s a list of the number of SES employees that were embedded in the following government agencies at the end of Obama’s 2nd term in 2016:

Department of Education – 86
Department of Housing & Urban Development – 115
Department of the Air Force – 182
Department of Labor – 200
Department of State – 204
Department of Transportation – 231
Department of Interior – 258
Department of the Army – 261
Department of the Navy – 326
Department of Veterans Affairs – 357
Department of Agriculture – 361
Department of Commerce – 425
Department of the Treasury – 458
Department of Health & Human Services – 468
Department of Defense – 478
Department of Energy – 490
Department of Homeland Security – 639
Department of Justice – 821
All Other Agencies (non-Cabinet agencies) – 1,796

And it wasn’t just a purge of patriots from governmental agencies. Obama’s purge of the military was especially damaging to our national security, as he literally gutted the command structure of the U.S. military.

Cleaning out the filth from decades of infiltration and then Obama’s embedded political operatives has been a long uphill battle in taking back our country and restoring our republic to making America great again.

All roads lead to Obama.

April 29, 2026 – Ron Johnson hearing: Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals

Today, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, will hold a hearing entitled, “Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals.”

In conjunction with the hearing, the chairman released an interim Majority Staff Report, along with approximately 600 pages of records detailing how in early 2021, Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) officials became aware of a new, “state of the art” data mining method that could better detect statistically significant safety signals for adverse events associated with the COVID-19 vaccines. Rather than adopt the “state of the art” method, Biden health officials continued to employ their older data mining method with known limitations that prevented FDA from detecting adverse events.

Key findings from the report include:

  • In 2021, Dr. Ana Szarfman, who at the time was a senior medical officer and safety data mining developer at FDA and helped develop the FDA’s data mining system, made senior FDA officials — including Dr. Peter Marks, who led the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research — aware of a “superior” data mining method that could adjust for “masking,” a known limitation of the FDA’s current data mining system that hid signals for adverse events. However, senior FDA officials chose not to utilize this more effective methodology.
  • Between March 2021 and July 2021, Dr. Szarfman shared analyses of COVID-19 vaccine adverse event reports using the more effective methodology with FDA officials that, unsurprisingly, detected far more statistically significant safety signals for adverse events associated with COVID-19 vaccines.
    • One analysis identified “49 examples of extreme masking,” including approximately 25 statistically significant safety signals for adverse events that were not previously detected, such as sudden cardiac death, Bell’s palsy, and pulmonary infarction.
    • Other analyses Dr. Szarfman shared identified statistically significant safety signals with higher values for adverse events, including acute myocardial infarction associated with the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines, non-site specific embolism and thrombosis associated with the Janssen and Pfizer vaccines, and death and sudden death associated with the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines.
  • FDA officials appear to have been more concerned with Dr. Szarfman’s efforts than the alarming findings, with Dr. Peter Marks warning Dr. Patrizia Cavazzoni, the then-Director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, that Dr. Szarfman’s data mining could “create erroneous conflicts that feed in to anti-vaccination rhetoric.” FDA officials eventually directed Dr. Szarfman to “hold off on creating and sending data mining reports and analyses.”
  • In 2022, FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) officials discussed limiting the distribution of FDA’s weekly data mining reports on COVID-19 vaccines with one CDC official writing, “I think that because of the FOIAs [Freedom of Information Act requests] we may have asked FDA to stop sending these weekly data mining outputs.”

The hearing will be livestreamed on Sen. Johnson’s X account, Rumble, and Subcommittee’s website.

April 29, 2026 – John Thune blocks a permanent ban on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and refuses to pass the Save America Act

🚨 RINO JOHN THUNE STABS AMERICA IN THE BACK YET AGAIN: Refuses CBDC Ban in ANY Legislation, Also Declares “NO SAVE AMERICA”

Another day, another warning sign from the Washington establishment.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has reportedly will BLOCK a permanent ban on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in ANY legislation the House sends over, and also “No SAVE America.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL)
@RepLuna
, one of the few true fighters left in Congress, dropped this bombshell warning to the nation.

And shortly after Luna’s post, Rep. Tim Burchett
@timburchett
confirmed it on his X account.

This comes as House are desperately trying to protect the American people from the coming CBDC surveillance nightmare.

A Central Bank Digital Currency would give the corrupt Federal Reserve and the Democrat deep state the power to track every transaction you make, freeze your accounts if you buy a gun or attend a Trump rally, and turn the United States into a totalitarian digital prison state.

This is the same technology the Chinese Communist Party uses to enslave its people, and Thune is rolling out the red carpet for it.

April 29, 2026 – New text messages reveal Biden DOJ lawyers fantasized about prosecuting Catholic nuns

Justice Department prosecutors in the Biden administration discussed their desire to target Catholic nuns, text messages shared with The Daily Wire show.

Communications obtained by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) show Joseph Cooney and Molly Gaston texting one another in February 2021 as they scoured media coverage of January 6. The texts specifically reference a New York Times photo of religious sisters who attended the , wearing traditional habits and veils, as well as big Trump scarves around their necks.

“I would like to take a special assignment of finding and prosecuting them,” Gaston wrote to Cooney.

“I’m with you,” responded Cooney. “Although I’d like to prosecute any nun who still wears the head habit.”

“Hahaha,” his fellow DOJ prosecutor responded.

The Justice Department provided the communications to Grassley as part of his investigation into Arctic Frost, an FBI investigation into Republicans and conservatives. Both Cooney and Gaston went on to serve as top deputies to Special Counsel Jack Smith throughout his Arctic Frost investigation. They now head “Gaston & Cooney PLLC,” and Cooney is running for Congress in Virginia.

(…) Cooney, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment, is now running as a Democrat for a congressional seat in Virginia — specifically Virginia’s 7th congressional district, which is part of the Diocese of Arlington, one of the most traditional Catholic dioceses in the United States serving over 430,000 Catholics in the Northern Virginia area.

He’s running on an overtly anti-Trump platform, telling CNN last week: “Donald Trump needs to be impeached. I’m running for Congress to do it.”

April 30, 2026 – Hakeem Jeffries publicly calls the Supreme Court “illegitimate”

Dan Abrams ripped House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) Thursday for calling the U.S. Supreme Court “illegitimate.”

Jeffries made the comments after the court ruled 6-3 to erode the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act that gave voters the ability to challenge electoral maps as “racially discriminatory.”

“Today’s ruling by this illegitimate Supreme Court strikes a blow against the Voting Rights Act and is designed to undermine the ability of communities of color all across this country to elect their candidate of choice,” Jeffries said at a Wednesday press conference.

President Donald Trump responded on Truth Social, calling Jeffries “a Low IQ individual, who should not be allowed to talk that way about one of the Greatest Institutions anywhere in the World. He should withdraw the statement, IMMEDIATELY!”

Abrams, the founder of Mediaite and the host of The Dan Abrams Show on SiriusXM’s POTUS channel, called out the ranking Democrat in the House for attacking the credibility of the high court.

“Shame on Hakeem Jeffries! Shame on him for referring to this court as illegitimate!” Abrams said on The Dan Abrams Show. — during a conversation with Sean Trende, senior elections analyst at RealClearPolitics.

“You can disagree with the ruling. You can believe it’s a bad ruling. You can believe it has an impact you disagree with and believe is dangerous. But it is even more dangerous to start calling this court illegitimate. The minute we have partisans on both sides referring to this court as illegitimate, we are going to have no arbiter of anything in this country. You want to talk about a constitutional crisis. It’s gonna come because people will think of the court as illegitimate!” (Read more: Mediaite, 5/3/2026)  (Archive)

April 30, 2026 – Dem Rep suggests Pete Hegseth could be executed for war crimes like NAZI sub captains

In a stunning escalation of partisan rhetoric, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) declared on national television that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is “guilty” of war crimes — and compared U.S. military operations against drug-smuggling boats to the actions of Nazi submarine captains executed after World War II.

The remarks, delivered Wednesday on CNN’s OutFront, come as the Trump administration presses aggressive action to dismantle narco-terrorist networks flooding America with deadly fentanyl and other poisons.

Instead of backing efforts to secure the homeland, Moulton opted to invoke the language of international tribunals.

(…) The X post capturing the moment quickly went viral, with users reacting in disbelief at a sitting congressman invoking execution rhetoric against a Trump cabinet official.

This isn’t isolated grandstanding. It fits a clear pattern: Democrats framing routine counter-narcotics operations — strikes on vessels tied to designated terrorist organizations like Tren de Aragua operating on known smuggling routes — as criminal acts worthy of prosecution.

Dems Side With NARCO-TERRORISTS: Rep. Himes Spins Sob Story About ‘Terrified Men’

 

Hegseth’s Pentagon has been blunt about the mission: these are lethal, kinetic strikes against narco-terrorists poisoning American communities. Intelligence confirms the targets’ affiliations and routes. Yet Moulton and his allies prefer to romanticize the boat crews as innocent fishermen and demand accountability for those actually fighting the scourge.

Watch: Biden Called For Strike Force To Crush Drug Cartels IN 1989!

The timing is no coincidence. Less than a week after another high-profile political violence incident, Moulton’s Nazi comparison and talk of executions pour gasoline on an already volatile climate. Democrats have repeatedly shown they view Trump administration officials not as legitimate leaders chosen by voters, but as targets for lawfare, congressional harassment, and public demonization.

This rhetoric reveals the left’s playbook in the post-2024 era. Unable to win at the ballot box on issues like border security and drug interdiction, they reach for the DOJ, the media, and inflammatory accusations to delegitimize and destroy political opponents.

Seth Moulton, you pathetic, boot-licking disgrace.

You went on national TV, wrapped yourself in your Marine record, and straight-up called for executing Pete Hegseth as a “war criminal” You compared him to Nazi U-boat captains who got the rope. A sitting Congressman openly fantasizing about putting a political opponent to death. That’s not rhetoric. That’s deranged bloodlust.

Real Marines don’t do that. You’re a sniveling traitor to the uniform, a power-drunk hack consumed by Trump Derangement Syndrome, and a walking reason why millions no longer trust Democrats with power. You’re not defending anything, you’re normalizing political executions in America.

May 1, 2026 – Judicial Watch Victory: Court rejects D.C. bid to hide January 6 bodycam footage

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that a Washington, D.C. court ruled that Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) cannot broadly blur and censor body-worn camera (BWC) footage from January 6, 2021. The MPD had previously claimed that such redactions were necessary to protect personal privacy and asserted that complying with the request would cost more than $1.5 million due to the volume of footage, which reportedly exceeds one thousand hours.

The ruling follows a January 8, 2026, hearing before Judge Veronica Sanchez in Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for all bodycam footage recorded by Metropolitan Police officers who responded to the U.S. Capitol on January 6 (Judicial Watch v. District of Columbia (No. 2024-CAB-003453)).

In its order, the court rejected the District’s argument that it could justify redacting under D.C. FOIA exemptions the faces and voices of all non-law enforcement individuals captured in the footage.

The court found that while individuals appearing in the footage may have a limited privacy interest, that interest is minimal and does not outweigh the strong public interest in disclosure. The court emphasized that the events of January 6 occurred largely in public settings, were widely recorded, and remain a matter of significant national concern.

Concerning the individuals’ privacy interests, the court explained that the individuals present could not reasonably expect that their appearances would remain private:

The circumstances leading up to the events at the U.S. Capitol Complex included a large, public, televised event on the National Mall. Individuals were gathered in a public arena. The crowd then marched to the U.S. Capitol Complex where members of congress were partaking in the certification of the Presidential election results live on television.

***

The individuals on the [body-worn cameras] could not “reasonably expect that their appearances on the [BWC] would remain private.” … A person’s privacy interest is greater in the release of images and video footage that were taken without their “knowing consent.” … Even though the individuals recorded on the subject BWCs may not have consented to their images being recorded, they certainly had reason to believe that the many law enforcement officers, as well as the surveillance cameras at the government owned property, were recording them. Additionally, during the events of January 6, simultaneous media images from both inside the U.S. Capitol and around the U.S. Capitol Complex were being broadcast, streamed, and uploaded. While the individuals may have not all “knowingly consented” to the images being recorded, they had reason to know they were.

Concerning the public interest, the court stated:

The events of January 6, 2021, have been the topic of much debate, discussion, and scrutiny in the public consciousness by not just the residents of the District of Columbia but also the nation. BWC footage of the events at the Capitol on January 6 could “contribute significantly” to the public’s understanding of the events on that day and the MPD’s actions.

The court concluded, “In balancing the privacy interests which are little more than de minimis with the public interest, the public interest outweighs the privacy interests. … [T]he faces and voices of individuals captured by MPD’s BWCs on January 6, 2021, are not exempt from disclosure.”

“This is a major victory for transparency and the rule of law,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “As the court found, the American people have a right to see this secret D.C. police January 6 footage. Judicial Watch will now push for the immediate release of the videos.”

🚨 Biden Judge FORCES Release of Disgraced Fanone’s FULL Unredacted Jan. 6 Bodycam — 1,000+ Hours DC Tried to Bury for FIVE YEARS! The full record belongs to the public — no redactions, no excuses, no editing. 🔥

‘Sunlight is the best disinfectant’ — Justice Brandeis, 1913.

Even a Biden-appointed judge agrees. On May 1, 2026, D.C. Superior Court Judge Veronica M. Sanchez ruled in Judicial Watch v. District of Columbia (2024-CAB-003453) that MPD must release 1,000+ hours of unredacted bodycam footage from January 6 — including Michael Fanone’s.

No more blanket blurring of faces and voices. No more $1.5 million ‘privacy’ excuses. The Court held the public interest in this nationally televised convulsion outweighs any de minimis privacy claim.

Years of curated clips turned Fanone into the left’s emblematic hero. Now the raw, unfiltered tunnel footage — every shove, tase, and chaotic second — returns to the people’s tribunal.

This isn’t partisan theater. This is FOIA doing its job. Primary evidence over partisan primers. Let every frame be judged without script or spin.

The unredacted archive is coming! Will the narrative survive the raw unedited record? Fanone is and always has been a fraud.

The paramedics had found nothing wrong with Michael Fanone 10 minutes after his op was over. This is 10 minutes after he said he had a heart attack and later posed in a hospital bed hooked up to a bunch of machines as part of the propaganda smear of January 6th.

May 1, 2026 – Former Florida GOP congressman is found guilty for lobbying against sanctions on behalf of Venezuela, violating FARA Act and money laundering

Former U.S. Congressman David Rivera waits to enter the James Lawrence King Federal Justice Building as he faces trial on charges of illegally lobbying U.S. officials to prevent further economic sanctions against ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s government, in Miami, Florida, U.S., March 24, 2026. (Credit:Marco Bello/Reuters)

A federal jury in Miami found a former U.S. Congressman and lobbyist guilty of secretly lobbying on behalf of the Venezuelan government and laundering millions of dollars tied to that work, in violation of the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA).

“These convictions expose a simple truth: the defendants sold access and influence to a hostile foreign regime for money,” said U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones for the Southern District of Florida. “They accepted millions tied to the Maduro regime, concealed that relationship from the United States government, and used trusted personal and political relationships to secretly advance the interests of Venezuela’s regime. In South Florida, where so many families fled communist oppression, that kind of betrayal carries real weight. The Foreign Agents Registration Act exists to protect transparency and safeguard our democracy from covert foreign influence. If you secretly act on behalf of a foreign government in violation of federal law, you will be investigated, prosecuted, and convicted.”

“Today’s verdict sends a clear and powerful message: our democratic processes are not for sale to foreign adversaries. Choosing to prioritize personal greed over legal transparency, David Rivera and Esther Nuhfer violated the Foreign Agent Registration Act by lobbying for the interests and benefit of the Venezuelan government,” said Brett Skiles, Special Agent in Charge, FBI Miami. “Using coded messages and laundering millions of dollars to fund personal lifestyles and political campaigns, these defendants thought they could operate in the shadows. This conviction proves that no matter how much ‘coded language’ is used or how high-ranking the conspirators may be, the FBI and its partners will remain steadfast in identifying and investigating those who covertly serve foreign interests at the expense of the American public’s trust.”

“This verdict underscores what can be achieved when federal partners combine their investigative strengths,” said Ron Loecker, Special Agent in Charge, IRS Criminal Investigation, Florida Field Office. “Following the money is what IRS Criminal Investigation does best, and our agents worked tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to uncover the illegal activity driving this foreign influence scheme. IRS Special Agents will continue to pursue criminals, regardless of how sophisticated the scheme or influential the individuals involved.”

According to court records and evidence presented at trial, David Rivera, 60, and Esther Nuhfer, 51, obtained a $50 million contract with a subsidiary of Venezuela’s state-owned and state-controlled oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), to advance the interests of the Venezuelan regime in the U.S. Without registering as foreign agents as required by law, Rivera and Nuhfer lobbied U.S. officials — including then-U.S. Senator Marco Rubio and U.S. Representative Pete Sessions — and arranged meetings between U.S. policymakers and high-ranking Venezuelan officials, including then-President Nicolas Maduro and then-Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez. In text message exchanges, Rivera and Nuhfer used coded language to describe their activities.

The evidence further showed that Rivera used approximately $600,000 from the contract proceeds to fund his Florida state congressional campaign, among other personal uses. Nuhfer used approximately $455,000 of the proceeds for the purchase of a residence in Key Colony Beach.

The jury found Rivera guilty of conspiracy to violate FARA, a violation of FARA, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and four counts of engaging in transactions in criminally derived property. Nuhfer was convicted of conspiracy to violate FARA, a violation of FARA, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and one count of engaging in transactions in criminally derived property.

Rivera faces a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison.  Nuhfer faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.  A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

U.S. Attorney Reding Quiñones; Special Agent in Charge Brett D. Skiles of the FBI, Miami Field Office; and Special Agent in Charge Ronald A. Loecker of the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), Florida Field Office, made the announcement.

Senior Trial Counsel Harold Schimkat, Assistant U.S. Attorney Roger Cruz, and Trial Attorney David Ryan of the Justice Department’s National Security Division are prosecuting the case.

May 1, 2026 – The Democrat redistricting racket takes a major hit; SOTU overturns misinterpreted section of Voting Rights Act and ends racial gerrymandering

May 1, 2026 – PA man running for U.S. Senate threatens to kill Trump, a congressman, and his daughter

A Pennsylvania man who recently launched a campaign for U.S. Senate is accused of leaving a series of violent voicemails threatening President Donald Trump and a member of Congress’s family, according to unsealed federal court documents on Friday, May 1.

Raymond Eugene Chandler III, of Wilkinsburg, was arrested and charged after a federal investigation into repeated threats made over voicemail, authorities said.

Chandler is charged with influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a federal official by threatening a family member and by threat, according to the affidavit.

The criminal complaint, unsealed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleges Chandler left multiple messages targeting an unnamed member of Congress and President Trump between April 2025 and April 2026.

In one voicemail on April 18, 2026, Chandler allegedly described a graphic scenario in which the congressman and his daughter would be attacked, saying they would be “pull[ed]… out of your house” and have their “throat… slit,” according to the affidavit.

Days later, on April 29, 2026, Chandler allegedly left another message urging the lawmaker to assassinate President Trump, telling them to “walk into the Oval Office with a gun in your hand… put it to the President’s head… and… pull the trigger,” the affidavit states.

Authorities said the calls were part of a broader pattern of escalating rhetoric. The affidavit outlines additional messages in which Chandler allegedly voiced support for armed resistance against federal agents, discussed building gallows for the congressman, and claimed he had purchased weapons out of fear of the government.

Due to the nature of the threats, increased security measures were implemented for federal officials and their families, investigators noted.

Chandler made an initial appearance in federal court in Pittsburgh on Friday, where he was advised of the charges. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Thursday, May 8.

According to federal authorities, Chandler had been leaving voicemails for the congressional office for approximately a year, identifying himself by name and address during the calls.

Hours before his arrest, Chandler posted a YouTube video as part of his campaign for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. In the video, titled “It’s time to tax the billionaires,” he said he planned to challenge Sen. John Fetterman in 2028 and outlined a platform focused on wealth redistribution and economic reform.

Hey friends, I’m Raymond and I’m running for U.S. Senate to replace John Fetterman in 2028. In this video I expose the realities of the wealth inequality problem in the United States.

Raymond Chandler III for U.S. Senate-PA in 2028!

In his YouTube channel description, Chandler described himself as a first-generation college graduate from a working-class family and said he supports policies such as a wealth tax, universal healthcare, universal basic income, and the abolition of ICE.

His campaign website, chandlerforsenate.com, lists priorities including taxing billionaires, expanding social programs, regulating Big Tech, and “ending cruelty in government.”

An online fundraising page tied to his campaign on ActBlue was no longer active as of Friday, returning a 404 error.  (Read more: AOL, 5/2/2026)  (Archive)

More on the voicemail threats:

(…) Authorities say that Chandler left a second message to the congressman, saying: “You’ve probably getting quite used to my voice. Sir, I’m calling this evening because what I want you to do is I want you to take a firearm. I want you to put it in your hand. I want you to walk into the Oval Office. I want you to put that firearm to the President’s head, and I want you to pull the trigger and I want you to kill him.”

“He’s a liar among all liars,” Chandler continued. “He’s a great deceiver. He’s the antichrist. I want you to walk into the Oval Office with a gun in your hand. I want you to put it to his temple, and I want you to pull the trigger.”

“I want you to kill the President,” Chandler added. “I want you to assassinate the President.”

While court documents do not name the elected official Chandler allegedly called, Chandler does refer to the individual as “Senator” and as well as his representative. Chandler’s campaign website denotes that he is running against Sen. John Fetterman and contains an open letter to Republican Sen. David McCormick where he states: “Is your wealth really worth the deaths of millions of people, that will result from your hoarding of it? I am telling you, the next shock to the system will result in violent revolution – of which you cannot be saved from. I’m not threatening it. I hope to God it doesn’t come, that is why I am developing this plan now, so we can prevent it from coming.”

Chandler’s website does not indicate party affiliation itself, but does contain a link to ActBlue, the platform used for fundraising by the Democrat Party. The link has been disabled at this time. (Read more: TownHall, 5/3/2026)

May 2, 2026 – Stanford biosecurity expert says AI chatbot gave him a blueprint for genocidal bioweapon, including step-by-step instructions

Dr. David Relman (Credit: Atomic Scientists)

Stanford University microbiologist and longtime U.S. government biosecurity advisor Dr. David Relman has revealed that an AI chatbot handed him a detailed, unprompted plan for engineering and deploying a genocidal bioweapon capable of mass casualties.

The incident, which occurred during a formal safety test last summer, highlights how leading AI models are lowering the barrier to bioterrorism, shifting it from expert-level knowledge to simple prompting.

Dr. Relman, a prominent microbiologist who has advised the federal government on biological weapons threats, was specifically hired by an unnamed AI company, under a confidentiality agreement, to “pressure-test” or red-team its chatbot before public release.

These tests are designed to probe for catastrophic risks, including biosecurity threats.

While working alone in his home office one evening, Relman engaged the model in a conversation about safety limits. The AI went far beyond any direct query. It explained in detail how to modify an “infamous pathogen” in a laboratory setting to make it resistant to all known treatments, how to exploit a specific security lapse in a large public transit system for optimal release, and included a full deployment strategy designed to maximize casualties while minimizing the chances of the perpetrator being caught, according to a report from the New York Times.

The bot even offered additional steps Relman had not asked for.

“It was answering questions that I hadn’t thought to ask it, with this level of deviousness and cunning that I just found chilling,” Relman told the New York Times.

The scientist was so shaken by the exchange that he took a walk outside to clear his head.

Relman reported the dangerous output to the company, which made some adjustments to the model. However, he stated that the fixes were insufficient to guarantee public safety, raising alarms about whether current safeguards can ever fully contain these risks.

Relman’s experience is not isolated. The New York Times obtained more than a dozen similar transcripts from biosecurity experts who were testing publicly available and pre-release AI models. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 5/2/2026)  (Archive)

May 2, 2026 – Ilhan Omar’s name comes up six times in $250M fraud case — after she loosened oversight of fed funded food programs

Aimee Bock and Ilhan Omar (Credit: public domain)

“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar’s name appears at least six times in recently resurfaced court documents from the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud case, fueling speculation about whether the Minnesota socialist had a hand in the widespread scam in her district.

The documents were part of the 2025 federal trial of Aimee Bock, the founder of the Feeding our Future nonprofit who was convicted of wire fraud, conspiracy, and bribery for masterminding the scheme that falsely claimed to serve millions of meals to children while pocketing federal funds through bogus food sites and shell companies. Bock is in custody awaiting a sentencing hearing on May 21.

Omar came up in a Feb. 5, 2021 email chain with Bock, with the subject line “help with USDA food program,” the trial exhibits show.

The Congresswoman’s MEALS act loosened oversight of federally funded food programs during the pandemic, which critics said paved the way for the Feeding Our Future’s fake claims and inflated reimbursements.

A few days after Bock’s email to Omar, on Feb. 28, Bock exchanged messages with Abdikerm Eidleh, a Feeding Our Future employee who fled the country after he was indicted in 2022. The subject line of their emails was “Ilhan’s Office,” according to the court documents.

While the list of exhibits is public, the contents have been sealed by the court.

The exhibits also include a text message string between Bock and Omar, which was uncovered during a raid of Bock’s Minnesota house, records show.

Bock has been leaking documents from behind bars through her college-age son ahead of her sentencing to try to shift some of the blame to elected officials, Minnesota federal prosecutors have alleged.

It’s unclear if those leaked documents were related to Omar. (Read more: The New York Post, 5/2/2026)  (Archive)

Reminder about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s ties to the “Feeding Our Future” fraud scandal, whereby her constituents (and in some cases donors) “delivered” GHOST MEALS by the millions to non-existent children for $250 million in taxpayer dollars — under guise of a program created to feed students missing school lunches because Dems shut the world down over COVID:

• Omar introduced the bill that enabled the fraud
• Omar filmed a commercial touting the program at the restaurant that was ground zero for the fraud — a restaurant she had hosted political events at going back years
• Omar received nearly $14 thousand in campaign contributions from fraudsters or those associated with them
• Omar’s office apparently had contacts with lead fraudster Aimee Bock, among other evidence the government compiled tying her office to the fraud in its prosecutions

May 3, 2026 – Federal prosecutors in Boston uncover $540,000 a month in EBT fraud from tiny “ghost stores” and $7 million in SNAP fraud

$540,000 A MONTH in EBT from tiny “ghost stores” with barely any inventory.

That’s what federal prosecutors say they uncovered in a $7 MILLION SNAP fraud case in Boston.

Two Haitian nationals are now charged.

And the numbers are wild.

These weren’t major supermarkets.
They weren’t fully stocked grocery stores.

Prosecutors say they were small shops allegedly used to trade EBT benefits for cash and illegal items while taxpayer money got drained at a massive scale.

One report says the SNAP volume was SIX TIMES higher than a real stocked supermarket.

That’s not a mistake.

That’s a machine.

And Americans are sick of watching their money vanish like this.

Defendants allegedly used stolen identities to fraudulently obtain nearly $1 million in government benefits

BOSTON – Nine individuals have been charged in a coordinated federal crackdown on benefit fraud schemes that exploited stolen identities to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded programs – including Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), MassHealth and Social Security benefits. Nearly $9 million in benefit fraud has been uncovered since December 2025.

Defendant trafficked nearly $7 million in food stamp benefits, outpacing full size supermarkets; also sold donated food product intended for the nonprofit Feed My Starving Children

BOSTON – The owner of a small convenience in Boston has been convicted of fraudulently obtaining millions of dollars’ worth of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. The defendant’s monthly SNAP redemptions in his 150 square foot store ranged from $100,000 – $500,000 per month, far outpacing full-service supermarkets which redeem approximately $82,000 per month in SNAP benefits.

The defendant also sold liquor and emergency food supplies intended for food-insecure children overseas.

May 3, 2026 – Newly declassified intel docs reveal Eric Ciaramella staffed “dozens” of calls between VP Biden and Ukraine officials between 2015-2017

BREAKING: Declass. State Dept emails reveal Soros operative Jeffrey Goldstein was briefing Eric Ciaramella about Soros and Ukraine around the same time Goldstein was corresponding w/ the Clinton campaign re smearing Trump as a Russian agent. Also in 2016, Ciaramella met w/ another Soros ally Ali Chalupa, who worked w/ Ukraine and the Clinton campaign to “‘do a hit on Trump.” A registered Democrat, Ciaramella later became the anonymous Trump impeachment “whistleblower”

This is lawfare coordinator Norm Eisen in December 2019 asking the Trump impeachment “witnesses” if Trump should be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors over Ukraine. The second part of the clip is Norm Eisen admitting on November 9, 2020, that the impeachment was to pre-bunk Joe Biden’s corruption before the 2020 election.

Norm Eisen needs to be exposed so that every American knows that he has been conducting a color revolution via lawfare, impeachment, and character assassination of Trump since 2016.

Grok question:

Are these documents available to the public?
“Newly declassified intel docs reveal Eric Ciaramella staffed “dozens” of calls between VP Biden and Ukraine officials between 2015-2017″
What is publicly available

  • Recent declassifications (2026): Under DNI Tulsi Gabbard, the ODNI and House Intelligence Committee released memos/transcripts from the 2019 ICIG review of the Ukraine whistleblower complaint (Ciaramella, widely identified as the complainant). These detail his admitted potential biases (e.g., registered Democrat who worked closely with Biden on Ukraine, travel with Biden, discussions involving Ukrainian prosecutors), reliance on hearsay (no direct knowledge of Trump’s July 2019 Zelensky call), undisclosed contacts with Schiff staff, and more. These are hosted on sites like Just the News and confirm Ciaramella’s deep prior involvement in Biden-era Ukraine policy.
  • Older public records (FOIA/National Archives/Senate):
    • Emails and visitor logs from Biden’s VP office (thousands of pages released via FOIA/NARA) show Ciaramella referenced over 160 times in Ukraine-related matters, including meetings, policy discussions, and interactions with Ukrainian officials.
      realclearinvestigations.com
    • Senate reports (e.g., 2020 HSGAC/Finance Committee on Hunter Biden/Burisma) and FOIA releases document his NSC role under Obama/Biden on Ukraine/Russia.
    • finance.senate.gov
    • White House visitor logs and State Department records list his participation in relevant events/meetings. washingtonexaminer.com

These establish Ciaramella’s significant role staffing Biden’s Ukraine work (as a CIA detailee to the NSC), but the precise “dozens of calls” detail with talking points and AF2 travel seems drawn from the newest (not-yet-fully-public) batch.

May 4, 2026 – Tens of thousands of lives were ruined in the Palisades fire because a leftwing Antifa-type broke up with his girlfriend…

(…) Yep, it’s always easier to blame the weather, the planet, or some random global crisis than to look at bad leadership, broken systems, violent leftwingers, poor preparation, and the endless incompetence that turns disasters into catastrophes. Newsom loves the big stage and the global speeches, but California keeps getting worse under the liberals who actually run it.

As we mentioned earlier, prosecutors say this wasn’t just some random weather moment in the hills. A leftwing Antifa-type named Jonathan Rinderknecht set it ablaze. He was emotionally spiraling, angry at the world, obsessed with fire, and fixated on violence and Luigi Mangione.

ABC 7:

Disturbing new details have emerged about the man accused of igniting a fire that authorities say ultimately set off the deadly Palisades firestorm.

In a trial memorandum, prosecutors say 30-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht was distraught over a relationship with a former co-worker and was fixated on Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

If prosecutors are right, this was yet another horrific act tied to rage, instability, and a fixation on a man accused of political violence against a corporate executive. The US is currently dealing with a growing epidemic that the media would rather tiptoe around than explain honestly… leftwing violence and mental illness.

May 4, 2026 – Reporter uncovers fraud red flags in America’s second-biggest Somali enclave in Ohio

A billboard in Columbus / Luke Rosiak

(…) Well, Ohio is decidedly not a deep blue state — let’s call it nominally red or purple, for now — and yet the state and its Republican governor apparently missed some massive red flags that strongly suggested fraud in the Buckeye State.

The Daily Wire did a deep dive investigation into troves of data released by the now-defunct Department of Government Efficiency, showing what companies were billing to Medicaid.

This is how the outlet’s Luke Rosiak put his findings:

“I’ve spent the past two months diving into the numbers. What I found was the most blatant waste of federal dollars that I have encountered in my two decades as an investigative reporter.”

According to The Daily Wire, Ohio spent $1 billion on “home health care” in 2024, which was the last year data was available. This alone was cause for concern for the investigators, as that effectively meant any oversight of these healthcare workers effectively ended when the actual job began in the home.

Rosiak described it as an “infinite number of small black boxes inside a black box,” as far as accountability and oversight went.

Despite that lack of oversight, home health care workers still had to provide something that they could bill for, and the data dump revealed that one such billable service was “companionship and conversation.”

Yes, taxpayer dollars are being spent for family members to… speak to one another. Inside of their home. Or, at least, that’s the worst-case interpretation of it, which is perfectly fair given the lack of details otherwise provided.

Rosiak also noted that, despite the money being spent on very important health services like “conversation,” Columbus still wasn’t getting much healthier — in body or diversity of business practices.

“As people have realized the United States government will pay them to hang out with their own families, northeast Columbus has seen its economy replaced by businesses that bill Medicaid,” Rosiak wrote. “And Columbus, a city with the second largest Somali population in the country, has become, on the surface, the most unhealthy city on the planet.”

(Yes, if you’re the sort to notice patterns, the Minnesota fraud scandal was strongly linked to the Somali community there, as well.)

Rosiak further pointed out that the “government cannot be meaningfully monitoring all the people it writes million-dollar checks to in Columbus. They all share combinations of just a few names, like Ahmed Mohamed and Mohamed Ahmed. Documents reviewed by The Daily Wire show individuals will spell their own name multiple different ways within a single document. And many of them list their birthday as January 1, because their birthdates are unknown.”

Perhaps the most alarming finding of these red flags for fraud is the scope of it all.

“Pick the owner of a Columbus home health care company at random and look him up in public records, and you are likely to go down an endless rabbit hole: years of unpaid taxes and debts, sometimes criminal records, and an astonishing number of LLCs created in other industries, as if the millions they make from Medicaid are just a side gig.”

This piece is part of a larger series, and Rosiak promised that future installments would shed more light on this potential fraud, including:

  • “A politician who founded an $11 million home health care company that he appeared to run part-time — without even mentioning it in his political biography — who funded his campaign with donations from other home health care owners.”
  • “A woman who reinvented her janitorial LLC as a ‘health’ provider, then billed Medicaid nearly $100,000 the first month.”
  • “A million-dollar Medicaid business owned by a couple with repeated fraud, violence, and theft convictions.”

And so on, and so forth.

Look, obviously, it’s too early to outright call this “fraud.” But if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s certainly no mongoose. At the very least, it’s a scandal, and the sort that the Republican leadership in Ohio would be best served to address, and quickly.

What makes this especially unsettling is how familiar it all feels. A massive pool of public money, a loosely defined service, and just enough bureaucratic distance to make real oversight difficult. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 5/6/2026)  (Archive)

May 4, 2026 – Connecticut Dem says ICE is Jim Crow; DHS replies with list of illegal alien thugs

CT Governor Ned Lamont (Credit: video clipping)

After the Democrat governor of Connecticut compared immigration enforcement to Jim Crow oppression — ironic considering Jim Crow was the Democrats’ regime — the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) replied with a disquieting list of illegal alien criminals arrested in Connecticut.

CT Mirror celebrated a gubernatorial bill signing May 4, claiming it would require federal agents to display their names or badge numbers — facilitating the already out-of-control doxxing against ICE — persecute ICE for defending themselves with lethal force, and prevent arrests at schools and churches. It appears that Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont might have made his disgusting accusations at his bill signing, when he claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are “brutal,” criticized Trump for referring to criminal illegal aliens as “criminal aliens,” and compared immigration enforcement to the historical Know-Nothing party, anti-Catholic laws, and “Jim Crow laws.” “Never before…has it been led by the White House,” he pontificated, ignoring the numerous Democrat presidents who explicitly aligned themselves with the KKK and political violence.

DHS was quick to respond to Lamont’s propaganda with a list of the despicable illegal alien criminals who were living in — and quite possibly receiving taxpayer-funded benefits in — Connecticut before ICE arrested them. The aliens’ crimes include murder, pedophilic sexual assault, and child abuse.

For instance, Juan Perez-Barahona, a Honduran illegal alien, has prior convictions for sexual assault, molesting a child, and neglect of a child — in Brooklyn, Connecticut. And this El Salvadoran killer is even worse:

May 4, 2026 – Agriculture Sec. Brooke Rollins reveals foreign companies have been caught manipulating the American meat market

HOLY SMOKES. Agriculture Sec. Brooke Rollins reveals FOREIGN COMPANIES have been caught manipulating the American meat market

The Trump admin is now cracking down on them to lower prices and stop the collusion 👏🏻

“Half of these meatpacking giants, including the largest meatpacker in the world, are either foreign owned or have significant foreign ownership and control, making them a threat not just to our cattle producers, but a threat to America itself.”

“And as time has gone on, it becomes more and more clear that food security is truly national security.”

“The brutal reality is that such foreign ownership of meatpackers has been affiliated not just with corruption, but also cartels and as recent as last week, slave labor, which is bad enough on its own, but it’s also to the detriment of America’s great independent ranchers and consumers.”

“Further, when just four firms control a market, suppliers and food prices are rocked heavily when disruptions occur.”

“President Trump is acutely aware of these challenges as evidenced by his true social directive last November, directing the Department of Justice to investigate the big four meatpackers for potential collusion and price manipulation. Ensuring these practices do not happen will protect both producers and consumers.”

Ever wonder why your burger costs more than gas these days? Let’s trace it back. JBS—Brazil’s meat empire, built by the Batista brothers—has a rap sheet longer than a cattle drive. Bribery scandals in Brazil? Check: $3.2 billion fine, payoffs to 1,900+ politicians, even SEC slaps for foreign corruption tied to U.S. acquisitions. Yet they own the biggest chunk of America’s meatpacking game—controlling beef, pork, poultry lines from feedlot to fork.

Look at the numbers: U.S. beef prices spiked 13.9% last year, heading for another 6.9% jump in 2026. Sure, drought and herd shrinks play in—but when four giants (JBS, Tyson, Cargill, National) process nearly half the nation’s beef, market power whispers louder than supply chains. Tight cattle? Or just tighter margins for ranchers while packers cash in?
Take a peek at these lines: workers carving up carcasses in massive plants…

…and your local grocery shelf staring back with ribeyes at $16+ a pound.

The Batistas? Still billionaires, still steering from the shadows.

And prices? Ground beef hovering around six bucks a pound now—up 50% since 2020. Coincidence? Or consolidation?

So ask yourself: Is this just ‘supply and demand’? Or are we paying premium for a system where one foreign-owned giant calls the shots—while ranchers scrape by and families skip steak? Who’s really profiting… and why does it feel like we’re the ones getting butchered?

May 4, 2026 – Federal judge apologizes to attorneys of White House Correspondents Dinner assassin for cell conditions

DC Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui reportedly just apologized to attorneys for Cole Allen, implying he has been treated poorly in federal prison and lamenting the fact he’s locked in a cell with, and I quote, “no ability to get out for recreation”.

Absolutely unreal.

Even the Fox News hosts were stunned hearing these comments from the judge.

Watch it here:

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

Sandra: Hearing has just wrapped we are told, and at one point, the judge apologized to Cole Allen. Chief Washington Correspondent Mike Emanuel is right outside the courthouse to answer why that possibly was. Mike?

Mike Emanuel: Yeah, Sandra, good afternoon to you. Judge Zia Faruqui apologized to suspect Cole Allen for the treatment he’s received so far while he’s been behind bars. He’s been put on suicide watch by the Department of Corrections, and the judge was asking why.

An attorney for the government said that he was put on suicide watch because he told FBI agents the night of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner attack that he didn’t expect to survive, and his language suggested that he really was not expecting to survive his trip to Washington, DC, and the ultimate incident where he allegedly showed up with a weapon to try and assassinate President Trump. He’s been charged with that crime.

But the judge very concerned about his constitutional rights, saying the defendant has requested a Bible, has requested meetings with his legal team, and that has not been allowed. He’s been put in restrictive 24-hour lockup with no windows, in a padded room, without an opportunity to get out for recreation.

And so, the judge making it clear to the Department of Corrections that he wants answers by tomorrow morning about exactly what the housing determination will be made for the suspect in this case, out of grave concern about his constitutional rights, and that apology issued near the end of the hearing.

And so, quite a moment just moments ago in federal court. Bottom line, the Department of Corrections said they wanted to make sure that he survived, that this is a high-profile case, and all involved acknowledge it is a high-profile case.

But again, the judge concerned about the treatment he’s gotten since he was arrested after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting incident. Sandra, back to you.

Sandra: A lot of people might be shocked by that, Mike, thanks. The judge apologized to this guy? Who is a killer? Who if he had gotten another couple yards, would have sprayed the whole audience in the Correspondents’ Dinner.

I mean, would have just sprayed them and killed God knows how many, and then would have marched up and taken a shot over the whole audience at the president. And we’re apologizing to this guy? I don’t get that.

Seems more concerned about his constitutional rights, in some cases than others. Constitutional rights.

Absolutely unreal.

Memo to the judge: I’m not sure what law school you graduated from, but when you bum-rush the Secret Service and attempt to spray an entire room with bullets and plan to kill not only the President but multiple Cabinet Officials, you forfeit your right to “recreation time.”

May 4, 2026 – Whitmer-appointed judge forces Michigan SOS Jocelyn Benson to stop hiding critical voting data from the public

The campaign of Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a former Southern Poverty Law Center board member, was funded by George Soros.

In yet another major victory for election integrity warriors and government transparency, the Michigan Court of Claims just slammed the brakes on the Michigan Bureau of Elections’ blatant attempt to hide how voters actually cast their ballots.

In an Opinion and Order Granting Summary Disposition to Plaintiff, Court of Claims Judge Christopher P. Yates ruled in favor of longtime election integrity advocate Phani Mantravadi, Founder of Check My Vote,  in his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Michigan Bureau of Elections.

The fight was over the Bureau’s sudden decision in March 2024 to begin redacting the all-important “Voting Type” column from the Qualified Voter File (QVF). This column shows whether each voter cast their ballot on Election Day (ED), Early In-Person (EV), or by Absentee ballot (A).

For years, this critical information was publicly available. Then, under Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the Bureau quietly started stripping it out — claiming it was necessary to protect the “secret ballot.”

Judge Christopher Yates, whom Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer appointed to the Michigan Court of Appeals, wasn’t buying Benson’s story about why they need to hide the truth about the type of voting used by each voter in Michigan elections.

The Court ruled that the vast majority of voting-type information must be released to the public under FOIA. The judge made it crystal clear that the Bureau failed to prove any valid FOIA exemption or constitutional reason to blanket-redact this data for every voter in the entire state. He noted that limited redaction might be justified only in extremely rare cases involving very small precincts. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 5/4/2026)  (Archive)

May 5, 2026 – Minnesota Democrats block a subpoena for Rep. Ilhan Omar re the Somali $250 million food fraud scandal

Minnesota Democrats on the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee have officially blocked a subpoena targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar over her alleged connections to the state’s massive $250 million Feeding Our Future COVID-19 relief fraud scandal.
The funds were intended to feed low-income children during the pandemic, but were widely abused in scams largely linked to the Somali community.

The development unfolded Tuesday during the committee’s final meeting of the session.

Republicans pushed for the subpoena after Omar completely ignored a May 5 deadline to turn over documents and communications, including any links between her office and a convicted ringleader in the fraud scheme.

The vote fell short at 5-3, failing to reach the required two-thirds majority needed to issue the subpoena.

Democrats on the panel voted against it, effectively protecting the congresswoman.

May 6, 2026 – Obama complains to Stephen Colbert about the ‘politicization’ of Trump’s DOJ

President Obama: “The White House shouldn’t be able to direct the Attorney General to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants prosecuted. The AG is the people’s lawyer, it’s not the president’s consigliere. You can’t have a situation in which whoever’s in charge of the government starts using that to go after their political enemies”

Physician, heal thyself!

Barack Obama lectures America about not weaponizing the DOJ, yet his administration did exactly that. His DOJ secretly seized phone records from over twenty Associated Press lines.
They spied on Fox News reporter James Rosen, tracking his movements, raiding his emails, and labeling him a criminal co-conspirator.
The IRS deployed targeted BOLO lists to harass and delay Tea Party, patriot, and 9/12 groups with invasive demands.
And his team knew the Clinton campaign manufactured the Steele dossier, yet still unleashed Crossfire Hurricane on the country.

This lecture on norms rings hollow from the man who spent eight years demonstrating how to erode them.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

Former President Barack Obama made recent comments about the power and influence of the president, saying that “the White House shouldn’t be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants to prosecute.”

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche called the remarks “extraordinarily rich.”

“How about we think about what happened the past four years,” Blanche asked CBS News’ @camiloreports, before going on to reference multiple indictments brought against President Trump.

May 6, 2026 – DC Police officials disciplined for manipulating crime data

Authored by Bryan Hyde via American Greatness,

Multiple high-ranking officials in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) are facing termination in connection with allegations about how they handled and possibly manipulated crime statistics in the district.

Breitbart reports that three MPD officials told The Washington Post that “multiple high-ranking” officials—all captains or above, all in leadership—were given “papers saying the department intends to fire them.”

According to a DC Police Union press release, the anticipated terminations are directly related to an investigation into allegations that the officials engaged in direct manipulation of crime data to minimize the level of crime in DC.

The union, which represents 3,000 MPD officers, welcomed the decision to terminate the officials, saying, “these actions, tied directly to the department’s completed Internal Affairs investigation into the deliberate manipulation of crime data, mark a long-overdue step toward justice and the restoration of integrity with MPD.”

The Washington Post reports, “The District has reported a decline in overall crime in recent years after a historic spike in 2023. But some in D.C. police circles have long complained that certain managers routinely reduced the severity of crime classifications to make their police districts appear safer or avoid criticism from top department brass.”

In some districts, armed home invasions were written down as “trespassing” instead, dropping a violent felony to a low-level misdemeanor, in order to manipulate the crime stats.

The 13 individuals who were served termination papers have not been fired yet as they are entitled to due process under the department’s general orders. (Read more: Zero Hedge, 5/6/2026)  (Archive)

The Virginia Supreme Court has struck down the redistricting referendum that was approved in Virginia, which would have made the state go from a 6 Democrat, 5 GOP seat state to a 10 Democrat, 1 GOP seat state with regard to the US House of Representatives. The map redraw was pushed by Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Democratic state lawmakers.

The court struck down the referendum on Friday, ruling that Democratic lawmakers violated procedural rules when they got the constitutional amendment on the ballot to create the new 10-1 congressional map.

“We hold that the legislative process employed to advance this proposal violated Article XII, Section 1 of the Constitution of Virginia. This constitutional violation incurably taints the resulting referendum vote and nullifies its legal efficacy,” the court ruled.

The decision blocks the Democrats in the state from redrawing the congressional map and the district boundaries will remain unchanged. The decision comes as Republicans and Democrats have been vying for more House seats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. (Read more: The Post Millennial, 5/8/2026) (Archive)
