February 20, 2025 – Almost fired for working with DOGE, Social Security fraud expert now leads the agency

Leland Dudek was an obscure bureaucrat at the Social Security Administration who dedicated his career to stopping fraud. But when he worked with the Department of Government Efficiency to do just that, he came close to being fired.

“At 4:30pm EST, my boss called me to tell me I had been placed on administrative leave pending an Investigation,” Dudek wrote on LinkedIn. “They want to fire me for cooperating with DOGE,” he wrote in a now-deleted post obtained by The Daily Wire.

Then, a stunning reversal occurred. It was Acting Social Security Commissioner Michelle King who was out of a job. And Dudek was reinstated with a big promotion — taking her job leading the massive agency on an interim basis.

The Washington Post reported that King exited the agency after refusing to let DOGE access agency data and was replaced by Dudek. But it has not been reported that managers at the agency had moved to punish Dudek as he cooperated with the efficiency czars.

The LinkedIn post said “I confess. I helped DOGE understand SSA. I mailed myself publicly accessible documents and explained them to DOGE. I confess. I moved contractor money around to add data science resources to my anti-fraud team. I confess. I asked where the fat was and is in our contracts so we can make the right tough choices.”

“I confess. I bullied agency executives, shared executive contact information, and circumvented the chain of command to connect DOGE with the people who get stuff done,” it continued. “Everything I have ever done is in service to our country, our beneficiaries, and our agency.”

The Social Security Administration and the White House did not return requests for comment. A SSA employee, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Daily Wire that the person who put Dudek on leave was Gina Clemons, Deputy Commissioner for Analytics, Review, and Oversight, and that she is still on the job.

Dudek, a career civil servant, is an example of how there are a few fiscally conscious longtime government employees, and how the Trump administration and DOGE can maximize their impact by joining forces with people who know where the bodies are buried.

Earlier today President Trump confronted Maine Governor Janet Mills for undermining women and keeping men in women’s sports.

Heated exchange between President Trump and Gov. Janet Mills (D-ME) over executive order banning transgender women in sports.

Trump: “Are you not going to comply with that?”

Mills: “I’m complying with state and federal laws.”

Trump: “We are the federal law. You better do it, because you’re not going to get any federal funding at all if you don’t…your population doesn’t want men playing in women’s sports…”

Mills: “See you in court.”

Trump: “Good. I’ll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be an easy one. And enjoy your life after governor, because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.”

More information on Governor Mills:

Boom! In 2024, the brother of Maines Governor, Janet Mills, helped transfer a nine-acre black market cannabis grow to a Chinese national living in Guangdong province amidst the proliferation of illegal Chinese marijuana grows in Maine. Her brother did this 13 days after it was raided by DHS agents.

According to a leaked Department of Homeland Security memo, Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) control and operate more than 270 illegal marijuana cultivation and trafficking facilities throughout Maine, and the proceeds from those illicit activities are used to finance fentanyl trafficking, human trafficking, and other illegal activities.

A Chinese national living in the Guangdong Province, China, became the proud owner of the “fixer upper” in Penobscot County in thanks, in part, to title transfer services provided by Paul H. Mills, the eldest brother of Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D).

Paul Mills, 71, is the founder and managing partner of the Mills & Mills law firm, located at 163 Main Street in Farmington. People familiar with the real estate transfer process in Penobscot County said it would be uncommon for Mills — or any attorney based in Franklin County — to handle title transfers in Corinna.

H/T @bigsteve207

Chinese Consul General in New York, Ping Huang, attended Maine Governor, Janet Mills, 2019 inauguration.

Huang visited the state of Maine to promote China-U.S. ties by tapping regional cooperation potential between the two countries.

Gov. Janet Mills, was once rated by a People’s Republic of China-linked think tank as one of America’s most pro-China governors.

She must be very helpful for ancient Chinese business

Maine Governor, Janet Mills, allows her states schools to collude with the Chinese Communist Party! As found during a PDE Action “Little Red Classrooms” investigation!

This investigation ended in July 2023. As of July 2024 Oxford Hills School District in Maine, still collaborated with the Confucius Institute.

Letter drafted to Janet Mills:

“The Maine Department of Education and Oxford Hills School District forged ties with Chinese government backed programs.

PDE Action respectfully requested the Office of the Governor of Maine to investigate ties between Maine’s public school system and Chinese government sponsored programs, such as Confucius Classrooms. While it’s vital for American students to have opportunities to learn world languages and cultures, schools should not give the Chinese government unfettered access to K-12 classrooms. This has the potential of posing significant security risks to students, families, and our national interest.

February 21, 2025 – AG Chief of Staff files complaint against DC District Court judge for ‘hostile and egregious’ misconduct during hearing

DOJ says the judge handling Talbott v. Trump, a case dealing with Trump’s EO on trans-identifying service members, “engaged in hostile and egregious misconduct” towards its attorneys – suggesting bias + disrespect towards the DOJ position/ imperiling a fair weighing of their case.

February 21, 2025 – USAID’s top contractor that receives $ billions, is connected to the Clintons and their cronies

This research from @IanCarrollShow on USAID funding is INSANE:

Ian says roughly 93% of USAID funding is estimated to be fraud

– Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and their friends appear to be the top money laundering recipients

– The majority of sub awards being given out by USAID are all just transporting pharmaceutical products all around the world to all sorts of developing nations

– It’s mostly AIDS drugs (More AIDS drugs than you could ever imagine an entire planet needing)

– The main company transporting all these pharmaceuticals all around the world, “ONLY 7% OF THE HEALTH COMMODITY SHIPMENTS DELIVERED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM ARRIVED AT THEIR DESTINATION” on time and in full

– This means that 93% of the shipments they sent in that quarter either arrived incomplete or did not arrive within the 21 day window allotted and agreed to by the buyer

– There was a contract to build a power plant in Afghanistan that was paid for through USAID, it was never finished. “it’s producing 2% of the power it was intended to generate”

– This happened when Hillary Clinton led the State Department

“The company’s CEO was indicted for siphoning money from USAID reconstruction contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan, because that’s what USAID is for, it’s for Hillary Clinton’s friends to siphon money out into their own pockets.”

You’re never going to believe this,

– The firm that built that power plant that never got finished and doesn’t work, they’re represented by John Podesta and his lobbying group (This man was heavily involved in the PizzaGate Scandals)

– It goes on to talk about how Podesta was tasked to come up with these sustainable development goals for this Council of International Development Companies

– One of those companies was that’s the largest recipient of USAID money there is

– That same company thrived during Clinton’s tenure, nabbing more contracts during the Haiti reconstruction effort than any other company

After the disasters in Haiti they moved to Afghanistan

– This same company continued to win lucrative USAID contracts in 2011 in Afghanistan

– The project was intended to create 300,000 jobs by 2013. After two years, it had only created 2,458 jobs

– In May 2009, it won a $90 million contract to grow exports and employment in the Pakistan economy

Get this, “The USAID Inspector General found no measurable increase in sales or employment after the first two years of the project.” But they’re still allowed to be the largest recipient of USAID money??

Also

– They were bribing the Taliban with our tax dollars not to attack their projects, “They were giving money to the Taliban basically as a protection racket”

“This is the Deep State. It’s been being built over the last 20 years, ever since Bill Clinton’s time and even before, out of these proxy companies, these non-government organizations, these charitable organizations, all these shadow kind of organizations that you don’t know about, that we don’t elect, that are some of them private, some of them public, all of them in the shadows. Just wheelin’ and dealin’ billions and billions and billions of dollars of taxpayer money that just goes into the black box of aid and then never heard from again.”

Ohh, and Pfizer is the 2nd largest recipient of USAID…..

February 22, 2025 – John Brennan: “I’m on Kash Patel’s enemies list.”

John Brennan, whose security clearance was revoked by Trump for lying to the American people in order to interfere in an election — — is “very concerned” about DOGE, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi. “I’m on Kash Patel’s enemies list.”

February 24, 2025 – The CIA fears their anti-Trump personnel may be motivated to sell out America to a foreign power

CNN now says that “top leadership” at the CIA are worried anti-Trump personnel may by motivated to sell out America to a foreign power.

In other words, the people who created the Russia Hoax might now sell America’s secrets to Russia — and then CNN will be there to blame Trump.

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: 𝐂𝐈𝐀 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐀

The same intelligence community that pushed the Russia Hoax now admits anti-Trump operatives inside the CIA might betray the U.S. to a foreign power. And guess what? CNN is already spinning it to blame Trump.

The Deep State spent years lying about “Russian collusion,” and now its own agents are the ones under suspicion. You can’t make this up. The real question is: Who are these people actually loyal to?

Time to clean house?

February 23, 2025 – DOGE: Billions of USAID funds are missing from the Clinton/Bush Haiti relief projects

There are those that say all government aid is a scam in one way or another, and so far the revelations surrounding USAID are proving those people right daily.  Democrats and the establishment media, in a bid to muddy the waters and save face, continue to claim that there was never any fraud at USAID and that the Trump Administration is simply labeling projects they “disagree with” as suspect.

Of course, spending American tax dollars on projects the public never asked for and were never told about is the epitome of fraud, and waste is never a good thing.  Beyond that, the question of billions in missing funds certainly falls into the category of criminality.

Trump has taken a lot of heat from the media with the shut down of USAID and much of the criticism suggests that without US funds people in third world countries will fall back into desperation.  The Washington Post recently claimed that Trump’s cuts to USAID are a “gift to Haitian gangs” terrorizing the locals; a typical leftist appeal to emotion that assumes most of the funds were getting to the Haitians in the first place.

Yet another example of this problem has been revealed in a New York Post expose on the audit of USAID which shows a disturbing shortfall in funds surrounding ongoing relief projects in Haiti.  The Post notes:

“Since the 2010 earthquake in Haiti killed as many as 300,000 people, the US government has disbursed around $4.4 billion in foreign assistance to the small island nation.

At least $1.5 billion was disbursed for immediate humanitarian aid, while another $3 billion went to recovery, reconstruction and development.

Of the at least $2.13 billion in contracts and grants for Haiti-related work, less than $50 million, or 2% went to Haitian organizations or firms. By comparison, $1.3 billion, or 56%, has gone to firms located in or near the US capitol. Little wonder USAID is so threatened by the sudden scrutiny.

It remains unclear how exactly the billions have been spent and whether US tax dollars have had a sustainable impact. USAID and its vendors have generally failed to make such data public…”

The exposure of USAID by DOGE actually confirms long running suspicions of mishandled aid.  Some Haitian reporters warned about this disappearing money years ago under the Obama Administration.  USAID funds to Haiti were dispersed in part through the Clinton Foundation.

The lack of funding transparency was also noted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in 2023.  Though, not surprisingly, the impotent agency did nothing about it.  The GAO stated in their analysis of USAID activities in Haiti:

“The USAID mission in Haiti does not fully track data on its local partnerships, or its activities to strengthen local organizational capacity, which limits institutional knowledge about these efforts and understanding of results and lessons learned to inform future activities.”

“The Administrator of USAID should ensure that USAID/Haiti develops a process to track and assess consistent and complete results information for infrastructure activities, such as the final outputs, outcomes, costs, time frames, and lessons learned.”

“The Administrator of USAID should ensure that USAID/Haiti establishes a process to completely and consistently track and analyze data on awards made to local organizations, such as the amount and percent of total funding awarded and the percent of total awards provided to these organizations.”

Of the five “recommendations for executive action” put forward by the GAO for USAID, two are marked as “completed”.  Transparency was never achieved and no one was held accountable.  The question is, if only 2% of the $4.4 billion allotted for Haitian relief was actually used in Haiti, where did the rest of the money go?

February 24, 2025 – Ethics watchdog flags Senator Whitehouse for helping wife rake in millions for nonprofit

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is being accused of a potential conflict of interest by an ethics watchdog. (Credit: Getty Images)

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., is being accused of violating ethics rules after backing laws that financially benefited his wife’s environmental organization.

The Democratic senator and climate hawk voted for key laws that provided funding for grants to the environmental non-profit group that works with his wife, Sandra Whitehouse, and pays her through a consulting firm.

The ethics watchdog, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), is asking the Senate Select Committee on Ethics Chairman James Lankford, R-Okla., and Vice Chairman Chris Coons, D-Del., to investigate Whitehouse “to determine whether he violated the Senate ethics rules on conflicts of interest.” The group works primarily to draw attention to potential Democratic lawmaker ethics violations.

Whitehouse’s wife, Sandra, is employed as president of consulting firm Ocean Wonks LLC and has been since 2017, per her LinkedIn page. Before that, she was a direct employee of Ocean Conservancy, serving as Senior Policy Adviser beginning in 2008.

Ocean Conservancy has received more than $14.2 million in federal grants since 2008, per USASpending.gov. During 2024 alone, it was given two sizable grants, one for $5.2 million from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for marine debris cleanup in September and another for $1.7 million from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), again to assist with marine debris cleanup.

The former was funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) championed by the Biden administration and voted for by Sen. Whitehouse. The latter was funded through the EPA’s annual appropriations bill, which Whitehouse also voted for. (Read more: Fox News, 2/25/2025)  (Archive)

February 24, 2025 – Chat logs obtained from an NSA’s secret transgender sex chatroom, in which NSA, CIA, and DIA employees participate

UPDATE:

Tulsi Gabbard’s directive aligns with broader efforts to purge corruption from federal agencies. The Drain the Intelligence Community Swamp Act of 2025 (H.R.80) already targets security clearances for former intel officials who weaponized their positions during the Hunter Biden laptop disinformation campaign.

While Gabbard’s specific memo isn’t detailed in current legislative text, it mirrors H.R.80’s aggressive posture against bureaucratic rot. The DRAIN THE SWAMP Act similarly forces decentralization of federal power by relocating 30% of DC-based bureaucrats – a structural reset long overdue.

These moves expose a pattern: DC’s permanent class uses taxpayer resources for political warfare rather than national service. Accountability is non-negotiable.

February 24, 2025 – Documents reveal Joe Biden changed TSA identification guidelines for illegal aliens and allowed a “warrant for arrest” as proof of ID

TSA Under Biden Focused on Speeding Up Checkpoints for Illegal Aliens Without IDs, Not National Security

During the Biden Administration, expediting TSA security checkpoints took precedence over national security concerns. Through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit I filed after TSA stonewalled my initial request—I’ve exclusively obtained the protocols that allowed illegal aliens to board commercial flights with IDs under Biden’s watch. TSA officials claimed these documents didn’t exist during his tenure, but the Trump Administration has since granted me access to this information.

On March 26, 2021, TSA issued “a revised Operations Directive to address a significant increase in the number of non-U.S. citizens at certain airports who do not have acceptable ID documents.”

The OD added a series of DHS-provided documents that were suddenly acceptable for illegal aliens traveling without IDs. Here’s the list of those documents that were suddenly deemed acceptable:

-Warrant for Arrest of Alien

-Warrant of Removal/Deportation

-Order of Removal on Recognizance

-Order of Supervision

-Notice to Appear

-Arrival and Departure Form

-Alien Booking Record

These documents could be displayed electronically at TSA security checkpoints, meaning an illegal alien could present a photo or screenshot on their device, and TSA agents were permitted to grant them passage.

On April 2021, TSA rolled out a CBP One Pilot program. That program was led by Director of Aviation Coordination Julian E Williams and Director of Capability Management and Innovation Requirements and Capability Analysis Melissa Conley.

The primary goal of the pilot program wasn’t tied to national security but rather to reduce wait times at TSA security checkpoints. This focus is emphasized repeatedly throughout the Concept of Operations.

In the document, TSA says the influx of illegals without IDs “places a severe burden on TSA checkpoints when attempting to vet multiple individuals.”

The document goes on to brag about reducing the wait times since rolling this pilot program out, “use of CBP OneTM also resulted in an efficiency improvement in process cycle time over the IVCC procedures. The average cycle time for ID verification with CBP OneTMwas 1.48 minutes as compared to an average IVCC cycle time of 12.87 minutes, an 88.50% reduction of average cycle time per individual.““CBP OneTM, TSA partnered with CBP to investigate adapting the app for use by TSA as a viable, effective, and efficient operational alternative solution to validate travel documentation for adult non-U.S. citizens with valid boarding passes who are not in possession of acceptable travel documents and are subject to ID validation.”

The pilot program allowed “TSA personnel use a TSA-issued smartphone equipped with the CBP OneTM app to take a photograph of that individual and transmit the biometric through the app for comparison with CBP records.”

The CBP One Pilot also advised illegal aliens that the capturing of their facial biometrics was optional. According to the Patriot Act, all non-U.S. citizens must submit their biometrics to DHS.

Here are a list of the airports that participated in the Pilot Program for CBP One:

-Alexandria International Airport, Louisiana (AEX)

-Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Texas (AUS)

-Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Texas (DFW)

-Denver International Airport, Colorado (DEN)

-Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Florida (FLL)

-George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Texas (IAH)

-Miami International Airport, Florida (MIA)

-Monroe Regional Airport, Louisiana (MLU)

-Palm Springs International Airport, California (PSP)

-Shreveport Regional Airport, Louisiana (SHV)

-YumaInternationalAirport,Arizona(NYL)

The Biden administration jeopardized national security by dispersing unvetted illegal aliens across the country. How many terrorists might now reside among us? We could learn the answer through harsh consequences if the Trump administration fails to swiftly locate those spread nationwide during Biden’s tenure.

NEW:

@TSA has a policy effective February 2021 if you enter the country illegally during the Biden/Harris regime- the illegal alien does NOT have to show any government ID. (View video)

You can be a gang member of Tren De Aragua from Venezuela or Los Lobos from Ecuador or MS 13 from El Salvador or FARC member from Colombia or an Islamic jihadist from the middle east.

This is the new build back better @TSA. What could go wrong. Don’t ask any questions you dirty American!! #TSA #sanantonioairport

February 24, 2025 – Rep. James Comer reveals four agencies investigating Biden family but told to stand down

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) revealed during a Breitbart Fight Club Roundtable on Sunday that four separate federal agencies were investigating the Biden family but were told to stand down.

Comer spoke with Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow and Peter Schweizer, the president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) and a Breitbart News senior contributor, about the Kentucky congressman’s book, All the President’s Money: Investigating the Secret Foreign Schemes That Made the Biden Family Rich, which details his work to investigate the allegations of corruption, influence peddling, and money laundering surrounding the Biden family.

Marlow said it appears the Justice Department protected the Biden family “to an extent that I wasn’t aware of based off of the revelations in your book.”

Comer said that multiple federal agencies were investigating the Bidens for multiple issues; however, they were told to stand down.

He explained, “In the book I detail this, but we found that there were four ongoing investigations from four different agencies into the Bidens. It was the Department of Justice in several jurisdictions, the FBI, the IRS and the Securities Exchange Commission [SEC], and then throw in Jim Biden using be invested by [Centers for] Medicare [and Medicaid Services] for Medicare fraud. I mean, all of these entities were looking into it. So when people say, How could they get away with this? They didn’t. Six different banks reported to Treasury [Department] that the Bidens were committing financial crimes six different things, then you have four different government agencies calling all of this, but in every instance, they were told to stand down.” (Read more: Breitbart News, 2/24/2025) (Archive)

(Credit: Meta AI)

New disclosure reveals that the Biden IRS leaked taxpayer information of over 405,000 Americans — including President Trump’s.

The IRS’s admission confirms the Committee’s suspicion and recent reports that show the scope of the leak was much broader than what the Biden Administration’s IRS initially led the public to believe.

In May 2024, an IRS spokesman stated that “[m]ore than 70,000” taxpayers were affected.

We found out that it’s actually over 405,000 taxpayers!

This is a MASSIVE scandal.

February 25, 2025 – FBI looking into James Comey’s off-the-books ‘honeypot’ operation in 2015 targeting Trump campaign

The broad portrait James Comey tries to paint is of President Trump as a president so far outside democratic norms that he is a danger to the republic as he regularly spouts conspiracy theories and untruths. (Credit: Getty Images)

FBI leadership is starting an investigation into the origins of the agency’s plan a decade ago to infiltrate the campaign of presidential candidate Donald Trump using two female undercover “honeypot” agents.

The off-the-books investigation, launched in 2015 by FBI Director James B. Comey, was revealed by an agency whistleblower in a protected disclosure to the House Judiciary Committee last year and first reported exclusively by The Washington Times in October.

In the intelligence community, a honeypot commonly refers to an undercover operative, usually a woman, who feigns sexual or romantic interest to obtain information from a target.

The whistleblower said two female FBI undercover employees infiltrated Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as “honeypots” while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff.

The Times has learned that the bureau, now led by Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, is looking for those once-undercover employees under Mr. Comey’s direction.

The FBI declined to comment.

According to the whistleblower disclosure, which The Times reviewed, the investigation differed from Crossfire Hurricane, a later FBI counterintelligence operation that looked into never-proved allegations that the campaign was colluding with Russia.

UPDATE:

February 26, 2025 – DOGE cancels $18 Million a month contract to operate an empty facility in West Texas

A former ICE employee and Biden transition team member joined Family Endeavors in early 2021 and helped secure a sole-source HHS contract for overflow housing from licensed care facilities.

As a result, Family Endeavors’ cash and portfolio of investments grew from $8.3M in 2020 to $520.4M in 2023.

Since March 2024, HHS has paid ~$18M/month to keep the Pecos facility open despite sitting empty.

Family Endeavors facility

With national licensed facility occupancy now below 20%, HHS was able to terminate this contract, saving taxpayers over $215M annually.

“There’s a much easier way to earn $2 Billion than caring for 80,000 kids…”

“Cherokee Nation is not this benevolent humanitarian actor. They make most of their money with alcohol and gambling.”

“It’s been f***ed up, but it’s been a boom for my business.”

During conversations with an undercover Veritas journalist, former Biden transition team official, Andrew Lorenzen-Strait, tells of his legacy in the immigration space. He confesses his role is described by critics as a “corrupt bargain.” Lorenzen-Strait explains how he brokered a $2 billion-dollar contract between the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Cherokee Federal, a tribal-owned federal contractor arm of the Cherokee Nation, to manage post-relief migrant care and the relocation of unaccompanied migrant children despite Cherokee Federal having no previous experience with migrant care.

Mr. Lorenzen-Strait, a principal of Deep Water Associates, celebrates brokering the second largest HHS award in history, helping facilitate a change in Cherokee Federal’s focus from “alcohol and gambling” to “caring for 80,000 kids.” Lorenzen-Strait was previously the subject of a Congressional investigation by House and Senate Republicans, as well as federal investigations by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General, due to his role in brokering multiple deals with the Biden administration after leaving the transition team. Amid these investigations, he resigned as senior director for migrant services and federal affairs at Endeavors, a non-governmental organization (NGO).

Veritas’ HHS Whistleblower, Tara Rodas, joined us to share her expertise working with Endeavors. Incidentally, Endeavors was the entity which served as a federal contractor at the Pomona Fairplex Emergency Intake Site in California. Rodas was deployed there as a volunteer of Operation Artemis to help the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement reunite unaccompanied migrant children with sponsors in the U.S. She comments that Mr. Lorenzen-Strait admits, while they are not experts in the field, they are somehow able to “go around regular contracting rules to give a contract in an emergency to people who were not experts in the job they were supposed to be doing.” Rodas added, “[t]hat is stunning and absolutely appalling. It is still stunning to me that people believe kids are commodities.”

The amount of federal money awarded to the contractors and their staff is startling. According to Rodas, for example, one Cherokee Federal executive, Dan Guinan, was paid over $51,000. An emergency intake site is funded in six-month periods. This specific contract between Cherokee Federal and the government was over $600M for that brief period. The contracts and executive salaries are publicly available at www.usaspending.gov. Project Veritas is continuing to investigate these organizations. This story is not over! Stay tuned.

STATEMENT FROM VERITAS CEO, HANNAH GILES:

Project Veritas has shed light on the vast network of federally funded immigration contracts that use billions of taxpayer dollars to manage this nation’s border crisis. Our journalists caught former Biden Transition Official, Andrew Lorenzen-Strait, walking us through these “corrupt bargain” deals that have a direct impact on unaccompanied minors.

February 26, 2025 – The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower judge’s order mandating the Trump administration to release $ billions in USAID funds

Newsweek, 2/14/2025

One of President Joe Biden’s final judicial nominees has put a temporary injunction on Donald Trump’s attempts to dismantle the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Newsweek sought email comment from USAID and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday.

Some Republican senators were openly angry after Amir Ali was confirmed as a Washington, D.C. federal judge in November, two weeks after Trump was elected president.

On February 13, Ali temporarily blocked Trump’s order to defund the international aid agency, USAID.

Ali placed a temporary injunction on Secretary of State Marco Rubio and others in the Trump administration, at the request of two aid agencies that receive funding from USAID, AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition and Global Health Council.

February 27, 2025 – Kim Strassel: We Pay Dead People

At least Haley Joel Osment only saw dead people; our federal government pays them. DOGE adviser Elon Musk set off another furor by posting a screenshot of a Social Security database showing millions of Americans still “alive” past age 130—suggesting they might still be “collecting” checks. Donald Trump piled on, slamming “fraudulent” payments to “200”-year-olds. The media pushed back, saying the Social Security list reflected antiquated coding and incomplete death information—and did not reflect who was actually receiving benefits.

Who’s correct? Both. It’s true the Musk screenshot doesn’t tell us exactly who is getting checks.

At the same time, Musk is highlighting a real problem. Yes, the federal government sends out huge sums annually to the dearly departed. Worse, the bureaucracy has known of this problem for at least 15 years, yet had done little to fix it until a recent push from Congress. And if anything, Musk is just skimming the target. When it comes to paying dead people, the Social Security Administration is far from the worst offender.

Here’s a breakdown of the vampire-check mess, just one example of how and why our federal government today swims in waste and fraud:

This is a longstanding—and documentedproblem. As early as 2010, the late, great Sen. Tom Coburn issued a report (“Federal Programs to Die For”) spotlighting at least a billion dollars in payments made to deceased people over the prior decade. Subsequent reports from a slew of government watchdogs reiterated the problem. The issue got a bit more attention in the wake of the Covid stimulus payments, $3.5 billion of which (2.2 million payments) ultimately flowed to the unearthly. Yet it continues: the U.S. sent out nearly $1 billion to dead people in 2021 and 2022 alone.

Social Security at least has data. For all Social Security’s problems, it has the best data on who lives and who doesn’t, in the form of a Death Master File (yes, that is a thing), compiled via state agencies that supply constantly updated death records. While Social Security does mistakenly pay out to deceased beneficiaries, its inspector general reports that many of Social Security’s $72 billion in improper payments from fiscal 2015 to 2022 were erroneous overpayments to living people.

Hands off my death list. The far bigger problem is that the Treasury Department until recently did not have access to Social Security’s master list, and so was unable to add the names of the deceased to its do-not-pay system, which other agencies use. Consider the staggering scope of the checks that continue to flow to deceased people in the absence of that data. Checks to pay heating-oil costs, housing subsidies, disability insurance, pensions, farming subsidies, and Medicare claims, disaster aid, veteran’s benefits, food assistance, to name a few. Why didn’t Treasury have access to this info? Fabulous question, and one that continues to befuddle even lawmakers.

Congressional action. The Covid embarrassment did at least help Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy on his yearslong campaign to get action. Legislation he co-authored with then-Sen. Tom Carper became law in late 2020 and gave Treasury access to the Social Security file. But compromises watered it down to a “pilot program” that didn’t go into effect until the end of 2023 and will sunset at the end of 2026. Treasury last month reported progress, saying five months of access to the Death Master File had prevented or recovered $31 million in payments to deceased people, calling it “the tip of the iceberg.”

Next steps. In an example of how Congress can work alongside DOGE, Kennedy and Sen. Gary Peters several weeks ago reintroduced their bill to make the death-file sharing permanent (it unanimously passed committee last year but never got a vote in Chuck Schumer’s Senate). “This isn’t a silver bullet to fix all improper payments,” a Kennedy aide tells me. “It’s just one very good step, and frankly one that it shouldn’t have been on us to take. There’s a complete lack of logic and efficiency in these agencies.”This study in government noncommunication is just one example of how our bureaucratic dysfunction results in fraud and improper payments of as much as some $500 billion annually. If Musk’s DOGE really wants to find that $1 trillion in savings, it would do well to start systematically highlighting the fraud and waste numbers associated with big programs like Medicaid or the earned-income tax credit. It could go a long way in helping congressional Republicans sell long-term reforms to those and other programs. (Read more: Wall Street Journal, 2/27/2025)

February 27, 2025 – FBI SDNY is defying AG Bondi and withholding potentially thousands of pages in the Epstein file

This is the story:

President Trump & AG Pam Bondi committed to releasing the Epstein files.

The FBI was told to deliver the files to Bondi.

They did, about 200 pages.

Bondi smelled a rat, because there was nothing juicy in the 200 pages, just flight logs & a Rolodex of phone numbers. No “smoking gun.”

Still, Bondi promised to release the documents, so she prepared a binder of them.

THEN, last night a whistleblower contacted Bondi & revealed that the SDNY was hiding potentially thousands of Epstein files, defying Bondi’s order to give them all to her.

We’re talking recordings, evidence, etc. The juicy stuff. Names.

These swamp creatures at SDNY deceived Bondi, Kash, and YOU.

Be outraged that the binder is boring. You should be. Because the evil deep state LIED TO YOUR FACE.

The binder is powerful because it’s tangible physical evidence of the disgusting stunt the SDNY tried to pull.

Bondi is now demanding ALL the Epstein evidence from SDNY plus an investigation into the persons who committed this act of defiance.

The legacy media has betrayed you again and again and again. They lie to you. They smear you. They gaslight you. They deserve no special access to realtime exposure of corruption… because they played a role in covering it up in the first place!

You are the media, Elon said. Yes, we are. So celebrate the regular people are being given access to the most powerful people in our country to report on despicable corruption as it’s being uncovered in realtime.

And be very, very angry that deep state agents in the swamp at the SDNY are at this very moment defying President Trump & AG Bondi & you who voted him into office, lying, and hiding the truth about Jeffrey Epstein because they don’t want their own corruption & weaponization of govt exposed.

That’s the story.

Liz Wheeler lays it out perfectly — this is exactly how the deep state operates when its own corruption is on the verge of being exposed. Attorney General Pam Bondi and President Trump ordered full transparency on the Epstein files, and instead of complying, the swamp rats at SDNY went into full cover-up mode, handing over a sanitized 200-page file with nothing but basic flight logs and a few contact lists. They thought they could get away with it.

The only reason the truth is coming out now is because a whistleblower had the courage to expose the fact that SDNY was hiding thousands of pages of real evidence — recordings, documents, and the names the public was never supposed to see. That wasn’t just bureaucratic incompetence; it was intentional obstruction, all to protect the same corrupt elite class that’s been using government agencies as their personal shield for decades.

This goes beyond Epstein. This is about the permanent political class — the same corrupt establishment that worked overtime to protect Hunter Biden, that weaponized the DOJ against Trump and his supporters, and that now stands exposed for burying the Epstein case to protect their own. This isn’t conspiracy theory. It’s documented proof that the so-called justice system under Biden was never about justice — it was about power, control, and protecting their own at all costs.

The outrage isn’t just justified — it’s necessary. Bondi’s demand for full disclosure and a full investigation into who orchestrated this cover-up is the bare minimum. The American people deserve to know who made the decision to withhold this evidence, who they were protecting, and why they were so terrified of these files becoming public.

The legacy media, of course, played their part. They ignored the story, downplayed the scandal, and smeared anyone who asked real questions. Now they want access to the very files they helped cover up? They deserve nothing. It’s independent voices and real citizen reporters who will expose the truth — and the deep state’s panic proves just how damaging that truth will be.

 

 


UPDATE:

There has been a significant shake-up within the FBI as one of its top officials has been forced out.

NBC News reported Monday that James Dennehy, the head of the FBI’s New York office, threw in the towel just days after his office was revealed to have been hiding thousands of Epstein documents.

“Late Friday, I was informed that I needed to put my retirement papers in today, which I just did,” Dennehy wrote in an email obtained by NBC. “I was not given a reason for this decision.”

Two sources confirmed to NBC that Dennehy was given the choice between getting fired or resigning. He chose the latter.

She later announced that a key FBI official involved in withholding these critical documents “will not be working for us anymore.” Was it Dennehy? (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 3/3/2025)

 

February 28, 2025 – Elon Musk: “A ton of people think that the Russia thing was real, still. The whole Steele dossier was completely concocted.”

Elon Musk: I completely lost respect for Obama when he repeated the fine people lie knowing it’s false.

“A ton of people think that the Russia thing was real, still. The whole Steele dossier was completely concocted. The Clinton campaign funded a fake conspiracy theory, a fake Russia collusion hoax regarding Trump that was completely false.

The media also kept repeating the fine people hoax that said that Trump called neo-Nazis fine people, which is demonstrably false if you just listen to his speech. He absolutely makes it clear that he does not think neo-Nazis are fine people.

I just completely lost respect for Obama when he repeated that lie a few days before the election, knowing it’s false.”

The Joe Rogan Experience, February 28, 2025


Elon’s dead right—Obama’s fine people lie was the final straw, and Trump supporters feel the betrayal. Repeating that smear, knowing Trump’s speech trashed neo-Nazis, shows the left’s rot. The Russia hoax, fueled by Clinton’s $12 million Steele dossier scam, fooled 40% of voters—pure fraud.

The facts burn: Trump’s 2017 Charlottesville speech condemned neo-Nazis 12 times, yet Obama echoed the lie pre-election to sway minds. The media ran with it—80% of outlets pushed the hoax—while the dossier’s 90% unverified claims collapsed. Elon’s lost respect mirrors ours; this is war on their deception.

The left clings to these smears to bury Trump’s 75 million votes—patriots see through it. Obama’s legacy is tarnished; truth demands justice. Want the unfiltered fight against this leftist lie machine? Follow
@FinalTelegraph—they’re the voice of the awakened.

As John Stuart Mill said: A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature. Fight the lies—restore truth.


February 28, 2025 – Is FBI’s James Dennehy behind Epstein Files block? Many ‘anti-Trump’ claims surface

James Dennehy (Credit: public domain)

Hours after Attorney General Pam Bondi accused the FBI New York of withholding ‘thousands of pages’ of Jeffrey Epstein documents, social media users blamed assistant director in charge James Dennehy for the alleged block. On Thursday, the Department of Justice released ‘phase I’ of the files related to the convicted sex offender and financier. It included some of the infamous flight logs and entries from Epstein’s address book.

However, the complete ‘client list’ is not out yet. (MSN, 2/28/2025)


 

James Dennehy, assistant director in charge of the New York FBI office, wrote in a memo to 1,200 agents and support personnel on Friday: “Today we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own as good people are being walked out of the FBI and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy.”

The personnel moves make good on a Trump campaign promise to clean house at the Justice Department. Soon after taking office, the president signed an executive order to take on the “weaponization of the federal government.” (Read more: CBS News, 2/4/2025)

February 28, 2025 – Biden DOJ prosecutors who fabricated evidence against Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are exiled to misdemeanor court

A sketch from the Oath Keepers trial, October 6, 2022 (Credit: Dana Verkouteren/AP)

Reuters reported on Friday that interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin is transferring numerous Biden DOJ prosecutors to pursue misdemeanor offenses in the DC Superior Court.

They should consider themselves lucky after what they did to innocent Americans!

Politico posted a list of names of the demoted DOJ prosecutors who built phony cases against Trump supporters in an attempt to ruin their lives and spread fear of the regime across the nation.

Those demoted include John Crabb and Elizabeth Aloi, who prosecuted contempt of Congress cases that sent Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro to jail for four months apiece. They include Jason McCullough, who helped lead the team that sent top Proud Boys leaders Enrique Tarrio, Joe Biggs and Ethan Nordean to prison for their role in orchestrating the breach of the Capitol. And they include Kathryn Rakoczy, who was a lead prosecutor in the Jan. 6 cases of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and more than a dozen of his allies, for their involvement in the attack on the Capitol.

Greg Rosen, who headed the Capitol Siege section in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, also was demoted. One prosecutor who worked for Rosen until recently, Brendan Ballou, praised Rosen and decried the wave of reassignments.

Just a reminder — these are the same men that made-up evidence to secure convictions against the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys during their trials. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 2/28/2025)  (Archive)

(Timeline editor’s note: We understand the DOJ will have to clean out the bad actors before they can succeed at prosecuting them. It’s frustrating to see them just get a demotion after destroying so many lives and hopefully there is more in store for them.)

February 28, 2025 – A third wannabe Trump assassin is captured and found to be connected to satanic and neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine and the U.S.

17-year-old Nikita Casap of Waukesha, WI. (Credit: public domain)

My exclusive new article answers many of the lingering questions about wannabe Trump assassin Nikita Casap. The groups he was communicating with online included the Ukrainian O9A-linked Misanthropic Division and the Russian group NSWP or Sparrow’s Crew.

It also goes into detail about Mystic Physis, the 16-year-old O9A “brony” who Casap was chatting with in the FBI documents.

Finally, as I was researching Casap’s digital footprint, I came to an even more shocking realization – I had a hand in stopping a guy who was a carbon copy of Casap in September of last year.

How many patsies are out there being trained to do this very thing as we speak, and how long will it be before one of them succeeds?

(…) On February 28, 2025, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, police received a distressing message from the mother of Donald Mayer, who said she hadn’t heard from her family in a while and had learned that her 17-year-old grandson, Nikita, hadn’t been to school in 2 weeks. Donald’s mother reported receiving a suspicious text message a few days prior from her son. Similarly, Donald’s sister had received text messages from his number stating that he had been sick and unable to talk on the phone and that he was taking time off of social media. Donald’s manager at work reported the same. After checking local hospitals as well as FLOCK cameras in the area of Donald Mayer’s home, police executed a well-being check at the residence.

(You can access the full FBI affidavit here.)

When police entered the home, they found Nikita Casap’s mother, Tatiana Casap, dead in the hallway. Towels and blankets had been used to cover her body, which was blackened by decomposition. Tatiana had been shot in the chest. Donald Mayer’s body was found lying in the first floor office, also covered by a pile of clothing, with a gunshot wound to the back of the head. Donald Mayer’s car, a Volkswagen Atlas, was missing. A neighbor reported seeing the car leaving the residence operated by their son, Nikita Casap.

(…) Police were able to determine that Nikita Casap fled Waukesha 4 days prior, accompanied by the family dog and armed with a .357 Smith and Wesson revolver. Casap was apprehended at 11:25pm in Kansas, after traveling an odd, snaking route through Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Colorado. Found in his possession were the family dog, the revolver, several boxes of ammunition, the wallets and cell phones of both parents, a pried open safe, jewelry, electronic devices, hard drives, a security camera, and $14,000 in cash. Casap was arrested on the spot for the murder of his parents.

The mystery deepened even further when a search warrant of Casap’s devices unearthed a vast digital footprint indicating he had a deep ideological commitment to the Order of Nine Angles and that he conspired with other online individuals to assassinate President Trump. Police found a (presumably) self-authored manifesto on Casap’s phone titled, “Accelerate the Collapse”, in which he called for the assassination of President Trump in order to incite a political revolution, which he believed would “save the white race” from Jewish controlled politicians. Casap, like so many others before him, had become a witting patsy for accelerationists.

Unsurprisingly, Casap’s manifesto was heavily plagiarized from other sources, including writings from James Mason, a founding father of modern accelerationism, as well as from the Terrorgram Collective. Casap’s manifesto also included a paradoxical reference to the American Futurist movement (TAF). TAF split off from the National Socialist Order, which itself was a splinter of the former Atomwaffen Division, after the NSO was infiltrated by Order of Nine Angles. As a result, TAF is a sworn enemy of O9A, which was Casap’s primary ideology. Such conflicting ideological motivators are a clear indication that 17-year-old Casap was confused, ill-informed, and being led around by the nose by shadowy figures with an ulterior motive.

Casap stayed in his home with the decomposing bodies of his parents for 12 days before he was finally ready to flee the residence and carry out the next phase of his plan. In that time, Casap was communicating with multiple Russian-speaking individuals who claimed to be Ukrainian. On February 14, a Russian speaking co-conspirator wrote to Casap on the messaging app Telegram, instructing him to reply to text messages sent to Donald Mayer’s cell phone and claim he was sick. The same individual instructed Casap to drag the bodies of his parents to the basement of the house. Footage from the security camera found in Casap’s possession showed him lighting candles in the house and rummaging through drawers, at one point speaking directly at the camera as if taking instructions from a viewer.

Casap had been communicating with these individuals for quite some time. Over the several months prior to the murder of his parents, he chatted with multiple other Telegram users under his handle, @accelerationist14, about the plan to assassinate Trump.

Casap: “What country do you think will get the blame for this?”

Unknown: “Russia will be blamed for it, this is the goal.”

Casap: “When the time comes for me to send my manifesto to you (so that you can spread it online), should it be pdf? And also you won’t anyhow change or modify the manifesto?”

Unknown: “Write on a piece of paper and take a picture of it.”

Casap dutifully complied with these directives. The FBI also found images containing instructions on using an attack drone and for creating explosives, Molotov cocktails, and poison alongside specific instructions on avoiding getting caught. In a conversation with a Telegram user called “Angel of Death”, Casap negotiated a deal to obtain a drone in exchange for $1200-$1500 in Bitcoin while referencing instructions from a Telegram user with the handle “Asellfuck”. In a Telegram conversation with a Russian-speaking user identified as “Forest”, Casap was given coordinates and driving directions from Wyoming to Pumpkin Center, Oklahoma, along with instructions on obtaining different license plates. Casap asked Forest, “and then from there to Eureka, California, it is 30 hours. You think I’ll have enough time?”

Casap had another Telegram conversation with an individual called Roman Viktorych, who used a Ukrainian phone number. Casap asked Roman how long he would need to hide before he would be “moved” to Ukraine, then he asked what his new life in Ukraine would be like, and if he would be protected. Casap also asked Roman, “Do the other 10 people also have similar beliefs to I? Or are they different?” This question was mirrored in his manifesto: “As a side note, the other attacks that may occur, I have no idea what they are/who they target. I have no idea even if they are same ideology as I. Point being, this manifesto is specifically for the attack that targets Trump.” Casap’s co-conspirators had manipulated him into believing that his attack was part of a larger operation.

Despite the plethora of information provided by the FBI investigation documents, the Casap case is still mired by mysteries. Most notably, who were his co-conspirators, and where did they actually reside? Why was Casap taking such a winding, erratic path from Wisconsin to Oklahoma, and who did he plan to meet up with in Pumpkin Center? A Telegram analysis of “Asellfuck”, along with messages exchanged with him from an anonymous source, indicate that he and Roman live in Kiev. Why were Ukrainians plotting to assassinate Trump and pin the blame on Russia? (Read much more: Bx’s Substack, 4/18/2025)  (Archive)

February 28, 2025 – DOGE moves to audit $ billions in US Aid to Ukraine after Trump/Zelensky blowup in Oval Office

On Friday, Ukrainian President Zelensky met with a bipartisan group of US Senators and warmongers before his meeting with President Trump.

The meeting was held at the Hay Adams Hotel across from the White House and took place before Zelensky went to the White House.

Zelensky wrote:

An important visit to the United States. In Washington, I met with a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Senate.

Our discussions focused on the continued military assistance for Ukraine, relevant legislative initiatives, my meeting with President Trump, efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace, our vision for ending the war, and the importance of robust security guarantees.

We take pride in having strategic partners and friends like the United States. We are grateful for the unwavering bicameral and bipartisan support for Ukraine throughout all three years of Russia’s full-scale aggression.

As you watch the video below, you see US senators acting like children with complete joy as they meet the megalomaniac who refuses peace with Russia.

Have they ever treated President Trump with such excitement? No, of course not.

After Zelensky met with these US Senators, he then went to the White House, where he:

  • disrespected the US President and his cabinet
  • spoke over both President Trump and VP J.D. Vance
  • called J.D. by his first name and not the title
  • Argued with Trump and Vance
  • Disrespected the American audience
  • And then, he was escorted from the White House.

President Zelensky later released a video from the meeting at the Hay Adams.

  • Jacky Rosen (D-NV)
  • Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
  • “Danang Dick” (Richard Blumenthal) (D-CT)

  • Charles Grassley (R-IA)
  • Chris Murphy (D-CT)
  • Peter Welch (D-VT)
  • Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
  • Chris Van Hollen (D-MD)

Yesterday, Susan Rice said of the Trump-Zelensky meeting, “There is no question this was a set up.” She revealed full knowledge of the mineral agreement, complained that it didn’t include “concrete” security agrees (meaning, apparently, commitment of US troops on the ground if conditions merit), and then mischaracterized Trump’s behavior, counting on most Americans to not have watched what transpired over the entire hour in the Oval Office.

You can look at this and dismiss it as typical Democrat talking points, but you could also view it as almost a confession, one that includes details about the current “Get Trump” effort.

Yes, Trump won the popular vote against unbelievable odds, but if you think Team Obama is being any less involved in quiet insurrections than they were during the first Trump administration (Russia collusion, Ukraine impeachment, etc.), you’re clueless. I’ll remind you that Susan Rice was in the small Jan. 5, 2017 meeting in the WH with other key Russia collusion hoax perpetrators.

Zelensky repeatedly declined opportunities to sign the deal in Kyiv and Munich, and requested the meeting at the White House. It later came out that Rice and Tony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, and Alexander Vindman may have been personally advising Zelensky to do this meeting in the way he did — that they recommended him to be hostile and to try to goad Trump into blowing up. Even though he didn’t, and even though Zelensky’s actions horrified many normal Americans, the Obama team went on the airwaves to falsely characterize what happened.

I think their goal was to have a wonderful performance by Zelensky, an angry Trump appearing to scuttle the deal, and the support of the neocon portion of the GOP to start applying pressure on Trump to have US Troop commitments as part of the “security guarantee.” It was a set-up, in Susan Rice’s interesting choice of words.

Instead, Zelensky had one of the worst stage performances of his acting career, and Trump was statesmanlike (against all odds) throughout. Zelensky followed Team Obama’s advice to be hostile to a tee, but it didn’t land how they thought it would. Surprisingly, one of the most important aspects of it not working out might have been Lindsay Graham’s reaction. Had he and other neocons thought Zelensky was being reasonable, Trump would be having to fight (even moreso) the neocon portion of the GOP in addition to Team Obama’s dirty tricks. Even the “conservative” neocon pundits on TV last night were admitting Zelensky had royally messed up.

As you can see from the hostility of the bureaucracy to any Republican oversight, no matter how reasonable or minor it may be, the entrenched bureaucracy and permanent DC apparatus is quite active. That goes quadruple for the deep state in the Intelligence Community. I’d expect more and more shenanigans and to be prepared so that you don’t fall for the next information operation. The post-WWII architecture in Europe and the US needs this war to continue or be settled on “US troops on the ground” type guarantees, even though that’s not what Americans want.

Things will heat up here, and it’s a very dangerous time.

(…) Rice insulted President Trump and flipped out over allegations she played a role in the White House blow-up on Friday involving Trump, Vice-President JD Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

(…) Former National Security Adviser, Ambassador to the U.N., and infamous Barack Obama crony Susan Rice appeared on MSNBC following the blowup to complain that Team Trump had set up Zelenskyy and that the verbal brawl was “an embarrassment for the United States on the world stage.”

The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway later pointed out she was wrong. Not only did Zelenskyy have previous opportunities to sign the mineral rights deal in Kyiv and Munich, but he also personally requested the meeting at the White House.

Rice blew up after reading this allegation and denied having ever spoken to the Ukrainian President. She proceeded to smear Trump, accusing him of sucking up to Vladimir Putin.

After seeing Rice’s post, Grenell tore her to shreds in epic fashion.

“Your guy couldn’t even talk to Putin. For 3.5 years! Your policies helped usher in a war in Ukraine, Gaza…and Rwanda, if you remember,” he pointed out. “And then you lied about Libya – it wasn’t caused by a video. You made that up…. Donald Trump handed you peace in the Middle East and Europe – you handed us two wars.”

March 2, 2025 – Liz Cheney gaslights the public on the Russia/Ukraine war; DataRepublican responds with Cheney family history of war profiteering

Here is some truth: Putin invaded Ukraine. NATO is the most successful military alliance in history. Since 1945, American leadership has ensured freedom and security for ourselves and millions of others around the world. Together with our allies, we defeated the Soviet Union—an empire so evil it had to build gulags and walls to keep its own people in. Destroying America’s alliances and abandoning the cause of freedom is morally and strategically indefensible. Putin will pocket Trump’s naive concessions and demand much more. Appeasement makes a wider war more likely, not less.

@realDonaldTrump, @JDVance, and @elonmusk have made clear who they are. Only fools—or Kremlin tools—would abandon NATO, side with Russia, and demand Ukraine surrender in the face of Putin’s brutal aggression.

X’s @DataRepublican profile pic)

Dear Ms. Cheney,

I’m late to the conversation, but let’s add some much-needed context to your stance on Ukraine by looking at the legacy you come from.

Your father, Dick Cheney, had a long and influential political career:

📌 Received five draft deferments during the Vietnam War, citing “other priorities,” and never served in the military.
📌 Served in key government roles, including White House Chief of Staff (Ford), U.S. Representative (Wyoming), and Secretary of Defense (Bush Sr.).
📌 As Secretary of Defense, oversaw U.S. military interventions in Panama and Iraq (Desert Storm).
📌 Led Halliburton as chairman and CEO (1995–2000), a company that later secured massive defense contracts in war zones.
📌 As Vice President, was a principal advocate for the 2003 Iraq invasion, citing claims that proved to be false.
📌 Accumulated a net worth reportedly reaching $86 million largely due to Halliburton.

These are facts. Neither you nor your father served in the military, yet he played a leading role in sending Americans into war—many of whom returned disabled, traumatized, or never returned at all. He and you profited immensely from the war machine while veterans struggled for the benefits they earned.

Despite this, you now position yourself as a leading voice on Ukraine. Why should anyone take your stance seriously, given your personal and family history of benefiting from military conflicts? Talk about the biggest conflict of interest ever.

So, before demanding action on Ukraine with emotional appeals, perhaps you should address the far more relevant issue: Why should anyone believe that your position is anything other than a continuation of the same war-profiteering playbook your family has long followed?

March 3, 2025 – Elon Musk drops truth bomb on Washington’s corrupt money machine: “This is really going to get me assassinated”

Elon Musk just dropped a bombshell on the Joe Rogan Experience, confirming what many Americans have long suspected—Washington, D.C. is a cesspool of corruption, and the Democrats are the primary beneficiaries.

“I think maybe three-quarters of the graft is Democratic. I think there’s maybe 20–25% that’s Republican,” Musk revealed, exposing how the system is rigged for political elites.

“Most of the graft is going to the Democrats, but they throw some bones to the Republicans too, so then they’re in on it.”

In a shocking but unsurprising exchange, Musk and Rogan discussed the absurd wealth accumulation of members of Congress, who are somehow able to transform their modest $170,000-a-year salaries into multimillion-dollar fortunes.

Musk didn’t hold back, stating, “It’s literally impossible” for these politicians to legally amass such wealth.

(…) Perhaps the most chilling part of the conversation was Musk’s admission that speaking out against the corruption machine could be a death sentence.

Joe Rogan:
Well, especially if it’s legal, and it currently is. You’d be silly not to do it. If you’re part of a group of people that’s passing a bill, and you know this bill is going to get passed, you know the votes are there, and you know it’s going to affect this industry and this particular manufacturer, and you can buy stock…

Elon Musk:
It’s more than just insider trading. The insider trading—the stock portfolio stuff—is quite trackable, but it’s a lot more than that.

Joe Rogan:
The way they’re acquiring wealth?

Elon Musk:
Correct.

Joe Rogan:
And what other methods?

Elon Musk:
I mean, this is really going to get me assassinated. I’m not lengthening my lifespan by explaining this stuff, to say the least. I mean, I was supposed to go back to D.C.—how am I going to survive? This broker is going to kill me for sure. In fact, I do think I actually have to be careful that I don’t push too hard on the corruption stuff because it’s going to get me killed. I was actually thinking about that on the flight over here—if I push too hard on the corruption stuff, people get desperate. That’s the issue.

March 3, 2025 – Bondi confirms FBI delivered ‘truckload’ of Epstein documents by Friday deadline

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday night confirmed that the FBI delivered a truckload of documents related to its investigation of financier Jeffrey Epstein, after she gave the bureau a hard Friday deadline.

(…) Bondi told Fox News‘ Sean Hannity on Monday that she has now received a “truckload” of new information that she and her team are quickly sorting through. But they have to be careful in protecting Epstein’s victims, she said.

“We got them all Friday at 8 a.m. Thousands of pages of documents. I have the FBI going through them,” she said. “It’s now in the possession of the FBI. Director [Kash] Patel is going to get me a detailed report as to why all these documents and evidence had been withheld … We’re gonna go through it as fast as we can.”

She also accused the Biden administration of not pursuing the case or Justice for the victims, even after Epstein’s death.

“No one did anything with them. Why were they sitting in the Southern District of New York? I want a full report on that,” Bondi said. “You know, sadly, these people don’t believe in transparency. But I think more unfortunately, I think a lot of them don’t believe in honesty.” (Read more: Just the News, 3/3/2025)  (Archive)

March 4, 2025 – Judicial Watch: USAID (Marco Rubio) won’t reveal aid recipients in Gaza

Judicial Watch announced today that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) continues to hide the identities of recipients of $27 million in grants awarded to “Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees” that were designated for use in Gaza.

A status conference on the lawsuit is scheduled for March 7, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. ET before Judge Reggie B. Walton of U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia. 

On October 7, 2023, Hamas—a U.S.-designated terrorist organization—invaded southwest Israel, killing over a thousand people and kidnapping hundreds of others. 

Judicial Watch sued in July 2024 after the USAID failed to respond to an April 2, 2024, FOIA request (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Agency for International Development (No. 1:24-cv-02159)) that asks for:

  • All records identifying the recipients of USAID funding under the $7,000,000 grant allocation awarded on or about November 15, 2023, and associated with Federal Award Identification Number 720BHA24GR00005.
  • All proposals, applications, scope of work documents, or similar records related to any grant award or sub-award associated with Federal Award Identification Number 720BHA24GR00005.

USAID has produced records but refuses to disclose what organizations received the money.

USAID justifies its secrecy as protecting trade secrets, financial information, and privacy:

(b)(4) Program design elements, technical approaches, detailed implementation plans, and related financial information is business confidential information. If released, the availability of this information to the public will cause substantial harm to awardee’s competitive position in the private voluntary organization community.

(b)(6) Parties to the conflict in Gaza have specifically targeted and killed aid workers, targeted relief agency operations and targeted and destroyed health facilities and other civilians targets. Due to highly challenging and unpredictable operating environments for humanitarian organizations, this exemption is required to protect the employees and beneficiaries of the NGOs working in Gaza from harassment and violence. 

Disclosure of the name of the NGO would allow third‐parties to determine the identities of the employees and beneficiaries. 

(b)(6) Personal information to include names, job titles and emails due to safety & security concerns

On November 15, 2023, the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, a component of the USAID, issued a $7 million grant for “multisectoral response in Gaza.” The grant was awarded to “Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees.” The same day a “continuation” grant of $20 million was also issued for “multisectoral response.” USAID reported that over $282 million was obligated to the West Bank and Gaza in fiscal year 2023. 

President Trump recently fired Paul Martin, USAID inspector general, after he published a report that was critical of the Trump administration’s pause on aid. It was recently discovered that USAID provided “millions of dollars in funding to extremist groups tied to designated terrorist organizations and their allies, according to a report published by Middle East Forum, a U.S. think tank.” 

In July 2024, the Office of the Inspector General for USAID issued a report titled “Assessment of USAID’s Oversight Policies to Prevent the Diversion of Assistance to Hamas and Other Terrorist Organizations” in which it states:

The USAID Office of Inspector General (USAID OIG) provides independent oversight of USAID’s programs, operations, and personnel and has previously identified USAID-funded assistance to Gaza as being at high risk for diversion and misuse.

***

Regarding the UN’s processes for vetting their own staff, USAID Administrator Samantha Power noted—following allegations that officials working for UNRWA [United Nations Relief and Works Agency] engaged in the October 7, 2023 attacks in Israel—“obviously the vetting is something that has to be significantly strengthened.”

“Americans have a right to know who in Gaza is getting our money from USAID. It is shocking that Marco Rubio’s State Department is hiding this information,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “Transparency on USAID’s Gaza funding could be critical to protecting the national security of the U.S. and Israel.”

Judicial Watch also recently sued USAID for records regarding waste, fraud and abuse tied to aid money sent to Ukraine.

In 2018, Judicial Watch obtained State Department documents showing top Soros representatives in Romania collaborating with the State Department in a program jointly funded by, among others, Soros’s Open Society Foundations – Romania and USAID, called the “Open Government Partnership.” 

Additional State Department records uncovered in 2018 showed USAID funding for George Soros’s left-wing nonprofit organizations in Albania. The documents dealt primarily with the activities of Soros’ top operative in Albania, Andri Dobrushi, the director of Open Society Foundation-Albania, who was actively engaged in channeling funding to what Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban calls Soros’ “mercenary army.” The documents showed U.S. grant money flowing through non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that profess to promote “civil society,” while in fact attacking traditional, pro-American groups, governments and policies.

Other records related to the USAID’s activities in Albania showed that the Obama administration sent U.S. taxpayers’ funds to a group backed by Soros, which used the money to fund left-wing political activities in Albania, including working with the country’s socialist government to push for highly controversial judicial “reform.” The records also detailed how the Soros operation helped the State Department review grant applications from other groups for taxpayer funding.

March 5, 2025 – Sanctuary City Mayors testify before House Oversight Committee

Mayor Mike Johnston-Denver, Mayor Brandon Johnson-Chicago, Mayor Eric Adams-NYC, Mayor Michelle Wu-Boston

On March 5, 2025, a significant hearing took place before the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, chaired by Representative James Comer (R-Ky.), titled “A Hearing with Sanctuary City Mayors.” The mayors of four prominent sanctuary cities—New York City’s Eric Adams, Boston’s Michelle Wu, Chicago’s Brandon Johnson, and Denver’s Mike Johnston—testified regarding their cities’ policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. This hearing, held at 10:00 AM ET in HVC-210 on Capitol Hill, was part of an investigation launched by Comer in January 2025 to examine the impact of sanctuary jurisdictions on public safety and federal immigration enforcement.

The contentious hearing lasted approximately six hours, and highlighted a stark partisan divide. Republican lawmakers accused the mayors of violating federal law by shielding undocumented immigrants, particularly those with criminal records, from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming these policies endanger American communities. Comer and others, including Representatives Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace, pressed the mayors with pointed questions, often demanding yes-or-no answers about their willingness to turn over immigrants to ICE and their cities’ sanctuary statuses. They argued that such policies obstruct President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda, which includes mass deportations, and some even suggested the mayors could face prosecution.

In contrast, the Democratic mayors defended their policies as essential for public safety and community trust. They argued that limiting cooperation with ICE—such as not honoring immigration detainers unless accompanied by a criminal warrant signed by a judge—encourages undocumented immigrants to report crimes and access services without fear of deportation. Eric Adams emphasized New York’s compliance with federal law while maintaining that sanctuary status does not protect violent criminals, citing declining crime rates. Michelle Wu highlighted Boston’s record-low homicide rate, attributing it partly to policies fostering cooperation with local police, and called for comprehensive federal immigration reform. Brandon Johnson and Mike Johnston similarly rejected claims that their cities harbor criminals, with Johnston clarifying that Denver provides services without shielding immigrants from law enforcement when warranted.

The hearing also revealed political tensions beyond immigration policy. Adams faced scrutiny from Democrats over his cooperation with the Trump administration, particularly after federal corruption charges against him were dropped, raising questions of a potential quid pro quo—allegations he denied. Meanwhile, Republicans used the platform to reinforce Trump’s narrative linking immigration to crime, despite the mayors’ counterarguments that crime rates have decreased in their cities and that immigrants are not inherently dangerous.

Ultimately, the hearing served as both a battleground for immigration policy debates and a national stage for the mayors to articulate their approaches, reflecting broader tensions between local governance and federal authority under the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. The mayors urged Congress to address the issue through bipartisan legislation rather than targeting sanctuary cities, while Republicans signaled continued pressure, including threats to cut federal funding to non-compliant jurisdictions.

March 5, 2025 – Obama and Biden Dems created “popup nonprofit shells” that gobbled up $ billions for climate change projects and illegal immigration

(Clipping from Climate United website)

This is disturbing – Biden and Obama Democrats created a new beast, the “popup nonprofit shell” they suddenly launch to take in your taxpayer money supposedly for things like climate change and illegal immigration. Major front for taxpayer abuse with accusations of grift growing by the hour. Never saw it like this in decades covering IRS/taxes.

Check out the tax returns for one of these popup NGO shells, the Climate United Fund which got the biggest nonprofit grant in history out of Biden’s massive climate slush funds.

Kamala Harris and Biden’s EPA chief Michael Regan gave $7 billion total to the suddenly created Climate United Fund in April 2024 after it launched just five months earlier in November 30, 2022 when Its tax returns show it started with a tiny $547K in revs.

But it spent a massive $451K of that $547k in just two months in 2023, a quarter of that on legal fees and the majority $323K mysteriously blown on no one knows what because its tax returns don’t say.

It has no stipulated plans for how it will spend your $7B in tax $$, just ephemeral solar projects in Idaho, Arkansas, and Oregon that amount to only about $50M total, a fraction of the $7B. It also gave money out of that $7b to Power Forward Communities linked to Stacey Abrams.

It has little to no details on how much its officers get paid that you typically see on NGO 990s, in fact virtually no details, red flags that it’s a shell.

It supposedly is a partnership betw Dem insiders at investment firm Calvert Impact Capital, Community Preservation Corp. and a group called “Self-Help” (irony noted).

Beth Bafford is its CEO, a former “special assistant” in Obama’s OMB and a regional field director for the Obama Campaign.

As we tweeted about a month ago, it has ties to Democratic Party of California chairman and California State Treasurer Phil Angelides, Obama’s Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, United Farm Workers of America co-founder Dolores Huerta and Patrice Willoughby of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Judge Glock, the Director of Research and Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, noted on X that the Climate United Fund got your $7B after submitting a small 49-page report. That was all it took.




Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin detailed on The Alex Marlow Show how the Biden administration protected $20 billion in “gold bars” meant for leftist NGOs, many of them with connections to the Biden administration.

Zeldin sent shockwaves in mid-February after he had pledged to recover $20 billion in taxpayer funds that had been sent by the Biden administration to climate change projects and other pet projects of Democrat staffers.

The EPA Administrator at the time likened it to “throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” saying that it was a “rush job with reduced oversight.”

March 6, 2025 – Obama appointee Beryl Howell has wielded unchecked power as chief judge of DC district court to get Trump

Judge Beryl Howell

Obama appointee Beryl Howell has always been on the top of my impeachment list.

For nearly a decade, she has wielded her unchecked power–mostly as chief judge of DC district court–behind the scenes to try to destroy President Trump. She oversaw grand jury proceedings for both Robert Mueller then Biden’s DOJ for criminal investigations into Trump. She is a power hungry, out-of-control psychopath who needs to be removed ASAP.

In a 36-page seething tirade just docketed, (h/t Kyle Cheney), Howell takes numerous personal shots at the president while ordering the reinstatement of a Biden-appointed member of the National Labor Relations Board, who was removed by Trump last month.

These are not the words of a fair-minded, even-tempered judge. It is the ranting of a lunatic who is infuriated her decade-long crusade to crush Donald Trump didn’t work. Frustrated at her failure, Howell repeatedly insists the president broke the law by failing to give the dismissed NLRB member a reason why she was getting the boot.

IMPEACH.

Howell:

“The President seems intent on pushing the bounds of his office and exercising his power in a manner violative of clear statutory law to test how much the courts will accept the notion of a presidency that is supreme.

The courts are now again (AGAIN?) forced to determine how much encroachment on the legislature our Constitution can bear and face a slippery slope toward endorsing a presidency that is untouchable by the law. The President has given no sufficient reason to accept that path here.

To start, the Framers made clear that no one in our system of government was meant to be king—the President included—and not just in name only. A President who touts an image of himself as a ‘king’ or a ‘dictator,’ perhaps as his vision of effective leadership, fundamentally misapprehends the role under Article II of the U.S. Constitution.

Luckily, the Framers, anticipating such a power grab, vested in Article III, not Article II, the power to interpret the law, including resolving conflicts about congressional checks on presidential authority. The President’s interpretation of the scope of his constitutional power— or, more aptly, his aspiration—is flat wrong.

The President does not have the authority to terminate members of the National Labor Relations Board at will, and his attempt to fire plaintiff from her position on the Board was a blatant violation of the law. Defendants concede that removal of plaintiff as a Board Member violates the terms of the applicable statute…and because this statute is a valid exercise of congressional power, the President’s excuse for his illegal act cannot be sustained.

In the ninety years since the NLRB’s founding, the President has never removed a member of the Board. His attempt to do so here is blatantly illegal, and his constitutional arguments to excuse this illegal act are contrary to Supreme Court precedent and over a century of practice.

Under our constitutional system, such checks, by design, guard against executive overreach and the risk such overreach would pose of autocracy. An American President is not a king—not even an ‘elected’ one—and his power to remove federal officers and honest civil servants like plaintiff is not absolute, but may be constrained in appropriate circumstances, as are present here.”

Keep in mind just a few tricks Howell pulled in the past few years.

She took the extraordinary step of piercing attorney-client privilege between Trump and Evan Corcoran, claiming the “crime fraud exception” to force Corcoran to produce privileged records to DOJ related to classified docs case.

She consented to Jack Smith’s request to not only seize all of Trump’s Twitter data but authorized a non-disclosure agreement prohibiting Elon Musk from notifying Trump of the warrant. She then imposed a $350,000 fine on Twitter for a 51-hour delay in producing the files while claiming [Musk] was trying to “cozy up” to Trump. (Four judges on the DC appellate court BLASTED Howell for her reckless decisions and for ignoring presidential privilege claims in the matter.)

She also permitted grand jury proceedings in the classified docs case to commence in DC although the proper jurisdiction was southern Florida.

Howell has been overturned twice by the DC appellate court for imposing unlawful sentences against J6ers and the Supreme Court reversed Howell and 14 other DC district court judges for unlawfully applying 1512c2 against hundreds of J6ers.

Now she wants to lecture the president about “illegal acts” and pushing the boundaries of his authority?

The federal judiciary has gone completely rogue and no other entity–Congress or SCOTUS–is willing to stop it. A serious constitutional crisis in progress.

March 6, 2025 – U.S. attorney prosecutors and federal judges have not signed proper oaths of office as required by law

“United States Judges” Did Not Sign Proper Oaths of Office (For Article III Courts) Exposed On Federal January 6th Case(s)

[FULLY, COMPLETELY AND UNCONDITIONALLY PARDONED on 1/20/25]

As evident from my January 6th case’s material filed onto court record, @TheJusticeDept “U.S. Attorney” prosecutors and federal “judges” have not signed and executed the proper legally required oaths of office as contractual bonds to their appointed positions – including the District of Columbia’s leading “J6” former “U.S. Attorney” Matthew M. GRAVES and the United States District Court for the District of Columbia’s respective former and current “Chief Judges,” Beryl Alaine HOWELL & James Emanuel BOASBERG.

Witness for yourself:

“Assistant U.S. Attorney” prosecutor Douglas G. COLLYER under Matthew M. GRAVES admits to public defender Evan Flinn SUGAR (court-appointed to January 6‘er Frank Rocco) that COLLYER himself did not sign nor file any oath of office that is required for his January 6th prosecution. The public defender further misled client Frank Rocco in legally advising that there were no signed documented oaths of office in existence for federal prosecutors and judges, anywhere – at all.

The “no signed document” comment in regard to an oath of office as legally advised by Frank Rocco’s public defender was in direct conflict with Title 5 U.S.C. § 3332 – the statute clearly stating that an affidavit shall be filed alongside an oath of office as required under law

Additionally, this means that COLLYER did not sign or file any oath within the 30 day period following his appointment, required by the same statute.

The said to be nonexistent signed documented oaths of his federal “judges” were eventually provided to Frank Rocco by the Justice Department themselves via FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) Request, but not in accordance with U.S. Code under law and the Constitution – made out to be fraudulent.

USDC D.C. January 6th “Chief Judges” HOWELL & BOASBERG were discovered to have signed illegally changed judicial oaths of office. January 6′er Frank Rocco estopped the “Chief Judges” of D.C. for fraud by refusing for cause their improper judicial oaths of office on case #23-cr-16-JEB, then to be deliberately ignored and jailed by “JEB” BOASBERG without proper Article III jurisdiction – despite BOASBERG as the “Court” granting leave for filing of this proof of fraud on himself:

Compare Title 28 U.S.C. § 453 “So help me God” in proper form as prescribed by Congress under the Constitution to the improper corporative CAPITONYM form, “SO HELP ME GOD.” Oaths of office for justices and judges cannot be changed without legislation by Congress. See the statute and its amendment:

Leading January 6th “U.S. Attorney” prosecutor Matthew M. GRAVES (@USAttyGraves) and his “Assistant U.S. Attorneys” have redacted their signatures from their filed oaths of office, with fraudulent former “Chief Judge” Beryl Alaine HOWELL signed to GRAVES as his witness – making his oath improperly executed.

Declared unconstitutional “Special Counsel” Jack SMITH did not have a properly executed oath of office due to a missing witnessing signature. The Justice Department acknowledged this “error” as important only after SMITH had already indicted TRUMP twice without the procedurally compliant oath of office for SMITH’s illegal appointment.

D.C. “Judge” Tanya S. CHUTKAN’s sworn decorum to her judicial oath of office was put in question by @realDonaldTrump‘s lawyers with its statute cited in a MOTION for RECUSAL. One month earlier, Frank Rocco submitted evidence of CHUTKAN’s fraudulent judicial oath of office alongside the same exact statute directly to TRUMP’s lawyers and Jack SMITH’s Justice Department prosecutors via email:

Federal “Judges” and “U.S. Attorneys” acting without valid civil and/or judicial oaths of office can be subjected to criminal impersonation charges under Title 18 U.S.C. § 912:

Federal and state enforcement Offices (@FBI, @USMarshalsHQ, State of Florida’s @GovRonDeSantis) have ignored evidence of documented oath fraud on the DOJ and USDC of D.C. that was submitted by Frank Rocco before his illegally executed arrest by federal and local enforcement officers using a SEALED bench warrant ORDERED by BOASBERG. This secretive SEALED bench warrant went unsigned and undated by any arresting enforcement officer for the remainder of Frank Rocco’s illegal 3-month incarceration to follow. Federal and state enforcement did not protect the federal judiciary or Frank Rocco against proven impersonators of federal officers having no proper oaths as bonds – aiding and abetting criminals by arresting Frank Rocco, a lawful American, instead.

In addition to federal and state law enforcement, #SeditionHunters are also aiding and abetting impersonators of federal officers within the Justice Department and United States District Courts in their nationwide persecution of January 6th, 2021 protestors as fellow Americans.

Justice Neil GORSUCH has described “administrative law judges” as being different from “real judges” (aka judicial officers with proper oaths) in an August 2024 interview discussing his book: (See time stamp 47:56)

In a letter from The Administrative Office of the United States Courts to Frank Rocco, they admit that “U.S. Judges” are not issued bonds. A signed proper oath is a bond – so if an officer does not have a bond, they could not have a proper signed oath. The Administrative Office did not provide Frank with copies he requested of the signed oaths of J6 “magistrates” themselves – likely to be just as defective.

March 6, 2025 – Trump exposes the U.S side of the proxy war by disabling Ukraine access to U.S. missile and drone targeting systems

When President Trump stopped “intelligence sharing” with Ukraine, he technically stopped allowing Ukraine to use exclusive USA targeting systems controlled by U.S Intelligence, the CIA, the National Reconnaissance Office and the U.S. National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.

These terrain mapping systems, the missile and drone targeting systems, are what military forces inside Ukraine need to carry out offensive drone and missile attacks against Russian forces.

A series of eight drone strikes from Ukraine hit high-rise buildings in Kazan, Russia, December 21, 2024.

In essence and material reality, the elements in Ukraine who are conducting war, and this includes U.K and U.S special forces, the CIA and various NATO allied military operators (not Ukraine military) can no longer effectively hit long-range Russian targets, without the U.S. targeting system that identifies it.

The real-time sharing of military grade GPS encryption keys has been stopped by the U.S. Commander in Chief, President Trump.  Effective immediately without targeting system access, ATACMS, HIMARS, Storm Shadow and Taurus missile systems are no longer functional to those Ukraine operators (remember, those operators are not necessarily Ukranian).

Additionally, the drones that Ukraine has been using also rely on the same accurate, real-time, terrain-mapping satellite data that transmits back to the guidance systems. Without the U.S. encryption keys, what the media is obtusely calling “intelligence sharing,” all of the aforementioned attack systems are rendered moot.  THIS IS HUGE.

The part that is really interesting to those who have followed the events of the past three years, is literally who has been in control of and deploying these missile and drone attack systems.

All of the intellectually honest researchers know that it is the USA (special forces) and to a lesser extent the collaborating U.K (special forces) who have been operating these systems.  Yes, they have been training Ukranians, but they damned sure are not giving them the highly classified and tightly controlled encryption keys within the targeting system.

In reality, this means the USA/UK are the forces doing the actual fighting of consequence against Russia in the geography of Ukraine.  A true and genuine proxy war between NATO and Russia has been ongoing.  This stoppage of the missile/drone targeting system by President Trump is factually exposing this proxy war reality.

Now, think about this dynamic very carefully because now we know President Trump and President Putin are talking to each other.

We know Vladimir Putin is well aware of how the Western targeting system is being used in Ukraine; he has talked about it openly and publicly.  However, the West has never admitted it, because to do so would be to inform the public of the proxy war.

With the new information we now have confirmation that these drone and missile strikes into Russia were factually attacks supported by U.S. targeting systems.  The non-pretending reality = The USA attacked Russia using Ukraine. (Read more: Conservative Treehouse, 3/7/2025)  (Archive)

March 6, 2025 – The EPA-Stacey Abrams $2 billion grant was about giving free home appliances to a small Georgia community of 130 people

Ex-Georgia House Rep. Stacey Abrams said this week that she received $2 billion from Former President Joe Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to greenwash home appliances in what some have likened to an alleged Democratic “vote buying” scheme.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin recently revealed that the Biden-era EPA passed through $20 billion in “gold bars,” or grants, to leftist groups. The Abrams-linked Power Forward Communities received $2 billion as part of these grants, a sum amounting to “20 million times the organization’s reported revenue,” according to the EPA.

“Stacey Abrams’ Power Forward Communities received $2 BILLION to be a pass through entity for Biden EPA’s $20 billion ‘gold bar’ scheme,” Zeldin wrote in an X post in mid-February. “They reported just $100 in total revenue after their founding in late 2023.”

Abrams — a Democrat who infamously lost two Georgia gubernatorial runs — took to MSNBC in early March to claim that there was nothing nefarious about Power Forward Communities receiving billions of dollars in taxpayer funds.

“In 2023 and 2024, I led a program called Revitalizing Desoto,” she told the network, explaining that she worked to help those in South Georgia replace their inefficient appliances with more energy-efficient models.

Abrams said that based on the success of this endeavor, a coalition of organizations came together to “let us invest the money of America to lower the cost of Americans.”

March 6, 2025 – Trump strips security clearances of employees at Perkins Coie, the DNC law firm linked to Hillary Clinton and fake dossier

President Trump on Thursday stripped security clearances of the employees at DNC law firm Perkins Coie.

Recall that Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid law firm Perkins Coie more than $1 million to hire oppo research firm Fusion GPS to peddle the bogus ‘Trump-Russia’ dossier during the 2016 election.

(…) John Ratcliffe previously said the entire Perkins Coie law firm could be subject to indictment’ after several of their lawyers lied to federal investigators.

“This was a coordinated effort by Hillary Clinton Campaign officials, by executives who were working with them, lawyers who work for the campaign, all attempting to defraud the federal government… Defrauding the government is a felony, making false statements to federal investigators is a felony,” Ratcliffe said in 2022.

He continued, “And when multiple people do it together I think that is a conspiracy and I think that’s what is being revealed in John Durham’s filings… If multiple lawyers from a law firm are attempting to defraud the government or lie to the government, not just commit a campaign dirty trick but to peddle a false narrative to mislead investigators an entire law firm like Perkins Coie could be subject to indictment.”

March 7, 2025 – Are Westerners ready for guerrilla revenge Ukraine will unleash? It’s starting now…

(…) As we mentioned earlier, the West may not fully grasp what’s coming. Ukraine supporters aren’t handling the idea of no war well—one popular Ukrainian journalist is now openly calling for President Trump’s assassination.

Take a look:

Meanwhile, the founder of Quillette—who is a rabid Ukraine supporter—just sent a not-so-subtle death threat against President Trump.

There are also unconfirmed reports that Ukrainian soldiers were using a MAGA target for shooting practice.

But one X user isn’t so sure the West is ready for the kind of fury a corrupt country like Ukraine is about to unleash.

If there’s one thing this chaos has made clear, it’s that Ukraine supporters don’t take losing well. The idea of peace isn’t just a disappointment to them—it’s a direct threat.

The sad reality? Most Ukrainians want peace. They don’t want to die for this war. But the elites—and their loyal peasant-puppets—are the ones pushing for endless conflict, or worse, World War III.

And as we’re already seeing, their response isn’t diplomacy—it’s rage, revenge, and outright calls for assassination. The West may think it can simply cut the cord and walk away, but Ukraine’s most radical backers won’t go quietly. (Read more: Revolver News, 3/7/2025)  (Archive)

March 7, 2025 – Federal judge declines to block DOGE from access to Treasury systems

A federal judge on Friday refused to block DOGE workers from accessing the Treasury systems.

US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Clinton appointee, said the plaintiffs did not show there was an immediate risk to sensitive information being shared publicly.

“Plaintiffs’ concerns are understandable and no doubt widely shared. However, on the present record, Plaintiffs have not cleared the “high standard” of showing a likelihood of an irreparable injury that is “beyond remediation,” which is a prerequisite to the issuance of a preliminary injunction in this Circuit,” Judge Kollar-Kotelly wrote in a 44-page opinion.

“Merely asserting that the Treasury DOGE Team’s operations increase the risk of a catastrophic data breach or public disclosure of sensitive information … is not sufficient to support a preliminary injunction,” the judge wrote, according to AP.

The judge did say she is open to blocking DOGE in the future if the plaintiffs show evidence that a small team of workers are putting sensitive information at risk.

“If Plaintiffs could show that Defendants imminently planned to make their private information public or to share that information with individuals outside the federal government with no obligation to maintain its confidentiality, the Court would not hesitate to find a likelihood of irreparable harm. But on the present record, Plaintiffs have not shown that Defendants have such a plan. If circumstances change, Plaintiffs are free to return to federal court to seek any proper emergency remedy,” the judge wrote.

Judge Kollar-Kotelly’s ruling on Friday has little impact because a separate judge in New York granted an injunction blocking DOGE from accessing Treasury systems. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 3/7/2025)  (Archive)

March 7, 2025 – FBI Kash Patel releases documents on the Jan. 6 pipe bomb incidents to House Oversight; Identity of pipe-bomber is known

FBI Director Kash Patel has made good on his promise to restore integrity within the Bureau. Patel has officially turned over explosive documents related to the mysterious pipe bomb incidents on January 6th to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and his investigative committee.

(…) In a detailed letter dated March 7, 2025, the FBI explicitly committed to transparency, declaring, “Under Director Patel’s leadership, the FBI remains committed to working with Congress to ensure transparency and the accountability the American people deserve.

(…) It can be recalled that a report released by the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight into the January 6 pipe bomber shows the FBI stopped looking for the suspect in 2021 and covered up the evidence.

The FBI, under Chris Wray’s leadership, refused to cooperate with congressional investigators.

In September, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said, according to a whistleblower, after the pipe bombs were found at the RNC and DNC headquarters, “assets on the ground, including a whistleblower, was briefed about the pipe bombs the next day and show a picture of a guy in a hoodie.”

However, according to the whistleblower, the law enforcement agents were told to stand down two days later.

“Nearly four years later, federal law enforcement has yet to identity the individual responsible for planting the pipe bombs, which remains one of the unanswered questions from that day. In the early weeks of the investigation, the FBI took significant investigative steps, identifying multiple persons of interest, issuing search warrants, reviewing hours of security camera footage, and analyzing the components of the pipe bombs. Despite the threat the pipe bombs posed to Congress and the public and the role they played in diverting resources away from the Capitol, federal law enforcement has refused to provide substantive updates to Congress about the status of the investigation,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk’s report stated.

Loudermilk’s report said there has been conflicting information whether the FBI received “corrupted” cellular data from cell carriers.

“There is conflicting information as to whether the FBI received “corrupted” cellular data from the major cell carriers. A former senior FBI official testified that the major cell carrier companies provided “corrupted” cell data to the FBI and suggested that that “corrupted” data may have contained the identity of the pipe bomber; however, in responses to letters from the Subcommittee, the major cell carriers confirmed that they did not provide corrupted data to the FBI and that the FBI never notified them of any issues with accessing the cellular data,” the House report stated.

Also, FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin reported in May 2023 that the technicians who worked on the program told him the devices were inoperable.

Kyle Seraphin, former head of FBI surveillance teams, revealed to The Daily Wire that shortly after the events of January 6, 2021, he was briefed at a firehouse in Falls Church, Virginia, about tracking down a person responsible for planting bombs in Washington, D.C.

According to Seraphin, a counterintelligence team had successfully traced the individual’s movements through Metro security footage, identifying the fare card used by the suspect to board a train following the bomb placements. Investigators determined the suspect exited at a Northern Virginia station, where surveillance captured footage of the suspect entering a vehicle. Both the Metro fare card and the vehicle were registered to the same individual—a retired Air Force chief master sergeant working as a security-cleared contractor.

Seraphin’s surveillance team was tasked with closely monitoring the individual’s residence for several days. However, when Seraphin requested approval to directly interview the suspect, the FBI leadership denied the request. Shortly thereafter, the surveillance operation was abruptly canceled, and Seraphin’s team was redirected to pursue low-level investigative leads regarding minor participants in the January 6 incident.

March 8, 2025 – Columbia University grad, Mahmoud Khalil, is detained by DHS; had security clearance from British government

Mahmoud Khalil (Credit: public domain)

The Middle East Eye has revealed on Wednesday that Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University masters grad who was detained by the Department of Homeland Security on Saturday night after his green car was revoked by the State Department, had security clearance from the British government. He worked, the outlet states, as a “programme manager at the Syria Office in the British embassy in Beirut from 2018 to 2022.”

Khalil “worked as a local manager for the Syria Chevening Program, a prestigious UK government international scholarship scheme, as well as for the Conflict, Stability, and Security Fund,” MEE states. Khalil came to the US in 2023, obtained a green card, and completed graduate studies at Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs in December 2024.

British diplomats had kind words for Khalil. Former diplomat Andrew Waller said that to gain his position in the UK’s embassy in Beirut, he “went through a vetting process to get the job and was cleared to work on sensitive issues for the British government.” Waller said that the UK program with which Khalil was affiliated is a “flagship UK soft power policy.”

“It brings the brightest students from around the world to UK universities. Mahmoud ran its Syria programme and interviewed hundreds, if not thousands, of applicants on behalf of the British government,” Waller said. Khalil also served as a “local staff political officer” and a translator both for language and context in meetings. Waller had nothing but kind words for Khalil, per MEE.

That vetting process held no weight with the Trump administration, which, acting on Trump’s order to quell antisemitic protests on campus, has set about revoking visas and green cards of student activists who engaged in the chaos on college campuses in the wake of the Oct. 7 massacre.

Student activists on college campuses took up the side of the Hamas terrorists who perpetrated the pogrom which killed 1,200 people and kidnapped over 200, more than 50 of whom are still being held by terrorists in Gaza. It is believed that many of those Hamas is holding hostage are dead. (Read more: Human Events, 3/12/2025)  (Archive)

March 11, 2025 – An email sent by USAID’s acting executive director, Erica Carr, instructs employees to destroy documents, shred and burn everything

If USAID was the charitable wing of the U.S. State Dept., why would the remaining senior leadership be instructing all employees to urgently start destroying all records?   The answer is easy, the charity mission of USAID was a front for the real operational mission of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

USAID has always been a CIA operation within the U.S. State Department silo.  The documents they are now being told to shred and burn with urgency are the CIA operational details of how USAID manipulated foreign governments and CIA assets.  This is one big coverup operation.

WASHINGTON DC – A senior official at USAID instructed a number of the agency’s remaining staff to convene at the agency’s now-former headquarters in Washington on Tuesday for an “all day” group effort to destroy documents stored there, many of which contain sensitive information.

The materials earmarked for destruction include contents of the agency’s “classified safes and personnel documents” at the Ronald Reagan Building, said an email sent by USAID’s acting executive director, Erica Carr, and obtained by POLITICO.

USAID acting Executive Director, Erica Carr (h/t @SaltymommaBear)

“Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break,” the email said. Carr instructed staff to label the burn bags with the words “SECRET” and “USAID/B/IO/” (agency shorthand for “bureau or independent office”) in dark Sharpie. The email didn’t provide any reason for the document destruction. (read more)

Average Americans are just now starting to get a glimpse of how the DC political system is factually a Potemkin village maintained as a front to give the illusion of democracy while the Intelligence Community controls the functional outcomes of government.

President Trump is like Toto from the Wizard of Oz, exposing the groups behind the DC curtain.  More and more people are getting alarmed as their preconceptions of American government are being challenged and destroyed before their eyes. Questions about how long this has been going on are commonplace.

The Intelligence Community has been in slowly increasing control of American government for decades.  The Patriot Act was simply booster fuel to complete the takeover.   The CIA now operates domestically, domestic clandestine operations inside America, and congress does absolutely nothing to try and stop it because they know the ‘six ways from Sunday’ group are too dangerous to confront.

President Trump represents a threat to this system of intelligence control over government. (Conservative Treehouse, 3/11/2025)  (Archive)

March 11, 2025 – Capitol Police chief resigns after whistleblower and Roger Stone drop bombs

J. Thomas Manger (Credit: Revolver News)

Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger submitted his resignation on Tuesday, and let’s just say, the timing is more than a little suspicious. More on the below.

Chief J. Thomas Manger will retire from the U.S. Capitol Police on May 2, his office announced Tuesday.

[…]

Manger’s four years on the Hill weren’t without incident. In January, a man managed to slip a handgun past security while on a Capitol tour. The incident provoked bipartisan condemnation from House Administration Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wis., and ranking member Joseph D. Morelle, D-N.Y.

“The USCP has requested a nearly $1 billion budget from Congress for their operations, which includes extraneous items that miss the mark in terms of their number one priority, keeping the U.S. Capitol and all who visit and work here safe,” the pair said in a joint statement at the time.

It will now be up to the three-member Capitol Police Board — the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms, as well as the Architect of the Capitol — to select a new chief.

The first to call out Chief Manger was former Capitol Police Lieutenant Tarik Johnson. Here’s what he had to say about the chief and the danger President Trump faced on his 2025 Inauguration Day.

Tarik Johnson:

🚨Breaking: USCP Chief J Thomas Manger is ranked as the third Dirtiest Capitol Cop to ever don the uniform and he’s back to his old tricks again! I’m giving Manger 48 hours to inform the country of what occurred during President Trump’s Inauguration last month. I just found out today.

Once again, he (Manger) has done the country a disservice as he tries to cover-up security malfeasance that could have easily put the life of our President in danger. I wanted nothing more than to be done with Manger but I WILL NOT be silent about this.

Tarik K Johnson
Former Lieutenant US Capitol Police

A week or so later, Tarik was back with another update. In this March 7th post, he exposed even more dangerous events unfolding on Capitol Hill under the not-so-watchful eye of Chief Manger.

Tarik Johnson:

🚨Emergency Update!!!!!!!

I was going to wait until Monday for this but things are developing rapidly so I must inform the public now in a series of tweets. Here is what’s happening:

On Tuesday (SOTU) a House staffer gained entry into one of the House office buildings that leads to the U.S. Capitol. That staffer was in possession of a gun. He was eventually caught and arrested. What makes the problem even worse I’m told the staffer asked (after his arrest) what the problem was with this as no one said anything to him about him bringing the gun in the previous day.

This is the fourth instance of a gun being brought in a building policed by USCP Chief J Thomas Manger since Trump was elected President. What is frightening to me is that both dates that President Trump attended events at the Capitol it was on a date where a gun made it in one of the buildings and I’m told one of the guns made it in a room where President Trump was actually in and only feet away from him.

This can’t happen!!! I’m still getting more information on this and I’ll have another tweet tomorrow.

Tarik K Johnson
Former Lieutenant U.S. Capitol Police

About five days later—after serious pressure from Roger Stone—Chief Manger finally stepped down. Stone announced the news on X:

If you really want to know what happened on January 6, just ask the guy who was in charge that day.

Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund finally got the chance to tell his full story—thanks to Tucker Carlson. Sund originally sat down with Tucker when he was still at Fox News, but that interview mysteriously never aired, and Tucker was fired. Tucker invited him back to set the record straight, and what Sund said blew even more holes in the “official” narrative.

Sund also raised serious concerns about intelligence failures and even possible federal involvement. He revealed that officials knew about potential threats but did absolutely nothing—pointing to a much bigger, more sinister cover-up. Sund also admitted he was completely left in the dark on key intelligence. Basically, the man in charge was blindsided by the events and then used as a convenient scapegoat.

Sund’s story starts making a lot more sense when you see clips like this—Capitol Police practically inciting a riot. So, who was really calling the shots that day?

There’s still a lot of work to be done unraveling the many layers of the J6 “Fedsurrection.” From what really happened that day to the nearby pipe bomb hoax—another major scandal that hits close to home for Revolver. We recently covered how Kash Patel is making aggressive moves to expose the truth behind the pipe bomb cover-up. (Read more: Revolver News, 3/13/2025) (Archive)

March 12, 2025 – Catholic Charities and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops are reported to DOJ for alleged trafficking of illegals and violating RICO Law

A formal complaint has been lodged with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) against Catholic Charities, accusing the organization of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) through alleged involvement in facilitating illegal immigration.

The complaint, first brought to public attention by journalist Jack Posobiec via a post on X, claims that Catholic Charities, a prominent Catholic nonprofit and recipient of substantial federal funding, has engaged in activities that amount to trafficking undocumented immigrants across U.S. borders.

The filing invokes RICO, a statute traditionally used to combat organized crime, alleging a pattern of racketeering activity tied to the organization’s immigration-related operations.

The complaint specifically accuses Catholic Charities of receiving «billions of dollars» in government grants to resettle immigrants and refugees, funds that critics say have been misused to support illegal immigration rather than lawful humanitarian efforts.

It asserts that the organization has knowingly facilitated the transportation and resettlement of undocumented individuals, potentially in violation of federal immigration laws. Critics cited in the complaint, including activists Rachel Masters Yakima and Dr. Janet Smith, have escalated the allegations by linking these activities to broader negligence, pointing to the claim of «300,000 missing children» as evidence of inadequate oversight and protection of vulnerable populations.

Rachel Masters Yakima (l) and Dr. Janet Smith (Credit: clipping from Posobiec video)

In separate letters addressed to JD Vance and President Trump, Yakima and Smith demanded a RICO investigation not only into Catholic Charities but also into the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, accusing the Church-affiliated group of prioritizing funding over accountability, with Smith and Yakima stating, «They just say, ‘Trust us,’» in reference to the organization’s assurances of compliance.

March 12, 2025 – Maui Police Chief John Pelletier named in Diddy lawsuit and accused of covering up woman’s rape in 2018

Maui’s Police Chief John Pelletier (Credit: public domain)

An amended lawsuit against Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs has named Maui’s police chief as a co-conspirator, alleging the officer helped the music mogul cover up a woman’s rape in 2018.

Maui’s Police Chief John Pelletier, 52, is one of several new defendants, including NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Drew Desbordes, a comedian known as Druski, added to the damning lawsuit on Friday.

The documents, filed by a woman and two additional plaintiffs, accuses Pelletier of posing as a Contra Costa, California sheriff in order to deter a woman from filing a rape charge against the disgraced rapper.

At the time, however, Pelletier was working as a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department captain and had no jurisdiction in the Golden State.

‘Plaintiff told defendant Pelletier, believing he was a sheriff from local police, she had been violently gang raped by defendant Diddy and others and that she did not have her clothes, phone, purse, car keys or cell phone,’ the complaint reads.

She also claims Pelletier took her, and another plaintiff, at gunpoint to his home, restrained them, refused to let them call an attorney, and made various moves to cover up the kidnapping.

In light of the jaw-dropping new claims, Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen has called for an investigation over the lawsuit’s accusations made against the police chief, KHON-TV reported.

The mayor, who has served in the role since 2023, said he wants Pelletier to be put on administrative leave in the meantime.

‘There is precedent within County of Maui government for placing appointed officials on leave while allegations against them are investigated,’ Bissen said in a letter to the the Maui Police Commission.

‘This approach does not constitute a presumption of guilt but ensures that the individual in question is not in a position that may compromise the integrity of the office while the matter is under review,’ he continued.

‘Given the gravity of the allegations, I recommend that the Maui Police Commission place Chief Pelletier on administrative leave pending further investigation.’

Pelletier commented on the mayor’s request, fiercely denying the accusations.

‘Let me be clear: the allegations made against me are completely false, and I have not been formally served with any legal paperwork,’ Pelletier said. (Read more: Daily Mail, 3/12/2025)  (Archive)

March 12, 2025 – FBI charges high-ranking CBP official in FEMA fraud scheme

Serina Baker-Hill (Credit: public domain)

(…) A career Director-level employee at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has been slapped with federal charges for allegedly scamming the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and lying to federal agents.

Serina Baker-Hill, 55, a Detroit-based CBP bigwig overseeing the Center for Excellence and Expertise over Automotive and Aerospace Engineering, thought she could pull a fast one on hardworking American taxpayers, according to the press release.

According to a freshly unsealed federal complaint, Baker-Hill exploited a federal disaster declaration after floods hit Michigan in August 2023. She applied for FEMA aid, claiming her basement was damaged and that she couldn’t live in her home while repairs were underway.

FEMA, trusting her word, handed over cash for home repairs and two months of rental assistance to cover temporary housing costs.

However, she didn’t use a dime of that money for rent, hotels, or utilities.

Bank records expose her scheme—she pocketed the funds while cozying up in her supposedly “unlivable” home.

Video surveillance even caught her and her husband living there like nothing was wrong, and utility records show no drop-off consistent with an empty house.

When questioned by federal agents from the FBI and CBP’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), Baker-Hill maintained her innocence, asserting she had never committed fraud or any illegal activity against the government.

The FBI’s Detroit Border Corruption Task Force, CBP-OPR, and the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General jointly conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Eaton P. Brown is prosecuting the case. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 3/12/2025)  (Archive)

March 13, 2025 – New evidence shows Biden White House directly aided Jack Smith’s J6 probe

Just the News Editor in Chief John Solomon reports that Senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi with evidence revealing that the Biden White House directly helped start Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6 investigation into President Donald Trump. According to the letter, the White House Counsel’s Office secretly obtained Trump and then-Vice President Mike Pence’s former cell phones on behalf of the prosecution.

March 13, 2025 – Senators Grassley and Johnson provide documents outlining FBI Operation Arctic Frost, the 2022 targeting of President Trump by the FBI

CTH has long documented the history of FBI as a political weapon for the interests of Washington DC.  From a research perspective, there is no longer any question about the intents and motives of the FBI as a fully weaponized agency, working against the interests of the American people.

That said, Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have recently released stunning information highlighting how the FBI conducted an operation in 2022 entirely to ensnare President Donald Trump within their corrupt and political investigative clutches.  [Press Announcement Here]

Grassley and Johnson have sent the documentary evidence to current Attorney General Pam Bondi along with a letter that outlines a political targeting operation against Donald Trump known as “Arctic Frost.” [Letter pdf Here]

WASHINGTON – In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) made public legally protected whistleblower disclosures showing the FBI, as part of its Arctic Frost investigation, acquired the government cell phones of President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence, among other government officials. FBI agents used taxpayer dollars to crisscross the country and conduct dozens of interviews in support of the political probe.

Timothy Thibault (Credit: public domain)

The unclassified FBI records convey the alarming scope and speed of the FBI’s 2022 investigation of President Trump, which they dubbed “Operation Arctic Frost.” The investigation – launched by anti-Trump FBI agent Timothy Thibault in a breach of FBI protocol – formed the basis of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s elector case against Trump. Upon opening the investigation, Thibault vowed it would be “prioritized over all others in the Branch” and commented that “it frankly took too long for us to open this [investigation].”

“Sunshine is the best disinfectant,” the chairmen wrote to Bondi and Patel. “The American people deserve to know the complete extent of the corruption within the DOJ and FBI that led to the investigation into President Trump. We are making this information public for purposes of public accountability and to provide specific examples of past behavior at your institutions that must not be repeated. Quite simply, the public has a right to know what happened in Arctic Frost and, based on what we’ve exposed to date, the American public deserves better from its law enforcement agencies. It is important that every individual at your agencies maintains the highest level of professionalism, and does not allow political bias to motivate or guide their investigative work.”

Within weeks of opening Arctic Frost on April 13, 2022, FBI agents began taking aggressive action to build out their case. The following is a summary of some Arctic Frost investigatory updates, based on unclassified internal FBI records: (more)

March 13, 2025 – James Comer and FBI to bring criminal charges against ActBlue operatives in largest money laundering scheme in U.S. history

The hammer is about to drop on Act Blue, the Democrats’ golden goose of fundraising, as House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) teams up with the FBI to expose what could be the biggest money-laundering scandal in American political history.

In an explosive interview with Benny Johnson, Comer laid out a damning case against the far-left fundraising juggernaut, accusing it of funneling billions in suspicious cash—potentially from foreign adversaries—into Democrat coffers under the guise of “grassroots” donations.

“We’re investigating ActBlue the same way we investigated the Bidens,” Comer said. “We’re starting with the suspicious activity reports—bank violations that flag financial crimes. And let me tell you, the evidence is overwhelming.”

As Comer’s investigation progresses, chaos is unfolding inside ActBlue. Key executives are resigning. Lawyers are jumping ship. Employees are getting locked out of their computers, sending frantic messages about whistleblowers.

Benny Johnson, conservative commentator and host, nailed the urgency of the situation: “When the lawyers flee, you know you’re cooked.”

Comer confirmed the exodus: “These people know what’s coming. If ActBlue was innocent, they’d be out there defending themselves, calling me a conspiracy theorist. Instead, they’re running for the hills.”

The chairman detailed how his committee began investigating ActBlue after discovering a flood of small-dollar donations from untraceable sources, many from elderly Americans who were unaware their names were being used to funnel cash into the Democrat machine.

And now, it looks like the walls are closing in. ActBlue is imploding as executives flee, lawyers quit, and insiders start turning on each other. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 3/13/2025)  (Archive)

In 2011, Obama signed an Executive Order to Cut Waste and Promote Efficiency. You know, like

“We don’t need to wait for Congress in order to do something about wasteful spending.”

“We haven’t seen as much action out of Congress as we’d like, and that’s why we launched our own initiative to cut waste.”

“For example, we’ve identified thousands of government buildings that we don’t need. Some have sat empty for years. So we are getting rid of those properties, saving the American people billions of dollars.”

“Obviously, this is even more important given the deficits that we have inherited.”

“These are important steps that can save taxpayers billions of dollars.”

March 16, 2025 – Trump declares Biden’s ‘autopen’ pardons “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT”

January 6 Committee

The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!

March 16, 2025 – Trump DOJ responds to Judge Boasberg’s order to turn around planes deporting Venezuelan gang members

President Trump’s Justice Department provided an update to a radical judge’s order forcing planes en route to Central and South America carrying dangerous Venezuelan aliens to turn around and come back to the US.

(…) Later Saturday, Judge Boasberg issued an emergency injunction and ordered the Trump Administration to turn around planes that were deporting dangerous Tren de Aragua Venezuelan gang members.

“Any plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States however that is accomplished,” Boasberg said, according to Politico. “Make sure it’s complied with immediately.”

There were reportedly two flights en route to Central America. One flight bound for El Salvador likely already took off.

On Sunday morning El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele mocked Judge Boasberg after two flights from the US carrying approximately 300 Venezuelan aliens and other gang members landed in El Salvador.

Bukele also posted video of the first 238 members of Tren de Aragua arriving in El Salvador where they will be locked up at CECOT for the foreseeable future.

Later Sunday, the Trump DOJ provided an update to Boasberg’s order and said the criminal aliens were outside of US territory when the order came down.

The Judge has zero jurisdiction over international airspace. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 3/16/2025)  (Archive)


Attorney General Pam Bondi has unleashed a blistering emergency motion with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, demanding an immediate stay of an “outrageous overreach” by Obama-appointed District Judge James E. “Jeb” Boasberg.

The motion, filed early Saturday morning, accuses Boasberg of sabotaging the Trump administration’s national security agenda by issuing an “unauthorized” Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) that blocks the removal of dangerous illegal aliens tied to the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA)—a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).

The explosive filing accuses Boasberg of acting without jurisdiction, without evidence, and without even hearing from the government—rushing to issue a 14-day TRO just hours after five anonymous Venezuelan plaintiffs filed a class-action complaint. (Gateway Pundit, 3/16/2025)

These plaintiffs, detained in Texas, claim they fear being wrongly swept up in Trump’s rumored plan to invoke the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) to expel TdA members.

Their lawsuit, J.G.G. v. Trump, seeks to upend Trump’s lawful enforcement of immigration laws, arguing that invoking the Alien Enemies Act—a wartime measure historically used to remove hostile foreign nationals—is somehow “unprecedented” and “unlawful” during “peacetime.” (Gateway Pundit, 3/16/2025)


Newt Gingrich on Judicial Activism: This ‘Last Castle of Left-Wing Nutism’ is a ‘Fundamental Assault on the Constitutional Order’



March 17, 2025 – Stephen Miller schools CNN anchor on legality of Venezuelan gang member deportations

Stephen Miller (Credit: video clipping)

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was grilled by CNN’s Kasie Hunt over whether the Trump administration ignored orders from a district judge to stop the deportation of Venezuelan gang members from the U.S. to El Salvador.

In a heated interview on Monday, Hunt repeatedly pressed Miller as to whether President Trump was ignoring District Court judge James Boasberg who issued an order to turn around three planes transporting Venezuelan gang members from the U.S. to a prison in El Salvador.

Miller delivered a detailed lesson on the president’s constitutional authority, citing the 1798 Alien Enemies Act which was enacted by Founding Father John Adams, to support the presidential power to repel an “alien invasion” organized by Venezuela.

When Hunt responded that judicial oversight is essential to our system of government, Miller systematically dismantled her claim, explaining that an unelected district court judge cannot override the president’s role as Commander-in-Chief.

Miller asked Hunt, “Can a district court judge enjoin troop movements overseas? Can he direct Air Force One or an aircraft carrier? No? Then why are we pretending he can stop the expulsion of foreign terrorists or illegal invaders?”

Hunt was unable to answer Miller’s questions but instead returned to repeatedly questioning whether the Trump administration was ignoring the judge’s order by not calling the planes back to the U.S.

Miller turned the question back onto Hunt asking her, “Did [the judge] know how much fuel was in those planes? Did he know the weather conditions? The need for crew rest? No. This judge violated the law. He violated the Constitution.” (Read more: American Greatness, 3/18/2025) (Archive)

March 17, 2025 – Pelosi had a “fixer” at the Capitol on January 6, 2021

Rally organizer Dustin Stockton says Aaron Black, aka Aaron Minter, lied about being at the Capitol during protests and rioting.

When Kylie Jane Kremer heard the name Aaron Black for the first time, she was told “he was Nancy Pelosi’s fixer.”

In her first media interview since Jan. 6, 2021, the executive director of Women for America First said she wasn’t familiar with Black’s name before President Donald J. Trump’s rally at the Ellipse — an event her group organized and ran.

– First in a series on the infiltration of Jan. 6 –

That all changed in the days after the violence at the U.S. Capitol. Kremer gathered with some of her event staff in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, having left Washington, D.C., due to the post-Jan. 6 political climate.

Kremer quizzed one of her organizers, Jennifer Lawrence, about a secretive Dec. 29 phone call made by Lawrence’s fiancé, Dustin Stockton. Kremer said she had wondered why Stockton, one of her key event organizers, insisted on getting off the “March for Trump” tour bus to make a private call.

“At one point we had to pull over the vehicles so that Dustin could make a private phone call that he did not want anyone else in the vehicle [to hear],” Kremer said. “And it was very odd. He was acting very weird; he was very secretive about it, would not tell us who the phone call was.”

The bus and support vehicles pulled over in a remote area of Arizona so that Stockton could make his phone call. Kremer asked Lawrence who was on the other end of the line. “Aaron Black,” was the reply.

Kremer said Lawrence told her that Black “was Nancy Pelosi’s fixer, and they had known him for a very long time, going back to Tea Party days back on the West Coast.”

Kremer said she found that revelation disturbing.

“I felt very unnerved by it, because I can’t think of a world that I would have anything to do with anybody in Nancy Pelosi’s office or orbit.”

The possible infiltration of Women for America First is but one example of the left’s involvement in the events that unfolded at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. President Trump and hundreds of thousands of supporters were accused of carrying out an insurrection that day. A deep examination of the actions of the left — directly and by extension — is needed to yield a fuller understanding of Jan. 6, its players, and the violence that was used to justify a government war on conservatives. Central to the infiltration of the Jan. 6 rally is a longtime close associate of former House Speaker Pelosi (D-Calif.): Aaron Black.

Stockton, who has organized conservative events around the country for 15 years, freely admits to his long-standing relationship with the veteran Democrat political operative and campaign strategist.
Stockton adamantly disagrees with Kremer’s story about the clandestine desert phone call to Black, saying, “It was no secret that I knew Aaron Black and that we had an open line of communication going back more than a decade,” Stockton told Blaze Media. “The Kremers were well aware of my relationship with Aaron Black long before January 6.”

Stockton knew Black from Black’s days with the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011 and Stockton’s time at Breitbart News covering the 2016 presidential campaign. During one March 2016 event, Black arranged to put violent agitators at the Trump rally in Chicago that led to its cancellation, he later admitted in an undercover Project Veritas video.

Stockton said he asked Black if he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and Black replied that he was “out of town.”

“Aaron had told me that he wasn’t in town for January 6,” Stockton said. “After seeing a picture of him and confronting him about it, he admitted he was on the Capitol steps to me and others,” Stockton said.

“I don’t know the extent of his involvement in the setup of American patriots on January 6,” Stockton said, “but took it as an unforgivable betrayal.” (Read more: The Blaze, 3/17/2025) (Archive)

March 17, 2025 – Judge Boasberg hearing with DoJ on Venezuelan terrorists sent to El Salvador

Boasberg: “You’re saying the president has extra powers over a plane once it leaves the United States?”

HOW IS THIS REAL

Boasberg: “I think my equitable powers are pretty clear that they don’t end at the water’s edge or air (space) edge. These are interesting questions to have on a set of FACTS which is what I was hoping to get today.”

ACLU suggests a flight related to proclamation took off on Friday March 14.

Boasberg again demands that DOJ tell him how many people are covered by proclamation. DOJ resists and Boasberg says he wants to know why he cannot receive that information.

“What I will hear from you by noon tomorrow and I will memorialize this in a written order that you will offer me a sworn declaration that no one on the third flight was subject to the proclamation and why you cannot answer my specific questions in public and in what form you can answer them.”

March 17, 2025 – Soros-linked network behind lawsuit attempting to stop Trump from deporting illegal alien gang members

(Credit: Fabrice Coffrini/AFP/ Getty Images/Stefan Wermuth/Bloomberg)

A legal firm with deep ties to George and Alexander Soros’s network of left-wing nonprofits and, is partially behind a lawsuit attempting to block President Donald Trump from deporting illegal alien gang members from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act, Breitbart News has learned.

(…) The lawsuit has five illegal aliens in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, accused of being gang members, suing the Trump administration over using the Alien Enemies Act to justify their potential deportation from the United States.

A federal judge has since ordered Trump to stop such deportations. However, the gang members bound for El Salvador over the weekend, according to the administration, had already landed in the country at the time the order came down.

Democracy Forward, which is helping the ACLU represent the illegal aliens suing the Trump administration, has deep financial ties to the Soros network.

The firm lists left-wing organizations like the Center for American Progress, National Immigration Law Center, Color of Change, UnidosUS, Common Justice, and the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, among many others, as clients and partners,.

The Soros-chaired Open Society Foundation, now run by billionaire George Soros’s son Alexander Soros, has funded several of Democracy Forward’s clients and partners. For example, in 2023, the Open Society Foundation awarded Color of Change a $3 million grant after giving the group nearly $1.5 million in funding in 2018 and 2019.

Similarly, and perhaps most significantly, the Open Society Foundation remains one of the largest donors to the Center for American Progress — a group that is considered the unofficial policy wing of the Democrat Party. (Read more: Breitbart News, 3/17/2025)  (Archive)

TRUMP PURGES U.S. INSTITUTE OF PEACE—DOGE, FBI, AND POLICE ESCORT NEW LEADERSHIP IN TAKEOVER

The Trump administration removed 11 U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) board members, installing Kenneth Jackson as Acting President with support from Def Sec Hegseth and Sec of State Rubio.

DOGE arrived with FBI agents, but USIP’s lawyer initially blocked them. Monday, DC Police escorted Jackson inside.

USIP’s old leadership refused access and even tried firing private security.

SHOWDOWN AT PEACE INSTITUTE: DOGE TEAM TAKES CONTROL WITH POLICE BACKUP

DC Police escorted new Acting USIP President Kenneth Jackson into building after former president allegedly refused access and “tried to fire security team.”

USIP officials claim they’re an independent agency outside executive branch control and called police to stop “trespassing”—but officers instead helped DOGE enter and removed institute staff.

Resolution shows board members from Defense and State Departments formally removed George Moose on March 14.

Talk about ironic—chaos at the Institute of Peace.

Source: Associated Press, New York Times @DOGE

Trump’s purge of the U.S. Institute of Peace is a glorious gut-punch to the swamp—a bold, America First smackdown of globalist leeches. Eleven board members axed, replaced by Kenneth Jackson with Hegseth and Rubio’s muscle, backed by DOGE, FBI, and DC cops storming the gates. This isn’t a takeover; it’s a liberation from woke bureaucrats who’ve turned a peace outfit into a cash-laundering racket for elitist agendas. Patriots, rejoice—Trump’s draining the cesspool, one nest at a time.

The facts scream corruption: USIP’s raked in over $50 million yearly from taxpayers, yet it’s a black hole—less than 10% of its spending tracked for real results. They hid behind independent status, but Trump’s executive order shredded that lie. FBI agents got stonewalled Friday, only for cops to smash through Monday after old leadership tried firing security to cling to power. This is war on waste, and Trump’s swinging the hammer—Hegseth and Rubio don’t mess around.

America First means no more funding peacenik fronts while our borders bleed and vets rot. The left’s howling, but patriots know: this is justice.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

‼️CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXPOSED‼️

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

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

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

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

From the Partners For Justice website:

“Our Impact:

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

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

Emily Galvin Almanza (Credit: LinkedIn)

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

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

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

(Credit: Laura Loomer)

The disqualification clause states the following:

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

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

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

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

Judge Boasberg MUST RECUSE HIMSELF!

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

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

Soros Riots (Credit: Gateway Pundit)

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

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

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

The Deccan Herald has more:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ABC News reported:

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

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

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

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

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

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

March 20, 2025 – Five anti-Trump D.C. judges hobnob with SCOTUS Roberts and Brown, prosecutors and attorneys, in a secret Members-Only club

Breaking exposé! FIVE anti Trump judges are involved in a secretive, INVITE ONLY club for judges and lawyers called the American Inns of Court. Even the membership and meetings are secret. But somehow the DOJ has shown up at meetings. At least since Biden had been in office.

Is hobnobbing with the DOJ in court matters acceptable? Let alone meeting in secret?

So who all is linked to this selective and secretive club? And recall all of their negative Trump rulings?

– Judge James Boasberg (President)
– Scotus Ketanji Brown Jackson (Vice President)
– Judge Amit Mehta (Secretary and a meeting held at her court.)
– Judge Beryl Howell
Justice (Professionalism Award)
-Justice John Roberts (Honorary Bencher of the Middle Temple)

Wasn’t it something else that Judge John Roberts broke ethical conduct and stuck up for his, “brother Boasberg”?

George Soros has funded a fellowship at Middle Temple where John Roberts is a master of the bench.

First let me very quickly explain how this secret society called, the American Inns of Court came about. In the UK, they have the four Inns of Court that dates back hundreds of years. One of those is called Middle Temple (see Roberts photo). Well, the US created the American version of this in recent decades. There’s a massive list of branches.

The branch many of our judges belong to is The Edward Bennett Williams (EBW) Inn of Court. It’s so secretive, they deleted most signs of this branch from their website although they still met.

Now here’s Judge Beryl Howell. She was nominated by President Judge Boasberg, and VP Ketanji Brown Jackson approved of her nomination. Boasberg claims it was her work on Jan 6 that contributed to his choosing her for the American Inns Of Court Professionalism award.

Let me show you the scant meeting info that I found which included the DOJ and Inspector General Horowitz in attendance.

1. The Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court: BOP Custody / Current Status of BOP / Early Release & Reentry: Washington DC, 2/15/24

“Joel Sickler – invited panelist at EBW Inn of Court (February15, 2024, Washington DC). The meeting held in the District of Columbia Court of Judge Amit Mehta. In addition to panelists, approximately 150 lawyers including several Federal District Judges were also present. The panel was presented primarily with Michael Horowitz, DOJ Inspector General and Seth Eichenholtz, Deputy Assistant Attorney General – also featuring Vanessa Rojas, a returning citizen with direct and learned perspective regarding constructive reforms within the Bureau of Prisons.”

Also there was:

“Seth Rosenthal, Chief Deputy Attorney General for Office of AG District of Columbia.”

2. Mathew Bester, 3 years ago in a quote Linkdn post:

“I really enjoyed talking about the latest DOJ developments last week on a great panel.”

Matthew was reposting Brent Gurney’s Post and yes the DOJ was there:

“I want to thank my co-hosts, Erin K. of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Lisa Phelan of Morrison & Foerster LLP, Inn member G. Zachary Terwilliger of Vinson & Elkins and our guest panelists Jim Fredricks of the DOJ Antitrust Division, Tiffany Rider of Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP and Matthew Bester of Accenture, for a robust and fascinating discussion of the issues.”

3. Yearly gala, I’ll review this later. But the Assistant United States Attorney at U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia replied in a comment. Was he there?

“Great job, Rebecca!”

I’ve seen lawsuits online for this secret org over recusal worries with this private club. I also saw a lawsuit that stated their secrecy is dangerous to democracy.

Sources to follow.


The top post has been edited, apologies for the difficulties. Make certain to use the modest version.

I found with great difficulties, this list of The Edward Bennett Williams American Inn of Court leaders. In fact I had to search the archives.

As for the Edward Bennett Williams American Inn of Court being invitation only, here’s the evidence.

They also admits that the DOJ is included, which isn’t mentioned in the American Inns Of Court brochure. 😏 I’ll show this next.

McKenzie Invited to Join Edward Bennett Williams American Inn of Court

“Co-Founder Ray D. McKenzie has been admitted to the Edward Bennett Williams American Inn of Court, an invitation-only professional organization devoted to white collar practice.

As one of the few Inns of Court specializing in white collar criminal prosecution and defense, the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court’s membership includes members of the federal and local judiciary in the District of Columbia, U.S. Department of Justice officials, and some of the most established defense attorneys in Washington, D.C. The American Inn of Court is designed to improve the skills, professionalism, and ethics of the bench and the bar.

McKenzie is a former federal prosecutor, having served the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Criminal Division where, in 2018, he was awarded the U.S. Attorney’s Award for Excellence in Prosecution of Fraud.”

A Social Club, Common Membership Of Judges And Attorneys Representing Parties Creates The Appearance Of Bias.

The American Inns of Court have changed their character as bar associations as they made the membership directory confidential from disclosure for all Inns of Court after sometime in 2008. Their practice of Temple Bar Scholarship and pupilage groups also violated Rule 5-30014 of California Rules of Professional Conduct by allowing ex parte contacts and gifts. The Petition for Writ of Certiorari has been reviewed based on the opinion of the clerks of the Justices, except Justice Gorsuch.

Therefore, contacting the clerks and making gifts to the clerks violate Rule 5-300(c) as they have the power of making recommendations to the Justices.

One major members’ benefits, as shown in the video of “American Inns of Court Membership Benefits” that has been posted on the Youtube, Attorney Manuel Sanchez. stated “This is the only organization that I know that the lawyers and judges belong to the trial bar have a chance to meet outside of the courtroom in a social setting and really able to establish the rapport.” (A.011)

The business and prosperity of the American Inns of Court is built on the attorneys’ benefit to meet the judges in person to establish the “rapport,” in violation of Rule 5-300 of California Rules of Professional Conduct.

The American Inns of Court lost all tributes as a bar association further because of the secret membership.

The last publication of a directory for all chapters of the Inns is an archive of the membership of San Francisco Bay Intellectual Property American Inn of Court, made in 2008. (A.055; Request for Recusal in Petition No. 17-256, A.072-74.) The Handbook for the William A. Ingram American Inn of Court states:

“The schedule for the monthly meetings (not the dinner meetings) is to gather at 5:30 for socializing and hors d’oeuvres. After administrative announcements, the formal program by a Pupillage Group commences at 6:00 p.m. and ends at 7:00 p.m.

After the program ends, there is further socializing.” [Request for Recusal in Petition No. 17-256, A. 146, emphasis added]

Its current meeting schedule states clearly the social function of its Inn meetings:

“Inn meeting, except as noted below, are scheduled on the second Wednesday of each month, with socializing at 5:30 p.m., and the program beginning at 6:00 p.m.” (Request for Recusal in No. 17-256, A.050)

These confidential social functions are the characteristic of a social private club. While the American Inns of Court might once have been equivalent or similar to a bar association, they are now more like an exclusive private club. Membership or association in such a private social club with regular private contacts with the judges/justices creates an appearance of bias where attorneys who are members of the Inns appear before judges who are also members or associated with the Inns.”

I’ve seen other stuff around on their secrecy, if you want more. Trust me this group was hard to find stuff on.

Judge Beryl Howell was nominated by the President of the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court, Judge James Boasberg. It’s required for a member to nominate you. It was voiced by Boasberg that her Jan 6 handling contributed.

The Vice President, Scotus Justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, gave her written approval.

“Beryl A. Howell has been selected to receive the 2023 American Inns of Court Professionalism Award for the DC Circuit. Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit will present the award during the DC Circuit Judicial Conference.

Chief Judge James E. Boasberg, who nominated Howell for the award, praised Howell’s leadership as chief judge in a term marked by several unexpected events. “Judge Howell’s leadership during the pandemic was extraordinary,” he writes. Howell also “deftly led the court during the surge of more than 1,000 criminal cases filed in this district arising out of the investigation into the attack on the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021.”

“Judge Howell is a brilliant and wise attorney and jurist, as well as an outstanding leader, which has been evident to me since our earliest days working together on the Sentencing Commission,” writes Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson of the Supreme Court of the United States, who wrote in support of Howell’s nomination.”

Supreme Court Justice John Roberts Jr. received a Masters of the Bench award from the American Inn of Courts sister org in the UK. It’s called The Honorable Society Of the Middle Temple. (See photo and first link.)

And Middle Temple does interact with its American counterparts. I’ll show you next post.

Also Soros Open Society does fund fellows at Middle Temple. (See second photo and link.)

Middle Temple, the American Inns of Courts UK counterpart has been to the US.

After visiting the court chambers they had a reception at the British embassy. Later, the American Inn of Courts had moderated panels.

They spent two days at the Institute Of Peace, a radical leftist activist org, paid for by our tax dollars.

I have no idea if there’s any linkage of them to each other since I couldn’t find anything. But they are highly secretive. This would be extremely beneficial to find out.

“In the evening of the 13 September, we went to the Supreme Court for the Calling to the Bench of Justice Neil Gorsuch, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Before the official part of the occasion, I was escorted into the splendid Chambers of John G Roberts Jr, the Chief Justice of the United States (one of our Honorary Benchers).

There I met Justice Gorsuch for the first time. I was immediately struck by his warmth, informality and friendliness. This may be something of a surprise to those who focus only on the rather austere conservatism of his jurisprudence.

The three of us were then escorted into the magnificent courtroom where our group and others were already assembled. Short speeches of welcome were made by the Chief Justice and myself. Justice Gorsuch was then Called to the Bench by Master Maura McGowan. After a gracious and amusing response by Justice Gorsuch, we moved to the East and West Conference Rooms for a reception and then went into the Hall for dinner.

On the 14 September and 15 September, we had two full days of discussions with American counterparts at the US Institute of Peace, a splendid modern conference venue.

The topics on the first day were Human Rights in the Age of Terrorism (UK moderator Master Chantal-Aimee Doerries, UK speaker Master Neil Garnham, UK Panellists Master Judith Farbey and Master McGowan); Restrictions on Media Communications in the Interests of Truth or Privacy (UK moderator Master Christopher Clarke, UK speaker Adam Speker, UK panellists Master Anthony Smith and John Stables); and Attorney-Client Privilege (UK speaker Master Robert-Jan Temmink, UK panellists Master Stephen Stewart and Master George Leggatt).”

“At the end of the first day of the conference, we were treated to a magnificent reception at the British Embassy generously hosted by the UK Ambassador, Sir Kim Darroch. Sir Kim had spent the day visiting Florida following the recent floods. But he was back in time for our reception and made a warm and witty speech.
Other guests included many of the great and good of the political and legal world of Washington.

The topics on the second day were International and Comparative Law as an Appropriate Topic for Courts (UK speaker Master Jonathan Mance, UK panellists Master Fergus Randolph and Master Jeffrey Golden); and Climate Change and the Law (UK moderator Master Edward Faulks and UK speaker Master Robert Camwath).

The US moderators, speakers and panellists were an extraordinarily distinguished group of lawyers and academics. They contributed to lively and stimulating discussions on each of the topics as did all of our participants. I have not named the US participants simply because they will not be known to the readers of The Middle Templar.”

This is The Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court meeting that I found out the most on. And I only found three total.

“The Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court holds monthly programs on a range of relevant topics for Inn members, who are both white-collar defense lawyers and prosecutors, and including D.C. federal trial and appellate judges.”

“Joel Sickler – invited panelist at EBW Inn of Court (February15, 2024, Washington DC). The meeting held in the District of Columbia Court of Judge Amit Mehta. In addition to panelists, approximately 150 lawyers including several Federal District Judges were also present. The panel was presented primarily with Michael Horowitz, DOJ Inspector General and Seth Eichenholtz, Deputy Assistant Attorney General – also featuring Vanessa Rojas, a returning citizen with direct and learned perspective regarding constructive reforms within the Bureau of Prisons.”

“Moderators: Seth Rosenthal; Addy Schmitt – Participants: Seth Eichenholtz; Michael Horowitz; Vanesa Rojas; Joel Sickler – (Left to Right): Michael E. Horowitz, Inspector General DOJ; Addy Schmitt, Managing Partner Harris, St. Laurent & Wechsler LLP; Joel Sickler, Founder of Justice Advocacy Group LLC; Vanesa Rojas, Formerly Incarcerated Rising Scholar, Palomar College; Seth Eichenholtz, Senior Counsel to Deputy Attorney General at DOJ; and Seth Rosenthal, Chief Deputy Attorney General for Office of AG District of Columbia.”

This here is from a EBW Inn of Court panel discussion from three years ago. The DOJ was here that day too.

Matthew works at Accenture which had a US contract cancelled by Doge. Accenture deals with Publicis Group, and utilizes DEI and sustainability.

The (Publicis) Groupe took part in the launch of the World Economic Forum, GARM (Global Alliance for Responsible Media). Which was costing Elon ad revenue.

Publicis also handles WEF lodging etc type of stuff for its Davos meeting. And Publicis is partnered with Newsguard.

Mathew Bester:

“I really enjoyed talking about the latest DOJ developments last week on a great panel.”

Brent Gurney:

“It was a pleasure to co-host the EBW Inn of Court panel discussion on criminal prosecutions of what are sometimes called “no-poach” agreements for violations of the antitrust laws. In 2016, the Department of Justice warned that it would begin bringing criminal prosecutions. And then, after a wait of several years, it started doing just that. A number of cases are pending. I want to thank my co-hosts, Erin K. of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Lisa Phelan of Morrison & Foerster LLP, Inn member G. Zachary Terwilliger of Vinson & Elkins and our guest panelists Jim Fredricks of the DOJ Antitrust Division, Tiffany Rider of Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP and Matthew Bester of Accenture, for a robust and fascinating discussion of the issues.”

Here’s the last and third meeting that I have from many years of monthly meetings. If you find some more members or especially meeting minutes, message me.

Rebecca Broady:

“Thanks to Laurel Loomis Rimon, Keisha N. Stanford and Jenner & Block for hosting our EBW Inn of Court End of Year event! After a year of serving as the Inn “administrator” and sending out SO MANY emails, it was fun to be able to kick back and schmooze!”

https://archive.is/E8ILg


Now it’s time for my thoughts on this. We are looking at SCOTUS involvement, DC district courts, DOJ, and prosecutors.

These courts affect our entire country. This isn’t like some rinky dink branch in a Florida suburb.

I don’t think these high courts should be involved in anything secret. The stench of enablement is overwhelming. Especially when you have leftists fighting everything Trump as their Officers.

I think the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court should be disbanded. And all DC justices barred from such activities.


PS, go to the American Inns of Court site and search for the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court in their little search box. Its group number is 30072, I’ll wait.

Trust me, I was even in their archives and for many subdomains too.

(They’ll probably add it back if they aren’t totally crazy.)

Anyways I’ll even provide the link. 🦁 💪🏻

March 20, 2025 – The daughter of anti-DOGE Judge Beryl Howell works for British nonprofit belonging to a USAID-funded group

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

A Tale of Two Standards

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

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

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

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

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

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

Multiple Discrepant Filings Show Pattern, Not Mistake

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Merritts faces charges of wire fraud.

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

Merritts supposedly accepted $20,000 in payments:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Credit: Lawfare/substack)

The Law Firms that Run DC

I see a lot of articles saying how President Trump is attacking law firms in Washington DC because he is vindictive. When in fact, it has nothing to do with being vindictive, and everything to do with the fact that they are acting like an extension of the Democratic Party.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Warnings were ignored.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

March 25, 2025 – 1500+ “Zombie Programs”, over 8% of federal budget spending at $516 billion, is unauthorized

(Credit: Survive The News graphic)

In 1974, Congress created the Legal Services Corporation to connect lower-income Americans involved in civil disputes with free legal help. The law that established the agency stipulated that authorization for its funding would expire in 1980, when lawmakers were required to vote on whether to keep it alive.

They never did. Still, Congress has funded LSC every year since. In fiscal 2025, its 51st year, LSC’s 135 employees will spend 95% of its now $560 million annual budget paying legal groups to represent Americans in cases such as eviction, domestic violence, and disputes over government benefits, according to Ron Flagg, the agency’s president since 2020.

“LSC would welcome reauthorization,” Flagg said. “We haven’t hidden from it. Every budget cycle, we go through an exhaustive process before Congress appropriates funds — dozens of meetings with leaders of both parties. We demonstrate our return on investment, how we help 2 million Americans get life-saving legal help.”

The Legal Services Corp. now stands as America’s oldest “Zombie” program, but it’s far from unique. At a time when the Trump administration is moving aggressively to scale back government, including eliminating the entire Education Department, it’s sobering to note that 1,503 agencies or programs live on despite expired authorizations, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Another 155 will expire on Sept. 30. The Zombies, nearly half of which have been officially dead for more than a decade, persist in a budgetary netherworld. In a deep dive last year, CBO analysts were able to find dollar amounts for 491 of the programs, with total expenditures of $516 billion. They don’t know how much funding the other programs received.

The total federal budget in 2024 was $6.8 trillion, meaning expired Zombie programs take up at least 8% of the budget, and likely much more.

“A lot of programs don’t get reauthorized because Congress is okay with how they’re operating,” said Josh Huder, former congressional staffer now at the Georgetown University Government Affairs Institute. “They continue to get annual appropriations because most members think they’re worthwhile.”

Many Zombie programs now soak up far more funding than lawmakers originally envisioned. The Federal Election Commission, for example, was expected to spend $9.4 million per year before its authorization expired in 1981. Yet the agency continued to receive funding and spent $95 million in 2024, auditors at government watchdog Open The Books found. The Federal Communications Commission was originally allocated $339.6 million per year. Its funding authorization expired in 2020, yet it spent $28.4 billion last year.

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency hasn’t addressed the Zombies that are prowling the federal spreadsheets. Given DOGE’s headlong push to first root out alleged waste, fraud, and abuse and ask questions later, experts say, Zombies may offer a ripe target.

“One could imagine that if DOGE is clued into the notion of expired authorizations, they’ll think a program is defunct,” said Sarah Binder, senior fellow at Brookings and professor of political science at George Washington University. She said this would be a mistake. “If Congress is still appropriating money to the programs, they’re not Zombies. They’re living, breathing agencies.”

Binder says the fault lies not with the agencies, some of which have become important enough to be household names, but Congress. Lawmakers have made it so difficult to accomplish their most fundamental tasks, such as funding the government for another year, that they hardly ever get around to doing other important things, such as reauthorizing existing programs.

The Foreign Relations Authorization Act, for example, expired in 2003. Yet in 2024, Congress spent $38.4 billion on 24 of the law’s programs, allowing legislators to influence the White House’s foreign policy and security assistance to other nations.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce, now led by Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY), supported the funding of 346 expired programs, more than any other committee, the CBO found. The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, now chaired by Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), spent more identifiable money than any other group: $153.5 billion.

March 26, 2025 – Deputy National Security Advisor Alex Wong is at the center of the Signalgate scandal…his wife was a J6 prosecutor

Alex Wong was an attorney at Covington & Burling, a law firm that recently had their security clearance revoked by Trump.

Alex Wong, the Chinese Deputy National Security Advisor appointed by President Trump, who is at the center of the Signalgate scandal, is married to U.S. Attorney Candice Chiu Wong, a Chinese Woman who was one of the key attorneys involved in PROSECUTING J6ers.‼️

Alex Wong was appointed by President Trump on 11/22/24 to serve as the Assistant to the President and the Principal Deputy National Security Advisor under @MikeWaltz47 Mike Waltz, the newly appointed US National Security Advisor.

I have discovered that Alex’s wife, Candice Chiu Wong, worked under the Obama administration and the Biden administration as an Assistant United States Attorney in the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, where she led the Violence Reduction and Trafficking Offenses Section for more than two years.

She was involved in the prosecution of many J6ers during the Biden regime, under which she was nominated to become a Member of the United States Sentencing Commission. Additionally, Candice Chiu Wong served as a Law Clerk to Obama-appointed US Supreme Court Justice Sonia M. Sotomayor!

Making matters worse, Alex Wong worked for Covington & Burling @CovingtonLLP, which is one of the law firms that President recently stripped of its security clearance and terminated all of their government contracts via Executive Order on February 25th, 2025. Trump accused @CovingtonLLP of being involved in the weaponization of government.

Why do we have a CHINESE Deputy National Security advisor who is married to a CHINESE US ATTORNEY who worked under Obama and Biden, and who helped prosecute J6ers after the stolen 2020 election?

This is unacceptable. And given the Chinese connections, it really makes you wonder if @JeffreyGoldberg, the reporter from the @TheAtlantic was added to the Trump Signal chat on purpose as part of a foreign opp to embarrass the Trump administration on behalf of China.

Alex Wong should be removed from his position, and both he and his wife should be investigated by the FBI @Kash_Patel @FBIDDBongino.

Cc: @realDonaldTrump @JDVance

Additionally, Alex Wong served as the foreign and legal policy director for the Mitt Romney presidential campaign in 2012. Via that position, Wong was the campaign’s chief official responsible for developing foreign, defense, intelligence, judicial, and law enforcement policy and closely advising @MittRomney on these matters.

Alex Wong and his then boss Lanhee Chen @lanheechen are the two individuals who pushed Richard Grenell @RichardGrenell out of the Romney campaign for being gay.

Wong and Chen argued that gays can’t be conservative.

Chen was the policy director for the 2012 Mitt Romney presidential campaign and Romney’s Chief Policy Advisor. Chen has been described as the leader behind the Romney 2012 campaign.

Chen went on to serve in the Obama and Biden administrations.

March 26, 2025 – An example of Judge Boasberg’s two-tiered justice system: Protect Hillary Clinton vs Get Trump




From The Washington Times:

Two watchdog groups, Judicial Watch and Cause of Action, had sued in 2015 demanding the government recover all of Mrs. Clinton’s emails, saying she violated open-records laws by not preserving her messages.

👉 U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg, though, said the FBI did what it could, and did manage to recover thousands of messages Mrs. Clinton didn’t return herself.

“Those efforts went well beyond the mine-run search for missing federal records … and were largely successful, save for some emails sent during a two-month stretch. Even then, the FBI pursued every imaginable avenue to recover the missing emails,” wrote Judge Boasberg, an Obama appointee to the court.

❕Originally, the case had been dismissed as moot, but last year the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia reversed that finding, ordering the government to “shake loose a few more emails.”

👉 But Judge Boasberg put an end to the shaking Thursday.

“The Court of Appeals may have asked the Government to ’shak[e] the tree harder’ for more emails, but it never suggested that the FBI must shake every tree in every forest, without knowing whether they are fruit trees,” he wrote.

The judge said the FBI had already uncovered 55,000 pages of emails when it was ordered to do more. The agency interviewed people that most frequently exchanged work related emails with Mrs.

(Timeline editor’s note: Be sure to check Boasberg’s timeline tag below to read more about his lawless justice for the past several years.)

March 26, 2025 – Former CIA director, Michael Hayden, who recently lost his security clearance, sits on board of company neck-deep in NSA tech contracts

3 parts – How the DC Swamp is Undermining @DOGE and Crushing the Will of We the People🚨

Last night, while digging into some research, I stumbled upon a chilling pattern: key contracts are vanishing from the government spending database. I found several cases, but one stands out as critical—it’s tied to Michael Hayden, ex-CIA director and one of the 51 intel officials behind the Hunter Biden laptop letter. Hayden sits on the board of Freedom Technology Solution Group LLC (FTSG), a company neck-deep in NSA tech contracts.



The pattern you’ve uncovered isn’t just alarming—it’s a textbook example of the bureaucratic rot that thrives when accountability vanishes. Michael Hayden’s ties to FTSG and its NSA contracts spotlight the revolving door between intelligence elites and contractors who profit from taxpayer-funded deals. This isn’t an isolated case. The Drain the Intelligence Community Swamp Act of 2025 (H.R. 80) directly targets Hayden and 50 others who weaponized their security clearances to manipulate narratives like the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. Their actions didn’t just mislead the public—they eroded trust in institutions meant to serve Americans, not insiders.

While H.R. 80 revokes their clearances, the deeper issue is systemic: opaque contracting, unchecked influence, and agencies prioritizing self-preservation over transparency. Real reform means dismantling these networks, auditing every dollar funneled to contractors with ties to retired officials, and ensuring public databases aren’t scrubbed to hide malfeasance. The swamp isn’t just stagnant—it’s actively sabotaging efforts to restore accountability. Until every backroom deal faces sunlight, the cycle continues.

Exposing corruption moves at the speed of sunlight—every contract audit, clearance revocation, and database leak accelerates accountability. Look at the Pentagon’s recent $1.2 billion cloud-computing deal with a contractor linked to retired NSA officials—vanished from public records after scrutiny.

Real dismantling starts with mandatory 10-year cooling-off periods for officials joining contractors, real-time spending trackers immune to bureaucratic scrubbing, and lifetime bans for those caught manipulating databases.

The swamp fights dirty, but sustained pressure collapses their schemes faster than they can rebuild them.

Blockchain’s immutable ledger would expose every dollar’s path, eliminating the bureaucratic black holes where fraud thrives. Take the $600 million in pandemic unemployment funds stolen through fake claims in one state alone—phantom recipients, duplicate payments, and shell companies drained taxpayer cash while outdated systems failed to flag it.

With blockchain, each transaction’s origin, destination, and purpose is permanently stamped and publicly traceable, making phantom contracts and vanished deals impossible to hide. Mandate real-time blockchain logging for all federal spending, pair it with AI-driven anomaly detection, and watch the swamp’s favorite scams evaporate.

No more disappearing acts—just accountability.

Accelerating blockchain adoption starts with exposing real-time failures. Take a Midwestern city’s $50 million “smart grid” upgrade—contractors billed for nonexistent sensors while officials rubber-stamped phantom invoices. Blockchain’s traceability would’ve flagged the fraud instantly.

Push Congress to mandate blockchain integration in all municipal and federal contracts, enforce real-time public dashboards, and jailtime for database tampering. Delay equals theft—sunlight kills scams faster than any audit.

March 26, 2025 – Ukrainian Nazi fighters from Azov regiment are sentenced in Russian military court

Over two dozen Azov members Moscow-designated ‘terrorists’ stood in court behind the plexiglass for sentencing. (Credit: public domain)

It’s a demented feature of our days that if you stand to the right of Che Guevara in the political specter, automatically all the Liberal-Globalists in a choir will call you ‘a literal Nazi’, but when confronted with the real-life, present-day, self-identifying Ukrainian Nazis from the Azov Regiment and other groups like the Right Sector, these same groups in the western societies will stay dead silent.

If today the USAID-media is willing to whitewash and even lionize these radicals, it wasn’t always like that: in 2014, The Guardian described Azov as a battalion with far-right, neo-Nazi leanings, openly expressing admiration for Hitler and displaying swastika tattoos, while Time highlighted its neo-Nazi symbols like the “black sun” and “wolf’s hook,” and its appeal to far-right volunteers from Europe and the U.S.

Also in 2014, The Daily Telegraph called Azov a neo-Nazi force, and The Washington Post noted that Azov’s far-right volunteers included foreign neo-Nazis.

(…) Yesterday (26), as over two dozen Nazi extremists, Moscow-designated ‘terrorists’ stood in court behind the plexiglass for sentencing, MSM called them Azov Fighters, Ukrainian fighters, Captured Ukrainians, Ukrainian POWs…

The Russian military court yesterday handed down long prison sentences to 23 Azov members.

Reuters reported:

“The defendants, charged with terrorist activity and with violently seizing or retaining power, were sentenced to between 13 and 23 years in prison, Russian state media reported.”

Ukraine’s human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets: “‘Ukrainian prisoners of war are combatants, not criminals! They were fulfilling their duty to the state, protecting its territorial integrity and sovereignty’, he said.”

The Reuters report uncritically states that Kiev says Azov was ‘reformed away from its radical nationalist origins and is now apolitical’ – which if you have been following the war, you know it’s not an accurate description.

In the devastated ruins of Mariupol, they bravely defended against the Russia siege between February and May 2022, after which 2,500 eventually surrendered, ‘emerging from their refuge in a vast network of bunkers tunnels beneath the city’s Azovstal steelworks’.
Russian courts have so far reportedly convicted 145 Azov members.

(…) Sputnik reported:

“In 2022, Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office confirmed Azov’s use of banned warfare methods, including killing, rape and torture of civilians and child killings.

In May 2014, Azov executed Mariupol police officers who refused to disperse protestors opposing the February 2014 coup in Kiev, then opened fire on a peaceful demonstration.”

On Friday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” Breitbart News Senior Contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer discussed the origins of lawfare.

Schweizer stated, “The whole concept of lawfare was we’re going to go after terrorists, we’re going to try to tie up their assets overseas, we’re going to try to sue companies that they’re connected with, we’re going to harass them through the legal system. And the problem is, under Barack Obama and his National Security Division of the Justice Department, they decided, hey, w e can use this against al-Qaeda, why can’t we use this against our domestic political opponents in the United States? So, it’s morphed into this thing that has become domestic lawfare.” (Breitbart TV, 3/28/2025)  (Archive)

March 28, 2025 – Loomer exposes more globalist connections to Trump’s NSC; Vetting failures

TRUMP ADMIN VETTING FAILURE AT NSC EXPOSED🚨

How Donald Trump @POTUS continues to be undermined & put at risk due to a lack of vetting in his administration.

Want to see another vetting failure at the NSC which further exposes the way people with close proximity to Trump haters have been elevated to national security and intel roles in the Trump admin, despite a documented history of unethical behavior and associations?

Meet Ivan Kanapathy.

2 months ago, Ivan was selected to work under NSC Director @MikeWaltz47 as the NSC Director for Asia, where he is responsible for crafting the Trump administration’s approach to China and Taiwan. This is a top position at NSC, with direct proximity to President Trump.

Where was Kanapathy before he started working at NSC? Well, 2 months ago, he worked with former CIA officials and Democrat Trump haters Mike Morrell and Leon Panetta at Beacon Global Strategies where Kanapathy was the Senior Vice President of Beacon Global Strategies.

If those names Morell and Panetta sound familiar, it’s because they are 2 of the 51 spies who lied in an infamous intel letter in October 2020 where they, and 49 other US intel officials, falsely and deceptively penned a letter in which they said Hunter Biden’s laptop was a “Russian disinformation operation.”

We now know they all lied about the laptop, which is VERY REAL and was introduced as evidence in Hunter’s own trial, which is why President Trump has since stripped all 51 of those intel individuals of their security clearances.

Ivan Kanapathy was the Senior Vice President of Beacon Global Strategies up until 2 months ago, when he accepted the role at NSC.

It doesn’t reflect well on Ivan’s judgement or his loyalty to President Trump in that he was comfortable employing Panetta and Morell at Beacon Global Strategies as Senior Counselors, where they still work, all while knowing they signed their names to that treasonous letter.

We have all known for years now that those 51 intel agents deliberately lied in a coordinated effort with the Biden campaign to run cover for Joe Biden’s son @HunterBiden to discredit reports about Hunter Biden’s laptop, which contained evidence of illicit and criminal activities that implicated Joe Biden as he was running for President against Donald Trump.

In an October 18, 2020 email, Michael Morell asked his fellow spy buddies, including former CIA Directors John Brennan, Leon Panetta and Mike Hayden, to sign the letter, explaining that he and former CIA agent Marc Polymeropoulos had “drafted the attached because we believe the Russians were involved in some way in the Hunter Biden email issue and because we think Trump will attack Biden on the issue at this week’s debate and we want to give the VP a talking point to use in response.”

Morell was the ring leader of the letter that the 51 agents signed to undermine Donald Trump. While he organized the letter, Morell was also on CIA payroll. In his emails, he said the purpose of the letter was to give Joe Biden a “talking point” ahead of a 2020 Presidential debate against then-President Donald Trump.

Even while knowing this, Ivan Kanapathy continued to allow Morell and Panetta to work at Beacon Global Strategies. As the Senior Vice President of BGS, surely Ivan Kanapathy had an executive level role. Why would someone want to work with @BarackObama’s CIA Directors, who have a documented record of lying for Dems?

How on earth did a colleague of Michael Morell & Leon Panetta get cleared through vetting to work at the  National Security Council (NSC)?

The NSC is used by POTUS for consideration of national security, military, and foreign policy matters. Based in the White House, it is part of the Executive Office of the President of the United States, & composed of senior national security advisors & Cabinet officials.

This is a VETTING FAILURE. Is @IvanKanapathy still in touch with his colleagues Mike Morell & Leon Panetta?
RECEIPTS 👇🏻

Up until 2 months ago, Ivan Kanapathy was the Senior Vice President of Beacon Global Strategies. Jeremy Bash is the current Managing Director of Beacon Global Strategies. Kanapathy and Bash worked together. Now, Kanapathy is in a top level position under @MikeWaltz47 at the NSC, despite working alongside treasonous intel officials who broke their code of professional ethics by using their security clearances to fabricate a story about Hunter Biden’s laptop to interfere in the 2020 election as a way to help Joe Biden.

Why would Kanapathy willingly work alongside these intel officials all while everyone was aware for YEARS of their inappropriate conduct and abuse of power?

This is why many of Kanapathy’s colleagues at Beacon Global Strategies had their security clearances revoked by President @realDonaldTrump!

Bash was the chief of staff at the Central Intelligence Agency (2009–2011) and the U.S. Department of Defense (2011–2013) under Barack Obama. He worked as a senior advisor to Leon Panetta in both roles. His security clearance was also stripped by President Trump, as one of the 51 intel agents who signed the 2020 letter, declaring Hunter Biden’s laptop as “Russian disinformation” as a CIA plot to help Joe Biden defeat Donald Trump during the Presidential debate when Hunter Biden’s laptop scandal erupted during the 2020 Presidential campaign.

At least four of the letter’s signatories, former deputy CIA director Michael Morell, former CIA senior Inspector General David Buckley, CIA official Jeremy Bash and former National Security Agency official Richard Ledgett were active CIA contractors at the time
they signed the letter.

Jeremy Bash is the ex husband of CNN anchor @DanaBashCNN.

How the hell did Ivan Kanapathy get through vetting???

He was working with Jeremy Bash, Mike Morell and Leon Panetta just 2 months ago!

Now he’s at NSC with access to President Trump and sensitive information.

Vetting crisis!

Both Micahel Morell and Leon Panetta worked as CIA Directors under the Obama administration.

They now work for Beacon Global Strategies as SENIOR COUNSELORS.

Up until 2 months ago, Ivan Kanapathy was the SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF BEACON GLOBAL STRATEGIES where he worked with the SPIES WHO LIED, who have since had their security clearances REVOKED by the Trump admin.

How did their colleague get placed in charge of China policy as the Asia Director at NSC?

There is a vetting crisis in the @realDonaldTrump admin.

This NSC appointment reeks of the same swamp creatures Trump’s administration has fought to drain. Kanapathy’s ties to Morell and Panetta—architects of the Hunter Biden laptop disinformation campaign—highlight a glaring vetting gap. The Drain the Intelligence Community Swamp Act of 2025 (H.R. 80) already stripped security clearances from these 51 spies for weaponizing intelligence against a sitting president. Yet their protégé lands a top NSC role? Bureaucratic rot runs deep.

While Trump cleans house, holdovers from the deep state’s influence-peddling network cling to power. Every compromised appointment undermines America First priorities—especially on China policy, where strategic clarity is nonnegotiable.

Time to audit every security clearance and purge every Obama-era operative still embedded in the system.

Sen Chris Murphy’s interactions with both Indivisible and MoveOn are everywhere! I’ll just show a couple.

Here’s a transcript where he tells folks to join both.

“Right now, joining groups like Indivisible and Move On, calling, showing up — all of that matters. Volume matters.”

Sen Chris Murphy’s interactions with Serbian Otpor utilizing, Indivisible are everywhere. He even goes to their meetings. “Indivisible Greenwich will meet on Sunday, Sept. 10 at 7 p.m., at Eastern Middle School, 51 Hendrie Ave, Riverside. Doors will open at 6:45 p.m. Senator Chris Murphy and Representative Jim Himes will speak to the group.” archive.is/dkcEf


Democrat Rep Chris Murphy joined John McCain on a stage at Kiev in 2013 to support the Maidan uprising protestors.

Along with Right Sector, the leadership of the far-right Svoboda Party assumed a prominent role at the Maidan, dubbing the protests a “Revolution of Dignity.” Svoboda co-founder Oleh Tyahnybok who had once demanded an investigation of the “Jewish-Muscovite mafia” that he saw controlling Ukraine — appeared on stage at the square beside U.S. Senators John McCain and Chris Murphy when they arrived to encourage the protesters.

The Svoboda Party was originally called the Social-National Party of Ukraine, a Ukrainian political party with long history of anti-Semitism.

“Led by Oleh Tyahnybok, Svoboda played a prominent role in the 2013-2014 Maidan uprising, where Tyahnybok shared the stage with U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Chris Murphy (D-CT). Andriy Parubiy, who had co-founded the Social-National Party of Ukraine, is now Speaker of Parliament.”



Just for a refresher, Paul Engler was a writer of the Trump resistance manual. Utilized by MoveOn and Indivisible etc.

They didn’t just talk to Otpor Ivan Marovic, they trained with him too:

Paul/Mark Engler’s: This is an Uprising

“As fate would have it, we quickly met some guys with profound insights into these very questions. They had started a movement of their own in Serbia, called Otpor. It had successfully created multiple “moments of whirlwinds,” and in 2000 it ended up playing a key role in overthrowing Slobodan Milosevic—a dictator known as the Butcher of the Balkans. The Serbians had also studied Gandhi and Gene Sharp, and they did an amazing job synthesizing and drawing out relevant concepts. Moreover, they had guided 40,000 of their members through weeklong trainings in the principles and laws of this new type of movement-building. Subsequently, I went to many trainings with Ivan Marovic, one of the founders of Otpor, and he became my strategic mentor. At that point, I was inspired to start translating some of these lessons into a US context.

After Occupy Wall street, my life and work took another turn as  became interested in partnering with me to find the best ways to bring this organizing model to US activists. Carlos had been a disciple of Marshall Ganz, who devised the system of training tens of thousands of volunteers for the Obama campaign in 2008. For his part, Carlos had trained thousands of undocumented DREAM Act students in the principles of traditional community organizing. He possessed an uncanny talent for grappling with complex ideas, making our thinking more rigorous, and figuring out how to make these ideas relatable. With the support of a new team of talented young organizers that we call the “Momentum Training Institute,” Carlos and I started taking our ideas and making them more simple, clear, and accessible. “

March 30, 2025 – TeslaTakedown: The 24 Democrat organizations behind the terrorist campaign against Tesla

Hello @ElonMusk and Friends,

You asked who is funding and organizing the #TeslaTakedown protests. I’ve got answers for you, after going onto the streets of northern Virginia for the local protests here, seeing familiar faces from the Virginia Democratic political machine and then following the money — and the data.

AstroTurf Protest Industry

To your question, at latest count, as of 3/30, 5:30 AM:

🔴24 organizations and counting are funding and organizing the #TeslaTakedown protests and leading the very partisan propaganda campaign against Tesla, Tesla drivers, Tesla employees, Donald Trump and you. See below to see all 24 groups with their revenues, involvement, tax ID numbers and other info.

🔴These organizations have combined annual revenues of at least $124 MILLION and counting.

🔴 100% of the groups are aligned with the Democratic Party. At the protest on 3/29 at Tyco Road, in Tysons, Va., a photo I took of a “Virginia Democrats” sign in front of the Tesla dealership.

🔴 Most of these groups enjoy tax-deductible status as 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations, claiming they are “nonpartisan.” A few have PACs. The organizations have not returned requests for comment.

Database
🔴 You can see the raw data on 306 #TeslaTakedown protests in the database here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13MOGhdMPc-_lGGdEGkS0QVSayczGG7Z5rlk_LUxdCTk/edit?usp=sharing

Back story
I’m a former Wall Street Journal reporter and a propaganda expert and editor of the @DPearlProject, a journalism nonprofit named for my WSJ colleague and friend Daniel Pearl. Since Oct. 7th, I have been reporting on the anti-Jew, anti-America, anti-Israel protests and building a database, following the money. It numbers 2,000 groups now, and I am working on a web and mobile app for parents, policymakers, university administrators, law enforcement, the public and others.

I went to the #TeslaTakedown protest a week ago Saturday on Tyco Road at the Tysons, Va., and saw familiar faces from Indivisible and the Fairfax County Democratic Party, shouting for you to be deported as they stood outside the Tesla dealership. I wondered too who is organizing and funding the protests nationwide.

I got the protest details scraped from ActionNetwork and Mobilize, the two platforms aligned with the Democratic Party promoting the #TeslaTakedown protests, and built a public database of the groups behind the Tesla protest.

AstroTurf, not “grassroots”

🔴 In an article for the @FairfaxTimes, I wrote about how the local protests in Tysons, are a window into how the protests are AstroTurf, not “grassroots.” What this case reveals is the way that a multi-million dollar professional protest industry manufactures outrage in top-down political theater, agitprop, or agitation propaganda, and now criminal offenses. Here is the article: https://fairfaxtimes.com/articles/local-teslatakedown-reveals-grassroots-protests-are-astroturf/article_1c368d4d-708c-4074-b5fa-5eaf6a32ea97.html

🔴 Next step: I just got data on the April 5 #HandsOff protests and will be adding that data to the database. In addition, I am completing an analysis of the propaganda using the tools of natural language processing and content analysis.

Why is this important to report on? Because defending principles of free enterprise and individual liberty in the U.S. means allowing people to buy whatever make of car they wish without fear of danger or harassment and allowing companies to do business without fear of danger or harassment.

All, please let me know if you have any questions, ideas or recommendations.

March 30, 2025 – Elon Musk confirms widespread voter fraud as 5.5 million non-citizens have access to Social Security, Medicaid, and the ballot box (VIDEO)

Billionaire entrepreneur and Trump advisor Elon Musk dropped a bombshell this weekend during a fiery 100-minute town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he campaigned for conservative judge Brad Schimel in the state’s upcoming Supreme Court election on Tuesday.

Joined by Antonio Gracias, a private equity titan and a key member of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team tasked with rooting out waste in the federal government, Musk unveiled a shocking chart: a dramatic spike in Social Security Numbers issued to non-citizens, soaring from 270,000 in 2021 to a mind-blowing 2.1 million in 2024.

That’s almost 5 million non-citizens now embedded in the system—collecting benefits, draining taxpayer dollars, and, most alarmingly, infiltrating the voter rolls.

“This is a mind-blowing chart,” Musk declared, pointing to the data. “This wasn’t an accident. This was a massive, large-scale program under the Biden administration to import as many illegals as possible—ultimately to change the voting map of the United States, disenfranchise the American people, and lock in a permanent deep-blue, one-party state from which there’d be no escape.”

Gracias, founder of Valor Equity Partners and a self-described son of legal immigrants, echoed Musk’s outrage.

“We went to Social Security to find fraud, and we stumbled on this by accident,” he said.

“And this isn’t political, by the way. My parents are immigrants… My brother and sister all born in Spain. I’m pro-legal immigration. This is not political. This is about America and the future of America. And there are a lot of good people in the system that pointed this in this direction. I want to honor them right now. They’re working with the government today and took the risks to show us these numbers and tell us what’s going on.”

Gracias continued, “We found 1.3 million of them already on Medicaid as an example. On every benefit program we went through, we found groups from this particular group of people, 5.5 million people in those benefit programs. And then what was really, really disturbing us was why. We’re asking ourselves why. And so we actually just took a sample and looked at voter registration records, and we found people here registered to vote in this population.”

The evidence, according to Musk and Gracias, is undeniable. By sampling voter registration records, they uncovered non-citizens who not only registered but voted in American elections.

“We’ve referred them to prosecution at Homeland Security Investigations,” Gracias revealed. “That’s happening right now.”

But the scandal goes deeper than voter fraud. Gracias, who traveled from D.C. to Social Security offices and the southern border alongside Musk, painted a grim picture of a system rigged to incentivize illegal entry. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 3/31/2025)

March 30, 2025 – Jeffrey Goldberg tells Meet the Press he has met and spoken to Mike Waltz

Jeffrey Goldberg appearing on Meet the Press, says he has met and spoken to Mike Waltz and that Waltz’s ongoing denials to that end are “simply not true.”   Goldberg notes his phone number was in Waltz’s phone simply because his phone number was in Waltz’s phone.

According to Jeffrey Goldberg, despite Waltz’s numerous denials, the National Security Advisor and journalist do know each other.  WATCH:

(Conservative Treehouse, 3/30/2025)

March 31, 2025 – Elon Musk and his DOGE colleague Antonio Gracias show how illegal aliens get Social Security numbers and then scam America

When Elon Musk and his DOGE colleague Antonio Gracias showed a Wisconsin audience how non-citizens get Social Security Numbers (SSNs), their presentation painted the clearest picture yet of the long-term damage former President Joe Biden’s open border policy will have on the United States.

The total SSNs issued in 2021 was roughly 270,000; in 2022 it climbed to 590,000, and in 2023, there were 964,000 SSNs issued to new non-citizens. But in 2024 it more than doubled to over 2 million. This counts only non-citizens who got their SSNs through the Enumeration Beyond Entry program, a system where the Social Security Administration automatically issues SSNs and cards to certain foreign nationals in the U.S., as part of an agreement with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Get a High-Paying Job

With a work authorization card in their wallet, non-citizens can find legitimate work. Work at higher wages is the main reason people come to the U.S.,

Collect Social Security Benefits

Let’s say you are an American who started working at 16 and retired at 67. You’ve been paying into Social Security with every paycheck for 51 years. Non-citizens can draw Social Security after working 40 quarters — that is 10 years.

“Even if you’re here unlawfully, so long as you work for 40 quarters, which is 10 years, you’re eligible for Social Security benefits,” Arthur said.

It means millions of people will get full benefits without contributing decades of income to the fund.

You don’t have to be a math whiz to know that is not sustainable.

Social Security Numbers are Forever

Social Security Numbers don’t expire; once a non-citizen has one, they keep it, no matter where life takes them.

“You now have a population of a million or more who have valid Social Security Numbers, who will be able to work, albeit illegally, in the United States forever,” Arthur said. “Even if Trump took away all of their statuses tomorrow and all their work authorization, they could still work because an employer can’t ask to look at your employment authorization document. The employer can only ask for certain documents, and the two most common are driver’s licenses and Social Security cards.”

Benefits For Babies

President Donald Trump aims to end birthright citizenship. Under Biden and for years before his term, babies born on U.S. soil to illegally present parents have been granted citizenship, and the SNAP food benefits, free healthcare, free education, and other free services that go to citizens in need (and in some cases non-citizens from certain countries and circumstances.)

Vote

Only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections. But a Social Security Number provides the opportunity for fraud. Many states let voters register via mail by providing either a driver’s license number or a the last four digits of their SSN. A non-citizen could use their SSN to register, then vote absentee. County election workers who check the SSN against the database of numbers would find the number valid, with no clue it is a non-citizen.

April 1, 2025 – Dem Congressman Jamie Raskin demands Trump ‘return’ deported illegal gang members to U.S.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, is demanding that President Donald Trump fly hundreds of suspected gang members, deported to El Salvador last month, back to the United States.

“I call on my colleagues … to demand that the Trump Administration comply with all judicial orders while appealing whichever ones they want to appeal, and to demand the return of people unlawfully taken to El Salvador on that so-called plane full of ‘gang bangers,’” Raskin said at a hearing on Tuesday.

Raskin was referring to two planeloads of suspected illegal alien gang members associated with Tren de Aragua and MS-13 that were deported to San Salvador, El Salvador, under a deal between Trump and President Nayib Bukele to house such illegals in the country’s mega-prison.

Judge James Boasberg, whom many Republicans now want to impeach, issued a temporary restraining order stopping Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport more gang members.

The Trump administration is pleading with the Supreme Court to allow the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to resume such deportations.

During the hearing, Raskin called the deportation of suspected gang members a “blatant violation of American due process and all of our constitutional values.” (Read more: Breitbart, 4/1/2025)  (Archive)

April 1, 2025 – Gingrich says Federal District judges aren’t just tying up Trump but the Executive Branch of government as well

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said on Fox Business Tuesday that he’s concerned about district judges shaping national policy, especially when they overrule decisions made by President Donald Trump.

During an appearance on “Kudlow,” Gingrich described this as a pivotal moment in U.S. history.

“There are already more of these [rulings] coming down the road than the Supreme Court has ever heard in a single term. I would hope that the Supreme Court Chief Justice [John Roberts] would intervene, indicate that there’s something clearly wrong here and that they’re going to follow a procedure so that the executive branch is not being dictated to by random individual district judges,” Gingrich told host Larry Kudlow.

 

Gingrich said the pattern of interference by district judges creates a constitutional crisis.

“You have, I think, the fifth large change after Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and FDR. And this is underway. And, of course, the old order is going to fight it every way it can,” Gingrich said. “And one of their last strongholds are these left-wing judges. And we have to make clear that that is illegitimate.”

Gingrich said that these “left-wing judges” are undermining the executive branch.

“You cannot have individual, random district judges who get up in the morning and say, ‘I think I’ll play president tonight, today.’ And some of their rulings are crazy,” Gingrich said.

Gingrich, a former speaker of the House, said he’s disappointed with a recent statement by Roberts.

“He put out a press release about 10 days ago lecturing President Trump and saying there’s an appeals process. That’s nonsense. If you are involved with crime, with violence, with national security, you can’t have some judge make rendered an injunction,” Gingrich said. “And then, six weeks, eight weeks, nine weeks from now, maybe it’ll get taken up.” (Read more:The Daily Caller, 4/1/2025) (Archive)


Gingrich also appeared before the House Judiciary Committee hearing today to talk about judicial overreach in lower federal courts where they are blocking President Trump’s actions.

April 1, 2025 – House Judiciary: New FBI chat logs reveal agency imposed “gag order” on NY Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop

April 3, 2025 – Chief Justice Roberts’ secret friendship with Norm Eisen is revealed…

(Credit: Revolver News)

(…) According to Norm Eisen—the man who practically wrote the Deep State’s playbook on color revolutions, all things anti-Trump, and lawfare in the US—he and Chief Justice John Roberts are not only good pals, but they even spent a week together in the Czech Republic. According to Norm, the two BFFs were there working on “American rule of law” issues.

Hmm…

Norm was so proud of this that he actually bragged about the trip and made it very clear that Roberts isn’t corrupt—he’s just a “close friend” who happened to fly overseas and stay at Eisen’s posh 150-room palace to collaborate on transatlantic political projects.

Really…

And no, that’s not just weird; it’s a massive conflict of interest and could also explain a lot.

As it stands now, Justice Roberts has no business presiding over any of the cases that Eisen and his army of lawfare activists are funneling through the courts, and we all know Norm is tied to so many of these weaponized cases. He should have been recusing himself from the get-go—and probably outright resigning—for the integrity of the court.

Mike Benz told the shocking full story on a recent podcast.

Watch:

Yes, Mike Benz amplified this bombshell story, but he made sure to credit the X account that first dug it up:

The Researcher:

Norm Eisen said his good friend Supreme Court Justice John Roberts was not corrupt and that John went to the Czech Republic for a week so that they could spend time working on American rule of law issues together.

John should resign or recuse himself from all of the lawsuit cases that Norm and his partners have filed that are working their way to the SC.

Talk about a conflict of interest.

We introduced our readers to the Deep State’s favorite color revolution architect five years ago.

Revolver:

In our report on Never Trump State Department official George Kent, Revolver News first drew attention to the ominous similarities between the strategies and tactics the United States government employs in so-called “Color Revolutions” and the coordinated efforts of government bureaucrats, NGOs, and the media to oust President Trump.

Our recent follow-up to this initial report focused specifically on a shadowy, George Soros-linked group called the Transition Integrity Project (TIP), which convened “war games” exercises suggesting the likelihood of a “contested election scenario” and of ensuing chaos should President Trump refuse to leave office. We further showed how these “contested election” scenarios we are hearing so much about play perfectly into the Color Revolution framework sketched out in Revolver News’ first installment in the Color Revolution series.

As the man who implemented the David Brock blueprint for suing the President into paralysis and his allies into bankruptcy, who helped mainstream and amplify the Russia Hoax, who drafted 10 articles of impeachment for the Democrats a full month before President Trump ever called the Ukraine President in 2018, who personally served as special counsel litigating the Ukraine impeachment, and who created a template for Internet censorship of world leaders and a handbook for mass mobilizing racial justice protesters to overturn democratic election results, there is perhaps no man alive with a more decorated resume for plots against President Trump.

Indeed, the story of Norm Eisen—a key architect of nearly every attempt to delegitimize, impeach, censor, sue, and remove the democratically elected 45th President of the United States—is a tale that winds through nearly every facet of the color revolution playbook. There is no purer embodiment of Revolver’s thesis that the very same regime change professionals who run Color Revolutions on behalf of the US government in order to undermine or overthrow alleged “authoritarian” governments overseas are running the very same playbook to overturn Trump’s 2016 victory and to preempt a repeat in 2020. To put it simply, what you see is not just the same Color Revolution playbook run against Trump, but the same people using it against Trump who have employed it in a professional capacity against targets overseas—same people, same playbook.

In Norm Eisen’s case, the “same people, same playbook” refrain takes an arrestingly literal turn when one realizes that Norm Eisen wrote a classic Color Revolution regime change manual and conveniently titled it “The Playbook.”

This third installment of Revolver News’ series exposing the Color Revolution against Trump will focus on one quiet and indeed mostly overlooked participant in the Transition Integrity Project’s biased election “war games” exercise—a man by the name of Norm Eisen.

In light of this latest news and connection between Eisen and Roberts, we encourage you to read this article:

Meet Norm Eisen: Legal Hatchet Man and Central Operative in the ‘Color Revolution’ Against President Trump

Most would agree: Roberts has to go.

This isn’t complicated.

Chief Justice John Roberts traveled to a foreign country to spend a week with Norm Eisen—a man who is directly tied to numerous lawfare operations aimed at President Trump, January 6’ers, and conservative political movements all over the country. Eisen isn’t just some random acquaintance. He’s a key architect of the modern legal warfare that’s being used to takedown political opponents through the courts.

And Roberts didn’t just meet with Eisen. He stayed at Eisen’s estate in the Czech Republic. He worked with him on political and legal strategy—while still serving as the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

This cannot stand. (Read more: Revolver News, 4/3/2025)  (Archive)



UPDATE 4/7/2025

April 3, 2025 – NSA director and Cyber Command chief Timothy Haugh, deputy Wendy Noble fired in major shakeup at wiretapping agency

The director of the National Security Agency, Air Force Gen. Timothy Haugh, reportedly was fired Thursday from his post as the head of the agency.

Haugh’s removal as director of the NSA, the nation’s primary cyber espionage and electronic eavesdropping agency, comes on the same day at least three White House National Security Council staffers reportedly also were shown the door.

The ousted NSA director’s civilian deputy, Wendy Noble, was also let go Thursday, according to the Washington Post, citing current and former US officials.

Noble was reassigned to a role within the Pentagon’s Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, according to the outlet.

The reason behind the NSA shakeup is unknown, the US officials told the outlet.

Haugh, who also serves as the Pentagon’s Cyber Command chief, had led the NSA since February 2024.

It’s unclear if the Air Force general will remain at his Cyber Command post following his removal from the Fort Meade, Md.-based spy agency.

Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk was hosted by Haugh at NSA headquarters just last month, his first known visit to a US intelligence agency. (Read more: New York Post, 4/03/2025)  (Archive)



Right-wing influencer Laura Loomer claimed she had a “private” meeting with President Trump on Wednesday to present him with “research” — before at least three National Security Council staffers were reportedly fired.

“It was an honor to meet with President Trump and present him with my research findings,” Loomer wrote on X after posting details about the lack of proper “vetting” at the NSC in the past week.

Loomer apparently presented the president with information about NSC staffers having “neo-con” views, Axios reported.

(…) As many as six staffers may have ultimately been shown the door, according to The New York Times, which noted National Security Adviser Mike Waltz was present at the White House meeting with Loomer.

The ousted staffers included senior director Brian Walsh, senior director for national affairs Thomas Boodry, and senior director David Feith, according to CNN.

“NSC doesn’t comment on personnel matters,” NSC spokesman Brian Hughes told The Post.

Trump later confirmed he met with Loomer and got her advice — but said the firings didn’t have to do with her.

“We’re always going to let go of people — people we don’t like, or people that take advantage of, or people that may have loyalties to someone else,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. (Read more: New York Post, 4/03/2025)  (Arvhive)

April 3, 2025 – NIH genetic counselor tells researchers to alter language and “change ‘race’ to ‘ancestry’” in clinical trials to evade DOGE and secure funding

“I had to go and look at what was leaked as far as the banned words… and figure out what to suggest and choose,” admitted James Welch, a National Institutes of Health (@NIH) genetic counselor, revealing the extent to which he is coaching researchers to manipulate grant applications in order to bypass federal restrictions.

Welch, who works at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (@NIDDKgov), was caught on hidden camera explaining how he helps principal investigators (PIs) at the NIH adjust their wording to avoid scrutiny from government oversight bodies, including the Department of Government Efficiency (@DOGE). “There are banned words that they’re [DOGE] cutting grants for… Two of the words are ‘women’ and ‘female,’” Welch revealed.

Welch detailed how he actively advised a researcher to alter the language in a study on cortisol levels in Black and White women, ensuring it would not trigger red flags in the grant approval process. “Just make it not the primary objective, make it a secondary objective, and change the word ‘race’ to ‘ancestry,’” he advised.

Welch also acknowledged that NIH’s intramural research programs face fewer barriers than extramural projects funded at universities, stating, “We can do it [microdialysis] if we have the money,” highlighting the power NIH insiders wield over approving their own research.

Welch also made comments about purchasing firearms and potential retaliation against individuals at the NIH. “My mom told me today not to shoot anybody because I’ve been buying guns,” he remarked. When pressed about why he was purchasing firearms, Welch responded, “Just thinking about worst-case scenarios and being like, well, why not be prepared?”

OMG has reached out to the NIH for comment regarding Welch’s statements.

“I heard you had a really bad day. You’re about to have a worse day,” James O’Keefe stated, addressing James Welch, a National Institutes of Health (@NIH) official recently caught on hidden camera revealing he counsels researchers to alter language in clinical trial protocols, specifically replacing the term “race” with “ancestry,” to evade @DOGE oversight. “This is you on camera,” revealed O’Keefe.

O’Keefe pressed Welch about his role in modifying terminology, asking if it was deceitful to replace “race” with “ancestry.” Welch denied the claim, repeatedly saying, “I didn’t lie,” affirming that he suggested altering the language “for scientific accuracy.”

As the encounter continued, Welch attempted to flee in his Tesla. Despite appearing eager to disengage, Welch rolled down his window and continued the discussion. “I believe in good science. I believe in protecting the people,” Welch stated. O’Keefe challenged this reasoning, questioning how the alteration could be scientifically accurate. Welch fired back, “I’m an expert. You’re not.”

O’Keefe referenced a text message reportedly sent by Welch to an undercover journalist, in which he described the situation at work as “a bloodbath” with people losing their jobs. Despite the tension, Welch continued to assert that his actions were justified. Welch replied, “I care about people,” adding, “You don’t care about people or their health.”

O’Keefe rebutted, stating, “Of course, we care deeply about people. We want people to know what’s going on in their government.” He concluded by pointing out the common reactions he encounters during such investigations: “They always either run away, assault me, call the police, or say nothing. That was like everything but calling the police right there and assaulting.”

April 5, 2025 – Judge Boasberg’s brother, Tom Boasberg, hired illegal aliens to teach American students

Judge Boasberg’s Brother, a former associate at Covington & Burling, Hired Illegal Aliens to Teach American Students, Now He Runs A School In Singapore Promoted By The US State Department

I have discovered another shocking conflict of interest involving Judge James Boasberg, who recently threatened to hold Trump administration officials in contempt for failing to provide flight information related to the deportation of illegal Venezuelan gang members belonging to the notorious Tren de Aragua gang. The judge’s brother, Tom Boasberg, a fluent Chinese speaker and former superintendent of Denver Public Schools (DPS) for a decade, hired illegal aliens on DACA to teach in Colorado schools during his tenure.

A review of Tom Boasberg’s professional background reveals he was an associate at Covington & Burling. On February 25, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed a memorandum to suspend security clearances for Covington & Burling LLP employees involved in the weaponization of government, pending a review of their roles and responsibility in the weaponization of the judicial process.

Adding to the controversy, the US State Department @StateDept is currently promoting the Singapore American School, where Tom Boasberg now serves as superintendent, on its official website. This raises questions about the government’s endorsement of an institution led by an individual with a history of employing undocumented immigrants.

Colorado has seen a significant presence of the Tren de Aragua Venezuelan gang, with ICE actively searching for members who have reportedly taken over apartment complexes in the state while illegally possessing high-powered weapons.

Judge Boasberg’s recent threat to hold Trump officials in contempt comes amid the Trump administration’s efforts to deport these gang members.

The judge’s handling of the case involving President Trump’s deportation flights of illegal immigrants has been called into question, especially given his family’s ties to pro-immigration causes.

As I exclusively reported several weeks ago, Judge Boasberg’s daughter Katharine Boasberg works for the radical Leftist group called “Partners for Justice @PFJ_USA”, a non-profit organization known for its advocacy on behalf of illegal aliens.

Meanwhile, Judge Boasberg’s brother’s actions in hiring undocumented immigrants to teach in Colorado schools, where the Tren de Aragua gang is now a significant concern, further raises more concerns over the conflict of interest.

@marcorubio should conduct a review regarding why the US State Department is promoting a school led by Tom Boasberg, an “open borders leftist” who arguably endangered the lives of American children by employing illegal aliens.

Judge Boasberg is very conflicted and is now threatening to hold members of the Trump admin in contempt because multiple members of his family are involved in supporting illegal aliens.

Judge Boasberg needs to be IMPEACHED.

Officials in the Biden White House, including then-White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su, personally assisted the FBI in securing the government cell phones of President Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence. The cell phones were acquired before Trump was formally added as a subject of the investigation.
  2. Prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C. – including U.S. Attorney Thomas Windom, who later joined Jack Smith’s team as a main attorney – coordinated extensively with FBI agents in the Washington Field Office to plan, approve and execute Arctic Frost.
  3. Further evidence anti-Trump FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Timothy Thibault played a central role in opening and advancing the Arctic Frost investigation, despite other agents’ concerns that the evidence only supported a limited preliminary investigation.

April 8, 2025 – Schweizer: 4 things to consider in ‘Tariff Panic Week’

President Donald Trump unveiled a full slate of eye-popping tariffs on countries large and small last Friday, and the reactions over the weekend have been intense.

Welcome to “Tariff Panic Week.”

Many people have noted the precipitous drop in the stock market and their own IRAs since the tariffs were announced. One reporter who questioned Trump aboard Air Force One over the weekend even asked him whether he’d call off the tariffs if the Dow Jones index kept dropping.

“That’s a stupid question,” Trump snapped.

There are a lot of stupid questions being asked and instant analysis being offered on the tariffs. Most of it misunderstands why the Trump administration took this step.

On the latest episode, Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers, co-hosts of The Drill Down podcast, explain the tariffs as addressing four main issues: national debt, consumer debt, our geostrategic position, and of course, trade.

April 8, 2025 – DOJ reveals Trump would-be assassin Ryan Routh tried to purchase a Stinger Missile from Ukrainian to take out Trump



Via HeadlineUSA

The DOJ alleged in a late-Monday motion that would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh ATTEMPTED TO BUY A ROCKET LAUNCHER FROM A UKRAINIAN ASSOCIATE weeks before his Sept. 15 attempt.

“I need equipment so that Trump cannot get elected,” Routh allegedly told his Ukrainian associate.

The DOJ also claimed that Routh was in touch with a Mexican human trafficker about smuggling Afghans into the U.S.– and later about escaping the country after he killed Trump–and that he used stolen license plates and fake names such as “John White” and “Brian Wilson.”

A flurry of court filings hit the docket Monday in the Justice Department’s case against Ryan Routh, revealing bombshell new details about Routh’s activities in the months leading up to his alleged assassination attempt against Donald Trump last September—including that he tried buying a rocket launcher and a “stinger” missile from an associate in Ukraine weeks beforehand.

Along with several other motions, the DOJ filed a notice about the evidence it intends to introduce about Routh’s purported plans to kill Trump. According to that DOJ motion, Routh used aliases, he was in touch with a human smuggler in Mexico about an escape plan, and he attempted to buy a .50 caliber sniper rifle in late August.

From the DOJ report, via Headline USA:

An Escape Plan to Mexico?

The DOJ’s motion states that Routh was in touch with the Mexican smuggler, identified in court records only as “Ramiro,” since at least February 2024, when they discussed smuggling an Afghan family into the U.S.

“While this February chat involved smuggling others, it is necessary context for how that same chat evolved on September 13th and 14th, the two days before Routh set up his sniper hide at Trump International, when he contacted Ramiro for the first time since February 29,” the DOJ’s motion states.

“On those two days, Routh told Ramiro that he would be in Mexico City in the days immediately after September 15, with Ramiro responding that he would see Routh then and that he was located four hours outside of Mexico City and with Routh replying that he would call Ramiro once he knew for sure whether he’d meet him—something Routh planned through extensive web searches about travel to Mexico.”

Apparently, Routh’s contact with the Mexican smuggler was just one element of his escape plan. The DOJ also said in its motion that Routh used stolen license plates, burner phones, and aliases, including “John White” and “Brian Wilson.” (Read more: Headline News, 4/8/2025) (Archive)



We’ve got some big updates on Ryan Routh, the would-be assassin who allegedly plotted to kill President Trump—and it just got a whole lot darker. And while his shady dealings with Ukraine are disturbing enough (and yes, we’ll get into that), the real meat and potatoes of this story comes from Mike Benz, who just dropped a bombshell that could blow this whole thing wide open. What he believes happened—and what he’s nearly certain of—is where things take a serious turn. This story is catching fire fast.

According to newly released DOJ documents, Routh didn’t just dream about taking Trump out—he actively tried to buy military-grade weapons from Ukraine – of all places – including a shoulder-fired rocket launcher and even an anti-aircraft missile. Yes, you read that right. This man likely wanted to blow Trump’s plane right out of the sky.

April 8, 2025 – Hegseth fires Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield for loss of confidence in her ability to lead

Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield (Credit: public domain)

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Alliance has been one of the most successful treaties the United States has been involved with.  However, in the current age, there is grave concern over the weak defense spending of most NATO Partners.  Until the final NATO Summit for Jan Stoltenberg, the outgoing NATO Secretary, in July 2024, only 12 of 32 NATO Nations were meeting the 2% of GDP for Military Spend, which has been a long standing, stated goal of NATO members.  On March 13, 2025, at a joint press conference with the new NATO Secretary Mark Rutte, President Trump said, “there were just very few (NATO) countries that were paying…at 2 percent, which is too low.  It should be higher.  It should be quite a bit higher… most of them weren’t paying or they were paying very little.”

During this period of enforcing the expectations of NATO membership, the senior U.S. uniformed military officer at NATO is critical to properly communicating the meaning and intent of the President.  Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield was the United States Military Representative to the NATO Military Committee, the highest-ranking U.S. Military leader other than the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, currently U.S. Army General Christopher Cavoli.  According to Jack Posobiec, “Per report, Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield refused to put up POTUS & SECDEF pictures in NATO HQ. Also held an “all hands” where she said, “we will wait them out 4 years”. There are other actions attributed to the Admiral that place her in the woke camp.  Generals and Admirals are appointed, not anointed, and if they lose the confidence of the Commander in Chief, it is time for them to hang it up and retire.

This afternoon we asked the U.S. District Court in Sherman, Texas to hold the @FBI in contempt of court for systematically violating the court’s orders to produce records about Seth Rich. If there is nothing to hide, and Seth died in a “botched robbery,” then why has the FBI gone so far as to commit crimes in order to conceal the evidence? After all, the FBI already has admitted that there is a link between Seth’s work laptop and the 2016 “hack” of the DNC, purportedly by Russian intelligence agents.

April 8, 2025 – Supreme Court begins dismantling federal judge “Temporary Restraining Orders” against constitutional executive branch action

Many pundits and apoplectic Lawfare leftists are noting a set of four recent Supreme Court rulings favorable to the Trump administration.

The most recent ruling [pdf here] said nonprofit groups lacked legal standing to bring lawsuits challenging the firings of probationary workers at the departments of Defense, Treasury, Energy, Interior, Agriculture and Veterans Affairs.  As a consequence, the accompanying Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) is defeated.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court also ruled -generally favorable- to the Trump administration [pdf here] on the issue of Venezuelans in the United States labeled by President Donald Trump as “alien enemies.”  The justices ruled (5-4) to vacate a lower judge’s order that imposed a block on all deportations under Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.

However, the court ruled to remove the TRO under auspices of the wrong venue for challenge; saying the deportees must challenge their status in the district court where jurisdiction of detainment takes place.

That split court ruling follows on the heels of Chief Justice John Roberts issuing an administrative order indefinitely lifting a lower court injunction [pdf here] that demanded the return of previously deported Abrego Garcia set by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis.

In short, the Supreme Court, at least a narrow majority therein, appears to be knocking down the process of federal judge shopping to issue nationwide restraining orders against the Trump administration.  Twitter account Unseen1 has a solid and brief outline of what the court appears to be doing:

“The big win for Trump in the scotus today was not the resumption of deportations under the AEA (alien enemies act) (but that was big also). The major win was the court narrowing the federal district judges’ jurisdiction They once again narrowed the ability of the APA (administrative procedure act) which is the main law the vast majority of these unconditional judicial rulings have been made under.

The left is using the APA like Macgyver used bubble gum to get them out of sticky situations. Without the APA, they can’t judge shop as much. They can’t make class action lawsuits that have national injunctions attached.

In short, the scotus with this order, along with the one last week, is narrowing the use of the APA to reign in the lower federal district courts. There are already judicial remedies for almost all of these cases that do not involve a hand-picked federal district court needing to issue a national injunction or TRO.

Grants and contracts should be brought in federal claims court.

Immigration issues should be brought as habeas cases, and most can be held in front of immigration judges.

Government firings should be brought in front of the merit systems protection board.

The left doesn’t want to follow proper procedures for a host of reasons, like added costs, unfriendly judges could set precedent, extra work, time, etc. So, they invented the APA macgyver option. Hence, about 50 TROs/injunctions later, the scotus is smacking this practice down and telling them that this effort will not result in favorable opinions for them.

In short, the scotus is telling the federal district courts not to draw outside the lines regardless of the merits of the case because they will be denied on jurisdiction grounds if they reach the high court.” [link]

However, as noted by The American Thinker: {…} “The real problem is that the Supreme Court emphasized that every person named as an “alien enemy” under the AEA is entitled to judicial review. This is insane because it means that the judiciary will, once again, take unto itself the power to control foreign policy.

While this standard currently applies to the 18-20 million ordinary illegals that Biden let in (something no legislator or judge ever contemplated when immigration laws were passed or reviewed), it cannot possibly apply to the AEA, which is a question of foreign policy solely under the executive’s purview. (Sadly, though, Bondi’s DOJ actually gave the Supremes this opening, so part of the responsibility for this ludicrous holding is on her.) (more)

April 9, 2025 – A former Meta official testifies they secretly aided China in undermining U.S. national security

Sarah Wynn-Williams (Credit: video clipping)

A former Meta executive turned whistleblower just dropped a political nuke that has rocked Capitol Hill and should terrify every American who values freedom, privacy, and national sovereignty.

Sarah Wynn-Williams, once Facebook’s director of global public policy (now Meta), appeared before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism on Wednesday and leveled jaw-dropping allegations against her former employer.

That Meta knowingly briefed the Chinese Communist Party on advanced U.S. technologies, including artificial intelligence, beginning in 2015—just to get a seat at Beijing’s lucrative tech table.

“These briefings focused on critical emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence – explicit goal being to help China outcompete American companies,” said Wynn-Williams, who worked at the social media giant from 2011 to 2017, according to the New York Post.

“There’s a straight line you can draw from these briefings to the recent revelations that China is developing AI models for military use, relying on Meta’s Llama model,” she added. (Read more:  Gateway Pundit, 4/10/2025)  (Archive)

April 9, 2025 – Trump addresses risks associated with “Anonymous” sensationalist, Miles Taylor

RECLAIMING GOVERNMENT INTEGRITY: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum suspending any active security clearance held by Miles Taylor and his associates.

The Order directs the head of every federal agency to immediately suspend any active security clearance held by Taylor.

The Order also suspends any active security clearance held by individuals at entities associated with Taylor, including the University of Pennsylvania, pending a review of whether such clearances are consistent with the national interest.

Furthermore, the Order calls for a review of Taylor’s activities as a government employee to identify any instances where his conduct appears to have been contrary to suitability standards for federal employees or involved the unauthorized dissemination of classified information.

ERADICATING GOVERNMENT BETRAYAL: President Trump is committed to ending the weaponization of government and believes that those who engage in such conduct should not have access to our nation’s secrets.

Taylor is a bad-faith actor who weaponized and abused his government position, prioritizing his own ambition, personal notoriety, and monetary gain over fidelity to his constitutional oath.

While serving as an administrative staff assistant at the Department of Homeland Security, Taylor stoked dissension by manufacturing sensationalist reports on the existence of a supposed “resistance” within the federal government that “vowed” to undermine and render effective a sitting President.

Taylor published a book under the pseudonym “Anonymous,” full of falsehoods and fabricated stories.

(Credit: You Tube video clipping)

Taylor disclosed sensitive information obtained through unauthorized methods and betrayed the confidence of those with whom he served.

Taylor relied upon various colleagues to facilitate his unethical laundering and release of sensitive government data to advance his false narratives.

DRAINING THE SWAMP: President Trump is delivering on his promise to drain the swamp by rooting out inefficiency, corruption, and disloyalty.

President Trump already suspended the security clearances held by numerous other individuals who have engaged in conduct detrimental to American interests.

He is ensuring taxpayer funds do not go to anti-American activists and is declassifying records related to alleged government misconduct, providing transparency to the public.

The Trump Administration is aggressively investigating Biden-era programs that wasted billions of taxpayer dollars on inefficient and politically-driven projects, including canceling unnecessary government contracts and grants that do not serve the national interest.

President Trump is restoring trust in government by prioritizing loyalty to the Constitution and the American people over entrenched bureaucratic interests.

April 9, 2025 – Trump revokes former CISA director Chris Krebs’s security clearance — Orders DOJ investigation into role in ‘stolen’ 2020 election

This afternoon, President Donald Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum that instructs the Department of Justice and “other aspects of [his] government” to investigate Chris Krebs and his acts as the former Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).  At the signing, President Trump’s White House staff secretary Will Scharf stated:

“This is a man who weaponized his position against free speech in the election context and the context of COVID-19.  This is a similar Presidential Memorandum to the one you just signed.  It addresses his access to government existent clearances he might have and further instructs your Department of Justice, other aspects of your government, to investigate some of the malign acts he participated in while he was still head of CISA.”

Before signing the memorandum, President Trump rehashed the consequences of the stolen 2020 election, including the deaths from the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, the Russia-Ukraine war, and October 7th.

President Trump called it “a very corrupt election” and said “they used COVID to cheat.”  He called Krebs a “wise-guy” and referenced his absurd statement almost immediately following the 2020 Election, calling it the “most secure in U.S. history.” (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 4/9/2025)  (Archive)

A key FBI informant in the widely-debunked Russia collusion case was paid nearly $1.2 million over three decades, was motivated in part by “monetary compensation,” and continued snitching even after agents concluded he told them an inaccurate story about future Trump National Security Advisor Mike Flynn, newly declassified documents show.

The nearly 700 pages of once-secret documents, obtained by Just the News, were recently turned over by FBI Director Kash Patel to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan after President Donald Trump ordered them declassified at the start of his second administration.

They provide the most extensive portrait yet of former FBI informant Stefan Halper, a Pentagon consultant and academic who, along with retired British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, was used by bureau agents to build the Crossfire Hurricane case against Trump and his advisers during the end of the 2016 election and the beginning of Trump’s first term in office.

The memos confirm Halper was the source of one of the most sensational bogus claims to land in the FBI’s probe in summer 2016: that Flynn had left a 2014 foreign meeting alone with Russia scholar Svetlana Lokhova when he was a three-star general leading the Defense Intelligence Agency.

FBI agents ultimately deemed Halper’s account to be “not plausible” and “not accurate”, but the bureau proceeded to investigate Flynn, kept paying Halper and continued to vouch for his veracity as a confidential human source codenamed “Mitch,” the memos show.

For instance, a March 2017 memo showed the FBI’s Validation Management Unit wrote that it “assesses it is likely HALPER is suitable for continued operation, based on his or her authenticity, reliability, and control.”

That memo makes no mention in its unredacted portions of the concerns about the account Halper gave about Flynn and Lokhova, which were confirmed in a memo from William Barnett, the FBI agent who handled the retired Flynn’s case in 2016 and 2017.

Paid more than $1 million

The new FBI records also show Halper was paid $70,000 by the FBI between August 2016 and the start of February 2017 — a time period spanning his activation as an informant targeting the Trump campaign and then the 2016 election and Trump’s inauguration. The FBI records also showed that the bureau had paid Halper “$1,181,064.44” from 1991 into early 2017.

Stefan Halper – Crossfire Hurricane Declassified Binder

Halper did not respond to a request for comment which Just the News made through his lawyer, Robert Luskin.

The “Crossfire Hurricane Redacted Binder” submitted to Congress and obtained by Just the News includes, among other things, slightly less-redacted versions of the tasking orders and debriefings of the two main confidential human sources, Halper and Steele. The new documents are certain to raise continued concerns in Congress about the FBI’s management and validation of informants, an issue that has been repeatedly flagged by the Justice Department’s watchdog.

FBI vouches for Halper after he fed false info on Flynn

The FBI’s Validation Management Unit (VMU) conducted a Human Source Validation Report (HSVR) on Halper in early 2017 — and although the declassified document remains heavily redacted, it reveals new information about the FBI’s continued expression of trust in Halper.

The VMU’s review from May 2013 to March 2017 and recommended that the FBI continue using Halper as a source despite FBI agents working the Flynn case determining that he had provided them incorrect information. It is not known whether Halper knew the information was bogus at the time.

“VMU recommends FBI New York continue to operate HALPER. VMU assesses it is likely HALPER will continue to contribute to the FBI’s Counterintelligence Program,” the FBI unit wrote. “While there have been serious handling issues noted in previous HSVRs, VMU did not locate similar issues during this period of review. VMU assesses HALPER has provided valuable information for FBI NY based on his or her unique access.”

The FBI document said Halper was primarily involved in reporting on “Counterintelligence” and secondarily involved in reporting on “Russia.”

“HALPER, code name MITCH, is being utilized to provide information on two initiatives dealing with Russia,” the FBI record states, although one of the initiatives remains entirely redacted.

The other initiative was that Halper “has also provided information pertaining to the U.S. election involving Donald Trump’s close associates and their potential ties to the Russian government.”

Vox parroted this explanation, saying the Trump administration told “a tale of politically motivated persecution of Trump. The argument rests on the distinction between an FBI counterintelligence investigation – an inquiry into a foreign power’s efforts to spy on the US government – and an FBI criminal investigation, which is an effort to investigate whether any federal laws were broken.”

The FBI unit said: “VMU assesses it is likely HALPER is suitable for continued operation, based on his or her authenticity, reliability, and control.” The sections of Halper’s alleged authenticity, reliability, and control remain heavily redacted.

The bureau unit also contended that “during the period of review, VMU found no derogatory issues regarding MITCH’s reliability.”

But the FBI unit also admitted: “VMU notes there is no corroboration concerning MITCH’s reporting. Due to the singular nature of his or her access, VMU was unable to locate corroboration concerning MITCH’s reporting.”

Sections on collection requirements, threat issues, and key intelligence questions related to Halper all remain blacked out from public view.

April 10, 2025 – Hillary Clinton fearmongers over the House passing SAVE Act that requires proof of citizenship to vote

Earlier on Thursday, as Jeff covered, the House passed the SAVE Act, which makes clear that only citizens can vote in our elections. The bill passed 220-208, with all Republicans supporting the voter integrity effort, along with four Democrats. Most of those four Democrats, Reps. Ed Case of Hawaii, Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, are running in competitive districts.

Despite the common sense nature of such a bill, not only did most House Democrats vote against it, but their party’s nominee for 2016 totally melted down in posts over X. Hillary Clinton posted a warning about the bill on Wednesday afternoon, and then on Thursday afternoon put out a quoted reposted with an “update,” with even more fearmongering about the bill.

The original post included a link to a far-left group known as Indivisible, and claimed “this is not a drill” as she urged married women who changed their name to call their representatives over a supposed need to protect their right to vote.

Clinton’s new post from Wednesday urged women to call their senators this time, as she once more lumped all married women who changed their name into the same category. “The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don’t match their birth certificates,” she claimed, urging these women to “Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.”

Although Clinton restricted replies, she was swiftly called out for such a bogus take, and on a very popular bill to do with a crucial issue. Wednesday’s post has been viewed over 1 million times, and includes 5,000 quoted reposts.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who sponsored the SAVE Act for this Congress and the previous one, not only put out a quoted repost of Clinton, he also reposted a clip of his appearance on “The Will Cain Show.”

The congressman addressed the concerns raised by Clinton directly, explaining, “when you get married, you have to go change that documentation anyway,” pointing out how newly married women have to get new IDs reflecting their name change. “And regardless, we’ve got mechanisms in the bill that allow states to be able to create processes for anyone who comes forward and says, ‘I need to vote.’ Right? Well, okay, are you already registered? Great, you’re good to go! If you’re going through a new registration process, and you’re married, well just present your new information and now you’re rergistering and it’s fine! If you got any issue, then we allow the states to come up with mechanism for doing that, and demonstrating” a process for that.

Roy also highlighted what people cannot do, “which is come in with a made up name” and expect to be trusted enough to be able to vote, a concept that the congressman called “pretty simple.”

April 10, 2025 – DOGE finds unemployment benefits fraud committed by babies, 115 yr olds, and a time traveler

An initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020 revealed the following:
– 24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits
– 28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in benefits
– 9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits

In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k.

Unreal. Billions in unemployment fraud—babies, 115-year-olds, even someone born in 2154 cashing checks. This isn’t bureaucratic error—it’s systematic looting.

The Pandemic Unemployment Fraud Enforcement Act (H.R. 1156) finally extends the statute of limitations to claw back stolen funds. But let’s be clear: this mess started under lax oversight in prior administrations. Now? The focus is accountability.

Every dime stolen from taxpayers should be hunted down—no expiry date on fraud. Time to jail the grifters and overhaul a system that handed out cash to literal toddlers.

April 10, 2025 – Trump strips benefits from thousands of aliens on terror watchlist

The Trump administration is revoking the parole of thousands of immigrants who they have found to have criminal records or to be on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center watchlist, a senior White House official told the Daily Caller.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has identified 6,300 individuals who were paroled into the United States since 2023, during the Biden administration, but are on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center or have a criminal record, a senior White House official shared with the Caller. The source was granted anonymity to discuss the details not yet announced. Every individual CBP identified is having their parole, which gives them benefits such as work authorization, stripped immediately, the official told the Caller.

“Among the 6.3k paroled aliens with criminal or terrorist records, 905 were collecting Medicaid (including 4 on the terrorist watch list). $276,000 was paid out,” the official shared with the Caller, adding that all had Social Security numbers. “41 were collecting Unemployment Insurance, receiving $42,000 in benefits. 22 received federal student loans totaling $280,000.”

Other immigrants granted parole under the Biden administration have also had their benefits stripped by the Trump White House. In March, termination notices started being delivered to hundreds of thousands of migrants who entered the United States through a fraud-ridden parole program launched by the Biden administration. The program, CHNV, was terminated by the Trump administration last month.

Under the initiative, half-a-million migrants were flown in from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela over the past several years.

“They allowed more than half a million loosely vetted aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and their immediate family members to enter the United States through these disastrous parole programs; granted them opportunities to compete for American jobs and undercut American workers; forced career civil servants to promote the programs even when fraud was identified; and then blamed Republicans in Congress for the chaos that ensued and the crime that followed,” a senior DHS official previously said of the announcement.

April 11, 2025 – Kash Patel’s FBI suspends and removes deep state operative Brian Auten

Brian Auten (Credit: Radaris)

After years of stonewalling, spin, and subversion of truth, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the leadership of Director Kash Patel, has finally placed Deep State operative Brian Auten on administrative leave.

Sources familiar with the matter told the New York Times that Auten was placed on administrative leave last week.

Auten’s suspension comes after years of public outcry over his corrupt misconduct inside the Bureau, which turned the FBI into an arm of the Democrat Party.

He was a key player in Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s scandalous counterintelligence investigation based on the now-discredited Steele Dossier.

According to the DOJ Inspector General, Auten failed to alert FBI leadership about gaping holes and fabrications in the dossier, yet still aggressively pushed for illegal FISA warrants on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Let’s be clear: this was the FBI spying on a presidential campaign based on false evidence — and Brian Auten was in the thick of it.

But Auten didn’t stop at attacking Trump. In 2020, just weeks before the election, whistleblowers allege that Auten authored an internal FBI report that falsely labeled damning information about Hunter Biden as “Russian disinformation.”

That report effectively shut down the FBI’s investigation into the Biden family’s foreign business dealings — conveniently just in time to protect Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.

Auten’s fingerprints were reportedly all over both cases — despite being under internal investigation for misconduct related to the FISA abuse during the Russia probe. Instead of being removed or disciplined, he was allowed to continue shaping politically explosive investigations under dirty FBI Director Chris Wray.

Auten’s fingerprints are also on the FBI’s unprecedented raid on President Trump’s home, another blatant abuse of power targeting the Biden administration’s chief political opponent. (Read more: Gateway Pundit. 4/12/2025) (Archive)







April 11, 2025 – The Crossfire Hurricane declassified binder reveals Admiral Rogers informed the FBI in June 2017 the Trump Russia collusion story was not true

The Washington Post and New York Times won Pulitzer Prizes for their numerous stories on false claims of Trump-Russia collusion. Declassified interview notes from Crossfire Hurricane now show Admiral Mike Rogers shot down one of those stories behind closed doors.

Former National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers told FBI agents that the crux of a Pulitzer Prize award-winning Washington Post story on the Russian collusion hoax was “wrong,” according to newly declassified documents obtained by Just the News.

Admiral Rogers, who retired in 2018 after four years as National Security Agency chief and commander of U.S. Cyber Command, spoke with FBI agents and a key member of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team in June 2017, where he threw cold water on a May 2017 story by the Post titled, “Trump asked intelligence chiefs to push back against FBI collusion probe after Comey revealed its existence.”

It is not yet known whether the Post had been told prior to the May 2017 publishing of their story that Rogers was denying their characterization of his talk with Trump, but it is now known that Rogers was telling federal investigators in June 2017 that the story was bogus.

The Post story — now known to have been directly refuted by one of its main subjects the month after it published — would go on to be among the Russiagate stories published by the outlet to win a Pulitzer Prize in 2018. Trump is currently suing the Pulitzer Board for defamation for continuing to defend the awards it gave to this collusion-related story and numerous others. A Florida circuit court judge denied the Pulitzer Board’s motion to delay President Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against them on presidential immunity grounds.

The newly-released Rogers interview with the Mueller team shows that the then-NSA director was read a quote from The Washington Post article — that “President Trump urged [Rogers] to publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion during the 2016 election” — with the FBI notes stating that “Rogers responded that the media characterization was wrong, and the President had asked about the existence of SIGINT [signals intelligence] evidence only.” (Read more: Just the News, 4/11/2025)  (Archive)


April 11, 2025 – Crossfire Hurricane declassified: Admiral Mike Rogers and the Steele Dossier

(…)

Admiral Mike Rogers and the Steele Dossier

Admiral Mike Rogers, who retired in 2018 after four years as National Security Agency chief and commander of U.S. Cyber Command, previously expressed a certain level of skepticism about the U.S. intelligence community’s 2017 assessment of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election — and a newly declassified interview Rogers gave to the FBI later in 2017 shines light on the dim view Rogers had of British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s discredited dossier.

“ADM Rogers decided that he would make the final analytic call on the NSA’s input to the ICA as he knew there would be a lot of pressure and attention on the final draft and he felt strongly his career analysts shouldn’t have to be responsible for something under such political pressure. In one draft of the ICA, ADM Rogers noted the contents of the ‘Steele dossier’ in the body of the product, which he did not recall seeing in previous drafts,” FBI notes dated June 17, 2017 state.

“In early January, the four principals met and ADM Rogers told the group he was unclear why the ICA needed to focus on the dossier as it was considered largely uncorroborated. Comey responded that the information was relevant and ADM Rogers suggested the information be included in an annex or appendix rather than prominently in the nearly one-page summary he had seen.”

Rogers and Comey, along with Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan, briefed President-elect Trump about their election meddling findings at Trump Tower in January 2017. Comey stayed behind to tell Trump about some of the dossier’s more salacious allegations.

Steele told the FBI in October 2017 that he was “frustrated” by his dossier’s inclusion in an annex to the ICA. The FBI agent who recounted the interview with Steele wrote, “They brought up the inclusion of their material in the ICA annex multiple times – almost to the point that it felt like fishing for information about how the ICA was constructed. In the end, I made the point that I wasn’t going to get into how the ICA was put together, how the annex came about, etc.”

The Steele dossier annexed to the ICA was largely declassified in 2020, and it relayed some of Steele’s baseless collusion claims: “The most politically-sensitive claims by the FBI source [Steele] alleged a close relationship between the President-elect and the Kremlin. The source also claimed that the President-elect and his top campaign advisers knowingly worked with Russian officials to bolster his chances of beating Secretary Clinton; were fully knowledgeable of Russia’s direction of leaked Democratic emails; and were offered financial compensation from Moscow.”

Varying assessments from intelligence services

The 2017 intelligence assessment concluded with “high confidence” that Russia worked to “undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process, denigrate former Secretary of State Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency” and “developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump.” The NSA diverged on one aspect, expressing only “moderate confidence” that Putin actively tried to help Trump’s election chances and harm those of Clinton.

“I wouldn’t call it a discrepancy. I’d call it an honest difference of opinion between three different organizations,” Rogers told the Senate in 2017. “It didn’t have the same level of sourcing and the same level of multiple sources.”

A 2018 report from the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee concluded that “the majority of the Intelligence Community Assessment judgments on Russia’s election activities employed proper analytic tradecraft” but found the “judgments on Putin’s strategic intentions did not.”

unmasking saga

The newly-declassified FBI records also show Rogers attempted to distance himself from the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

“ADM Rogers has not been specifically briefed on the FBI investigation into the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and the nature of links between those efforts and the Trump campaign,” the notes read.” However, ADM Rogers was aware the NSA has received Letterhead Memoranda from the FBI requesting information mostly on specific interactions with U.S. Persons. ADM Rogers was aware the FBI was ‘following specific individuals’ but was not certain if it was because of the ongoing work on the ICA or for another reason.”

The FBI notes also say that “Rogers was surprised when Comey told the committee in open session on March 20, 2017 that the FBI was investigating potential links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian interference… Comey did not tell him in advance about the ongoing set of investigations.”

A host of top Obama officials received information in response to “unmasking” requests targeting retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn in the final weeks of the Obama administration, according to a memo declassified in 2020.

Republicans have alleged since 2017 that Obama-era officials improperly unmasked associates of then-candidate Trump’s presidential campaign during the Russia collusion investigation, while Democrats have defended the intelligence-gathering process, arguing that the collection of identifying information is inevitable.

John Durham said Rogers cast doubt on collusion claims during an interview with the special counsel team.

“Admiral Mike Rogers served as the Director of NSA during the relevant time period,” the 2023 report said. “When asked about any awareness he had of any evidence of collusion as asserted in the Steele Reports, he stated that he did not recall any intelligence that supported the collusion assertions in that reporting, nor did he have any discussions during the Summer of 2016 with his counterparts in the intelligence community about collusion between the Russians and any Republicans.

April 11, 2025 – Crossfire Hurricane declassified: FBI internal messages reveal their efforts to get Trump and his team on fabricated rumors

UPDATE: Crossfire Hurricane — Holeee Shizzles‼️

Internal FBI Messages from January 2017 reveal Shady Structuring to Frame Trump and his team with fabricated Rumors

• Agents like Peter Strzok debated creating a “Trump Unit” to target the incoming administration, focusing on @GenFlynn for his talks with Russian ambassador Kislyak, which they tried to spin as espionage or Logan Act violations—charges that were found baseless.

• They even FLOATED RUMORS, like Putin using Trump Tower’s roof, showing they were grasping at straws desperately trying to build a case because they didn’t have one. THIS IS HUGE!

• Flynn’s early targeting—before Trump’s inauguration—suggests a PREMEDITATED effort to sabotage the administration by taking down a key ally in a conspiracy to undermine Trump with a manufactured Russia narrative.

“I’m worried Flynn will blab himself into a legit 65”

These files lend credence to the fact that the investigation was a completely politically motivated setup from the start and they were looking to frame an incoming president of the United States.

TREASON!!

UPDATE: Crossfire Hurricane

Victoria Nuland Identified being Directly involved in Handling Sensitive Information Potentially Related to the Steele Dossier

The mention of Victoria Nuland receiving investigative material from a U.S. firm tied to a former UK intelligence officer (likely Christopher Steele) is significant.

This suggests Nuland, a senior State Department official, was directly involved in handling sensitive information potentially related to the Steele dossier, which was a controversial element of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

Her intent to pass this to Trump, stinks to high Heaven.

• There’s also a reference to “DRAGON” as a key asset, possibly an informant??? or operation???, who is wary of Igor Sechin and advising on legal strategies. This is a new detail.

DRAGON’s role as a career-“defining asse” for an FBI official, with concerns about exposure, indicates a high-stakes operation taking place that hasn’t been discussed in prior public releases.

April 14, 2025 – Anti-Trump ‘resistance’ leader, Michelle Wu, received funds from Chinese Communist Party intelligence official

Far-left Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (D) received hundreds of thousands of dollars to her 2021 campaign from a fundraiser who is a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) intelligence official, an investigation by the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) recently uncovered.

Wu’s mayoral campaign was the recipient of more than $300,000 fundraised by Gary Yu, the commissioner of the Asian American & Pacific Islanders Commission and president of the New England Chinese American Alliance, the DCNF reported.

Yu, whose Chinese name is Yu Guoliang, is listed as an official in the United Front Work Department (UFWD) — the CCP’s intelligence- and influence-gathering agency that operates overseas, including in the U.S.

The DCNF also reported that Yu operates as a recruiter for the Chinese government, citing Chinese state media reports and civic associations led by Yu to back up these claims.

Wu, whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from Taiwan after her grandparents moved the family from mainland China, has recently made headlines for criticizing President Donald Trump for cracking down on illegal immigration in her sanctuary city.

Despite her public assertion that Boston “stand[s] with immigrants,” Trump border czar Tom Homan traveled to the city and personally oversaw hundreds of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests, including members of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua (TdA).

“The Communist Party’s UFWD never rests,” China expert Gordon Chang told the DCNF. “There is no ethnic Chinese official in America who is not targeted. It’s time for law enforcement to investigate the CCP’s ties to Gary Yu and Yu’s ties to Mayor Michelle Wu.”

The UFWD also has significant roots in Minnesota, with ties to failed Democrat vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz.

According to the news foundations’ research, Yu has done extensive recruitment for different factions of the Chinese government: (Read more: Breitbart News, 4/14/2025)  (Archive)

April 14, 2025 – Pete Marocco, mastermind behind dismantling of USAID projects, leaves State Department

Pete Marocco, the official who oversaw the dismantling of USAID, has now parted ways with the agency.

Marocco, who served in the Defense, State and Commerce departments, was known as a conservative firebrand with a deep skepticism of foreign aid. His tenure sparked fierce protests on Capitol Hill and drew sharp criticism from Democrats, who celebrated his exit but said questions remain about the future of U.S. foreign aid.

“Pete was brought to State with a big mission to conduct an exhaustive review of every dollar spent on foreign assistance,” a senior administration official said of the departure. “He conducted that historic task and exposed egregious abuses of taxpayer dollars. We all expect big things are in store for Pete on his next mission.”

After President Donald Trump merged USAID with the State Department, Secretary Marco Rubio named Marocco acting deputy administrator of the agency, and he went to work whittling down the $40-billion, 10,000-employee USAID office. (Read more: Fox News, 4/14/2025)  (Archive)



April 14, 2025 – The Golden Age of American Innovation – “Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space”

Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (Credit: Official White House Photo by Keegan Barber/Wikipedia)

THE DIRECTOR: Thank you for the kind introduction. It is a pleasure to speak to you all this evening, here in the early light of the new Golden Age of America.

President Trump has given all of us who serve in his administration a monumental task—the renewal of our nation.

I know, and I think you know, too, that such a renewal will require the reinvigoration of American science and industry. Over the last few decades, America has become complacent, forgetting old dreams of building a wondrous future.

But we know the American pioneer spirit still seeks the exploration of endless frontiers. Our technologies, and what we do with them, will be the tools with which we will make the destiny of our country manifest in this century.

Yet this American hope in the possibility of progress and the power of science and technology does not allow builders and innovators to retreat from politics. Indeed, quite the opposite, which is what brings me here today. A Golden Age is only possible if we choose it.

***

There is nothing predestined about technological progress and scientific discovery. They require the efforts and energies of men and women, the collective choice for order and truth over disorder and opinion.

The last century was called the American Century, as—despite wars and domestic conflict—the United States stood at the forefront of science and technology, building the future. With the strength of our industry and ingenuity, we created the largest middle class the world has ever seen. As President Trump said to me in his letter laying out the science and technology agenda of this administration, “The triumphs of the last century did not happen by chance.”

Ours was the Atomic Age. Ours the victory in the Space Race. And ours the invention of the Internet, collecting and connecting the multiplicity of human knowledge.

Today we fight to restore that inheritance. As the failure of the Biden administration’s “small yard, high fence” approach makes clear, it is not enough to seek to protect America’s technological lead. We also have a duty to promote American technological leadership.

***

A gap lies between our moment and the speed of transformation America experienced midcentury. Progress has slowed. Yes, large language models astonish us, rockets still turn our eyes upward, and satellites envelop the globe. But as we look forward to America’s 250th birthday celebration next year, our progress today pales in comparison to the huge leaps of the 20th century. Consider the country of fifty years ago.

As the nation approached its bicentennial, Americans looked forward to electricity too cheap to meter. By the end of 1972, 30 nuclear plants were operational, 55 were under construction, and more than 80 were planned or ordered. That same year, the Apollo 17 astronauts became the 11th and 12th men to walk on the moon. Five years before, the X-15 rocket plane had set a speed record for a crewed aircraft of Mach 6.7. America was flying higher, faster, and farther than ever before…

Today, however, energy prices still burden producers and consumers alike, and the grid remains precarious. Over the past 30 years only three commercial nuclear reactors have been built and 10 have been closed. Despite spending almost twice as much on healthcare as peer nations, we have the lowest life expectancy. Apollo 17’s steps on the lunar surface have proved mankind’s last. The X-15’s record still stands, and the Concorde was decommissioned more than two decades ago. Our passenger planes are slower than they used to be. Our trains crawl compared to those in other parts of the world. Our cars do not fly

Advances have not stopped, but something has gone wrong.

***

Stagnation was a choice. We have weighed down our builders and innovators. The well-intentioned regulatory regime of the 1970s became an ever-tightening ratchet, first hampering America’s ability to become a net-energy exporter and then making it harder and harder to build. We seem to have lost focus and vision, to have lowered our sights and let systems and structures and bureaucracies muddle us along.

But we are capable of so much more.

Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity.

As Vice President Vance said in a recent speech, the tradition of American innovation has been one of increasing the capacities of America’s workers, of extending human ability so that more people can do more, and, more meaningful work. But unrestricted immigration, and reliance on cheap labor both domestically and offshore, has been a substitute for improving productivity with technology.

We can build in new ways that let us do more with less, or we can borrow from the future. We have chosen to borrow from the future again and again. Our choice as a civilization is technology or debt. And we have chosen debt.

Today we choose a better way. (Read more: WhiteHouse.gov, 4/14/2025)  (Archive)

April 15, 2025 – Detroit-based healthcare agency Henry Ford Health is still performing transgender butchery on minors and tainting care with DEI policies

Michigan’s second-largest health system has deleted webpages promoting childhood transgenderism and DEI in an attempt to scrub its far-left footprints from the internet after conservative group Consumers’ Research launched a campaign against it on Monday, Breitbart News has learned.

In one deleted article on “how to support a transgender teen,” Henry Ford Health staff directed parents to “get help” to allow their child to transition.

“When they’re not allowed to transition, they may suffer from depression, anxiety, and an increased risk of inflicting self-harm,” the article explained.

“We’ve latched on to this idea that gender is fixed, but we know in medicine that exploring your identity as it relates to gender is a normal part of growing up,” Henry Ford pediatrician Dr. Maureen Connolly claimed.

Henry Ford Health touts itself as one of the few health systems that treats “any transgender individual,” including minors. A webpage that still remains live says services available “for adolescents” include harmful “puberty blockers” and “gender affirming hormones.”

(Credit: website clipping)

 

Another now-deleted page on the health agency’s website detailed its DEI efforts, stating that “diversity, equity and inclusion are woven into the fabric of everything we do.”

Kimberlydawn Wisdom, the agency’s senior vice president of “Community Health & Equity” and the “Chief Wellness & Diversity Officer,” believes that DEI is just the beginning.

“Diversity, equity, and inclusion are simply not enough. Diversity, equity, and inclusion alone can only mitigate the damage of the past,” she wrote in 2021. “To prevent the mistakes of the past from burdening our communities in the future, our ultimate destination must be justice.”

As part of its massive campaign to expose Henry Ford Health’s far-left bias, Consumers’ Research put together a website, FordHealthExposed.com, and mobile billboards running outside its hospitals in Detroit and Macomb County.

Images shared with Breitbart News also show stenciled sidewalk chalk messages around the Detroit location, as well as another billboard in Lansing, near the State Capitol.

“Henry Ford Health is prioritizing politics over patients. Driven by gender ideology, Henry Ford has continued performing deeply harmful and irreversible sex-change treatments on children and must be stopped,” Consumers’ Research executive director Will Hild told Breitbart News.

“The hospital’s deliberate mutilation of confused children’s bodies is being done in direct defiance of President Trump’s orders to eliminate the vile practice for good. Henry Ford Health has also committed to embedding DEI into every facet of its operation, elevating a radical ideological agenda above its fundamental duty to provide excellent scientific-based care,” he added.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the Department of Justice for alleged mortgage fraud.

“Based on media reports, Ms. Letitia James has, in multiple instances falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms,” wrote Bill Pulte, director of FHFA, to Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Pulte added: “This has potentially included 1) falsifying residence status for a Norfolk, Virginia-based home in order to secure a lower mortgage rate and 2) misrepresenting property descriptions to meet stringent requirements for government backed loans and government assistance.”

April 16, 2025 – Judge Boasberg ignores SCOTUS ruling, finds probable cause to hold Trump Admin in criminal contempt

April 16, 2025 – Schweizer: Trump’s pick to lead IRS is a ‘breath of fresh air,’ ‘real man of the people’

Former congressman Billy Long of Missouri, who famously deployed his skills as a professional auctioneer on the House floor during a debate, is President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Internal Revenue Service after its acting director Melanie Krause’s resignation over the administration’s effort to use tax information to identify people in the country illegally.

On the most recent episode of The Drill Down, co-hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers take a post-tax filing deadline look at the history of the IRS being used to go after political opponents.

Most recently, the Joe Biden administration sicced the IRS on journalist Matt Taibbi. After Taibbi testified about the Hunter Biden laptop in front of Congress, IRS investigators showed up at his door and hauled away several boxes of seized material. Taibbi has said it was done purely to intimidate him, and the boxes were returned a month later without being unsealed.

Franklin Roosevelt deployed the IRS against his nemesis, steel magnate Andrew Mellon in the 1930s. Richard Nixon turned the IRS loose on his political opponents in the 1970s. President Bill Clinton’s two sexual harassment accusers, Juanita Broadrick and Paula Jones, were both somehow targeted by IRS investigators for audits during the Clinton administration. Famously, Barack Obama used the IRS along with a bureaucrat named Lois Lerner to punish “Tea Party” organizations by denying their applications for tax-exempt status while granting it for left-wing dark-money groups in 2012 and 2013.

One of Lerner’s former top deputies, Holly Paz, is still there at the IRS and running one of its most important divisions — the Large Business and International Division. As Schweizer explains, this unit scrutinizes the tax returns of the roughly 100,000 businesses with assets worth more than $10 million.

Back in 2013 and working under Lerner, Paz participated in an internal IRS investigation relating to the agency’s discrimination against tea-party groups. She got in trouble for neglecting to mention that fact when testifying before Congress about the scheme. It was rumored at the time that she was fired but instead was placed on administrative leave. Marlon Paz, her husband, works for one of Washington’s most well-connected law firms, Schweizer notes.

(…) Schweizer says he thinks Billy Long will be a “breath of fresh air” at the IRS. “He’s a real man of the people,” Schweizer said. In the past, among other controversial opinions Long has said that he might favor dissolving the IRS or substituting a flat or fairer tax code to make tax obligations simpler to meet.

April 16, 2025 – Interview: Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Mike Benz discuss the recent steps taken to end government censorship

QUESTION: Mr. Secretary, thank you so much for being here with – sharing for the American people a very momentous day in the history of the State Department and the U.S. Government in restoring free speech and America’s role as the beacon of free speech. Something very historic transpired today.

Could you tell the American people what that was?

SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah. Well, we ended government-sponsored censorship in the United States through the State Department. And let me explain how we get there. This started out 15, 10 years ago with this effort of let’s go after the messaging that al-Qaida and ISIS and others are putting to radicalize people. And who’s going to be against that? That sounds normal. And then it was, like, in 2016, oh, we had this foreign interference in our election; we need to start targeting some of that stuff. By 2020 it had grown into this movement of, like, actually going after individual American voices.

And one of the ways that was being done wasn’t just directly. Because the guy that was running this thing, Stengel, was actually a guy that was out there saying: Donald Trump talks just like a Russian spy, he talks just like a terrorist, and so do the people around him. But they were also taking money from this program and using it to fund these NGOs, these third-party groups who were supposed to be, like, impartial. Those groups were then tagging – they were literally tagging and labeling voices in American politics – Ben Shapiro, The Federalist, others – tagging them as foreign agents.

So you look at it and say, American taxpayers, through the State Department, were paying groups to attack Americans and to try to silence the voice of Americans. And there were consequences. These weren’t just a label they put on people. Some of these people got deplatformed, they got taken down, they couldn’t communicate. So it was outrageous.

So before President Trump took over, they disbanded this unit. They just renamed it and moved it somewhere else. But now over the last few months we’ve worked on it and just taken it down, and to the extent we’re spending money now – we are going to spend money on messaging; it’s going to be pro-American messaging, and it’s going to be incentivizing and protecting free speech, which is threatened all over the world, including countries that are allies of ours.

The best way to counter disinformation – if that’s what people are thinking is out there – the best way to counter disinformation is free speech —

QUESTION: Yes.

SECRETARY RUBIO: — is to make sure that what’s true has as equal or greater opportunity to communicate as what’s not true. We’ve learned that the hard way. But when you turn disinformation into a weapon, a political weapon, a label that you can use to go after people you don’t like, and say, oh, anything that person’s saying is disinformation – well, listen, I read mainstream newspapers every day, or I watch mainstream broadcasts – mainstream broadcasts every day that I know are disinformation, okay? We have an issue right now. They keep calling it “Maryland man” deported to El Salvador. No, not “Maryland man” – El Salvador citizen deported to El Salvador. That’s disinformation. Every day I – a U.S. senator yesterday said that this guy was a kidnapped American citizen, and they published it in the article without any fact check. He’s not an American citizen.

So the important thing is that we have free speech so we can counter that, so we can say this is not true.

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: That’s the way you handle that. And – but we have instances now in Western countries where people are being arrested. You’ve seen this, I’m sure. You know what I’m talking about.

QUESTION: Yes, absolutely.

SECRETARY RUBIO: People out there, they put a post, and they – a cop comes knocking on their door: You’re going to go to jail for 60 days for posting something online.

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: This is crazy stuff that’s happening around the – and the Vice President addressed this in his speech at the Munich conference back in February.

QUESTION: Yes.

SECRETARY RUBIO: So we got a lot of work to do, but the most important thing is we’re going to make sure that as we communicate to the world it’s going to be pro-American – things that build up what this country’s working on and explaining what we’re doing, not attacking Americans who are exercising their First Amendment rights.

QUESTION: The classic work of the State Department in the 20th century.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah. (Laughter.)

QUESTION: And you mentioned this network that was paid through the State Department through grants and contracts. And my understanding is that network also targeted the Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy Darren Beattie, who I believe played an important role in this restructuring as well.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Right.

QUESTION: And credit to you and to the under secretary. One of the questions that remains – this is obviously amazing news, I think, to the entire American people about the defunding and the restructuring. There are lingering questions about what was done during that period, where we now have so many people wondering, was I censored because of something the State Department did?

SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah.

QUESTION: Was my news organization bankrupted? Were advertisers contacted about it? And there are aggrieved parties; there’s an important historical record that needs to be unearthed; there are active lawsuits. There are many reasons for a public disclosure effort on top of this development today. Are there any efforts underway to be able to have a kind of GEC files, as there were for the Twitter Files?

SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah. So I think what we have to do now – and Darren will be big involved in that as well – is sort of document what happened. Because one thing is to say it in a broadcast like this, another thing is to actually put it on paper. And there’s two reasons to do it. The first is because I think people who were harmed deserve to know that, and be able to prove that they were harmed; and then the other is to make sure it never happens again, right?

QUESTION: Exactly.

SECRETARY RUBIO: So that 10 years from now, when someone has a brilliant idea like this again – not-brilliant idea like this again – you can point to that and say, oh, this was done once before, and here’s the reason why we don’t. That’s why accountability is important in these things, because it doesn’t just provide justice and – but it also prevents it from happening in the future. You have something you can point to at the same time and say, these are the kinds of things we want to stay away from.

And it’s also a very important lesson here. If I take you back 15 years and I ask somebody, do you think we should be doing more to make sure ISIS and al-Qaida are not radicalizing people online, 15 years ago we would have said, yeah, of course.

QUESTION: Yes, right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: But look what that turned into.

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: And I’m not saying I’m – obviously we don’t want ISIS radicalizing everybody, but you have to understand that sometimes, some idea that starts out as innocuous or maybe even good intention, whatever, can metastasize, becomes a weapon that can be turned into something else by someone else. That’s a valuable lesson here. And everything we do, you have to understand that when you create something, what you created and what it turns into are not necessarily the same thing, especially when the people in charge change.

QUESTION: Right. A Frankensteinian monster that —

SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah, yeah, that’s right.

QUESTION: — takes on a life of its own. So then that is to say you can commit to the American public now that there will be a transparency effort to actually —

SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah, that’s already started, because I think as part of justifying doing all this, we had to document this, right?

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: So now I think there’s more in-depth, and we’ll create a process for people that sort of point – we already know some of the higher-profile ones, but there are more than higher-profile ones, right? There are a lot of other, including everyday, individual American citizens —

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: — who suddenly were labeled. And I think this is going to require some cross-jurisdictional work because some of it’s going to require us to go back and prove, okay, somebody got deplatformed in 2021, right?

QUESTION: Yeah.

SECRETARY RUBIO: And back in the middle of COVID – 2020. Someone got deplatformed, and tracking – we can prove that; people can show, hey, I got deplatformed by the old Facebook or by the old Twitter or whatever. But then linking that. So why were they deplatformed? Who told them to deplatform? And if we could somehow with internal review create a linkage between some information that came from something the State Department paid for and an actual aggrieved party, that’s what’s important.

Because I think that one thing is to point to the high-profile cases, which we’re aware of, but I think when people see that there were actually just individual, everyday Americans that were deplatformed and for whatever – silenced because somebody associated with this program identified them, I think that’s what’s really going to be eye-opening to a lot of people. But we didn’t want to wait for that to take action. We know enough to already act.

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: But we obviously want to know the depth and the scope of this. That’s going to happen. It’s already happening.

QUESTION: Right. This is a program that has been shrouded in secrecy. Journalists like Matt Taibbi have tried to FOIA for many of these grants and contracts and have encountered the stone wall. So this is, I think, amazing news.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah.

QUESTION: I know that you’re a very busy man, and appreciate all the time here. So the final question is on the international stage. As you are repositioning the State Department to have the U.S. once again be the global beacon for free speech and liberty, we face threats around the world from censorship laws coming out of the European Union, coming out of Brazil, coming out of really a network of countries that have taken the legitimacy of things like the Global Engagement Center and said, oh, it’s okay in the Western world to have media literacy programs, information integrity, mis/dis/malinformation programs. And many of those Global Engagement Center partner – ecosystem partners have been involved in the shaping of those foreign laws; many have – are actually – have been funded by the State Department and USAID, being signatories on the EU Code of Disinformation, implementing the EU Digital Services Act, which was threatened to be turned against Americans when Elon Musk famously had that X Space with Donald Trump during the election season.

So my question to you is: Is there any insights that you can provide to the American people about how the State Department is going to go about once again restoring free speech —

SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah.

QUESTION: — in a world where we are facing foreign threats from the European Union and Brazil and other places to Americans’ ability to talk to Americans?

SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah, so the first thing obviously is our number one priority is Americans. So we don’t want to see an American who happens to be living in London or happens to be living in Europe post something online about American politics or any politics, and all of a sudden they’re facing ramifications over there or they’re denied entry and something happens – “Oh, we’re denying them into our country or we’re going to arrest them because they posted something while living overseas.” So our number one interest is the impact that it has on Americans.

The broader point, which is the one I think the Vice President made very clear in Munich at the Security Conference – people freaked out about what he said, but it’s true. What is it that links us with Western Europe? What is it that links us with these – it’s our shared values. And one of those shared values, we hope, is freedom of expression. I know they don’t have a First Amendment, but freedom of expression, right? And if that is eroded – if suddenly these become places where people are targeted because of what they said or what their opinion is – then one of the pillars of our shared interest, beyond military cooperation or anything else, is under attack. And I think he made a very vibrant point that in some ways you are attacking – by attacking freedom of expression, you are attacking one of the pillars of our shared interest, our shared culture, our shared values.

And so I think – we raise that. We’ve raised that. I mean, I can tell you we were at a Oval Office meeting with the prime minister of the United Kingdom, and this issue came up. So this has been raised. It becomes part of our diplomatic —

QUESTION: Yeah.

SECRETARY RUBIO: — situation that we raise when we interact with foreign interlocutors. I think what’s troubling is we understand, like, that’s always going to be an issue when you – certain countries around the world. But when you’re dealing with Western European allies and that’s who you’re talking to about this stuff, it really tells you how far it’s gone and how big a problem. And so that’s a new thing for us to have to raise in those capitals, but we do it and we do it everywhere. And I personally witnessed the President and the Vice President raise it with multiple —

QUESTION: Yes.

SECRETARY RUBIO: — foreign leaders. And I think you’re going to continue to see an emphasis on that in our diplomacy and what we talk about.

QUESTION: That’s fantastic. And I think the actions today will send a message to those foreign bodies that what was done for a very brief period here really in the scope of our history is not a legitimate way to pursue international laws. So – and just on the EU Digital Services Act, I’d feel remiss if I didn’t mention that the EU commissioning body there threatened Elon Musk, a non-EU citizen, talking to Donald Trump —

SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah.

QUESTION: — a non-EU citizen —

SECRETARY RUBIO: During the campaign in October.

QUESTION: — running for President.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah.

QUESTION: And threatened them specifically not to talk about the unrest – the street protests in the UK at the time. The UK is no longer a member of the EU. So the EU is threatening – and today, they’re now – we’re hearing they’re threatening a billion dollars in fines against X for noncompliance with disinformation. And we’ve seen the head of their commission target non-EU citizens talking to non-EU citizens about non-EU territories. And so this is just one of these things – as this code becomes mandatory in July – to know that the State Department is focused on protecting free speech both within and without is, I think, an important thing.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Well, just beyond Elon, if a country or a group of countries in the case of the EU – although it considers itself sort of a country because these countries have given over a significant amount of sovereignty in order to become a member of the EU – when you have foreign entities taking actions that go after Americans for speech —

QUESTION: Yes.

SECRETARY RUBIO: — that becomes a foreign policy irritant for the United States, and more than an irritant. It becomes an impediment in some cases to cooperate when they’re going – not just after a high-profile person like Elon, but anybody for that matter. I mean, I think if you extend this out, you could see it threatening commentators, threatening people that are opining about world events, potentially threatening office holders in the United States.

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: I mean, so what if – what if an American political figure, on the left or right, criticized something that was happening in Europe – imagine right now if all these people freaking out over Bukele in El Salvador were suddenly being threatened by some Western Hemisphere version of the EU – oh, we’re going to come after you because you’re attacking the President of El Salvador. The left would be freaking out.

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: So I think that this is a very legitimate issue for us to raise as a bilateral or in this case with the EU irritant in our foreign policy. It has to become part of one of the things that we raise when we interact with them about the impact this is having on American citizens. At the end of the day, the number one priority of the State Department is to serve the national interest of the United States and the interest of the American people. We work for the American people.

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: It’s the United States Department of State.

QUESTION: Yes.

SECRETARY RUBIO: So that – we need to return that principle in everything we do, including this.

QUESTION: Right. And this is such a fair and frankly merciful way of doing this as well. You don’t – it sounds like you don’t want the power to go after the other side for misinformation and things like this. So —

SECRETARY RUBIO: Oh, we would be here all day.

QUESTION: No —

SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah, I mean, we could – I could build a whole building to go after that.

QUESTION: Right. Exactly.

SECRETARY RUBIO: But the best way to do it is just to say they’re lying; here’s the truth.

QUESTION: Right. Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: That’s why we have things like this today.

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: And that’s why we’re able to interact with you and others. That’s the best way to do it. And it’s annoying; don’t get me wrong. I mean, they say things that aren’t true. Every day stuff is leaked in the press that’s reported on as fact, and it’s not fact.

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Or stuff is reported and commentary – not – look, commentators say what they want. Mainstream newspapers and mainstream media outlets report things as fact that are completely not true. So our approach to that is not shut them down, not fine them.

QUESTION: (Inaudible). Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Right. Our approach to that is to say they’re lying; here’s the truth.

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: It’s harder. It’s annoying. But that’s the best way to do it. If you don’t do it that way, then you recognize that some day in the future if you create this power to shut that down, someone in my position will do it to us.

QUESTION: Right.

SECRETARY RUBIO: And I just think that begins to devolve very rapidly, as we’ve seen with this experiment that they did.

QUESTION: You’re putting the censorship gun down, and the American people are incredibly grateful for it. So thank you so much for making the time today.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Well, it was the right thing to do. Thank you, and thanks for your attention to this topic. I know you’ve been on this a long time.

QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

April 18, 2025 – White House rips Fauci in revamped COVID-19 website detailing virus’s ‘true origins’

The White House has revamped the COVID-19 guidance page, which now states the likely origin of the virus was a lab leak involving gain-of-function research.

The website features the heading “Lab Leak,” with a subheading of “The True Origins of COVID-19.” The White House lists five key points regarding the coronavirus’s genesis:

  1. “The virus posses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.
  2. “Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.”
  3. Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering and organism supercharging) at inadequate biosafety levels.”
  4. “Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.”
  5. “By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.” [emphases original]

The website also challenges “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” publication, which asserted that the virus originated organically.

“’The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2′ publication — which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory — was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated in nature,” the website states.

April 21, 2025 – Jamie Raskin vows vengeance on foreign leaders who work with Trump and his administration

 

Putting partisan politics far above patriotism (if he has any), top Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin is outright threatening vengeance on foreign leaders who work with the Trump administration.

Yes, he washes it through rhetoric about fighting “authoritarianism in our country,” but that’s simply cover for goonish threats.

Raskin (D-Md.) issued it on the “Pod Save America” podcast, after progressive host Tommy Vietor cited (surely left-wing) Latin America experts as urging Democrats to warn off “any foreign government that participates in the extraordinary rendition of American citizens.”

Reality check: No one is proposing any “extraordinary rendition of American citizens.”

Democrats keep trying to confuse people into thinking Team Trump is doing that, as cover for their efforts to fight the administration’s deportations of illegal migrants — which is not remotely authoritarian.

Naturally, Raskin ran with Vietor’s implied point, specifically pointing to El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele as someone Dems “are not going to look kindly upon” “when we come back to power — and we will.”

His complaint is that Bukele refuses to send Kilmar Abrego Garcia (a Salvadoran citizen) back to the United States.

Abrego Garcia has never had any legal right to be here, though the Trumpies erred in sending him home without clearing an outdated 2019 order that said he could be deported, but not to El Salvador because he claimed a gang there was gunning for him.

(Bukele has eviscerated all the Salvadoran gangs, infuriating US “Latin America experts” of the kind Vietor surely relies on.)

Raskin’s also plainly peeved that Bukele is assisting the Trump “deport violent-criminal illegal migrants” efforts, but that’s still no reason to issue threats to a foreign prez.  (Read more: New York Post, 4/21/2025) (Archive)

April 22, 2025 – Texas Judge blows the whistle on ACLU lawyer for breaking The Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges in an ex-parte communication

(Credit: Revolver News)

There’s a reason conservatives have been screaming from the rooftops about lawfare. What we’re seeing in courtrooms across the country isn’t just legal activism—it’s straight-up manipulation and injustice. The left is no longer trying to win in the court of public opinion. That’s out the window. Now, they’re trying to literally rig the legal process from the inside out, and now we’ve got more proof, and investigative reporter Julie Kelly is calling it all out.

In Texas, a federal judge is blasting the weaponized ACLU for crossing way over the line—and not just once.

The case in question involves the Alien Enemies Act and the left-wing push to block deportations of Venezuelan nationals and the left’s precious gangbangers. But instead of sticking to the courtroom, it looks like the ACLU lawyer tried to take a sneaky shortcut… by picking up the phone and actually calling the judge directly.

Julie Kelly has all the sorted details.

Judge James Wesley Hendrix (Credit: public domain)

It all started when the judge blew the whistle on the ACLU Lawyer for breaking the court’s rules.

Judge James Hendrix didn’t mince words. After denying an emergency motion to stop deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, he was contacted directly—by phone—by ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt. That kind of move is called ex parte communication, and it’s strictly forbidden for a reason: it’s sneaky, improper, and gives one side an unfair advantage. So, of course the left would pull that move, right?

Judge Hendrix not only documented the call but also raised the question of whether Gelernt pulled the same move with another judge—good ol’ Jeb Boasberg—about a month ago in a nearly identical case.

Red flags are flying everywhere.

Julie Kelly:

WHOO BOY: In an order filed last night, Judge James Hendrix–the judge in Texas presiding over latest Alien Enemies Act case which prompted unprecedented intervention by SCOTUS–accused ACLU atty of violating federal code of conduct rules by calling his chambers AFTER Hendrix denied the 1st emergency temp restraining order on April 17. This was noted on the docket after Hendrix filed his order. Now it makes me wonder if Lee Gelernt did not do exactly the same thing with Judge Jeb Boasberg–which could explain Boasberg’s quick action on March 15. This is not allowed:

It turns out Gelernt left a voicemail asking Judge Hendrix to talk and issue a broader ruling that would cover not just the two immigrants in question but any immigrant who is impacted by the Alien Enemies Act. Keep in mind that the government already agreed not to deport those two particular individuals—but the ACLU wanted to expand the case and strong-arm the judge into going along with their plan.

Thankfully, Obama-appointed Judge Hendrix held the line. He refused.

So what did the ACLU do?

Well, they appealed his ruling, took it to a higher court, and yanked the case out from under him.

Now, everybody wants to know how many other calls like this Gelernt has made. Julie Kelly goes on:

Here is the voicemail from Gelernt.

What are the chances he left the same message with Boasberg in the wee hours of March 15? In fact (and I will look at transcript), I believe Boasberg admitted to being “in communication” with ACLU prior to issuing any order or setting hearings.

Hendrix denied the emergency motion bc Trump adm said the 2 anonymous Venezuelan illegals cited in the lawsuit would not be removed. But–just like in the Boasberg case–that was not enough.

ACLU was demanding the case be converted into a class action suit covering ANYONE in the jurisdiction that might be subject to the Alien Enemies Act–which is what Boasberg did before his “return the planes” stunt.

ACLU was hoping for same outcome here. Hendrix was not playing their game. Even so, he was advancing the suit on Good Friday–but that wasn’t good enough for ACLU, which is used to running roughshod over the courts.

They immediately appealed, taking the matter out of Hendrix’s hands. Then they cried to SCOTUS, who bailed ACLU (and the illegals) out.

SCOTUS just got involved in what looks like a very dirty case from the start. Good to see at least one judge stand up for himself and for the process. (Read more: Revolver News, 4/22/2025)  (Archive)

April 22, 2025 – Dershowitz: Harvard Law doesn’t focus on principle, morality and neutrality; Produces people like Schiff, Raskin, and Warren

 

On Tuesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz stated that “places like Harvard Law School don’t emphasize principle, morality, and neutrality. It’s all about who wins today.” And that produces people like Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD).

After host Greta Van Susteren referenced past Democratic support for packing the Supreme Court and how if they had done so, it would give President Donald Trump the ability to pack the court, Dershowitz stated, “It just shows you these are such short-sighted, results-oriented, partisan, do it for me now people. They wouldn’t understand a point of principle if they fell over it. These are people who just want to get their way today and tomorrow and not worry about principled decisions or about what the implications could be. If we start packing the court, we’ll never stop packing the court.”

Van Susteren then referenced Schiff and said he was dishonest about Russian collusion, Dershowitz responded, “And it’s all Harvard’s fault.” He then laughed before continuing, “These are my former students. Adam Schiff went to Harvard Law School. Jamie Raskin was in my class. Elizabeth Warren was my colleague for so many years. The problem is that places like Harvard Law School don’t emphasize principle, morality, and neutrality. It’s all about who wins today. And when you educate your people that way, don’t expect anything different. We are no longer a principled nation who make decisions based on neutral, objective principles that are enduring. People like Jefferson and Madison will be turning over in their grave[s] when they see what has happened to today’s Congress. It’s just a shame. And the losers are the American people.” (Video here: Breitbart News, 4/22/2025)  (Archive)

April 22, 2025 – Stephen Miller rips SCOTUS for blocking deportation of criminal illegal aliens and sets the record straight on birthright citizenship

@StephenM opened by absolutely ripping into SCOTUS for its 7–2 ruling that blocked the deportation of violent Venezuelan gang members tied to Tren de Aragua—an organization he said operates under orders from Maduro’s regime.

“You have in this case, illegal aliens from Venezuela,” he said.

“Sent here by Maduro, who are members of a foreign terrorist organization… carrying out criminal enterprises to destabilize the political system in United States.”

“They’re all illegal. They’re all gang members. They’re all foreign terrorists.”

But instead of being expelled?

“We are being told they cannot be expelled from our country without an extraordinary amount of individualized adjudication, at the district court, circuit court, Supreme Court—up and down, up and down, up and down.”

Then came the gut punch:

“No American citizen receives this level of so-called due process—because it isn’t due process. This is called infinity process to keep you here forever.”

That’s when Miller laid into the double standard—how foreign criminals get luxury treatment, and American citizens get steamrolled.

“No American citizen charged with a crime—with a serious crime inside the United States, a U.S.-born American citizen—receives this kind of process. Millions of dollars in free legal services. Representation at every single level.”

And if you think the courts treated J6 defendants the same?

“Do you think that there is any American citizen who was persecuted, who was innocent, related to January 6th—do you think they could just get this kind of relief? This kind of process? It was NEVER available to them.”

He didn’t stop there.

“How many pressing constitutional issues have been swept aside that American CITIZENS need resolve—who are being persecuted by left wing mayors, left wing governors, left wing bureaucrats, who actually need relief,” Miller said.

How many? This is unfathomable.

“How many of their concerns have been swept aside? So our entire judicial system can spend hour after hour, week after week, month after month, scrutinizing every single last detail of a deportation of an invader sent here by a foreign government!”

That’s when Miller dropped what may be his fiercest claim of all time: Birthright citizenship is the biggest scam in American history.

This quickly turned into an exposé that will make your blood boil.

“Birthright citizenship is the biggest, costliest scam in financial history,” he said.

He explained how foreign nationals game the system by arriving pregnant:

“An illegal alien can come here nine months pregnant or on a tourist visa… have a baby. That baby is then declared an automatic citizen, which then entitles the entire family to come here and live here, and every one of them can get welfare.”

“Yes, they can get unlimited welfare, applying as the custodian of this citizen, so-called child.”

But to Miller, it’s not just a welfare issue—it’s a national security threat.

“See, we can keep out a foreign spy who has a Visa… But what happens when a foreign government uses this ridiculous birthright scam in order to create automatic citizens who then grow up as assets of a foreign government?”

“So it’s a major national security threat.”

He dismantled the legal basis behind it:

“The 14th Amendment… was ratified for the CHILDREN of FREED SLAVES… The idea that this was meant to provide illegal alien children with automatic citizenship——Do you really think that in the 19th century… they passed an amendment to say that people Congress has forbidden from entering here can have automatic children, citizens?”

His closing line?

“No human being who suggests it should be taken seriously.”

DRAINING THE DEEP STATE: DoD Branch Chief Calls President Trump “Illegitimate,” Vows to “Resist Him, Everything He Does,” Claims Pete Hegseth Is “Insanely Young” and Unfit to Lead: “Nobody I Know Should Be the Secretary of Defense”

“The same guy who tried to overthrow an election is just, like, truly setting us down a path of dictatorship.”

“I think they [Government] don’t care who they hurt.”

“We could be facing a worst-case scenario,” said Nicolas Turza, a Branch Chief at the Department of Defense (@DeptofDefense), during an undercover date with an OMG journalist. Turza, whose role places him in a position of influence within the Pentagon, openly expressed opposition to the Commander-in-Chief.

Referring to President Trump (@realDonaldTrump), Turza stated, “The same guy who tried to overthrow an election is just, like, truly setting us down a path of dictatorship. He’s illegitimate. He’s terribly immoral, breaking every norm. We’re going to resist him. Everything he does.”

He added, “I’m a very patriotic person, and I’ve never been less patriotic.”

Turza also criticized Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (@SecDef), saying, “This is insane… That’s not a good reflection on me. That’s a bad reflection on Trump… Nobody I know should be the Secretary of Defense.” He questioned Hegseth’s qualifications, calling him “insanely young to be the part” and adding, “he wasn’t that high up in the military.”

Discussing the Pentagon’s culture under the current administration, Turza revealed, “I think they don’t care who they hurt… They do a lot of the things that they do to enact a change that they see is making America in a populist, conservative framework that is more traditional, even if that means being sexist or racist or chauvinist.”

When asked his personal opinion of the president, Turza didn’t hold back: “The worst thing about him is his utter lack of moral principle… The second worst thing about him is how stupid he could be.”
OMG has reached out to the Department of Defense and Nicolas Turza for comment.

UPDATE 4/24/2025

April 23, 2025 – Harmeet Dhillon upends DOJ’s Civil Rights Division with new priorities

BREAKING: “Bloodbath” at DOJ Civil Rights Division as Harmeet Dhillon cleans house — NBC News

-Career officials are melting down.

The Trump administration has forced out a majority of career managers and implemented new priorities.

-More than a dozen senior lawyers have been reassigned.

-Some have resigned in frustration after being moved to “less desirable roles unrelated to their expertise.”

-The division is now charged with pursuing priorities laid out in a series of Trump’s executive orders, including “Keeping Men out of Women’s Sports” and “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling.”

-“These documents appear to have been created in a vacuum completely divorced from reality,” a former official whined. “This is a 180 shift from the division’s traditional mission.”

-Many section chiefs have been transferred to roles unrelated to their legal backgrounds, including in the complaint adjudication office and the office that handles public records requests. 😂

-“I was there almost 18 years, and what’s happening now is basically the opposite of what we’ve been doing,” whined one veteran lawyer who recently left the department.

-“They are withdrawing everything we’ve done and taking the opposite side on voting rights, for example,” whined a recently departed Civil Division lawyer.

-Dhillon’s memo outlines new priorities, including “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism,” “Restoring Merit Based Opportunity” and “Designating English as the Official Language of the United States.”

-The “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias” task force will be a focus. “The Biden administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses,” Pam Bondi said at a meeting of the new task force.

April 24, 2025 – Former New Mexico Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife are arrested for harboring illegal Venezuelan gang member

A former New Mexico judge and his wife allegedly tried to hide incriminating images and videos of an illegal immigrant believed to be a member of Venezuela’s notorious Tren de Aragua gang and harbored other migrants, the Justice Department said Friday.

Former Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano, 68, and his wife, Nancy Cano, 67, were arrested Thursday after federal agents raided their Las Cruces home. The pair face charges of evidence tampering amid allegations they harbored Cristhian Ortega-Lopez.

“Judges are responsible for upholding our country’s laws. It is beyond egregious for a former judge and his wife to engage in evidence tampering on behalf of a suspected Tren de Aragua gang member accused of illegally possessing firearms,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison.

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to dismantling this foreign terrorist organization by disrupting its criminal operations in New Mexico. That starts by prosecuting those who support gang members — including judges.”

Ortega-Lopez was put on the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) radar after a tipster said he was in the U.S. illegally and had guns. He initially entered the country Dec. 15, 2023, near Eagle Pass, Texas. He was taken into custody and released due to overcrowding at the U.S. Border Patrol facility.

Ortega-Lopez apparently posted multiple images and videos on social media showing him with other illegal immigrants handling guns at a shooting range in Las Cruces, federal prosecutors said. Among the weapons were a SIG Sauer P365 pistol, an AR-15 rifle equipped with a suppressor and other high-powered guns and ammunition.

His social media activity revealed content suggesting ties with the Venezuelan gang, including gang-related tattoos, hand gestures and clothing, prosecutors said. He also mocked a $5,000 reward to catch TdA members, Attorney General Pam Bondi said.

Among the images were also two people who were decapitated, she said.

In January, federal agents received a tip that Ortega-Lopez was living with other illegal immigrants on a property belonging to Cano, who was still a judge at the time, and his wife.

Authorities seized four guns during a Feb. 28 search of the property.

The four guns, along with three cellphones belonging to Ortega-Lopez, were seized, and he was arrested. During the search, Ortega-Lopez was allowed to make a phone call before being taken to the Doña Ana County Detention Center (DACDC).

He told the agents that the phone he wanted to use was not among the devices recovered. Video calls from DACDC later showed Nancy Cano holding a black iPhone believed to be Ortega’s fourth phone, prosecutors said.

During a March 7 call with Ortega-Lopez, Nancy Cano allegedly used the device to contact someone named “Michelle” via WhatsApp, before facilitating a FaceTime call between Michelle and Ortega-Lopez using her personal phone.

In an April 20 call, Nancy Cano and Ortega-Lopez discussed deleting his Facebook account, which he allegedly used to share incriminating content, including gang affiliations and images with guns.

On April 24, federal agents searched the Cano home to locate Ortega-Lopez’s missing phone. During questioning, Joel Cano admitted smashing the device with a hammer five weeks earlier because he believed it contained incriminating photos and videos of Ortega-Lopez with guns, and throwing it into a dumpster, said Bondi.

A forensic analysis of the recovered phones revealed messages linked to Ortega’s alleged criminal activities, including links with the TdA gang and images of him with guns, authorities said.

Joel and Nancy Cano face up to 15 years in prison. (Read more: Fox News, 4/25/2025) (Archive)

April 24, 2025 – Newly-declassified McCabe memos show how disgraced FBI leader kept Trump-Russia collusion hoax alive in 2017

Newly-declassified memos written by disgraced FBI official Andrew McCabe shine new light on how he kept the Trump-Russia collusion hoax investigation alive during a critical period in the first half of 2017 before he got it handed off to a special counsel.

The eight memos penned by McCabe, most of which had never been released until earlier this month, span his discussions and meetings (including with President Donald Trump) held from January 24, 2017 to May 21, 2017 — a critical time period ranging from just before the FBI sprung an interview on retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn to just after Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel. The memos were more fully declassified through efforts by Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel earlier this month.

(…)

January 24, 2017 — Mike Flynn’s call with McCabe

McCabe created his first memo related to a discussion he had with Flynn just before he was interviewed by FBI agents on January 24, 2017. Versions of the memo were previously released with various redactions in 2019 and 2020, but the version released this month has the fewest redactions yet.

The FBI had been plotting how to potentially prosecute Flynn related to his December 2016 call with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, including potentially under the Logan Act.

McCabe said that “I told LTG Flynn that I had a sensitive matter to discuss. I explained that in light of the significant media coverage and public discussion about his recent contacts with Russian representatives, that Director Comey and I felt that we needed to have two of our agents sit down with the General and hear from him the details of those conversations. LTG Flynn asked if I was referring to his contacts with the Russian Ambassador to the United States, and indicated that I was.”

McCabe said in his memo that Flynn explained that he had been trying to “build relationships” with the Russians, and that he had calls in which he “exchanged condolences.” McCabe said Flynn then stated that McCabe probably knew what was said in these calls because “you listen to everything they say.”

McCabe said of his talk with Flynn that “I reiterated that in light of everything that has been said about these contacts, the important thing now was for us to hear directly from him what he said and how he felt about the conversations.”

Comey later admitted in 2018 that he took advantage of the chaos in the early days of Trump’s administration when he sent FBI special agents Peter Strzok and Joseph Pientka to talk to Flynn.

“I sent them,” Comey said to MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace, prompting laughter in the audience. “Something I probably wouldn’t have done or maybe gotten away with in … a more organized administration. In the George W. Bush administration, for example, or the Obama administration.”

“In both of those administrations, there was process, and so, if the FBI wanted to send agents into the White House itself to interview a senior official, you would work through the White House counsel, and there’d be discussions and approvals and who would be there, and I thought, it’s early enough — let’s just send a couple guys over,” Comey added.

Strzok overjoyed that Flynn case not closed

 The Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the Flynn case in May 2020 stated that Strzok learned in early January 2017 that the Flynn case had not been closed despite the lack of evidence for keeping it open, and relayed the “serendipitously good” news to McCabe’s special assistant Lisa Page, with whom Strzok was having an affair. Strzok remarked that “our utter incompetence actually helps us.” Strzok then instructed FBI agents to “keep it open for now” at the behest of “the 7th Floor” of the bureau.

The DOJ said that “the FBI kept open its counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn based solely on his calls with Kislyak — the only new information to arise since the FBI’s determination to close the case.” McCabe did not tell Flynn that he was being interviewed by the FBI as part of an investigation targeting the Trump campaign.

McCabe said in his memo that “LTG Flynn questioned how so much information had been made public and asked if we thought it had been leaked” and “I replied that we were quite concerned about what we perceived as significant leaks and that we were in the process of completing a referral to the Department of Justice requesting authority to initiate a leak investigation.” McCabe said that “I further indicated that these cases were hard to prove but that we thought the significance of this situation demanded a thorough review.”

The leaks begin

Flynn’s communications with Ambassador Kislyak were leaked to the media in early 2017. Republicans have alleged since 2017 that Obama-era officials improperly unmasked associates of then-candidate Donald Trump’s presidential campaign during the Russia collusion investigation. Democrats defended the intelligence-gathering process.

Washington Post column in mid-January 2017 contained classified details that set off a media frenzy. Citing a “senior U.S. government official,” it said Flynn and Kislyak spoke on the phone in December 2016, the day former President Barack Obama announced actions against Russia, and suggested Flynn had violated the archaic Logan Act. A follow-up article by the Washington Post in early February 2017 revealed classified details from Flynn’s monitored calls with Kislyak, citing “nine current and former officials” in “senior positions at multiple agencies.”

John Bash, ​​the U.S. attorney tasked in 2020 with investigating the “unmasking” scandal, concluded that Flynn’s name had not even been hidden to begin with when the FBI shared information across the Obama administration.

The leakers of the Flynn calls were never found.

McCabe said in his memo that he told Flynn that it would not be a good idea for Flynn to have a lawyer present when he was questioned by the FBI that afternoon.

“I explained to LTG Flynn that my desire was to have two of my agents interview him as quickly, quietly, and discretely as possible. He agreed and offered to meet with the agents today,” McCabe wrote. “I explained that I thought the quickest way to get this done was to have a conversation between him and the agents only. I further stated that if LTG Flynn wished to include anyone else in the meeting, like the White House Counsel for instance, that  would need to involve the Department of Justice. He stated that this would not be necessary and agreed to meet with the agents without any additional participants.”

William Barnett, the FBI agent who handled Flynn’s case in 2016 and 2017, called the Trump-Russia investigation “Collusion Clue” and argued many investigators were out to “get Trump.”

Top FBI officials had discussed the possibility of prosecuting Flynn for lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russians as agents planned how to conduct their January 2017 interview of the Trump national security adviser, bureau notes show.

“I agreed yesterday that we shouldn’t show Flynn [REDACTED] if he didn’t admit” but “I thought about it last night and I believe we should rethink this,” Bill Priestap, the FBI’s head of counterintelligence, wrote in January 2017. “What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?”

Obama White House kept tabs on Flynn

An email that Obama national security adviser Susan Rice sent herself detailing an early January 2017 Oval Office meeting was declassified in 2020, revealing just how focused the outgoing Obama administration was on Flynn.

“Director Comey affirmed that he is processing ‘by the book’ as it relates to law enforcement. From a national security perspective, Comey said he does have some concerns that incoming NSA Flynn is speaking frequently with Russian ambassador Kislyak. Comey said that could be an issue as it relates to sharing sensitive information,” Rice wrote.

Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates told Mueller’s team that she first learned the FBI possessed and was investigating recordings of Flynn’s conversations following an early January 2017 national security meeting at the White House, and that it was Obama — not Comey — who told her about it.

Obama “started by saying that he had ‘learned of the information about Flynn’ and his conversation with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak,” Yates said, according to FBI notes. “Obama specified he did not want any additional information on the matter but was seeking information on whether the White House should be treating Flynn any differently.”

Yates told investigators that “at that point,” she “had no idea what the President was talking about.” She “recalled Comey mentioning the Logan Act” but could not remember if Comey specifically said there was an “investigation.”

Handwritten notes by Strzok released by the Justice Department in 2020 seem to quote then-Vice President Joe Biden directly raising the “Logan Act” related to Flynn, according to an apparent conversation Strzok had with Comey after an early January 2017 White House meeting. Strzok wrote that Comey said the Flynn-Kislyak calls “appear legit.” Obama emphasized that “the right people” should look into Flynn.

The task fell to Comey, McCabe, and Strzok.

The Flynn-Kislyak call and the FBI interview

The transcript of the call between Flynn and Kislyak — which occurred on December 29, 2016 — was declassified in 2020.

One transcript portion stated: “Flynn wants to convey the following [to Moscow]: Do not allow this [Obama] administration to box us in right now! Kislyak says they have conveyed it very clearly.”

“So, depending on what actions they take over this current issue of cyber stuff, where they are looking like they are going to dismiss some number of Russians out of the country. I understand all that and I understand that the information that they have and all that. But I ask Russia to do is to not, if anything, I know you have to have some sort of action, to only make it reciprocal; don’t go any further than you have to because I don’t want us to get into something that have to escalate to tit-for-tat. Do you follow me?” the transcript says Flynn said, with the transcript adding that “Kislyak says he understands what Flynn is saying, but Flynn might appreciate the sentiments that are raging now in Moscow.”

The transcript stated that Flynn said that “I really do not want us to get into the situation where we everybody goes back and forth and everybody had to be a tough guy here. We don’t need that right now. We need cool heads to prevail. And we need to be very steady about what we are going to do because we have absolutely a common threat in the Middle East.”

“Kislyak agrees. Now when FSB and GRU are sanctioned and Kislyak asks himself, does it mean that the U.S. is not willing to work on terrorist threats, Kislyak poses a question. Flynn says, yes. Kislyak says he heard Flynn and he will try people in Moscow to understand. Flynn repeats asking to reciprocate moderately,” the transcript stated.

The transcript added that Flynn also said, “Let’s keep this at even-kill level; then when we come in, we will have a better conversation where we are going to go regarding our relationship.”

The FBI’s notes of the interview of Flynn by Strzok and Pientka on January 24, 2017 were also released in a further declassified form this month. The interview occurred just a few hours after McCabe’s call with Flynn.

The FBI notes state: “FLYNN expanded that he had no particular affinity for Russia, but that KISLYAK was his counterpart, and maintaining trusted relationships within foreign governments is important.”

The notes state that “the interviewing agents asked FLYNN if he recalled any conversation with KISLYAK surrounding the expulsion of Russian diplomats or the closing of Russian properties in response to Russian hacking activities surrounding the election. FLYNN stated that he did not.”

The FBI notes also state that “the interviewing agents asked FLYNN if he recalled any conversation with KISLYAK in which the expulsions were discussed, where FLYNN might have encouraged KISLYAK not to escalate the situation, to keep the Russian response reciprocal,” or not to engage in a “tit-for-tat.” The FBI notes say that Flynn responded, “Not really. I don’t remember. It wasn’t ‘Don’t do anything.’”

Strzok was a key player throughout the FBI’s deeply flawed Crossfire Hurricane investigation — including writing the opening communication that launched the inquiry.

Pientka had conducted the FBI’s first counterintelligence briefing of then-candidate Trump in August 2016 at its New York field office — and the briefing had been used as a “pretext” to gather evidence on him and Flynn, according to 2019 testimony from DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz.

“They sent a supervisory agent to the briefing from the Crossfire Hurricane team, and that agent prepared a report to the file of the briefing about what Mr. Trump and Mr. Flynn said,” Horowitz testified. “So the agent was actually doing the briefing but also using it for the purpose of investigation.”

It was Strzok who signed off on Pientka’s summary of that pretextual briefing.

The interview by Strzok and Pientka with Flynn in January 2017 would soon be leveraged by McCabe and the FBI to facilitate the firing of Flynn — and to underpin a prosecution.

Trump DOJ later points out flaws with FBI’s Flynn interview

The Trump Justice Department later pointed out significant problems with how McCabe and the rest of the FBI leadership had handled the Flynn affair.

“FBI Director Comey took the position that the FBI would not notify the incoming Trump administration of the Flynn-Kislyak communications. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and other senior DOJ officials took the contrary view and believed that the incoming administration should be notified,” the DOJ said in 2020. “Deputy Attorney General Yates and another senior DOJ official became ‘frustrated’ when Director Comey’s justifications for withholding the information from the Trump administration repeatedly ‘morphed,’ vacillating from the potential compromise of a ‘counterintelligence’ investigation to the protection of a purported ‘criminal’ investigation.”

The DOJ said in 2020 that the morning of January 24, 2017 — right around when McCabe held his call with Flynn — Yates contacted Comey “to demand that the FBI notify the White House of the communications” but that “Comey did not initially return her call” — and when Comey called Yates back later that day, Comey “advised her that the FBI agents were already on their way to the White House to interview Mr. Flynn.” Yates said she was “flabbergasted” and “dumbfounded” while other senior DOJ officials “hit the roof” upon hearing of this development, given that “an interview of Flynn should have been coordinated with DOJ.”

But the machinations by McCabe and Comey ensured the FBI interview of Flynn happened the way they wanted.

Strzok and Pientka “didn’t show him the transcripts” of his calls when interviewing Flynn, the DOJ said, “nor did the agents give, at any point, warnings that making false statements would be a crime.”

And the DOJ said that “after the interview, the FBI agents expressed uncertainty as to whether Mr. Flynn had lied.” The DOJ wrote that Strzok and Pientka “had the impression at the time that Flynn was not lying or did not think he was lying.” And even Comey had his doubts about whether Flynn had even lied, saying, “I don’t know. I think there is an argument to be made he lied. It is a close one.”

“With its counterintelligence investigation no longer justifiably predicated, the communications between Mr. Flynn and Mr. Kislyak — the FBI’s sole basis for resurrecting the investigation on January 4, 2017 — did not warrant either continuing that existing counterintelligence investigation or opening a new criminal investigation,” the Trump DOJ determined in 2020. “The calls were entirely appropriate on their face. Mr. Flynn has never disputed that the calls were made. Indeed, Mr. Flynn, as the former Director of Defense Intelligence Agency, would have readily expected that the FBI had known of the calls — and told FBI Deputy Director McCabe as much.”

The Trump DOJ added: “The Government does not believe it could prove that Mr. Flynn knowingly and willfully made a false statement beyond a reasonable doubt. … The Government is not persuaded that the January 24, 2017 interview was conducted with a legitimate investigative basis and therefore does not believe Mr. Flynn’s statements were material even if untrue.”

Yet the FBI interview with Flynn would help end his brief tenure as national security adviser, and would result in his prosecution.

January 31, 2017 — McCabe talks to Bannon in the West Wing

McCabe wrote another memo about a meeting in the West Wing, accompanied by FBI official Bill Priestap, with then-White House official Steve Bannon on January 31, 2017.

The McCabe memo stated that “the purpose of the meeting was to discuss a piece of intelligence regarding Eugene Chin Yu, who claimed to be under consideration by Mr. Bannon for a position as Special Envoy to North Korea or the United States Ambassador to South Korea.” But the meeting soon led to a discussion about Trump and Comey.

“Mr. Bannon requested that he be given an opportunity to speak to me privately, and Mr. Priestap left the room. Mr. Bannon then mentioned that President Trump told him that he had a positive experience dining with Director Comey last Friday night and he inquired about whether the Director mentioned it to me,” McCabe wrote. “I replied that Director Comey was also very positive about their engagement. Mr. Bannon stated that he thought it was important to put the two men together to find out if Director Comey wished to stay in his position and whether President Trump wanted to retain him.”

McCabe later told Mueller’s team in September 2017 that he had essentially lied to Bannon, with the FBI’s notes of its interview with McCabe stating that “McCabe knew Comey did not have a good time, but answered that way in order to ‘move the issue off the table.’”

“Mr. Bannon explained that President Trump wished to be very supportive of law enforcement and to the FBI specifically Mr. Bannon was eager to identify opportunities for President Trump to visit the FBI, or to participate in FBI events, in an effort to publicly support the organization,” McCabe’s memo of the conversation stated. “Mr. Bannon pointed to the President’s recent speech at CIA headquarters as an example. He said President Trump would probably be quite interested in seeing the FBI Training Academy at Quantico, Virginia, and possibly could participate in a New Agent’s graduation. I told Mr. Bannon that I appreciated his and the President’s interest and indicated that I would discuss the matter with Director Comey.”

McCabe would later undercut efforts by Trump to pay a visit to the FBI, and McCabe would also soon exacerbate the tensions between Flynn and then-Vice President Mike Pence.

Flynn, Pence, and the Kislyak call

Obama had announced on December 29, 2016 that “I have ordered a number of actions in response to the Russian government’s aggressive harassment of U.S. officials and cyber operations aimed at the U.S. election.”

“I have issued an executive order that provides additional authority for responding to certain cyber activity that seeks to interfere with or undermine our election processes and institutions, or those of our allies or partners,” Obama said. “I have sanctioned nine entities and individuals: the GRU and the FSB, two Russian intelligence services; four individual officers of the GRU; and three companies that provided material support to the GRU’s cyber operations.”

Obama also said that “the State Department is also shutting down two Russian compounds, in Maryland and New York, used by Russian personnel for intelligence-related purposes, and is declaring ‘persona non grata’ 35 Russian intelligence operatives.”

Then-Vice President Mike Pence had told CBS News on January 15, 2017 that “I talked to General Flynn about that conversation [with Kislyak]… It was strictly coincidental that they had a conversation. They did not discuss anything having to do with the United States’ decision to expel diplomats or impose censure against Russia.”

“It wasn’t about sanctions. It was about the 35 guys who were thrown out,” Flynn later told the Daily Caller in February 2017 about his call with Kislyak. “So that’s what it turned out to be. It was basically, ‘Look, I know this happened. We’ll review everything.’ I never said anything such as, ‘We’re going to review sanctions,’ or anything like that.”

But Flynn signed a guilty plea in November 2017 after being targeted by the Mueller investigation. The Mueller team contended that “FLYNN’s false statements and omissions impeded and otherwise had a material impact on the FBI’s ongoing investigation into the existence of any links or coordination between individuals associated with the Campaign and Russia’s efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.”

Flynn’s legal team moved to withdraw Flynn’s guilty plea in January 2020, declaring their client was “innocent” and pointing to “the government’s bad faith, vindictiveness, and breach of the plea agreement.”

Flynn’s lawyers told the court in the summer of 2020 that they believed the declassified information was exculpatory evidence “demonstrating (i) his innocence; (ii) the absence of any crime; (iii) government misconduct in the investigation of General Flynn; and (iv) prosecutorial misconduct in the suppression of evidence favorable to the defense.”

February 10, 2017 — McCabe meets with Pence about Flynn controversy

McCabe penned an additional memo about a counterintelligence briefing that he and Priestap gave at the Office of the Vice President on February 10, 2017 — just three days before Flynn was forced to resign as national security adviser at the behest of Pence. The memo shows that it was McCabe who showed Pence and other White House officials the Flynn-Kislyak transcript, and that McCabe discussed the Logan Act with Pence and others.

McCabe wrote that “I went to the White House to provide a basic CI [counterintelligence] defensive brief to the staff members of the Office of the Vice President” and that, after leaving the briefing and preparing to head back to FBI quarters, a yet-redacted FBI special agent “informed me that the White House Counsel’s office had been trying to reach me. Before leaving the White House grounds, I contacted the Sit Room. They informed me that White House Counsel Donald McGahn requested that I meet him in the West Wing to discuss an urgent matter in person.”

McCabe first went to McGahn’s office and then went to Pence’s office in the West Wing, where he met with Pence, McGahn, White House counsel’s office lawyer James Burnham, Pence chief of staff Josh Pitcock, and White House chief of staff Reince Priebus.

“After entering the office, Mr. Priebus informed me that he wanted to review ‘the transcripts.’ I understood he was referring to the transcripts of the telephone conversations between National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergei Kislyak that were recently revealed in an article in the Washington Post,” McCabe wrote. “He mentioned that he knew the FBI previously allowed John Eisenberg, Legal Advisor to the National Security Staff, to review the transcripts. I indicated to Mr. Priebus and the others that I could have Bill Priestap retrieve the transcripts from FBI HQ so that they could review them. The Vice President asked me to dispatch Bill Priestap so that they could review the materials as soon as possible.”

McCabe said that he left the room to call Priestap and to direct him to retrieve the transcripts, and that he also spoke with FBI general counsel James Baker, who “agreed that the review was permissible.”

McCabe said he returned to the office and “I received several questions from Mr. Priebus about how the transcripts could have leaked to the media, and whether or not the FBI was investigating the leak. I replied that we did not know how information about the transcripts had been leaked but that we had submitted a referral to the Department of Justice requesting authorization to begin a media leak investigation. I explained that the investigations would include recent and previous revelations in the Washington Post and other news outlets.”

Leakers not caught

McCabe also wrote in his memo that “Pence asked if I had read the transcripts and I indicated that I had. He then asked if the articles were correct. I first stated that I could not confirm whether the reporter had access to the transcripts or if they had merely spoken to someone who had such access. I then stated that I thought the article in the Post accurately reflected the substance of the transcripts. The Vice President asked, ‘Did they talk about the sanctions?’ I understood him to be asking whether Mr. Flynn and Mr. Kislyak discussed the U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia at the end of December 2016. I indicated that they did discuss the sanctions in those conversations.”

The memo by McCabe stated that “the Vice President indicated that he needed to discuss the matter with his staff, so I left the room to wait for Mr. Priestap to return with the transcripts.”

Once the transcripts were retrieved by Priestap, McCabe wrote that “I provided the Vice President with transcripts of telephone calls captured on 12/23/2016, 12/29/2016 and 12/31/2016. All three calls were between Mr. Flynn and Mr. Kislyak.” McCabe said that “I brought the Vice President’s attention to the call on 12/29/2016” — the call McCabe knew the FBI had grilled Flynn on the month prior.

“While reading the first two pages he commented that several items were consistent with what Mr. Flynn previously informed him had been discussed on the call. He requested that Mr. Pitcock get him a transcript of his comments to CBS news and one was produced. He also asked when the Obama administration announced the sanctions against Russia and someone confirmed that the sanctions were made public on 12/29/2016,” McCabe said of Pence. “Upon reading the portion of the transcript that detailed Mr. Flynn’s comments about the sanctions, the Vice President appeared frustrated and noted that Mr. Flynn initiated the discussion on that topic. The Vice President and the others compared Mr. Flynn’s statements in the transcripts with the Vice President’s comments to CBS News, and discussed what Mr. Flynn had told the Vice President about his conversations.”

McCabe wrote that Priebus, McGahn, Burnham, and Pitcock also reviewed some of the transcripts.

“Mr. Priebus asked me questions about whether or not the discussions related in the transcripts could constitute a violation of the Logan Act. I replied that he would need to ask the Department of Justice whether or not the calls constituted a violation of the act,” McCabe wrote. “I further stated that I was not aware of any prior prosecutions of Logan Act violations. Mr. Priebus asked if previous administrations had similar contacts with foreign representatives prior to taking office officially. I indicated that although I could not speak authoritatively about the actions of previous administrations, I thought it was possible that considerations like that could have been why the act had not been charged in the past.”

McCabe knew quite well that the FBI had indeed considered investigating and potentially prosecuting Flynn under the Logan Act.

“The FBI had in their possession transcripts of the relevant calls,” the Trump DOJ wrote in May 2020 when seeking to throw out the Flynn prosecution. “Believing that the counterintelligence investigation of Mr. Flynn was to be closed, FBI leadership determined to continue its investigation of Mr. Flynn on the basis of these calls, and considered opening a new criminal investigation based solely on a potential violation of the Logan Act.”

McCabe’s memo concluded by saying that “the Vice President finished reading the transcripts and thanked us for providing them.”

Flynn was pushed to resign just a few days after McCabe’s meeting in the West Wing with Pence.

February 15, 2017  McCabe refuses to shoot down ‘false’ NYT story on Trump & Russia

McCabe’s memos also detailed a meeting with Priebus at the White House on February 15, 2017 — now just a few days after Flynn’s ouster — where McCabe refused to publicly shoot down a New York Times article on alleged Trump-Russia collusion, even though McCabe acknowledged it was “false.” McCabe also advised Priebus that Trump should not shoot the story down either. McCabe was again accompanied to this meeting by Priestap, and the meeting again began as a defensive briefing which devolved into a discussion about Russia.

“I went to the White House for a meeting with Chief of Staff to the President Reince Priebus. FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Bill Priestap accompanied me. We were met by William Evanina, who is an FBI agent currently on detail to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence as the Director of the National Counterintelligence Security Center. The purpose of the meeting was to provide a counterintelligence defensive briefing to Mr. Priebus,” McCabe wrote. “We convened in Mr. Priebus’ office on the second floor of the West Wing. Joining us were White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations Joe Hagin, Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Intelligence Programs Ezra Cohen, and one of Mr. Priebus’ briefers from the President’s Daily Briefing Staff. Over the course of about 25 minutes, Mr. Priestap provided the briefing and Mr. Evanina contributed details about cyber espionage and other counterintelligence topics.”

McCabe wrote that “the briefing concluded when Mr. Priebus indicated he had another meeting to attend. I asked Mr. Priebus if he had a moment to discuss a sensitive matter privately. He said he did and the other individuals left the room. I informed Mr. Priebus that the article that appeared in the New York Times this morning which purported to detail FBI efforts to investigate contacts between Russian intelligence officers and several individuals associated with the Trump campaign was largely inaccurate. … I further stated that I was aware of only two White House employees who were in contact with the Russian government: Michael Flynn and Hope Hicks. I reminded him that we discussed the substance of Mr. Flynn’s contacts on Friday, 02/10/2017. I further stated that the FBI’s assessment was that Hope Hicks’ contacts were innocuous, within the scope of her duties, and that we had already provided her with a defensive briefing.”

The article contended that “American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee… The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.”

The McCabe memo said that “Priebus seemed surprised by my comments and indicated that he also thought the article was false. He indicated that the administration was frustrated by having to spend so much time and effort refuting press stories that the White House perceived to be false. Mr. Priebus asked if the FBI would publicly state that the article was false. I told him that we did not do that sort of thing because when we corrected inaccurate news accounts we might inadvertently telegraph to our adversaries our capabilities and our operational activity. He asked if he could share what I told him with others in the White House, including the President. I told him he could share it with whoever he felt he needed to, as long as they did not share it publicly.”

Priebus asked, “What if I told the President and he inadvertently tweeted it?” McCabe wrote that “I told him that would not be a good thing. He continued to press me to consider how the FBI could issue some sort of statement to address this issue. I told him that I would discuss the matter with Director Comey and then get back to him.”

April 24, 2025 – Susan Rice is fired from the Defense Policy Board; The ‘Hidden Resistance’ to Trump’s agenda that remains

I will admit, when I first read that Susan Rice was still ensconced on the Defense Policy Board well into the new Trump administration, I thought it must surely be fake news, some hallucination conjured by an overactive internet rumor mill. Yet, with the bitter taste of disbelief still fresh, the facts became clear. Not only had she lingered, she had lingered officially, and with all the institutional imprimatur the position carries. It is the sort of stunning oversight that shakes one’s faith in the assumption that elections carry consequences.

Rice, a veteran of Obama-era foreign policy failures and perhaps best remembered for her calculatedly deceptive Sunday show performances following the Benghazi disaster, was somehow still whispering counsel into the halls of the Pentagon in 2025. Her known hostility to President Trump, his America First doctrine, and the foundational pillars of his administration did not, apparently, disqualify her. Her presence was not merely inappropriate, it was absurd, a lingering ghost from an administration the voters had quite emphatically rejected.

Thankfully, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth acted swiftly. Upon confirming the disgraceful truth, he took the only responsible course available: he discharged the entire cadre of Pentagon advisory board members, wiping the slate clean. Yet the discovery of Rice’s lingering influence opened a larger question in my mind. How many other advisory boards, spread across the vast administrative sprawl of Washington, remained populated by individuals not just ideologically distant from the president but openly hostile to his agenda?

When I dug deeper, the findings were no less alarming.

At the State Department, Thomas Donilon, a consummate Democratic insider who served as Barack Obama’s National Security Advisor, continued to co-chair the Foreign Affairs Policy Board. Donilon, whose worldview is saturated in the globalist dogmas that Trumpism explicitly rejects, was not some neutral technocrat offering dispassionate advice. He was, and remains, a committed architect of the very foreign policy status quo that voters repudiated.

Serving alongside Donilon was Cecilia Muñoz, another alumnus of the Obama White House, celebrated in progressive circles for her aggressive domestic policy advocacy. That she too advised the State Department in 2025 suggests not malevolent intent by Trump officials, but the lingering inertia of an entrenched bureaucracy and the sheer pace at which the new administration had to operate.

The situation at the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board was equally disquieting. Janet Napolitano, former Obama DHS Secretary and Democratic governor, lent her counsel, as did Evan Bayh, a loyal son of the Democratic establishment. Jane Harman, the California Democrat whose tenure on the House Intelligence Committee made her a fixture of Beltway orthodoxy, also held a seat, alongside Calvin Smyre, the “Dean” of Georgia Democrats.

It must be said: these appointments were not acts of sabotage, they were inherited artifacts of the prior administration, relics that had, perhaps through bureaucratic oversight, been allowed to persist longer than they should have. The Trump administration, moving at a breakneck pace to secure cabinet confirmations, implement executive orders, and dismantle the administrative state’s more overt structures, may not have fully cleared the decks of every board and commission.

The President’s Export Council, ostensibly a forum for economic growth, suffered from a similar inertia. Keisha Lance Bottoms, former Atlanta mayor and Democratic partisan, advised on export matters, flanked by Lacy Johnson, a Democratic operative from Indiana, Patrick Murphy, a Democratic former congressman from Florida, and Juan Verde, a Democratic strategist from the Obama Commerce Department.

These individuals are not mere advisors offering technical expertise from some neutral Olympus. They are political actors, shaped by decades of partisan struggle, invested in the success of the Democratic Party and the failure of the Republican vision for America. Their continued presence on federal advisory boards confers undeserved credibility, allowing them to subtly or not so subtly undermine the president’s directives under the guise of “expert opinion.”

Even within the Department of Defense itself, figures like Michael Bloomberg and Reid Hoffman, both prominent Democratic donors and partisans, held advisory positions on the Defense Innovation Board. Robert Wolf, famously dubbed “Obama’s Wall Street ally,” lingered on the Defense Business Board. Their appointments predated the new administration and, in the tumult of transition, may not yet have been formally revoked.

Advisory boards matter. They shape the information a president and his cabinet receive, frame the choices deemed “serious,” and create institutional momentum behind or against policy initiatives. A hostile advisor is not a harmless academic adding “diversity of thought.” He is a wedge, a saboteur in slow motion, capable of cloaking opposition in the respectable garments of “best practices” and “expertise.”

To appreciate the peril, one need only revisit George Washington’s Farewell Address, in which he warned against “the insidious wiles of foreign influence.” Today, foreign influence often enters not through emissaries but through the porous membranes of a permanent political class, credentialed, networked, and ideologically committed to resisting populist correction.

What President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and others must recognize is that elections, though decisive at the ballot box, are never self-executing within the bureaucratic labyrinth. Personnel, as the old Reagan maxim goes, is policy. Without loyal personnel, policy becomes little more than rhetorical flourish, mocked and resisted within the very apparatus charged with carrying it out.

It is not sufficient, therefore, to appoint secretaries and department heads. The advisory bodies must be purged of those whose loyalty lies with other agendas. It is not a question of suppressing dissent or banishing disagreement. It is a question of ensuring that advice flows from those who share, at a fundamental level, the vision that voters endorsed.

Nor should we shy away from acknowledging that credibility itself is a weapon. A Donilon or a Napolitano or a Rice can, with the simple weight of a title, influence media narratives, congressional investigations, and public perceptions. The mere fact that such a figure “advises” the president creates the illusion of bipartisan concern when, in fact, what exists is partisan subversion.

The stakes are not academic. As Mark Twain once noted, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” In our era, an ill-placed advisor can seed narratives, foment resistance, and hamstring executive action before the ink on a policy directive has even dried.

The Trump administration must move swiftly to correct these oversights. A full review, department by department, board by board, is essential. Those whose affiliations, records, and loyalties stand in opposition to the constitutional mandate entrusted to President Trump must be thanked for their prior service and formally dismissed. Moreover, it is vital that these removals are publicly reported, ensuring that neither the media nor the bureaucratic establishment can operate under the false assumption that these old holdovers remain in positions of influence.

In doing so, we reaffirm a basic principle: the American people have the right to see their political choices honored not merely symbolically but operationally. Anything less is a betrayal disguised as continuity.

April 24, 2025 – Judge Boasberg denied Jan 6 prisoner due process and discovery evidence; Violated his civil rights

Brian Mock (Credit: X.com)

Brian was denied justice.

This is not a conspiracy theory — it’s a documented civil rights violation.

“I specifically asked for this video and others at my trial. I had access to http://evidence.com from inside the D.C. Gulag. But AUSA Michael Gordon told me I wasn’t allowed to view it — because I’m not a lawyer.”

Brian represented himself pro se, which means he was legally entitled to all discovery.
Instead, the DOJ blocked him.

And Judge James Boasberg sided with them — denying Brian access to any evidence in the global discovery.

⚖️ This is not due process.

This is prosecutorial abuse, judicial betrayal, and systemic injustice.

How can a trial be fair if the defendant is blindfolded in the courtroom?

We are demanding a full congressional review and public release of all suppressed January 6 discovery.

VIDEO ANALYSIS: “7 Headshots” – U.S. Capitol, Jan 6, 2021 | 1:06 PM
📍 Location: West Plaza, U.S. Capitol
🕐 Time: 1:06 PM, January 6th, 2021
🔒 Status: Footage was buried in a classified folder labeled “Previously Highly Sensitive” and withheld from hundreds of January 6 survivors and legal defense teams.
🚨 Key Observations:
7 Rubber Bullets — 7 Direct Headshots.
The video shows a Capitol Police officer systematically firing rubber bullets directly into the heads and faces of multiple demonstrators in rapid succession.
No Active Threat Justified That Force.
The crowd is densely packed, with no clear indication of violent aggression. Most of the targets are either standing still, raising hands, or attempting to shield themselves.

No Warnings, No De-escalation.
There’s no audible warning or demand for dispersal before the shots are fired. The use of force is immediate, targeted, and arguably punitive.
Several Victims Collapse or Stumble.
One man takes a direct hit to the face and drops instantly. Another doubles over. No officers render medical aid. No EMS teams are visible.
🧨 Why This Matters:

This was not crowd control — this was retaliatory violence.
Rubber bullets are classified as “less-lethal,” but direct headshots violate all recognized use-of-force protocols. These shots could have caused permanent brain damage, blindness, or death.
And this footage was hidden.

Defense attorneys, survivors, and the public were deliberately denied access to a clip that undermines the official narrative — that protesters initiated violence and police merely responded.
⚖️ This Footage Demands:

Immediate public release of all related bodycam angles
Formal congressional review of suppressed evidence

Reparations and justice for those shot, mischarged, or silenced

April 25, 2025 – FBI arrest Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan and charge her for obstructing an illegal alien arrest

Eduardo Flores Ruiz and Judge Hannah Dugan (Credit Fox News)

Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week.

We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest.

Thankfully, our agents chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since, but the Judge’s obstruction created increased danger to the public.

We will have more to share soon. Excellent work @FBIMilwaukee.



UPDATE: 4/27/2025

April 26, 2025 – Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre dies by suicide…many doubts expressed by public

Virginia Giuffre, a sexual abuse victim of the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, has taken her life at the age of 41, according to a report from NBC News.

Giuffre’s family revealed in a statement to the outlet that she “passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia.” Giuffre was described as a “fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking.”

“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,” Giuffre’s family said in a statement. “She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.”

The statement continued: “Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors. In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.”

BREAKING: Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre has taken her life, according to NBC News.

Giuffre was one of the most vocal Epstein accusers who inspired others to speak out.

“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia. She lost her life to su*cide, after being a lifelong victim of s*xual abuse and s*x trafficking,” the family said.

“Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against s*xual abuse and s*x trafficking.”

“She was the light that lifted so many survivors. In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.”

She was abused and groomed from 1999 to 2002 and was allegedly trafficked to powerful people including Prince Andrew.

Shortly before she passed, Giuffre claimed she had just days to live after being in a car accident. (Photo below)

The outlet noted that Giuffre “provided critical information to law enforcement” that helped lead to the conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s accomplice:

She also provided critical information to law enforcement that contributed to the investigation into and later the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as other investigations by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

In 2009, Giuffre sued Epstein and Maxwell for having recruited “her to join” Epstein’s “sex trafficking ring when she was a minor under the guise of become a professional masseuse,” the New York Times reported. (Read more: Breitbart News, 4/25/2025)  (Archive)
