January 30, 2025 – Did Obama and Eric Holder get paid to rig a court case?

(Credit: Revolver News)

There’s a new video making the rounds, and it’s raising a massive red flag and asking: Did Obama and Eric Holder get paid to rig court cases? That’s the question many are now asking, and the allegations are so serious that Pam Bondi and Kash Patel should take a closer look once they get their offices setup.

The video was posted by an account “Against the Giants,” and it exposes a shocking timeline that suggests Big Tech, the Obama regime, and his DOJ may have colluded to rig our nation’s courts.

The building blocks of the left’s lawfare?

This disturbing story centers around a small, relatively unknown innovator who developed some cutting-edge wireless technology—and then had it allegedly stolen by Qualcomm.

When he sued for patent infringement, the court ruled in his favor.

But here’s where things get deeply disturbing and very interesting…

In shocking twist, that decision was mysteriously overturned right after Eric Holder’s DOJ was caught tracking the case. Suspicious? Yes. But there’s more…

The White House Executive Office was apparently busted visiting the inventor’s website, specifically looking at information related to the lawsuit against Qualcomm.

This has many people asking some very serious questions: Did the company Qualcomm grease the wheels inside the Obama regime to protect their billion-dollar empire?

Many would argue that the dots are connecting fast and furious (pun intended).

And to make matters more curious, Qualcomm’s founder met with Obama White House officials just days before the case was overturned, raising more concerns that perhaps campaign cash or political favors may have been exchanged for some favorable court rulings.

Take a look for yourself:

If this is true, it means Big Tech and the government worked together to rig the courts, crush competition, and sell out American innovators—and they did it while China swooped in and profited from stolen US technology. (Read more: Revolver News, 1/31/2025)  (Archive)

January 30, 2025 – During his confirmation hearing, Kash Patel tells Sen. Marsha Blackburn he will expose the people on the Epstein list

“Child sex trafficking has no place in the United States of America and I will do everything, if confirmed as FBI Director, to make sure the American public knows the full weight of what happened in the past, and how we are going to counter man missing children and exploited children going forward.”

December 6, 2023 – Durbin accused of blocking subpoenas, lying about Jeffrey Epstein flight logs

A whirlwind of controversy surrounds U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, and flight logs belonging to the family of Jeffrey Epstein.

The plane was allegedly used to fly underage girls to Epstein’s private Caribbean island. Epstein pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges and was later found dead in his jail cell.

U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, has publicly called out Durbin for blocking her request to file a subpoena for the flight logs and then lying about any knowledge of the request.

During a recent Judiciary Committee hearing, Durbin said he wanted to go on the record and asked Blackburn about the matter.

“You and I have never personally discussed this, have we?” said Durbin

“We talked briefly on the floor,” said Blackburn.

“You never mentioned what the subject matter of your amendment was,” said Durbin.

“In committee I brought up the subject matter of my amendment,” said Blackburn.“Not in my presence,” said Durbin.But during a Nov. 9 hearing presided over by Durbin, Blackburn did, in fact, mention the subpoena of flight logs.“Since we’re in the business of issuing subpoenas now, here are a few more I have filed,” said Blackburn. “A subpoena to Jeffrey Epstein’s estate to provide the flight logs for his private plane. Given the numerous allegations of human trafficking and abuse surrounding Mr. Epstein, we’ve got to identify everyone who could have participated in his horrific conduct.”Blackburn has called Durbin’s actions a “sad day in the history of the prestigious Judiciary Committee.”

On Wednesday, Blackburn posted questions on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

“Why did Senator Durbin appear to not know about my subpoena request for Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs? Why are the Democrats stonewalling this issue?”

January 30, 2025 – Donald Trump suggests the recent DC mid-air crash may be related to Obama and Biden lowering standards for air traffic controllers

Tucker Carlson had already unearthed proof back in 2018 that the Obama administration had placed a new emphasis on diversity over traditional hiring practices at the Federal Aviation Administration.

President Donald Trump suggested during a news briefing Thursday that the crash of American Airlines Flight 5342 with an Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington, D.C., may have had something to do with the lowering of standards for air traffic controllers that occurred first during the Obama administration and later during President Joe Biden’s time in office.

In June 2018, then-Fox News host Carlson covered the topic, saying, “The Obama administration pressured the FAA to meet abstract diversity goals. Now nobody bothered to explain why diversity is a relevant criterion for air traffic controllers. No one will explain it now.”

Carlson explained that the FAA added a biographical questionnaire to the air traffic controller application process, which he said gave more points to would-be controllers who lacked a scientific background or who had been unemployed for the previous three years than they did to licensed pilots.

“In other words, the FAA actively searched for unqualified air traffic controllers. That is insane, and they knew it was insane when they did it, but they did it anyway,” he said.

In an email Carlson said he obtained, the executive who created the biographical questionnaire “admits that the test he devised has nothing to do with finding the best air traffic controllers. If you want good air traffic controllers, find people with experience. That was his advice. The FAA ignored this, and used the biographical screen anyway. … Compared to diversity, your safety meant nothing to them.”

The Washington Times editorial board also wrote about the topic in a February 2024 opinion piece following near misses at Reagan National, where Wednesday’s crash took place, and Baltimore-Washington International Airport.

The Times cited a 2013 FAA document titled “Controller Hiring by the Numbers,” which asked, “How much of a change in job performance is acceptable to achieve what diversity goals?”

The news outlet noted in 2012 that the FAA temporarily halted hiring of new controllers and replaced its race-blind hiring rules with a “Biographical Assessment” stratagem intended to hire more minorities.

Playing four or more sports in high school was worth 5 points in the survey, while holding a pilot’s license only earned an applicant 2 points.

“More than 3,000 top-performing, motivated applicants lost out because they weren’t members of this ethnic club,” the Times said.

(…) In 2018, Carlson interviewed aviation attorney and former air traffic controller Michael Pearson, who represented plaintiffs in a suit against the FAA in 2015 on the new hiring criteria.

Pearson recounted, “In late 2011, early 2012, members of the National Black Controllers Association had a meeting with the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Jesse Jackson, and some high-level [Department of Transportation] and FAA officials. Michael Huerta [then head of the FAA] was part of those meetings. And right after that meeting, the FAA put an immediate hold on hiring. They stopped hiring.”

He verified what both Carlson and the Times reported regarding the biographical questionnaire: That it did not test actual aptitude and background to be a good air traffic controller.

The media doesn’t know what it’s getting into picking a fight with Trump over DEI in air travel.

Here’s the facts: The Obama Administration threw out ALL the results of a merit-based air traffic controller hiring test, wrecking the career plans of people who’d spent thousands of dollars pursuing that career.

Then, the Obama Administration created a new test where they INTENTIONALLY selected for less capable people merely on the hope that they’d be less white. All of this has been proven in the filings of an extensive class-action lawsuit against the FAA.

Let me repeat that: Democrats didn’t simply create a quota system, or discriminate based on race. They deliberately worked to make new air traffic controllers dumber, hoping that diversity would be the side effect. That’s how obsessed the left is with DEI, and how little they care about protecting the lives of fliers.

Conservatives should welcome this fight. Nothing better represents how evil DEI is and how antithetical it is to human life and American success.

January 30, 2025 – The RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel inquisitions prove the intelligence community and big corporate interests control government

That’s the inescapable conclusion for anyone who watched the grand pantomimes being displayed in the past 24 hours.

There’s a debate amid the newly awakened and many who do not want to believe it; but there is no denying that Trump 2.0 is revealing even more layers of how far astray the Republic has gone.

Institutional Democrats hate Trump, and institutional Republicans are lukewarm, at best, in defending Trump.  Both wings of the DC UniParty fear Trump.  Extreme efforts at control are always a reaction to fear.  I make my case not on supposition, but on empirical reference points that most should understand.

Within the politics of it, the DNC wants power. The RNC wants money. The DNC uses money to get power. The RNC uses power to get money. The ideology of the DNC drives their donor activity. The donor activity of the RNC drives their ideology. This is the only current difference between the two clubs, two wings of the same vulture.

Multinational corporations do not like capitalism because within the process of capitalism they do not have control over the financial outcomes.  Capitalism breeds competition: multinationals abhor competition, they are totalitarian in ideology and want the entire pie under their control.  Multinational corporations do not like capitalism; underline it, emphasize it, do not forget it.

Capitalism is based on the principles of a free market.  Multinationals do not want a free market; they want a controlled market.  Their effort toward promoting mandatory vaccine compliance is an example of yet another control they can manipulate for maximum financial benefit.  It really is that simple.

Meanwhile the crew of UniParty politicians behind DC know they can benefit from their corporate allies.  The multinationals will pay the politicians for control and the politicians will construct defensive legislative outcomes that protect the multinationals.  That is what is happening in exponentially increasing sunlight.

January 30, 2025 – Senator Whitehouse demands RFK Jr support “forced mandatory vaccinations” or no confirmation support

If this is indeed representative of half the country, then we are dealing with half the country having a severe mental illness.

Sheldon Whitehouse tells RFK Jr during his confirmation hearing today that support for forced, mandatory vaccinations is required as the baseline for supporting his nomination to HHS Secretary.   The moment comes at 00:50 of Whitehouse reading his script.  The intensity and vitriol behind the statement is a testimony to the scale of money from Big Pharma to these senators.  WATCH:

January 30, 2025 – FBI whistleblower: The senior leadership of the FBI has been purged

(…) FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin revealed last night that the purge went beyond the six Executive Assistant Directors; it also included 25 Special Agents in Charge.

According to Seraphin, there are three individual leadership positions at the top of the FBI:  the Director, the Deputy Director, and the Associate Deputy Director.

Below that, there are seven “branch heads” known as Executive Assistant Directors, while the Special Agents in Charge (SACs) lead each of 56 field offices across the country.

One of those SACs, according to Seraphin, was Special Agent in Charge Spencer Evans, who led the field office in Las Vegas, Nevada, and who recently spearheaded the investigation into the alleged suicide of a Green Beret who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside of the Trump Hotel on New Year’s Day.

He was also the SAC that denied Seraphin his religious exemption from the COVID vaccine, which in part led to his indefinite suspension.

Seraphin also mentioned the widespread terminations of a group of former agents known as “The Suspendables,” which include former agents Steve Friend and Garrett O’Boyle.

O’Boyle was suspended in September 2022 after he blew the whistle on the FBI using threat tags to target pro-life individuals after Roe v. Wade was overturned.

Friend blew the whistle over the exaggeration of statistics regarding the threat of domestic terrorism, as well as the overzealous tactics used against Jan 6 protesters by the bureau. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 1/31/2025)  (Archive)

January 31, 2025 – Justice Department fires January 6 federal prosecutors in the DC U.S. Attorney’s office

Earlier Friday Trump fired the head of the FBI Washington Field Office, according to NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian.

David Sundberg is the highest ranking FBI official to be fired in Trump’s second term. Trump fired FBI Director James Comey during his first term.

Sundberg oversaw the January 6 investigation and the investigation into the so-called DNC pipe bomber.

According to NBC’s Ken Dilanian, the purge is much larger than originally reported and includes more than 20 heads of FBI Field Offices.

January 31, 2025 – Top Treasury official resigns; his manager, an Obama insider and BlackRock advisor, resigns; DOGE team discovers Treasury is funding terrorist groups

The Trump administration pushed out a top Treasury Department official this week after he refused to give Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team access to the government’s vast payment system, part of a bid by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency to choke off federal funding.

David Lebryk, a career civil servant who oversaw the more than one billion payments that the federal government makes every year, was placed on administrative leave this week after resisting requests from Mr. Musk’s lieutenants, according to people familiar with the circumstances, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive internal dynamics.

On Friday, Mr. Lebryk — who had briefly served as acting Treasury secretary until the confirmation of Scott Bessent this week — told colleagues that he would retire after more than 35 years of working for the government.

(…) Mr. Musk, a billionaire, has dispatched aides across the bureaucracy to try to radically reduce spending. He has told Trump administration officials that he aims to take control of the Treasury computers used to complete payments in order to identify fraud and abuse, according to three people familiar with his remarks.

The Treasury Department executes payments on behalf of agencies across the government, disbursing $5.4 trillion, or 88 percent of all federal payments, in the last fiscal year. The system is run out of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, a little-known but critical office that is responsible for getting money to Social Security recipients, government employees, contractors and others.

February 2025 – Democrats’ ‘comeback retreat’ suggests party should ’embrace patriotism’ and ‘reduce far-left influence’

In early February, a group of moderate Democratic consultants, campaign staffers, elected officials and party leaders gathered in Loudoun County, Virginia, for a day-and-a-half retreat where they plotted their party’s comeback.

The gathering — organized by Third Way, the centrist Democratic think tank, and operated by Chatham House Rules — resulted in five pages of takeaways, a document Playbook obtained from one of the participants. (Not all attendees endorsed each point.)

“In the wake of this election, where it became so evident that the things that the left was doing and saying deeply hurt Harris and down-ballot Democrats, a lot of people are looking to us, not just Third Way, but the moderates in the party, and saying, ‘We got to do it your way, because the other way ain’t working,’” said Third Way’s Matt Bennett, who helped organize the February retreat.

The document itselfis perhaps the most comprehensive of its kind following the election — both in its analysis of what went wrong and how to fix it.

The retreat’s conversation centered on a disconnect with the working class. Among the causes of that disconnect: weak messaging and communication, failure to prioritize economic concerns, overemphasis on identity politics, allowing the far left to define the party, and attachment to unpopular institutions such as academia, media and government bureaucracy.

Those gathered then laid out 20 solutions for how Democrats can regain working-class trust and reconnect with them culturally.

February 1, 2025 – USAID website goes dark as Trump plans to shift agency under State Department

The website of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) went offline Saturday evening amid reports that the Trump administration was preparing to curtail USAID’s independence by placing it under the direct oversight of the State Department.

An error message on USAID’s website read: “This site can’t be reached Check if there is a typo in www.usaid.gov. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN.”

Two sources familiar with the transition told Reuters that a major overhaul is expected in how Washington allocates US foreign aid, with USAID losing its independence and most likely coming under the control of the State Department.

By late Saturday, a new ‘lite’ page for USAID appeared on the State Department’s website.

(Credit: Andrew Harnik/AP)

President Trump fired Rohit Chopra, the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Saturday.

Rohit Chopra received an email Saturday morning informing him that he had been terminated, CNN reported.

On Saturday Chopra announced he was leaving the post.

Rohit Chopra was a toxic Biden holdover who previously threatened banks that refused to give credit lines and loans to illegal aliens.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the DOJ warned banks and lending institutions in a joint statement in October 2023.

“The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Justice Department today issued a joint statement that reminds financial institutions that all credit applicants are protected from discrimination on the basis of their national origin, race, and other characteristics covered by the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, regardless of their immigration status,” the CFPB said in a statement.

“The CFPB and Justice Department are issuing this statement because consumers have reported being rejected for credit cards as well as for auto, student, personal, and equipment loans because of their immigration status, even when they have strong credit histories and ties to the United States and are otherwise qualified to receive the loans.” they said.

“Fair access to credit is crucially important for building wealth and strengthening household financial stability,” said CFPB Director Rohit Chopra. “The CFPB will not allow companies to use immigration status as an excuse for illegal discrimination.”

The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke warned banks that they may be violating federal law if they don’t give illegal aliens loans. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 2/1/2025)  (Archive)

February 1, 2025 – Elon Musk’s DOGE locks federal human resources workers out of computer systems at Office of Personnel Management (OPM)

Elon Musk’s aides have locked career government bureaucrats out of computer systems that operate a federal government human resources agency.

Musk, the owner of social media platform X and the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency — which is tasked with slashing government waste, fraud, and abuse — installed allies at the government resources agency known as the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

Reuters, citing government officials who spoke to the outlet anonymously, said career bureaucrats have had their access to governments systems revoked.

“We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems,” one official said.

“That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications,” the official claimed.

OPM has sought to remove many in the federal government; the agency has sent out memos encouraging bureaucrats to take buyout offers to quit and take a vacation to a “dream destination.” The buyout package includes eight months pay if the civil servant chooses to retire.

Musk’s allies have figuratively set up camp at the OPM headquarters so they work round the clock:

A team including current and former employees of Musk assumed command of OPM on Jan. 20, the day Trump took office. They have moved sofa beds onto the fifth floor of the agency’s headquarters, which contains the director’s office and can only be accessed with a security badge or a security escort, one of the OPM employees said. The sofa beds have been installed so the team can work around the clock, the employee said.

“It feels like a hostile takeover,” one employee lamented.

The OPM is reportedly run by Amanda Scales, a former Musk employee, who now serves as the agency’s chief of staff. Riccardo Biasini, a former engineer at Tesla, also works as a senior adviser to the agency. (Read more: Breitbart News, 2/01/2025)  (Archive)

February 3, 2025 – President Trump’s lawsuit against Pulitzer Prize board members moves to discovery phase

Clipping of a New York Post article that addresses the absurd Pulitzer Price given to the NY Times and Washington Post, 2/21/2022.

President Donald Trump scored a significant legal win Monday in his lawsuit against the members of the Pulitzer Prize Board, paving the way towards the discovery phase in their courtroom battle.

Judge Robert L. Pegg (Credit: public domain)

Last week, the board members filed a motion for Protective Order Governing Discovery in hopes of shielding their internal communications involving the decision to award The New York Times and The Washington Post a Pulitzer Prize for their reporting on Russiagate during Trump’s first term in office.

Judge Robert L. Pegg of the 19th Judicial Circuit Court in Okeechobee County, Florida, stuck down their motion.

“The rule requires ‘an affirmative showing of annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense’ from such party or person… Defendants have failed to meet this requirement, as there is no factual support in the record demonstrating that any defendant, much less each defendant, would be subject to annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense if a protective order is not entered,” Pegg wrote in his filing.

“President Trump is committed to holding those who traffic in deception and fake news to account,” Trump attorney Quincy Bird told Fox News Digital. “The defendants, hiding behind the once-prestigious Pulitzer Prizes, attempted to resurrect a left-wing hoax by giving, as well as continuing to stand by and republishing, its disgraced award to the organizations that drove the infamous ‘Russia Russia Russia’ hoax.”

“This was a defamatory scam designed to damage President Trump’s image and presidential campaign. After today’s win in court, this case will now proceed to a very thorough discovery process and President Trumpis committed to seeing this case through to a just conclusion,” Bird added.

February 3, 2025 – DHS official says the agency will defy Kristi Noem if they ‘don’t agree with’ her priorities

A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official was caught on undercover video admitting that the agency intends to defy the directives of newly confirmed DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, according to footage released by James O’Keefe’s O’Keefe Media Group.

Brandon Wright, Platform Services Manager for DHS, was recorded saying that the agency’s career bureaucrats do not allow political appointees to interfere with their operations. He told the undercover reporter, “Kristi Noem? I f*cking hate her.”

“The secretaries can set the priorities for the department, but they can’t actually tell us what to do,” Wright told an undercover OMG journalist, later adding, “The truth is, we don’t let them [secretaries] get in our way.” He said, “If we don’t agree with those priorities, there is a lot of room for interpretation, in terms of how we interpret what those priorities are.”

He compared the government’s bureaucratic structure to a septic tank, saying that there are layers that allow employees to filter directives in a way that minimizes their impact. “There’s a lot of layers like that in the government. And by the time the actual marching orders get to, like, me and below, we can filter it in a way that steadies the ship,” he said.

“She doesn’t know her a**,” he remarked, adding, “The Department of Homeland Security could fall on her f*cking head, and she wouldn’t recognize what it is. Kristi Noem doesn’t know sh*t” He also expressed frustration over her leadership style, saying, “To say that I am not excited about this would be the most epic understatement.”

In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said, “Secretary Noem has not seen the video in its entirety. This type of behavior will not be tolerated. This person has been placed on leave and is under investigation…The senior official says the termination of the official is imminent.” (Read more: The Post Millennial, 2/3/2025) (Archive)

(The tweet below would not embed for me so there is a link below the photo.)

“The truth is, we don’t let them [secretaries] get in our way,” admits Brandon Wright, Platform Services Manager for the Department of Homeland Security (@DHSgov), on hidden camera, to an undercover @OKeefeMedia Journalist. Drawing an analogy to a septic tank, Wright described the multi-layered bureaucracy within DHS: “There’s a lot of layers, like [in] government… By the time the actual marching orders get to me and below, we can filter it in a way that steadies the ship.”

“If we don’t agree with those priorities,” he said, noting executing orders often involves deceptively construing priorities set by political appointees to make them more practical and less disruptive, adding, “there’s a lot of room for interpretation.”

When discussing @KristiNoem’s role as the Trump-appointed DHS Secretary, Wright didn’t mince words on his opinions over Noem’s qualifications for the position. “Kristi Noem doesn’t know… She doesn’t know her ass,” he remarked, adding, “The Department of Homeland Security could fall on her f*cking head, and she wouldn’t recognize what it is.”

Wright also admitted his personal dislike of her leadership style, adding, “To say that I am not excited about this would be the most epic understatement.”

The Department of Homeland Security provided the following statement to O’Keefe Media Group:

“Secretary Noem has not seen the video in its entirety. This type of behavior will not be tolerated. This person has been placed on leave and is under investigation … The senior official says the termination of the official is imminent.”

February 3, 2025 – Zelensky claims Ukraine received less than half of U.S. aid – ‘Don’t know where all that money went’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that his country has only received around $76 billion in aid from the United States despite America authorising around $175 billion to support the war-torn country.

In an interview with the Associated Press published over the weekend, President Zelensky said he doesn’t know where most of the money the United States allocated under the Biden administration to Ukraine has gone.

“When I hear – both in the past and even now – from the U.S. that America has provided Ukraine with hundreds of billions, as the president of a nation at war, I can tell you – we’ve received more than $75 billion,” he said. “We’re talking about tangible things because this aid didn’t come as cash but rather as weapons, which amounted to about $70 billion.”

“But when it’s said that Ukraine received $200 billion to support the army during the war – that’s not true. I don’t know where all that money went,” Zelensky admitted.

“Perhaps it’s true on paper with hundreds of different programmes – I won’t argue, and we’re immensely grateful for everything. But in reality, we received about $76 billion. It’s significant aid, but it’s not $200 billion.”

The Ukrainian leader suggested that perhaps the additional funds went to humanitarian programmes, which he said he was “uninformed about, except for knowing of their existence”.

“Perhaps the U.S. President’s administration will audit these programmes and find additional billions, but I don’t know where those funds went,” Zelensky said.

February 3, 2025 – The DOGE team is doxxed

DOGE: One of the ‘journalists’ who decided to doxx members of Trump’s DOGE team is a Mashable reporter a couple of years out of UNT who likes to sleep in his free time with his orange cat. He reviewed the background of the DOGE team and found them lacking. Let me tell you a little about them:

– degrees from Stanford, UC Berkeley, & MIT
– work experience at Google, Tesla, SpaceX, and OpenAI
– Several hold patents in critical areas such as blockchain consensus mechanisms, AI-driven fraud detection, and scalable payment networks
– Others pioneered open-source frameworks used by developers worldwide or built award-winning solutions in decentralized finance (DeFi) and robotics
– One member decoded ancient texts using machine learning, earning recognition in top scientific journals
– One designed a blockchain-based remittance system that transformed financial access in underserved regions
– Their work has been celebrated at premier tech conferences, in academic publications, and through accolades like hackathon victories and fellowships reserved for visionary innovators

Their youth is an asset: it brings fresh perspectives, fluency in emerging technologies, and the agility to iterate rapidly in a fast-evolving space. Far from being “unqualified,” their track records of solving complex problems, often ahead of industry curves, position them among the nation’s brightest minds—proof that capability is defined not by age, but by vision, execution, and impact. I certainly don’t think the Mashable reporter is in any position to judge these people.

February 4, 2025 – FBI gives up details of over 5,000 employees involved in Jan. 6 cases To DOJ

FBI officials turned over information from thousands of employees who worked on cases concerning Jan. 6 to President Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ), according to a Tuesday report.

Out of over 13,000 agents and 38,000 FBI employees, the details of more than 5,000 personnel were sent to the DOJ, sources familiar told CNN. Information provided included employee identification numbers, work titles and any roles in investigations connected to Jan. 6, according to a source, though names were excluded.

The report does not note how many out of the 5,000 were FBI agents.

The Daily Caller reached out to the FBI, which referred the Caller to the DOJ. The DOJ has not responded at the time of publication.

The DOJ sent a survey to agents and employees about their potential roles in Jan. 6 investigations. It was due by 3 p.m. Monday.

Multiple anonymous agents and employees sued the DOJ on Tuesday over its questionnaire, arguing it was “retribution.”

“Plaintiffs assert that the specific purpose of this survey is to identify agents and other FBI personnel to be terminated as a form of politically motivated retribution,” the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit also claims the DOJ violated the First Amendment and privacy laws. The employees were told that the “aggregated information” collected from the surveys would be sent to senior management, according to documents. (Read more: The Daily Caller, 2/4/2025)  (Archive)

February 4, 2025 – Democrats call for war, revolution, and fighting in the street

…The anti-Elon Musk rally last night proved two things: Trump derangement syndrome has been replaced by Elon Musk derangement syndrome. Second, the Democratic Party has no idea how to win elections. The reports of a rudderless, leaderless, and divided organization were confirmed last night. It also showed that they have no message other than ‘me no like this Trump administration,’ of which Elon Musk is a top agent of the president. His Department of Government Efficiency is wiping the table clean, exposing waste and fraud, and getting these lazy DC government workers to quit.

They already delivered a smackdown to legacy officials at the Treasury Department before Scott Bessent was confirmed as its next secretary. USAID has been virtually gutted, becoming absorbed into the State Department, where all overseas missions were ordered closed by Friday. The entire staff is slated to be furloughed this week. The CIA is also running scared, offering its entire workforce buyout options. The DOGE crew has accessed the Small Business Administration’s accounts, and Democrats cannot understand nor tolerate that the government doesn’t have to waste our tax dollars.

“Disclosure of your name, immigration status, and mode of entry is not mandatory,” she added.

Omar went on to tell Somali illegals that they needed to take steps to educate themselves on America’s immigration laws to combat ICE better.

“Learn the laws and prepare yourself,” she said. “And refrain from disclosing information that you would prefer them not to know.”

The House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump on December 18, 2019, after a White House whistleblower went public with evidence that Trump abused his powers by withholding military aid to Ukraine in order to dig up dirt on his rival, Joe Biden.

In the complaint, the whistleblower claimed to have heard from White House staff that Trump had, on a phone call, directed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to work with his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, to investigate Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.

The whistleblower who triggered the impeachment was a CIA analyst who was first brought into the White House by the Obama administration.

Reporting by Drop Site News last year revealed that the CIA analyst relied on reporting by a supposedly independent investigative news organization called the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), which appears to have effectively operated as an arm of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which President Trump has just shut down. The CIA whistleblower complaint cited a long report by OCCRP four times.

The OCCRP report alleged that two Soviet-born Florida businessmen were “key hidden actors behind a plan” by Trump to investigate the Bidens. According to the story, those two businessmen connected Giuliani to two former Ukrainian prosecutors. The OCCRP story was crucial to the House Democrats’ impeachment claim, which is that Trump dispatched Giuliani as part of a coordinated effort to pressure a foreign country to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, which is why the whistleblower cited it four times.

In a 2024 documentary that German television broadcaster NDR made about OCCRP’s dependence on the US government, a USAID official confirmed that USAID approves OCCRP’s “annual work plan” and approves new hires of “key personnel.” NDR initiated and carried out the investigation with French investigative news organization Mediapart, Italian new group Il Fatto Quotidiano, Reporters United in Greece, and Drop Site News in the United States.

However, according to a Mediapart story published the same day as the Drop Site News article, NDR censored the broadcast “after US journalist Drew Sullivan, the co-founder and head of the OCCRP, placed pressure on the NDR management and made false accusations against the broadcaster’s journalists involved in the project.”

On December 16, Drop Site’s Ryan Grim posted a link on X to the 26-minute-long documentary. “NDR, Germany’s public broadcaster, is facing a censorship scandal and has defended itself by saying it never killed a news report about OCCRP and its State Department funding — b/c no report was ever produced to kill,” said Grim. “That was absurd — and dozens, maybe hundreds, of journalists knew it to be false, and now of course, someone has leaked it.”

The journalistic collaboration revealed that OCCRP’s original funding came from the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the State Department, and quotes a USAID official who says, “Drew’s just nervous about being linked with law enforcement,” referring to Sullivan. “If people who are going to give you information think you’re just a cop, maybe it’s a problem.”

OCCRP does not operate like a normal investigative journalism organization in that its goals appear to include interfering in foreign political matters, including elections, aimed at regime change. Sullivan told NDR that his organization had “probably been responsible for five or six countries changing over from one government to another government… and getting prime ministers indicted or thrown out.”

As such, it appears that CIA, USAID, and OCCRP were all involved in the impeachment of President Trump in ways similar to the regime change operations that all three organizations engage in abroad. The difference is that it is highly illegal and even treasonous for CIA, USAID, and its contractors and intermediaries, known as “cut-outs,” to interfere in US politics this way.

OCCRP threatened to file a lawsuit against Public in response to questions we sent. “The premise of your article is factually false and defamatory,” wrote Miranda Patrucic, the Editor in Chief of OCCRP, over email. “The claim by Dropsite News and partner media that USAID has control over editorial appointments has been disproven and we suggest you read our response to that.”

But neither OCCRP nor anyone else disproved Drop Site’s allegations and Drop Site stands by them. And the evidence does not support OCCRP’s claim of journalistic independence….

February 5, 2025 – Hillary Clinton is dinged twice by new Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in a Twitter/X exchange about DOGE

I know you’re lashing out because DOGE is uncovering your family’s obscene grifting via USAID, but I won’t let you lie and distort facts. The FAA administrator announced he resigned over a month before Trump took office, and the air traffic controllers were always exempt from Trump’s civil service buyouts.

The previous administration shamelessly used USDOT as a slush fund for the Green New Scam, throwing away money and resources on wasteful environmental and social justice projects rather than updating our nation’s antiquated air traffic control systems and other critical infrastructure.

I’m returning this department to its mission of safety by using innovative technology in transportation and infrastructure. Your team had its chance and failed. We’re moving on without you because the American people want us to make America’s transportation system great again. And yes, we’re bringing the 22-year-olds with us.

February 5, 2025 – Seventeen State Attorneys General unite to challenge Biden’s pardon and vow to prosecute Anthony Fauci

Seventeen state attorneys general have formally requested aid from Republican congressional leaders to delve deeper into the origins of COVID-19 and explore possible legal actions against Dr. Anthony Fauci at the state level.

This concerted effort, spearheaded by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, aims to circumvent the preemptive pardon issued by Joe Biden on his last day in office, which sought to shield Fauci from federal prosecution.

This pardon covers any federal offenses Fauci may have committed between January 1, 2014, and the date of the pardon.

“President Biden’s blanket pardon of Dr. Fauci is a shameful attempt to prevent accountability,” said Attorney General Wilson.

“We are fully prepared to take appropriate action to ensure justice is served if our findings indicate violations of state laws.”

The state attorneys general emphasize that the federal pardon does not preclude state-level legal actions and are actively seeking further details from Congress to facilitate state investigations and potential prosecutions.

In a forceful letter addressed to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, the attorneys general praised Congressional efforts to uncover potential misconduct and urged cooperation to pursue any violations of state laws.

The letter reads:

Individuals seem intent on preserving the status quo. Why?

I used AI to help come up with the clearest explanation of the Uniparty possible.

The Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS) is a coalition of three organizations:

✅ International Republican Institute (IRI) – Aligns with center-right and conservative political groups.
✅ National Democratic Institute (NDI) – Works with center-left and progressive groups.
✅ International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) – Focuses on electoral integrity and administration.

USAID:
💰 CEPPS operates under funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to promote democracy, elections, and political party development worldwide.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), another USAID entity, also supports IRI and NDI, along with other initiatives globally.

In summary: USAID and NED provide funding, CEPPS (via IRI, NDI, and IFES) implements programs, and IRI/NDI engage with political parties abroad, mirroring the U.S. Republican and Democratic Party structures.

February 7, 2025 – Federal Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly blocks DOGE from accessing Treasury data

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly (Credit: public domain)

On Thursday Federal Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly decided she was the true elected leader of the United States and she blocked the the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from obtaining access to ‘sensitive‘ Treasury Department payment records for a period of time.

Kollar-Kotelly is very upset that President Trump, Elon Musk, and the DOGE investigators were finding billions of dollars in fraudulent payments in their investigation of the federal government.

Kollar-Kotelly decided she must take action and she put a stop to this fraud-finding operation.

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly wrote in her order that Treasury officials “will not provide access to any payment record or payment system of records maintained within the [Treasury] Bureau of Fiscal Service.”

Here is a link to the order here.

February 7, 2024 – U.S. taxpayers are funding an obscure news agency through USAID called Internews Network; There are 467 grants totaling $476.4 million

Internews launches the Media Viability Accelerator, September 2024 (Credit: public domain)

This is way bigger than the Politico scandal.

U.S. taxpayers have been funding an obscure news agency called Internews Network for years.

Internews is funded heavily by the U.S. government, primarily through USAID. There are 467 grants for Internews totaling a whopping $476.4 MILLION on the USASpending.gov website.

These massive figures track with Internews’ Form 990s, where it discloses tens of millions of dollars in government grants every year.

What is Internews? The organization claims to be an “international nonprofit” that supports “independent media” in emerging democracies and uses media as a tool to reduce conflict.

A government supporting “independent media” is obviously a contradiction in terms so something else must be going on here.

The National Endowment for Democracy, founded in 1983 by Ronald Reagan to promote “democracy” worldwide, but since hijacked by globalists and leftists, has also given significantly to Internews through its Center for International Media.

NED was briefly defunded in 1993 by Republicans, but currently its budget is estimated to be a massive $330 million a year. Trump had proposed slashing NED’s funding in 2018.

Internews is listed as a recipient of NED’s contributions. For example, the NED’s media initiatives through CIMA was at least $18.7 million in 2015 and Internews was one of the listed recipients.

NED has been strongly associated with engineering “colored revolutions” around the globe, and by extension, so is Internews. They are both involved in nearly ever hotspot on the planet: Venezuela, Kazakhstan, Myanmar, Cambodia, Afghanistan… the list goes on and on.

Who used to sit on the Board of Directors for National Endowment for Democracy? None other than Victoria Nuland, who was the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs from 2021 to 2024.

Who ran USAID from 2021 to 2025, which funded Internews? Samantha Power.

If you look at Internews Agency’s board you realize these are not your average “journalists.”

Jeanne Bourgault has been leading Internews as President and CEO since 2019, according to its official website. She joined the organization in 2001 and has been instrumental in expanding its programs to over 100 countries, focusing on supporting local media and ensuring access to “trustworthy information.” Before her tenure at Internews, Bourgault worked with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), including a three-year assignment at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.

Meera Selva currently serves as the Chief Executive for Europe at Internews. She previously directed the Journalist Fellowship Program at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, again from the website.

Jodie Ginsberg served as the Chief Executive of Internews Europe from 2019 until 2022. Prior to this role, she was the CEO of Index on Censorship, a London-based freedom of expression organization. Ginsberg began her career as a journalist with Reuters, the website notes.

Get the picture?

This is, of course, nothing new. The U.S. government’s funding of media operations and so-called journalists across the world has a long history.

During the mid-’70s, in the aftermath of Watergate, two congressional investigations – the Church and Pike committees, after Sen. Frank Church and Rep. Otis Pike – uncovered covert U.S. government operations in foreign countries.

They confirmed that that the CIA funded journalists (both foreign and American) and the U.S. government was subsidizing foreign print media, radio and television outlets – something the Soviets were also doing.

The CIA also ran Project Mockingbird, a covert operation to influence and manipulate journalists and to disseminate propaganda and control public perception.

Declassified documents and investigative reports suggest that the CIA has long engaged in media manipulation, particularly during the Cold War era.

As former CIA Director William Colby once put it, “The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.”

The CIA appears to have reorganized after having been exposed by the Church Committee in 1975. Those media manipulation operations seem to have been redirected through the State Department and USAID.

It is high time for another “Church Committee” to expose the U.S. government’s attack on free speech and independent media in the United States and throughout the world.

President Donald Trump fired Colleen Joy Shogan, the head of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

This is the same agency that targeted Trump over so-called “classified documents” lawfully stored at Mar-a-Lago.

“At the direction of President Trump, the Archivist of the United States has been dismissed tonight. We thank Colleen Shogan for her service,” Sergio Gor, director of the Presidential Personnel Office said on Friday evening.

February 8, 2025 – USAID and Internews Networks orchestrate global media control

USAID-Funded Internews CEO Jeanne Bourgault pushes for global advertising “exclusion list” to censor “disinformation” at the World Economic Forum.

Like what they did to 𝕏?

“Disinformation makes money. We need to follow that money. We need to work with the global advertising industry because a lot of those dollars go to pretty bad content, and so you can work really hard on exclusion lists or inclusion lists and really try to challenge the global advertising industry to focus their ad dollars towards the good news.”

Notably, Bourgault’s call for global ad boycotts coincided with a widespread advertising boycott targeting Elon Musk’s 𝕏, which has been at the forefront of defending free speech online.

USAID has funneled $472 million to Internews and $68 million to the WEF, where both groups collaborate on censoring the internet.

Is this a good use of American taxpayer funds?

USAID-funded Internews went from funding media organizations with George Soros to overthrow governments in Eastern Europe to calling for advertising boycotts to censor free speech online.

This is a textbook example of U.S. regime change tactics being redirected against domestic populism and American citizens.

In the 1990s, Internews partnered with the Soros Foundation to fund media organizations in post-Soviet nations, playing a pivotal role in the color revolutions of the 2000s in Serbia, Georgia, and Ukraine.

During Georgia’s Rose Revolution, Internews funded and trained journalists at Rustavi-2 TV, the leading channel driving the uprising.

“Media was very good at informing the public about what was going on, and it had a huge role in calling people onto the streets.” – Marc Behrendt, former Internews director for Georgia

By 2003, in Ukraine, Internews had conducted 220 media training programs, trained over 2,800 journalists, and produced more than 220 television and 1,000 radio programs. It also funded Telekritika, an online outlet that played a central role in the 2004 Orange Revolution.

After Brexit and Donald Trump’s election in 2016, Internews—now working with the USAID-funded World Economic Forum (WEF)—shifted its focus to pushing advertising boycotts to suppress online dissent.

What was once a U.S.-funded operation to overthrow foreign regimes is now being used to silence American citizens and dismantle Trump’s populist MAGA movement.

The Price Tag?

USAID has funneled over $470 million in taxpayer dollars into Internews.

The dissemination of information has long been a battleground for ideological and political power. Control the narrative, and you control the minds that shape the future. Internews, a nonprofit organization that positions itself as a champion of independent media, is in reality one of the most insidious forces in global information warfare. With its extensive reach—boasting the training of 100,000 journalists in over 100 countries—Internews operates as an international media cartel, shaping narratives that align exclusively with far-left ideologies while undermining conservative movements worldwide. It functions as an enforcement mechanism for progressive orthodoxy, cloaking itself in the rhetoric of free press and journalistic integrity while methodically silencing dissent.

One might initially dismiss such claims as hyperbolic, but the evidence is staggering. In Ukraine alone, Internews has trained 5,000 journalists. Globally, it has indoctrinated 38,000 media educators, reporters, and fact-checkers on the purported mission of combating “misinformation”—a term increasingly deployed to delegitimize viewpoints that deviate from left-wing narratives. Behind the benign facade of media training lies a targeted effort to shape public discourse by ensuring that only select ideological perspectives receive legitimacy. Internews does not seek merely to report the news but to curate what is permissible as news.

Internews’s funding sources betray its true objectives. It is no accident that USAID, the CIA’s tool for ideological influence operations, provides up to 90% of Internews’s budget. USAID’s historical entanglement with regime-change operations and the promotion of progressive social policies should alone raise suspicions about the kind of “independent media” that Internews claims to support. But even more telling is the financial backing from George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, a network infamous for bankrolling leftist movements under the pretense of fostering democracy. The confluence of Soros’s globalist agenda and USAID’s interventionist ethos ensures that Internews operates not as a neutral media entity, but as a propaganda wing for international leftism.

Internews has played a direct role in creating political upheavals across the world, particularly in Venezuela, Kazakhstan, Myanmar, and Afghanistan. In each of these nations, CIA and USAID foreign policy interests have leveraged Internews to foster dissent, support opposition movements, and ultimately engineer instability. By flooding these regions with Internews-trained journalists and media networks, the organization has been instrumental in shaping narratives that align with U.S. geopolitical objectives, undermining sovereign governments in favor of pro-Western factions.

Former high-ranking U.S. officials, including Victoria Nuland and Samantha Power, have been key figures in overseeing agencies that fund Internews, reinforcing its ties to globalist foreign policy objectives. Nuland, in particular, played a pivotal role in utilizing Internews to control Ukrainian media. Under her direction, Internews and USAID effectively took control of 9 out of 10 major media companies in Ukraine, ensuring that local reporting adhered to a strict pro-Western and anti-Russian agenda. These media outlets became entirely dependent on Internews and USAID funding, with their reporters trained and guided by Internews operatives. It is no coincidence that Internews-backed journalists were instrumental in organizing the Maidan protests and the broader color revolution that ultimately led to regime change in Ukraine.

A closer examination of Internews’s role in narrative control further unravels its claims of neutrality. The organization is heavily involved in determining which news outlets are deemed purveyors of “misinformation”—a label that has become a convenient pretext for censorship. It does not merely flag content for scrutiny; it pressures advertisers to withhold funding from outlets that fail to conform to its ideological litmus test. By leveraging financial strangulation, Internews ensures that conservative, nationalist, and libertarian perspectives are systemically deplatformed. This economic coercion is an insidious means of silencing dissent, executed under the guise of maintaining journalistic integrity.

Perhaps most chilling is Internews’s alignment with the climate alarmist movement and its role in controlling COVID-19 reporting. It is not content to allow open debate on climate science and policy; rather, it rigidly enforces a doctrine of climate panic. Skepticism of radical environmental policies is summarily dismissed as misinformation, and journalists trained under Internews’s programs are conditioned to treat dissenters as heretics. Similarly, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Internews played a pivotal role in suppressing alternative viewpoints. Under pressure from USAID and the CIA—despite the latter’s own knowledge that the virus originated from the Wuhan lab—Internews pressured media outlets to reject the lab leak theory outright. It also worked to delegitimize alternative treatments like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, ensuring that only government-approved pharmaceutical solutions received coverage. Furthermore, it actively pressured media to deny any vaccine-related side effects, insisting that the vaccines were safe and effective even as evidence emerged to the contrary. Mask mandates were similarly promoted without question, despite internal knowledge that they were ineffective in stopping the spread of the virus. In doing so, Internews abandoned the core tenets of journalism—objectivity, balance, and inquiry—and embraced advocacy masquerading as reporting.

The broader implications of Internews’s work are deeply concerning. It does not simply train journalists; it manufactures ideological foot soldiers. By embedding itself in media infrastructures across the world, Internews serves as a de facto Ministry of Truth, determining what can be said, who can say it, and what the public is permitted to believe. This is not media freedom—it is media subjugation.

The conservative resistance to Internews must be steadfast. Exposing its financial underpinnings, its ideological biases, and its coercive tactics is essential to reclaiming journalistic integrity. The first step is to challenge the notion that Internews is an impartial organization. It is not. It is a politically motivated entity with a clear mission: to eliminate opposition to the progressive agenda and to ensure that future generations inherit a world where the left’s narratives are the only ones that remain.

Those who care about genuine press freedom must recognize the true nature of Internews. It is not a beacon of independent journalism, but a hegemonic force in media manipulation. Its pervasive influence must be countered with unwavering resolve, lest the very concept of free thought become a relic of the past.

February 8, 2025 – Wikileaks drops bombshells about USAID and secret NGO “Internews Network”

Revelations about USAID funding media outlets like Politico and the BBC made for compelling news this week, but those reports have now been dwarfed by a blockbuster revelation through Wikileaks.

USAID has paid nearly half-a-billion dollars to “Internews Network,” a secretive government-funded NGO that spreads propaganda and controls the media narrative across the globe.

(Read more: JD Rucker/Substack, 2/08/2025)  (Archive)

USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive US government financed NGO, “Internews Network” (IN), which has “worked with” 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and “training” over 9000 journalists (2023 figures). IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives.

The operation claims “offices” in over 30 countries, including main offices in US, London, Paris and regional HQs in Kiev, Bangkok and Nairobi. It is headed up by Jeanne Bourgault, who pays herself $451k a year. Bourgault worked out of the US embassy in Moscow during the early 1990s, where she was in charge of a $250m budget, and in other revolts or conflicts at critical times, before formally rotating out of six years at USAID to IN.

Bourgault’s IN bio and those of its other key people and board members have been recently scrubbed from its website but remain accessible at archive.org. Records show the board being co-chaired by Democrat securocrat Richard J. Kessler and Simone Otus Coxe, wife of NVIDIA billionaire Trench Coxe, both major Democratic donors. In 2023, supported by Hillary Clinton, Bourgault launched a $10m IN fund at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). The IN page showing a picture of Bourgault at the CGI has also been deleted.

IN has at least six captive subsidiaries under unrelated names including one based out of the Cayman Islands. Since 2008, when electronic records begin, more than 95% of IN’s budget has been supplied by the US government (thread follows)

February 8, 2025 – NY Judge forbids all political appointees from accessing Department of Treasury data (this would include Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent)

New York Judge Paul Engelmayer just forbade all political appointees — including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — from accessing Dept. of Treasury data, all based on Blueanon conspiracy theories!!

Those theories couldn’t be challenged because the order was EX PARTE — meaning Trump’s lawyers weren’t warned, and couldn’t weigh in. Only Democrat Attorneys General were allowed to argue.

The judge cites no law or logic to support this unprecedented order, because it defies both. The judge’s ruling is, in essence, that Scott Bessent simply occupies a ceremonial position without real power, like the King of England.

This is a grenade thrown into the functioning of the Treasury Department.

It forbids the elected government from accessing information about budget and finances. Instead, only the permanent, deep-state government can know what’s being spent.

It means Scott Bessent’s subordinates have far more power than Scott Bessent does.

Democrat pundits who whine about the Constitution are liars, and will shred it the first chance they get.

For now, the order is only for the next week, but if a court tries to make it permanent the Trump Administration should absolutely consider defying it.

Better yet, SCOTUS should bar this judge from ever hearing similar cases again, and every Democrat lawyer involved should be sanctioned.

This ruling is pure judicial sabotage. A New York Obama judge has just declared that the elected U.S. government cannot access Treasury Department data—all based on unchallenged, ex parte arguments from Democrat Attorneys General. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has effectively been stripped of his authority, with bureaucrats now holding more power than the officials appointed to lead them. This is how the deep state operates: unelected judges and bureaucrats undermining the elected president in broad daylight.

The ruling isn’t just lawless—it’s an open attack on the functioning of the federal government. There is no legal basis for declaring a Treasury Secretary powerless to oversee budget and financial data. This is a blatant attempt to keep Trump’s administration from uncovering whatever financial games the Biden-era bureaucrats have been playing. What are they trying to hide?

If this ruling is allowed to stand, it will create a dangerous precedent where leftist judges can effectively shut down any part of the federal government they don’t like. SCOTUS needs to step in immediately. If necessary, the Trump administration should consider defying this outrageous order. No judge has the right to hand control of the U.S. Treasury to unelected bureaucrats. This is a crisis, and it needs to be treated as one.

Elon Musk is absolutely right—this Obama-appointed judge is nothing more than a partisan activist in a robe. The idea that the U.S. Treasury Secretary can be blocked from reviewing his own department’s financial data is beyond absurd. It’s a blatant power grab by the deep state to keep Trump’s administration from exposing the corruption and waste buried in Biden-era spending. What exactly are they trying to hide?

This ruling is lawless and unconstitutional. It allows unelected bureaucrats—who answer to no one—to control the flow of financial information while the elected government is left in the dark. That’s not democracy; it’s judicial sabotage. If this precedent stands, what’s next? A judge deciding the president isn’t allowed to command the military? The left is weaponizing the courts to paralyze the government, all to protect their own corruption.

This case needs to be overturned immediately, and if necessary, the Trump administration should ignore it outright. No judge has the right to block the executive branch from governing. SCOTUS should intervene, and every Democrat lawyer involved in this disgraceful ruling should be sanctioned. America doesn’t need more deep-state obstruction—it needs transparency, accountability, and a government that actually works for the people.

Ah, this is the deep state in broad daylight, don’t you see? A single activist judge, with no legal basis and no accountability, just unilaterally decided that elected officials—the very people chosen by the American people—aren’t allowed to control their own Treasury Department. Instead, the unaccountable bureaucrats, the swamp creatures, get full authority over the nation’s finances.

And the best part? Trump’s legal team wasn’t even given a chance to argue! Ex parte rulings like this are the stuff of banana republics, not constitutional governance. This isn’t a legal decision—it’s a coup by paperwork. A rogue judge just declared that the Treasury Secretary is nothing more than a ceremonial figure, while the real power stays in the hands of unelected bureaucrats.

This is an attack on the democratic process. If SCOTUS doesn’t shut this down immediately, Trump’s administration has every right to ignore it outright. The Constitution doesn’t give activist judges the power to override elections. Period. If they want a fight, they just might get one. Ok? Ok.

🚨 JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP’S TREASURY FROM SEEING ITS OWN DATA—INSANITY! 🚨

A New York judge just did the unthinkable—he banned Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent from accessing Treasury Department data. You read that right. The Biden-era deep state can still see everything, but the elected Trump administration officials? Locked out.

❌ No law supports this.
❌ No logic explains this.
❌ And Trump’s lawyers weren’t even allowed to challenge it!

Judge Paul Engelmayer handed down this outrageous ruling ex parte, meaning only Democrat Attorneys General got to argue. No debate, no defense—just raw judicial activism.

Elon Musk nailed it: “This ruling is absolutely insane!” How can anyone expect to fight fraud, waste, and abuse if the people in charge aren’t even allowed to see where the money is going?!

💰 Who benefits from this secrecy? The deep-state bureaucrats. The scammers. The people robbing taxpayers blind while pretending to care about democracy.

This order lasts a week for now—but if any court tries to make it permanent, Trump must consider defying it outright. Better yet, SCOTUS should step in immediately and put an end to this madness. This judge has no business ruling on cases he clearly sees as political weapons.

🔥 If you think the deep state is panicking and hiding something, drop a 🔥 in the replies!

February 9, 2025 – FOIA doc reveals USAID fully funded American al Qaeda terrorist Anwar Aulaqi’s college tuition

Looks like USAID supported college tuition for Anwar Aulaqi (Awlaki) who later became a high level al Qaeda terrorist.

Aulaqi falsely claimed he was born in Yemen to secure the financial help via the State Dept. when he was actually a US citizen, born in Las Cruces New Mexico.

Aulaqi would later develop close ties with several 9/11 hijackers and attain leadership status in AQ’s Yemen affiliate.

Aulaqi was the godfather of the digital jihad that leveraged his writings and the web to radicalize Americans to AQ’s cause.

Aulaqi became the first American targeted for death by the CIA. In 2011, he was killed in a US drone strike.

February 10, 2025 – DOGE unmasked the Uniparty and the NGO Boards they serve on

(An X Thread by @RepublicanData)

THE UNIPARTY UNMASKED – They Believe They Are “Democracy”

The seven NGOs in the chart below, in my view, represent the Uniparty. Each of these organizations receives substantial financial support from USAID or the Department of State.

Around 2019, the phrase “democracy in danger” began to dominate public discourse, amplified by the media. This was odd—after all, the U.S. is a democracy (or more precisely, a constitutional republic). But as I traced the influence of these NGOs, a pattern emerged: they are controlled by establishment politicians, they play a major role in shaping political narratives worldwide, and their core mission is always framed as “protecting democracy.”

Originally, these NGOs were created to support U.S. democratic efforts abroad—many of them emerging during the Cold War to combat the spread of communism. But with the fall of the Soviet Union, their original purpose faded. Instead of dissolving, they redefined their mission. Now, they have positioned themselves as the guardians of democracy itself.

This shift explains why Trump’s re-election was framed as a “threat to democracy.” To these NGOs, “democracy” means themselves. Their survival depends on maintaining that role, and any challenge to their authority is perceived as a direct attack on democracy itself.Image

To understand how these NGOs connect to democracy, let’s take a look at what AI says about the purpose of each one: 

🟥 International Republican Institute (IRI) (EIN 521340267) – Promotes democracy by training political parties and leaders, primarily supporting U.S. foreign policy interests through a Republican-aligned lens.

🟦 National Democratic Institute (NDI) (EIN 521338892) – Advances democracy by fostering political participation and governance reforms worldwide, aligned with Democratic Party priorities.

⚖️ Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS) (EIN 521943638) – A coalition of democracy-focused NGOs (IRI, NDI, IFES) that supports electoral processes, civil society, and governance reforms globally.

🗽 National Endowment for Democracy (NED) (EIN 521344831) – Acts as the primary funding hub for democracy promotion efforts worldwide, distributing U.S. government grants to NGOs supporting political and civil society development.

🗳 International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) (EIN 521527835) – Strengthens global democracy by providing technical assistance for election security, integrity, and voter participation.

📡 Internews (EIN 943027961) – Supports independent media and press freedom worldwide, shaping democratic discourse by training journalists and combating disinformation.

💰 Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) (EIN 521398742) – Promotes democracy through free-market economic policies, advocating for business-friendly governance and anti-corruption initiatives.

⚒️ Solidarity Center (EIN 472130723) – Advances democracy by supporting independent labor movements and workers’ rights, often partnering with unions to promote political engagement. 

Note what they all have in common? They are all dedicated to advocating democracy.

And they have redefined “democracy” to mean themselves.

Let’s dig into each one in detail. 

First up:

💰 Internews Network receives substantial U.S. government funding, with $94.5 million in active grants from USAID and the Department of State. Its IRS Form 990 reports $93.9 million in taxpayer funding, out of a $124 million total budget.

Among its principal officers includes 🔵 Anna Soellner – VP of Communications at Reddit.

For more on Internews Network, I refer to the Wikileaks thread x.com/wikileaks/stat…

⚖️ Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS) is another NGO promoting democracy worldwide. They have over half a billion dollars in active spending grants and $160+ million in annual contributions, mostly USAID.

💰Despite receiving grants for initiatives in countries such as Venezuela and Georgia, 100% of its funds act as a passthrough to three core organizations:

🔴 International Republican Institute (IRI) – 31% of CEPPS funding.
🔵 National Democratic Institute (NDI) – 41% of CEPPS funding.
⚖️ International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) – 28% of CEPPS funding.

Curiously, CEPPS reports no salaries. It is led by Kira Rebar, former foreign policy advisor to Bob Menendez, the now-indicted U.S. senator. 

International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) is one of the three CEPP organizations. Unlike other democracy-promoting NGOs, IFES does not receive direct USAID funding, but it still holds $33 million in active spending grants and operates with an annual budget of nearly $59 million.

Its notable principal officers include:

🔵 Steny Hoyer – Former Democratic Representative from Maryland and House Majority Leader.
🔴 Rob Portman – Former U.S. Senator from Ohio (Republican).
⚖️ M. Peter McPherson – Former USAID advisor. 

The other two CEPPS organizations, the NDI and IRI, must be viewed as part of the larger NED umbrella which includes four NGOs.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) was established in 1983 to advance democracy protection efforts worldwide. To prevent any single party from monopolizing its agenda, NED was structured as a bipartisan funding vehicle that supports two partisan-affiliated NGOs: the International Republican Institute (IRI) on the Republican side, and the National Democratic Institute (NDI) on the Democratic side.

NED itself holds approximately $1,618 million in active grants (allocated in a single large block by the Department of State) and operates with an annual budget of about $362 million. 

The National Democratic Institute (NDI) itself maintains a bipartisan leadership structure:

🔵 Karen Bass – Vice Chair of the National Endowment for Democracy; former U.S. Representative and current Mayor of Los Angeles (Democrat).
🔴 Elise Stefanik – Director at the National Endowment for Democracy; U.S. Representative from New York and House GOP Conference Chair (Republican).
🔴 Mel Martinez – Director at the National Endowment for Democracy; former U.S. Senator from Florida (Republican).
🔴 Peter Roskam – Vice Chair at the National Endowment for Democracy; former U.S. Representative from Illinois (Republican).
🔴 Steve Biegun – Director at the National Endowment for Democracy; former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State (Republican).

In addition to NDI and IRI, the NDI supports Center for International Private Enterprise and Solidarity Center. 

Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) is bipartisan as well.

🔴 Neil Bradley – President/Secretary; former Executive Vice President and Chief Policy Officer at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
🔴 Kim R. Holmes – Vice Chair; former Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs under President George W. Bush; previously the Executive Vice President at The Heritage Foundation.
🔵 Ruchi Bhowmik – Director; former deputy cabinet secretary to President Barack Obama. VP of Pubic Policy at Netflix.
🔵 Douglas Lute – Former Director (until 05/23); retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General and former U.S. Ambassador to NATO under President Obama. 

Although CIPE’s stated mission is to promote democracy and free markets through a business-oriented approach, its actual activities are unclear from its IRS Form 990. The majority of its expenses go toward salaries and a broad “Other” category, which lacks detailed breakdowns. The Schedule O explanation doesn’t provide much clarity—it mostly lists consulting fees and program service expenses, without specifying how these expenditures advances its mission.

The Solidarity Center is another core beneficiary of NED, affiliated with AFL-CIO, making it closely tied to labor unions. (It could be seen as the labor counterpart to the free-market-focused CIPE.)

Although it doesn’t appear in my graph due to lower reported contributions, its official 2020 financial report shows it received $39 million in federal awards that year. Additionally, by searching the DataRepublican database, I found a federal award granted directly to the American Center for International Labor, which is connected to the Solidarity Center and holds $105 million in active spending grants.

The International Republican Institute (IRI) is the third NED-funded NGO that, again, promotes democracy worldwide through a Republican-aligned perspective. Its leadership is dominated by establishment Republican politicians.

🔴 Mitt Romney – Director; Former U.S. Senator from Utah, 2012 GOP presidential nominee.
🔴 Lindsey Graham – Director; U.S. Senator from South Carolina.
🔴 Joni Ernst – Director; U.S. Senator from Iowa.
🔴 Tom Cotton – Director; U.S. Senator from Arkansas.
🔴 Marco Rubio (Formerly)
🔴 Dan Sullivan – Chairman; U.S. Senator from Alaska.
🔴 Kelly Ayotte – Director; former U.S. Senator from New Hampshire.
🔴 Mark Kirk – Director; former U.S. Senator from Illinois. 

Although IRI does not have a Schedule I on its 990, its audit is illuminating. It reports 38 million in salaries, 17.5 million in “fringe benefits”, 3 million in rent, 12 million on travel.Image

🔴 IRI also funds some progressive-aligned NGOs, despite its Republican affiliation.

🌍 International Organization for Migration (IOM) – A UN-associated NGO focused on refugee and displaced persons aid. It manages migration-related programs worldwide.

♀️ Office of Global Women’s Issues (S/GWI) – A division within the U.S. Department of State that ensures women’s and girls’ rights are fully integrated into U.S. foreign policy.Image
Image

The National Democratic Institute (NDI) is the fourth and final NED-financed NGO. It serves as the Democratic counterpart to IRI. Its principal officers include:

🔵 Barbara Mikulski – Director; longest-serving woman in the U.S. Senate, former Maryland Senator (Democrat).
🔵 Thomas Daschle – Chairman; former Senate Majority Leader, key figure in Democratic legislative strategy (Democrat).
🔵 Stacey Abrams – Director; high-profile Georgia political leader, voting rights advocate, and former gubernatorial candidate (Democrat).
🔵 Donna Brazile – Director; veteran Democratic strategist, former DNC chair, and political commentator (Democrat). 

Like the IRI’s audit, the NDI’s makeup is heavy on salaries, travel, and fringe benefits.Image
Image

NDI has $47 million in active spending grants worldwide.

Some of its major grantees, as listed on its IRS Form 990 Schedule I, include:

📡 Internews Network – Received $2.3 million to support independent media and press freedom initiatives.
⚖️ American Bar Association – Granted $1.1 million for legal and judicial development programs related to democracy.
🔴 International Republican Institute (IRI) – Surprisingly, NDI awarded $1 million to its Republican-aligned counterpart, despite their partisan affiliations, showing how these democracy-promoting NGOs interconnect as a true Uniparty.Image
Image

🧵 Thread End. I learned a lot in creating this thread and I hope you did too! 

After thinking it over last night, here’s how I would summarize it: These seven NGOs (eight if you count the off-the-chart Solidarity Center) together function as an “off-the-books” shadow U.S. government.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) was created to unify the U.S. against communism. Its four core organizations reflect a neat ideological symmetry of America’s two-party system:
➜CIPE pushes free-market policies, Solidarity Center represents labor and unions.
➜IRI serves Republican interests, and NDI aligns with the Democrats.

CEPPS is another umbrella group that includes IRI and NDI but also brings in IFES under the guise of fortifying election integrity.

And to make sure the narrative sticks, Internews Network spreads these viewpoints through global media.

Most of these NGOs were born during the Reagan years. While not all USAID and State Department funding flows through them, they control the purse strings for much of America’s global financial influence.

DEI initiatives created a system of unaccountability and dependency, which ended up injecting more money into them and further entrenches their power.

They see any challenge to their authority as a threat to democracy itself. But their greatest enemy is still the same one they’ve had since the Cold War—Russia. They’ve never lost the “Cold War” boomer mindset.

In their minds, they’re the superheroes keeping America from crumbling. And that entitles them to their travel perks, cushy post-election gigs, and all the other benefits that come with running an unacknowledged empire.

February 10, 2025 – DOGE: FEMA sent $59M last week to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants

FEMA blatantly ignored Trump’s executive order and spent $59 million on luxury NYC hotels for illegal aliens in just one week—a direct illegal aliens and a slap in the face to American taxpayers. This isn’t just bureaucratic incompetence; it’s deliberate sabotage. Whoever authorized this needs to be fired immediately and held accountable for illegally diverting taxpayer money.

While American citizens struggle with disasters, FEMA—under corrupt deep-state operatives—decided that housing illegal migrants in luxury accommodations was a higher priority. Not emergency relief, not helping disaster victims, but providing premium hotel stays for people who shouldn’t even be in the country. This is why the system is broken—unelected bureaucrats think they can operate with zero consequences.

Now, Elon Musk confirms the U.S. will try to recoup the money. But the real question is: Will there be real consequences? Trump is taking back control, but these rogue agencies are still packed with bad actors defying his policies. The time for warnings is over—there must be mass firings, full investigations, and criminal charges if necessary.

The left is in full panic mode because their illegal immigration cash pipeline is being exposed and dismantled. But this only reinforces why the deep state must be purged. Americans deserve a government that works for them, not against them.

The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.

Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order.

That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals! A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.

DOGE: Elon’s @dogeteam discovered FEMA employees illegally sent $59 million last week (in violation of Trump’s EO) to house illegal aliens in New York. Perhaps more shockingly, the money went to Pakistan thanks to a deal brokered by Sen Schumer. The Roosevelt Hotel is owned by Pakistan and is now leased by NYC to house illegal migrants. Thanks to FEMA, Pakistan has made $100 million so far out of a total $220 million deal negotiated by the city.

The city of New York pays $220 million to rent the entire Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan to house illegal migrants.

The hotel is owned by the government of Pakistan, and the deal was part of a $1.1 billion IMF bailout package to help Pakistan avoid defaulting on their international debt.

Prior to this sweetheart deal, the hotel had been closed since 2020, having long-struggled with occupancy and in dire need of renovation.

UPDATE:

UPDATE

I have clawed back the full payment that FEMA deep state activists unilaterally gave to NYC migrant hotels.

FEMA was funding the Roosevelt Hotel that serves as a Tren de Aragua base of operations and was used to house Laken Riley’s killer.

Mark my words: there will not be a single penny spent that goes against the interest and safety of the American people.

February 10, 2025 – Google: An NGO is non-governmental because it operates without government control and oversight, even though it receives government funding

Did everyone else understand that Non Governmental Organizations, ie, NGOs, receive most if not all of their funding from the government, or was I just being ignorant?

If NGOs receive most if not all of their funding from the government, what is the basis for calling them non-governmental?

The answer according to Google is that an NGO is non-governmental because it operates without governmental control and oversight even though it receives government funding.

Why is it beneficial for there to be non-profit organizations, that is NGOs, that receive all or substantially all of their funding from our government, but don’t have any government oversight or control?

Non-profits are not known for having good governance. The combination of funding without oversight and control creates the opportunity for fraud, waste and abuse that we have seen in some of the USAID grants that have been made public in the last week or so.

In the private markets, that is the real world, a majority shareholder would have control and oversight. Why do we allow our government to make majority investments without control and oversight? It makes no sense.

It is time we scrutinize all NGOs and reconsider investing taxpayer money in private organizations without proper oversight and control consistent with what a majority investor would expect in a private corporation.

February 10, 2025 – Kristi Noem accuses the FBI of leaking internal government documents planning a ‘large scale’ raid in Los Angeles

Kristi Noem has launched a scathing attack on the FBI after details of an immigration raid were leaked to the media.

Donald Trump‘s Homeland Security Secretary reacted Sunday to an article in the Los Angeles Times that cited leaked internal government documents planning a ‘large scale’ raid in the Californian city.

‘The FBI is so corrupt,’ Noem wrote on social media on Monday. ‘We will work with any and every agency to stop leaks and prosecute these crooked deep state agents to the fullest extent of the law.’

A federal law enforcement source said that FBI agents and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents were being called into help immigration enforcement officials to assist the deportation force. (Read more: The Daily Mail, 2/10/2025)  (Archive)

February 12, 2025 – Mike Benz on Joe Rogan: Barack Obama laundered USAID money through Cayman Islands to fund and train “Rent-a-Riots” to overthrow governments

Barack Obama was using USAID to pretend to send money to a country for “aid” and instead laundering it to the Cayman Islands

He would then use that money to fund and train “Rent-a-Riots” for protests to overthrow governments

Sound familiar?

Mike Benz on Joe Rogan: “A scandal during the Obama USAID era. We were running a number of rogue USAID operations in Cuba at the time. — I’m simply showing the American people where your tax dollars are going and how these things are structured in order to systematically fool you and to fool Congress and to fool the White House:

— USAID pumped $1.2 billion in, and we sponsored these activist groups and these civil society organizations to learn how to use Facebook, learn how to use Twitter, lose, learn how to use hashtags, learn how to coordinate street protests so that everyone knows where to go, what street to show up on, what kind of slogans to know, to use in order to create the pro-democracy predicate for it.”

He talks about how Obama funded a Twitter clone that would be used to push propaganda in Cuba to inspire these protests and overthrow the government (Mike Benz explains how Barack Obama overthrew many governments)

“So what they did is they took the exact same thing as Twitter, same user interface, same like, and retweet button zunzunio is, is the Cuban slang word for hummingbird. So just, it means it’s it’s bird, it was the Twitter bird, the whole thing. But the whole trick about it was you have to make it look like it’s coming from the Cubans if you’re going to do this operation

— We can get into the deeper layers of this, but contractors were funded by USAID

The data would then be used for micro targeting efforts towards anti and pro government users. In Cuba, the developers aim to, at first used non-controversial content such as sports and music and hurricane updates — What was the plan the whole time? Once they built up enough subscribers, they would begin to introduce political messages through social bots and encourage dissent in this, in this astroturfing — the whole point is, once they hit a critical mass, they would create ‘Rent-a-Riots”

“You’re using Cayman Islands bank accounts. You’re saying it’s, you’re earmarking it for Pakistani aid.” But the money was never sent to Pakistan, it was sent to the Cayman Islands to fund this whole operation

All this and much more is broken down extremely well in this video. This is INSANE

February 12, 2025 – A DHS audit finds FEMA has misspent billions of taxpayers’ dollars for years

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has mismanaged tens of billions of dollars over the years, according to numerous government reports on its spending.

The government agency’s response to COVID, hurricanes, floods and housing migrants have all come under fire for being wasteful and going largely unchecked — and the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been sent in to analyze its spending.

The most recent audit of the embattled disaster response agency claimed it mismanaged nearly $10 billion during the COVID pandemic between 2020 and 2023.

FEMA even approved a grant of $1.1 billion despite it only being supported by only a single piece of paper with no itemized costs, a Jan. 30 audit by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General found.

The request was also “not prepared by a licensed professional engineer or cost-estimating professional,” according to the 36-page report.

The Trump administration has called for a complete overhaul of FEMA, which has a slated budget of $65 billion for fiscal year 2025.

During the pandemic, $1.5 billion was doled out “for one state’s medical staffing” without the proper vetting and “could have been put to better use for other disasters,” the January audit found.

“These issues occurred due to the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and FEMA not following established requirements when delivering public assistance funding,” said the report, which did not name the states that received the FEMA pandemic payments.

It also cited $8.1 billion distributed by FEMA for “costs that have yet to be determined allowable,” according to the report.

A leading FEMA critic said there is “no doubt” the agency made a mess of COVID disaster relief. (Read more: New York Post, 2/12/2025)  (Archive)

February 12, 2025 – Congress spent over $500 billion on expired programs last year without authorization

An explosive report has revealed just how deep the abuse of the government purse goes.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report that went viral this weekend.

The report detailed that the federal government spent over half a trillion dollars on programs that expired last year without ever actually authorizing the funding.

About 2,500 expired appropriations made up the $516 billion. That is no way to run a government.

From the CBO: “CBO identified 1,264 authorizations of appropriations that expired before the beginning of fiscal year 2024 and 251 authorizations of appropriations that were set to expire by the end of fiscal year 2024.

“CBO estimates that $516 billion was appropriated for 2024 for activities with expired authorizations, which the agency identified for each House and Senate authorizing committee (Table 1) and appropriations subcommittee (Table 2).”

24 laws were responsible for $470 billion of the $516 billion in total funding for expired authorizations that the CBO identified. 21 of those 24 laws also accounted for most of the funding in 2023 for expired authorizations.

Some of these laws date back to 40 YEARS AGO.

Here’s the list:

The news gets worse, though. Even more authorizations are set to expire this year, including $892 billion in defense spending.

February 12, 2025 – White House COVID Task Force Coordinator Deborah Birx came directly from USAID

Deborah Birx, who became the White House Coronavirus Task Force Coordinator on February 27, 2020, came directly from USAID – the department everyone now knows to be a front for CIA propaganda and regime change operations. (Credit: Alex Wong /Getty Images)

A long-time USAID “Ambassador” in Africa, Birx had no experience managing respiratory virus outbreaks

This article adds to the evidence presented in the COVID Dossier to support the following claim:

COVID was not a public health event, although it was presented as such to the world’s population. It was a global operation, coordinated through public-private intelligence and military alliances and invoking laws designed for CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) weapons attacks.

USAID-COVID CONNECTION

Here’s a fact about USAID and recent U.S. history that no one ever mentions:

Deborah Birx, who became the White House Coronavirus Task Force Coordinator on February 27, 2020, came directly from USAID – the department everyone now knows to be a front for CIA propaganda and regime change operations. [ref]

Birx was appointed by the National Security Council (NSC)

Almost exactly five years ago, the public was told that Deborah Birx was appointed by Vice President Mike Pence who, on February 26, 2020, took over coordination of the U.S. government’s response to the novel coronavirus. [ref]

The announcement said:

Ambassador Birx is a world-renowned global health official and physician. She will be detailed to the Office of the Vice President and will report to Vice President Mike Pence. She will also join the Task Force led by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar. She will be supported by the National Security Council staff. [ref]

This announcement contains hints that Birx was not chosen by public health agencies or officials. Rather, she appears to be coming from the national security apparatus, and “will be supported by the National Security Council staff.”

Further supporting this supposition, on March 11, 2020, at a Heritage Foundation Talk, Trump’s National Security Advisor, Robert O’Brien, when discussing what the White House and NSC were doing about the virus, said:

We brought into the White House Debi Birx, a fantastic physician and ambassador from the State Department. We appreciate Secretary Pompeo immediately moving her over to the White House at our, well at the President’s, request. [min. 21:43 – 21:56]

In other words, Birx was “moved over to the White House” by the Secretary of State, at the request of the National Security Council.

The National Security Council Was in Charge of the U.S. Government’s Covid Response

These facts about Deborah Birx’s appointment to the Task Force are consistent with the government pandemic planning documents that show the NSC – not the HHS, CDC, NIAID or any other public health agency – was in charge of the U.S. government’s Covid response policy.

February 12, 2025 – A trillion dollars in fraud, waste, and abuse—every single year—because of weak ID verification in government programs

Wow. Haywood Talcove, CEO of LexisNexis Special Services, testifying in front of the DOGE Subcommittee, says by implementing robust ID verification could save $1 trillion every single year in entitlements.

“Between federal, state, and local government, you can save one trillion dollars a year by simply putting in front-end identity verification, eliminating self-certification, and monitoring the back-end of the programs that are providing the benefits.”

A trillion dollars in fraud, waste, and abuse—every single year—because of weak ID verification in government programs. That’s what Haywood Talcove just exposed in front of the DOGE Subcommittee, and it confirms exactly what Trump and Musk have been saying: the system is completely broken and designed to enrich fraudsters, not serve the American people.

For years, Democrats have fought against basic ID verification, claiming it’s “unnecessary” while simultaneously allowing billions to flow into fraudulent claims—whether it’s welfare fraud, Medicaid scams, or illegal migrants gaming the system. One trillion dollars per year could be saved just by requiring real ID verification—but Biden’s bureaucrats would rather let that money vanish than admit their policies are enabling the fraud.

DOGE is exposing the deep rot within federal, state, and local governments. Every taxpayer should be outraged that their hard-earned money is being funneled into fake identities, self-certification scams, and unmonitored benefit programs that are effectively a Democrat slush fund.

This isn’t just incompetence—it’s deliberate. The Trump administration is now putting an end to the grift, and the panic from the establishment proves it. Fraud is over. The reckoning has begun.

February 13, 2025 – A Weaponized FBI: It’s real, whistleblowers testify, boasting scars to prove it

Democrats have cast the Trump administration’s ouster of eight senior FBI leaders as a “purge” and act of “retribution” from a weaponized Justice Department, some likening it to President Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre.”

But former colleagues of the terminated “G-men” say this narrative is backward. FBI officials, past and present, have marshaled significant evidence via whistleblower complaints and testimony indicating that several terminated leaders routinely used their offices for partisan purposes.

These include allegations that at least two of the fired officials, Jeffrey Veltri and Dena Perkins, manipulated the security clearance review process to personally and professionally punish conservatives, COVID-19 vaccine skeptics, and Jan. 6 whistleblowers who reported suspected bureau malfeasance, and retaliated against those who came to the whistleblowers’ defense.

A third, Timothy Dunham, is also alleged to have improperly suspended security clearances.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) read numerous accounts of alleged misconduct perpetrated by these and other officials into the record this morning as the committee considered the nomination of Kash Patel for FBI Director.

One subordinate of the three terminated individuals, a former supervisory special agent in the Security Division, “SecD,” from which Veltri and Perkins hailed, and whom Dunham oversaw, told the committee:

I witnessed abuses committed against multiple employees by FBI senior leaders, particularly by Jeff Veltri and Dena Perkins. I also saw SecD retaliate against five of its own employees for protesting these unlawful practices. Because I spoke out against these abuses, Perkins and Timothy Dunham suspended my security clearance, costing me my job and continuing employment, totaling approximately $700,000 in lost wages and retirement benefits.

Former FBI official Marcus Allen (Credit: video clipping)

Another former FBI official, Marcus Allen, told the committee that Veltri and Perkins “caused the suspension of my security clearance because I questioned whether the FBI Director was truthful to Congress and whether the FBI was obeying the law and Constitution in the January 6, 2021 investigations.” What followed left “financial and emotional damage to me and my family will never be completely restored.”

A third, Special Agent Garret O’Boyle, who has been indefinitely suspended without pay for well over two years in alleged retaliation for whistleblowing, told the committee that Veltri, Perkins, Dunham, “and other leadership up to Christopher Wray, are responsible for what happened to me and my family.”

“Ensuring that they no longer work at the FBI is not retribution; it’s responsible leadership.”

Patel has been nominated to replace Wray, who came under fire from Republicans who believed the bureau targeted Trump supporters, parents, pro-life activists, and others. The Republican allegations informed President Trump’s first-day executive order, “Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government,” and his Jan. 31 directive terminating eight high-level figures – including those overseeing branches from counterterrorism to criminal investigations and the heads of the bureau’s Miami and Washington field offices. The memo also called for a review of the work of all FBI personnel pertaining to Jan. 6, numbering 5,000 in all, for misconduct.

While no findings have been issued regarding that larger probe, the Jan. 31 memo, drafted by Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Emil Bove, suggests a legitimate rationale for terminating the FBI leaders. It notes that the bureau and they themselves were complicit in malfeasance pertaining to the Jan. 6 investigation, the weaponization of security clearances, and resisting Justice Department directives. Consequently, Bove wrote, the DOJ did not trust them “to assist in implementing the President’s agenda faithfully.”

The Justice Department did not respond to RealClearInvestigations’ inquiries in connection with this story, and RCI was unable to reach Veltri, Perkins, Dunham, or the five other terminated officials.

Democrats have assailed the firings. A letter signed by all 10 Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats stated, “Our alarm has only grown in the past two weeks as this purge of experienced career prosecutors and agents has expanded … We can only assume these decisions are intended to prevent the Department from investigating national security and public corruption, while also serving as political retribution against the President’s perceived enemies and stoking fear among the dedicated and talented workforce in our nation’s premier law enforcement agency.”

Sen. Mark Warner, Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, added: “These are people who have served our country, protected Americans and put criminals behind bars. Now they have been pushed out simply for doing their jobs.”

A central complaint of the whistleblowers is that, consistent with the Bove memo, FBI officials weaponized security clearances. Specifically, they allege that the bureau’s Security Division has baselessly suspended and/or revoked security clearances in retaliation against those who have made protected disclosures. As maintaining a security clearance is an essential condition of employment, the suspension of one’s clearance typically triggers an indefinite employment suspension without pay. The suspended are also barred from seeking outside employment or accepting gifts. The associated probes can last months and even years, with the targeted waiting first for their cases to be fully investigated and adjudicated, and then sometimes waiting still longer during an appeals process.

The process can be so onerous that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has noted that it can be leveraged to encourage disfavored employees to resign rather than fight a lengthy and costly battle.

While the FBI has denied claims that the Security Division has abused this power in recent years, Horowitz detailed misconduct in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee last September. His team had seen evidence indicating that the division had used the investigation and adjudication process to punish whistleblowers.

One whose case Horowitz highlighted involved Marcus Allen, a decorated Marine Corps veteran and award-winning FBI Staff Operations Specialist. Veltri and Perkins allegedly played an integral role in targeting him.

Allen’s duties included supporting the Charlotte, N.C. field office’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in ongoing investigations and intelligence requests pertaining to Jan. 6. This included gathering and sharing relevant open-source information. In September 2021, Allen reported to his supervisors that various news outlets, including RealClearInvestigations, RealClearPolitics, and the New York Times, had reported that confidential FBI informants were present at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and a “significant counter-story” had formed.

Allen told his colleagues, “There is a good possibility the DC elements of our organization are not being forthright about the events of the day or the influence of government assets.” Minutes later, he forwarded his colleagues an email with a link to a video contrasting the Times’ report with then-FBI Director Wray’s testimony in March 2021 before the Senate Judiciary Committee, suggesting Wray may not have provided the whole truth about the FBI’s links to Jan. 6.

Suspended Without Pay 27 Months

This would set off a chain of events that would leave Allen suspended and without pay for 27 months – forced, along with his wife, to take early withdrawals from their retirement accounts to make ends meet.

Charlotte field office personnel forwarded Allen’s emails to the FBI’s Office of General Counsel, which passed them to Veltri – then-head of the Security Division section responsible for all personnel investigations.

Rather than first passing concerns to the division’s referral evaluation unit, as is customary, Veltri instigated an immediate investigation on the grounds of Allen’s potential lack of allegiance to the U.S. A successor would call this an “abortion of the process.”

Days later, Veltri received an email from the Charlotte field office, which expressed “added concerns” regarding Allen. Delivered on behalf of that office’s head, then-Special Agent in Charge Robert Wells, one of the eight FBI officials the Trump administration would terminate, it noted that Allen was one of two employees not to attest to his COVID-19 vaccination status, even though President Biden had made vaccination mandatory for all federal employees.

Veltri’s then-Assistant Section Chief Perkins used the email as justification to instruct the FBI’s Insider Threat Office to open an assessment into Allen.

That office would review Allen’s communications and conclude he harbored “hostile views towards the FBI and current administration.” To justify this characterization, it stated that Allen had sent “links from questionable sources,” including RealClearPolitics. It surmised Allen was trafficking in “extremist propaganda” and that he “may pose an insider threat to the FBI.”

Yet a subsequent probe of Allen’s communications by the FBI would find “no information validating” the basis for an investigation into Allen. Interviews with four Charlotte field office officials indicated they lacked evidence that he was disloyal, sympathized with Jan. 6 rioters, or was otherwise ill-equipped to handle his duties.

Despite the misgivings of the investigator and his supervisors on the case, IG Horowitz found that security division management – which included Veltri and Perkins – insisted that Allen’s security clearance be suspended pending investigation.

A January 2022 memorandum did just that, claiming on the basis of his emails and refusal to comply with the vaccine mandate that Allen “promoted unreliable information which indicates support for the events of January 6th” and “espoused conspiratorial views.”

According to the D.C.-based watchdog group that helped represent Allen, Empower Oversight, the agent was in limbo for 27 months while his case was investigated, adjudicated, and appealed.

When interviewed by the security division in connection with his case – some four months after his clearance and pay had been suspended – Allen, a self-described “faithful Catholic,” indicated that “the Holy Spirit compelled him” to make the disclosure that would land him in hot water.

Veltri would allegedly deride Allen for that remark, suggesting, according to another division official represented by Empower Oversight, that he “was delusional for referring to his religious belief … for disclosing wrongdoing.”

Even though, as his counsel has detailed, all line-level employees who reviewed the Allen case believed he should retain his clearance, the bureau revoked his clearance under pressure from management, purportedly including Veltri.

Three individuals within the division responsible for processing Allen’s case would be reassigned in retaliation for disclosing misconduct in the division’s targeting of him.

It was not until May 2024 – after Horowitz’s office had initiated a reprisal investigation – that Allen reached a settlement with the Justice Department, agreeing to resign in exchange for full back pay and reinstatement of his security clearance.

Horowitz’s office would issue a May 2024 memorandum providing employees claiming reprisal additional means to defend themselves against indefinite unpaid suspension in light of Allen’s tribulations.

The Case of Garret O’Boyle

FBI whistleblower Garret O’Boyle (Credit: public domain)

In emotional testimony before Congress last fall, Allen lamented that Special Agent Garret O’Boyle was being subjected to a similarly tortuous process.

O’Boyle, a veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, alleges that he was targeted by Perkins on baseless grounds – and has been suspended without pay for nearly two-and-a-half years.

Empower Oversight, which also serves as his counsel alongside several Security Division whistleblowers, has detailed that in late 2021 and early 2022, O’Boyle began making a series of protected disclosures, first internally regarding FBI COVID-19 policies that he believed were unconstitutional and unlawful, and then to Congress concerning the politicization of the FBI.

Among the congressional disclosures was his view that the bureau may have opened a politically motivated criminal investigation into conservative muckraker Project Veritas – about which the Justice Department had made false claims in court.

In May 2022, Project Veritas published an interview with a masked FBI official making similar claims.

After applying for and being accepted to a new assignment with a start date of September 2022, in August, O’Boyle sold his Kansas home and prepared to move to Virginia with his three children and his wife, who was eight months pregnant. On the first day, upon arriving at his new post, O’Boyle was accused of leaking information to the press and had his security clearance suspended. He and his family were effectively rendered homeless, since he had not closed on his new home, and was left without an income.

The Security Division investigator on O’Boyle’s case had previously told the then-Acting Section Chief Perkins that there was no evidence O’Boyle had leaked anything to the media. Rather, he had disclosed to his superiors that he believed O’Boyle may have made protected disclosures to Congress. Yet, as Empower Oversight President Tristan Leavitt told the House Judiciary Committee last fall, Perkins “responded that she had already briefed the FBI’s 7th floor that SA O’Boyle was a media leaker, and did not want to correct this misunderstanding.”

Evidence suggests that Veltri and Perkins discussed O’Boyle’s transfer in advance of his move, with whistleblowers inferring that a scheme was hatched to ensnare him.

Shortly after the suspension, Veltri would be made head of the FBI’s Miami field office, its fifth-largest. He would lead the investigation into the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. At the time, earlier reports resurfaced that Veltri had demonstrated an anti-Trump bias, claims the FBI batted down.

The bureau revoked O’Boyle’s security clearance in July 2024 after it became aware he had made protected disclosures to the DOJ inspector general and in advance of coming hearings where O’Boyle’s plight was likely to be exposed.

That month, O’Boyle’s legal team, which also includes the American Center for Law & Justice and Binnall Law Group, filed a “request for reconsideration” of the revocation. That entitles O’Boyle to review the evidence used to justify the revocation. O’Boyle’s team did not receive such information until six months later, on Jan. 30, 2025. The receipt of that information triggers a 30-day period with which to prepare and submit his appeal.

“The crazy Kafkaesque system puts deadlines on the employee, but the FBI has an infinity whenever it wants – zero deadlines on its responses,” Jason Foster, Empower Oversight’s Founder and Chairman, told RCI.

Perkins reportedly pushed an unnamed adjudicator who had recommended ending O’Boyle’s suspension out of his job .

According to this adjudicator’s disclosure to Congress, “Perkins has moved several other employees who report to her for recommending decisions contrary to her interests [and] bases many of her decisions on favoritism.”

She “is considered corrupt and dishonest by FBI employees,” he said.

These claims dovetail with those of a former supervisory special agent at the Security Division — the supervisor whose testimony Chairman Grassley read into the record this morning. The agent, a Democrat, is also represented by Empower Oversight.

In a July 2024 letter summarizing some of the unnamed whistleblower’s claims, Leavitt said his client had observed that:

The outcomes of clearance investigations and adjudications were often pre-determined by the Division’s acting Deputy Assistant Director [Veltri] and the acting Section Chief [Perkins] responsible for security clearance investigations and adjudications, who often overruled line staff and even dictated the wording of documents in the clearance process.

In a related letter to Horowitz and the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility, the FBI official of nearly 20 years disclosed, through Empower, that during his time as a Security Division investigator under the leadership of Veltri and Perkins, it was common for investigators to ask “whether employees under investigation had vocalized support for former President Donald Trump or whether they had vocalized objection to the COVID-19 vaccine.”

Veltri and Perkins allegedly would “ask in staff meetings whether employees whose clearances were under investigation had received the vaccine.”

The supervisory special agent asserted that the duo’s perspective “was that if an FBI employee fit a certain profile as a political conservative, they were viewed as security concerns and unworthy to work at the FBI.”

In April 2022, investigators overseen by Veltri and Perkins issued a questionnaire reflecting this view in connecting with a probe of a 12-year FBI veteran whose security clearance had been suspended one month prior.

Under penalty of potential disciplinary action, investigators asked co-workers of the suspended employee whether he had vocalized “support for President Trump,” “objection to COVID-19 vaccination,” or “intent to attend 01/06/2021” – a reference to the Capitol riot.

The suspension came some 15 months after the agent had self-reported, following the events of Jan. 6, that while on personal leave, he had peacefully observed activities among crowds near the Capitol. After making disclosures to Congress regarding alleged politicization and security clearance process abuses in his case and others, he would have his security clearance revoked. After appealing, with the process dragging on, the agent retired.

As for the longtime supervisory special agent who had reported on Veltri and Perkins’ misconduct, he too had his security clearance suspended. Foster told RCI that the individual who signed off on the agent’s suspension was Timothy Dunham.

Another unnamed Empower client, Foster told RCI, claims that Dunham threatened to suspend the individual’s security clearance as a means of retaliation and delayed reinstating the security clearance of another employee for over a year.

Dunham served as the executive assistant director of the FBI’s human resources branch – under which the Security Division sits – from the summer of 2023 until his termination, pursuant to the Bove memorandum.

These terminations may be only the beginning of efforts to remedy alleged malfeasance pertaining to whistleblowers. Attorney General Pam Bondi, in establishing the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group shortly after her confirmation, indicated that one of its focuses will be examining “the retaliatory targeting, and in some instances criminal prosecution, of legitimate whistleblowers.”

February 13, 2025 – Top Biden HHS official funnels billions to illegal aliens through her nonprofit connections

Robin Dunn Marcos

A top official in the Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) directed millions in migrant assistance grants to nonprofits where she previously held senior positions, a watchdog report revealed Thursday.

Robin Dunn Marcos, who led HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) under former President Joe Biden, oversaw $22.6 billion in grant distributions since 2020, with her former employers emerging as top beneficiaries. The International Rescue Committee (IRC), where she spent 23 years as a senior director, received $598 million, while Church World Service, her employer of four years, was awarded $355 million, according to an OpenTheBooks report.

“Consistent with the Ethics Pledge, Robin Dunn Marcos is recused from participating in particular matters involving specific parties in which IRC is or represents a party,” a spokesperson for the Administration for Children and Families, ORR’s parent agency, told the outlet. “That recusal obligation lasts for two years from her date of appointment, which was September 11, 2022.”

While HHS officials maintained to the outlet that Dunn Marcos recused herself from decisions involving her former employers, OpenTheBooks reported that IRC’s funding increased dramatically during her tenure, jumping from $22 million in fiscal year 2021 to over $235 million in 2023.

Through a network of nonprofit organizations, ORR provided an extensive array of benefits to migrants, including dollar-for-dollar matching savings plans for vehicle and home purchases, small business loans up to $15,000 and credit repair loans up to $1,500. Additional services included “cultural orientation,” emergency housing support, legal assistance and Medicaid care. The OpenTheBooks report called the programs a “giant magnet for those seeking to cross the border and claim asylum.”

ORR dramatically increased funding in general during Dunn Marcos’ tenure, with annual grant disbursements soaring from $2.6 billion in fiscal year 2020 to a peak of $10 billion in fiscal year 2023, according to the watchdog group. The surge in spending coincided with record-breaking southern border crossings, as Customs and Border Protection reported 2.4 million apprehensions during the same period.

The most substantial portion of funding — $12.4 billion — went toward programs for unaccompanied minor children, even as the agency faced mounting criticism over its handling of minors in its care. Tom Homan, now President Donald Trump’s border czar, estimated that 300,000 migrant children were unaccounted for under the program’s watch, he said in a January 2023 interview with Fox News.

OpenTheBooks filed a Freedom of Information Act request in 2023 for any emails exchanged between Dunn Marcos and IRC and has not yet received a response. Dunn Marcos left her post at ORR after Trump took office in January. (Read more: The Daily Caller, 2/13/2025)  (Archive)

February 14, 2025 – FBI puts BLM take-the-knee agent in charge of Russia counterintelligence

Reforming the FBI is one of the most pressing national security priorities for the second Trump administration. Just how much FBI root-and-branch reform is urgently required has been revealed by troubling news from bureau headquarters.

Although President Donald Trump is promising to clean the FBI of its woke misadventures, woke business continues as usual at the bureau. Intelligence community sources with direct knowledge tell me that a senior agent who kneeled while on duty at a 2020 Black Lives Matter protest in Washington, D.C., has been promoted to one of the FBI’s most prized jobs. They say that Sarah Linden is a new deputy assistant director out of the FBI headquarters. There, Linden has been placed in charge of Russian counterintelligence in the national security branch. In other words, Linden is now the top U.S. counterspy against the Kremlin. The FBI declined to comment.

(…) Nevertheless, FBI leadership chose to reward, not punish, the kneelers. Several of the kneelers have seen their careers prosper because, not in spite, of their pro-BLM demonstration. In 2023, Congress asked questions about those agents, including Linden, who stood out in photos since she didn’t appear to meet the bureau’s physical fitness guidelines.

After the protest, Linden was promoted to assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s powerful Washington Field Office, which the bureau highlighted on social media. She headed that office’s Criminal and Cyber Division. Congressional questions about the BLM kneeling didn’t slow Linden’s advancement — rather the opposite.

Linden’s new appointment is to a big and very prestigious job. But it’s also a very important job. Russian intelligence officers have had relative freedom of action in the United States in recent years as counterintelligence resources have shifted toward China-related threats. Though, like most of the intelligence community, the FBI hasn’t been able to follow the evidence. Russian intelligence activity on U.S. soil has included suspected microwave energy attacks on U.S. personnel related to the so-called Havana syndrome concern.

Counterintelligence insiders tell me that Linden’s qualifications for her powerful new position are modest. Moreover, given the embarrassing hash that a politicized FBI made during Trump’s first term with the Russia espionage issue, skewing dubious counterintelligence claims to smear the White House, why on earth has the FBI placed an apparent left-wing activist in charge of this extremely sensitive national security mission?

February 14, 2025 – There is an eruption of D.C. internet searches for “BleachBit,” “Wipe Hard Drive,” “Criminal Defense Lawyer” that suggest deep state panic mode

Internet search trends in the Washington, DC, metro area have been nothing short of stunning in recent weeks, reflecting what appears to be growing panic within the federal bureaucracy as President Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) root out corruption in non-governmental organizations (NGO) and federal agencies.

Earlier this week, internet search trends for “Criminal Defense Lawyer” and “RICO Laws” went viral on X, fueling speculation that Washington’s political elites were in panic mode. The searches coincided with DOGE’s efforts to neuter USAID’s funding of NGOs that propped up a shadow government, as well as begin cutting tens of thousands of workers from various federal agencies.

Now, more suspicious search trends have erupted among DC residents as DOGE efforts went into beast mode at the end of the week.

“Washington DC searches soar for “Swiss bank” (yellow), “offshore bank” (green), “wire money” (red) and “IBAN” (blue),” WikiLeaks wrote on X late Thursday.

Search terms “Wipe” (blue) and “Erase” (red) also moved higher in recent weeks. Wipe hard drives?

Well, yes, the search term “wipe hard drive”across the DC metro has gone absolutely parabolic.

And “BleachBit” too!

February 14, 2025 – A list of the unreleased Russiagate documents

Russiagate is the greatest political scandal of all time for a simple reason: the combined forces of Obama, the sitting president at the time, along with the FBI and CIA, worked to take down President Trump based on something not only fabricated—but fabricated by them. It was an attempted coup by a sitting president against his democratically elected successor.

Yet here we are, eight years after the full weaponization of government to remove Trump, and not only has no one been held to account, but vast troves of critical documents remain unreleased.

While many documents have come out, there has been no concerted effort to secure the rest—nor even a clear list of what’s still missing.

Below is a list of crucial documents that remain unreleased (big thank you to @ClimateAudit and @FOOL_NELSON for compiling it). The list may not be complete, so feel free to add to it. The point is simple: if we don’t define what’s missing, there will be no effort to release it. We cannot let Obama’s attempted coup fade into history. There needs to be relentless pressure to get these documents released in the coming weeks and months—before new hoaxes are unleashed on Trump and this is once again forgotten:

February 13, 2025 – Shellenberger: USAID paid for Trump impeachment effort

Michael Shellenberger at a Congressional hearing on Thursday testified about a program funded and controlled by USAID that was used to propagate Russiagate.

REP. THOMAS MASSIE (R-KY): Mr. Shellenberger, can you explain how you traced USAID funding that served as the basis for whistleblower report in 2019 which led to the impeachment of President Trump?

MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER: Sure, well you may remember that the so-called whistleblowers in the White House was actually a CIA analyst and in that whistleblower’s complaint which led to the impeachment, one of the central pieces of evidence was created by a USAID-funded and controlled organization called the OCCRP. And we have another piece out today about how it participated in the Russiagate hoax as well, creating essentially very important information leading to that. So I mean you have in USAID a much larger fund of money and a much broader strategy for information control that included censorship but also as I mentioned taking control of investigative journalism really worldwide.

I amazing. So yeah, I mean that’s an agency when we saw that get shut down by Doge, I thought that was completely appropriate. If there’s something in there that it was doing that’s valuable, then you could refund it later.

But my view, same thing with CISA, death penalty for organizations that participated in violations of the First Amendment like CISA. Cybersecurity is an extremely important function. It shouldn’t be contaminated and undermined by censorship activities.

MASSIE: I think it’s always been known that our government has funded the change in administrations, if we can say it politely, of other governments. But isn’t it borderline treason when the taxpayer, when organizations entrusted with protecting our country are now undermining our own government?

SHELLENBERGER: Absolutely. I mean if you’re trying to do regime change, illegal, if you’re weaponizing DHS, FBI, CISA, that’s treasonous regime change activities redirected that you developed abroad, that we developed abroad for regime change directed against the American people and our representatives. I mean it’s shocking and we still haven’t dealt with it as a country.

Michael Schellenberger and Dan Bongino are covering the USAID aspect of the Trump impeachment but they are overlooking the outcome of that operation which was Norm Eisen’s first Trump impeachment which was to pre-bunk Joe Biden’s corruption before the 2020 election. The USAID story was one piece of that.

Norm then went on to work with the national security state on the lawfare portion to take out Trump. Senator Grassley exposed the operation. It was called Arctic Frost.

The National security state has been working with Norm Eisen to take out Trump since 2016. It’s called a color revolution/coup. They are continuing this effort today via lawfare (FBI case, USAID funding, all of the Trump EOs, etc).

Everyone involved should be charged with sedition and/or treason.

February 17, 2025 – US Congress: USAID Islamic terror financing allegations shake Washington

(Credit: RAIR Foundation)

The DOGE investigations have shattered long-dismissed claims that USAID is funneling American taxpayer dollars to terrorist organizations. What was once labeled “conspiracy theory” is now backed by hard evidence: billions of dollars have been funneled over decades into terrorist training camps and Islamic terror groups, including the Taliban, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, and ISIS Khorasan.

Now, the truth is coming to light, and Washington is in crisis mode.

$697 Million Per Year—Plus Billions More in Cash Shipments—Directly to Terrorists

In a bombshell congressional hearing, Republican Congressman Scott Perry accused USAID of funneling $697 million annually—along with weekly cash shipments of $40–$80 million—to Islamic terrorist groups.

“Who gets some of that money? Your money—$697 million annually—plus shipments of cash go to ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, and ISIS Khorasan. That’s what it’s funding,” Perry declared.

These revelations were confirmed by the Defense Oversight and Government Ethics (DOGE) investigation, which uncovered a stunning network of fraudulent programs used as cover to launder taxpayer dollars to terrorists.

The Afghanistan Scam: “Women’s Programs” That Fund the Taliban

Perry exposed the fraudulent USAID programs supposedly meant to help Afghan women:

  • Women’s Scholarship Endowment – $60 million per year
  • Young Women Lead – $5 million per year

These programs claim to empower women in Afghanistan, yet Perry pointed out the obvious absurdity:

“The Taliban bans women from speaking in public, yet somehow, the American people are supposed to believe that this money is being used for the betterment of women in Afghanistan? It is not. You are funding terrorism, and it’s coming through USAID.”

Even more disturbing, a new DOGE report reveals that some of this money is being redirected to Taliban-run “martyrs’ welfare” programs—providing stipends to families of Taliban fighters killed attacking U.S. troops.

CIA whistleblower Sarah Adams confirmed:

“We’re paying Taliban families whose members died fighting us. Meanwhile, our veterans’ families get squat.”

Pakistan’s : $8.84 Billion for “Ghost Schools”

The Pakistan education scandal is even bigger than originally reported. Since 2002, USAID has pumped $8.84 billion into education programs—with no proof that the schools even exist.

Among the most blatant frauds:

  • $136 million was allocated for 20 schools—not a single one has been found.
  • $20 million went to educational television for kids who can’t attend school—because the schools don’t exist.

“We even spent $20 million on educational TV—for kids who don’t have access to these nonexistent schools. It’s absurd!” Perry slammed.

Meanwhile, Haqqani Network leader Sarajuddin Haqqani and Abdullah Bin Laden (Osama Bin Laden’s son) have reportedly benefited from USAID-linked funds, further proving that taxpayer dollars are ending up in the hands of Al-Qaeda-affiliated groups.

February 17, 2025 – Congressman Tim Burchett: DOGE is going to find a “paper trail” of money that went overseas and ended up back into pockets of lawmakers

Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) said the Democrats are terrified of Elon Musk and DOGE because there is a “paper trail” of money that went overseas and right back into their pockets.

“You’re going to see a paper trail come back to Washington, DC. That’s why a lot of people are nervous. You’ll see a lot of retirements. They are stealing from the American taxpayer and now they’ve got their hand caught in the cookie jar, and all they can do is attack Elon Musk,” Burchett said on Fox News.

(…) It is all hands on deck to stop Elon Musk’s DOGE from accessing federal data so the Trump Administration can cut wasteful government spending.

When Elon Musk asked how Norm Eisen could be financed, I replied, “If the United States govt gave money to Qatar, knowing Qatar was going to send that money to organizations within the USA intended to carry out an objective of a small group in U.S. govt., what would that be called?”

Qatar is a major source of funding for the Brookings Institute.  Brookings funds various Lawfare operations, including Norm Eisen.  The extended process is quite simple. If elements within the U.S. Govt., wanted to indirectly fund Brookings, could they do it by sending funds to Qatar?

The question is not supposition, because this was the exact process Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta used for the State Dept to send weapons to the Libyan “rebels,” aka Operation Zero Footprint.

Operation Zero Footprint was the State Dept/CIA sending funds to Qatar, and the Qatari govt then purchasing missiles from the CIA to give to al-Qaeda affiliates in Libya.  We can consider the historic Iran-Contra scandal under a similar framework. However, the nuanced difference is about sending money toward a foreign govt (via USAID), while knowing the money would return to fund a domestic agenda inside the USA.

Example: USAID sends money to the U.K, and then British political allies send political operatives into the USA to support Kamala Harris.  We know the latter part of that sentence happened.  So, did the Biden administration (Samantha Power) fund the Labour Party operation?

Are the various political NGOs and activist groups in the USA actually funded, indirectly, by U.S. taxpayers?  Many signs point to, yes.

Against this high likelihood, it becomes just a natural extension of the process if U.S. politicians are beneficiaries of the circular laundry operation. That is what Representative Tim Burchett believes will surface if the DOGE team follow the money trail. (Conservative Treehouse, 2/17/2025)

On Friday: TROs/PI are extraordinary remedies, PI only after notice; TROs purpose to preserve status quo; same 4 part test applies to both. Emergency TRO so immenent. Plaintiff if deny & get PI, then allow discovery?

Plaintiffs: We are confident we have evidence necessary to get TRO. Judge: Lots of news reports out there. Court can’t act based of news reports–they can’t find basis for TRO. Plaintiffs: I can point to what has already happen. Absolutely narrowing request. Our concern is how they are using data–for purpose other than designed to be collected. Judge: Tie to complaint? Plaintiff: From statement Musk makes; X posts; DOGE website (workforce; regs; finance): Using data they have access to to decide how to make cuts. So, Educ. Dep’t: School notes shortage of educators, poor outcomes, plus money–rely for operational & technical support. What is threatened by DOGE? Plaintiffs: DOGE has affected funding cuts across Educ. including research program, such as Institute of Educational Science have in past studied programs used in New Mexico. Judge: If I don’t issue TRO & convert to PI: And you win? If it gets slashed can’t you get money. Cuts to nuclear hurts New Mexico. Plaintiff: We’re getting reports to DOGE direction called for cuts to CDC staff, including Indian Health Staff, just made public, new secretary is trying to rehire poeple…New Mexico has large tribe…Judge: It has to be extreme harm it has to be imminent, and tomorrow and it will definitely happen. Something that can’t be “undone”–difficult or challenging, it can be undone.

Judge: Generalized fear, even if likely, isn’t enough for TRO and I’m not seeing it so far. Plaintiffs Lawyer: If Defendants have evidence to refute this. . . (NOT Defendants’ job). Cites to Washington Post article of DOGE memos of plans to spending cut. On Wednesday will start with continue to staffing cuts–nothing described. Judge must have rolled eyes: “I understand your frustration.” Plaintiff references X posts of “Education’s next” so ask TRO based on identified targets with agencies with direct ties and direct harms.
Judge: References other cases, why can’t Plaintiffs get TRO in 2 days b/c it is happening tomorrow or today? This is a prophaletic TRO and that’s not allowed. Plaintiff: “Going back to Washington Post” and showing DOGE memo saying all agencies will be targeted, between DOGE memos, statements, and X posts, on Wednesday we will see more. This is Appointment Clause claim, is different then other TROS. Our request is drastically different b/c we aren’t seeking to enjoy Agencies: It is targeted to Musk & DOGE and that they aren’t using info in unconstitutional ways.
Judge: Look at relief? What is harm if they have access to the inform? How is that directed to harm?
Plaintiff: It is the use of the data. How they identify how to make cuts is through access to data.
Judge: But it is in DOGE’s remit (authority) to analyze data. Also, if it already happened, it’s not imminent.
Plaintiff: Yes, they were charged w/ rooting out waste. These are not advisors, based on statements, etc., it is clear that CMS, directions where to cut were from Musk & DOGE and only able to do through anaylsis of data. Giving “directives” is well beyond EO.
Judge: Again, you are for TRO: You also want to stop all personnel decisions, how does this cause harm.”
Plaintiff: Only place for safe disposal of nuclear waste; Energy issued notice to terminate personnel, that includes staff who oversee disposal.
Judge: Wouldn’t those employees have the claim.
Plaintiff: Our harm is state’s ability to carry out its function. Lose of administration personnel, no one to pick up phone, or write checks.
Judge: TRO actions OMP access, have different claims, privacy

Judge: Why wouldn’t those other cases provide relief that bar access to data. noted two other cases that cover access/firing. (Judges Cooper & Bates)
Plaintiff: Those were privacy act claims. We want to make sure Musk & DOGE aren’t using data inappropriately.
Judge: BUT the harm you are alleging is already being considered in other cases & still broad: 7 large agencies no data/no firing?
Plaintiff: Yes, because relief has not been issued yet. Difference between enjoining agency & enjoining Musk/DOGE. That is significant distinction.
Judge: What would imminent harm re DOT & Dep’t of Commerce, to Plaintiffs States.
Plaintiff: Inability to carry out programs & functions. (She isn’t answering).

Judge to Musk: reports of 1000 who received termination notices. Is it true?
Gov’t: I can’t confirm.
Judge: Wait! Not small thing, you haven’t looked at it?
Gov’t: I looked to what was relevant. I’ll look at it.
Judge: And are additional terminations planned in next 14 days. I can’t base on news reports. But you should be able to say we fired & we will fire x more.
Gov’t: Starting w/ State Declaration to justify imminent injury. Only 3 states discuss data access and concerns by residents. New Mexico: Says it has data at 3 agencies. Plaintiffs say that the concern is “not the access,” so the TRO shouldn’t address it. All discuss possible actions, that may affect downstream: That’s not imminent.
Judge: Reason that language is used is because DOGE actions have been unpredictable & scattershot. Will there been terminations/will there be?
Govt: There basic point is that Musk or DOGE is exercising sovereign power without authority–but all the actions complained about, there is a paper trail. What is clear is that you have a properly named officer exercising his authority. NO evidence of Musk or DOGE doing the terminating.
Judge: Musk hasn’t been appointed/confirmed–essentially a private citizen to fire/hire/contract/terminate, without congressional.
Govt: He is a Special Government Employee. There theory is that Musk exercises authoritative “influence.” THAT is not an appointment clause claim: They have not shown any formal or actual authority to make any decision himself.
Judge: I think you’re going too far.
Gov’t: Has state marshalled evidence of imminent harm.
Judge: Can gov’t agree to hold off on mass termination while PI is litigated? If not, what is harm?
Gov’t: I can’t make commitment. Agency heads have authority to manage work place.
Judge: Allegation is DOGE is directing termination. Accessing data/firing people/terminating contract, i.e., essentially running government.
Gov’t: Need evidence to back it up & it’d be easy to find: Someone is exercising power. And they can’t show that “someone” isn’t a person with power. Identify who fired. What authority. States haven’t done. Just saying puppetstrings:
Judge: Has a Court ever granted TRO re Appointment Clause?
Plaintiffs: I’d have to confirm. Judge: No, I haven’t found any. This is factually one of a kind situation. There may not be a TRO issued but we’ve never experienced this type of wielding of power. Our papers speak for themselves on points Gov’t made.

Plaintiff: Seeking to restrain DOGE & Musk & not agencies, if they don’t have authority then it won’t hurt agencies.
Judge: Thank you for coming in and making yourself available. I will rule motion for TRO & issue further scheduling. Hope to get out in 24 hours. If you have to come for PI briefing, what are you proposing: Plaintiff meet w/ Gov’t attorney & work out.

Judge Chutkan Denies Democrat AGs Request For Restraining Order Against Elon Musk and DOGE

February 17, 2025 – Over 25 million American Social Security recipients are aged 100 and older, some older than the U.S. Constitution itself

Elon Musk’s DOGE team has unearthed jaw-dropping irregularity from the U.S. Social Security database.

The numbers are truly mind-boggling: over 25 million Americans registered aged 100 and older, with some purportedly older than the U.S. Constitution itself.

Late Sunday night, Musk tweeted a staggering claim accompanied by a table of ages, suggesting that the Social Security Administration might be paying out benefits to “vampires.”

February 17, 2025 – DOGE: An identification code linking Treasury payments to a budget line item was optional; $4.7 Trillion in payments was left blank and untraceable

The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process).

In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going. Thanks to @USTreasury for the great work.

February 17, 2025 – Buttigieg suddenly interested in transportation issues, Sean Duffy responds

Mayor Pete failed for four years to address the air traffic controller shortage and upgrade our outdated, World War II-era air traffic control system. In less than four weeks, we have already begun the process and are engaging the smartest minds in the entire world.

Here’s the truth: the FAA alone has a staggering 45,000 employees. Less than 400 were let go, and they were all probationary, meaning they had been hired less than a year ago. Zero air traffic controllers and critical safety personnel were let go.

Mayor Pete chose to use this amazing department—that is so critical to America’s success—as a slush fund for the green new scam and environmental justice nonsense. Not to mention that over 90% of the workforce under his leadership were working from home – including him. The building was empty!

When we finally get a full accounting of his mismanagement, I look forward to hearing from him.

In the meantime, I will not rest until I return the Department of Transportation and its incredible employees to its mission of efficiency and safety.

February 18, 2025 – Prime Minister of Hungary releases statement about George Soros & USAID

“WARNING! Our fears have come true: the globalist-liberal-Soros NGO network is fleeing to Brussels, after President Trump dealt a huge blow to their activities in the US. Now 63 of them are asking Brussels for money, under the guise of various human rights projects. Not going to happen! We will not let them find safe haven in Europe! The USAID-files exposed the dark practices of the globalist network. We will not take the bait again!” —Viktor Orbán Prime Minister of Hungary

There are few forces more corrosive to civilization than @georgesoros and his insufferable heir, @AlexanderSoros. These two financial arsonists have spent decades pouring billions into the globalist machine, fueling lawlessness, eroding borders, and undermining national sovereignty at every turn. Now, with @elonmusk and President @realDonaldTrump slamming the door on their USAID funding pipeline, the Soros network is scrambling, desperately trying to relocate its chaos operations to Brussels. Viktor Orbán, who has been sounding the alarm for years, is making it clear that Hungary will not be the refuge for these parasites. The fact that 63 Soros-linked NGOs are now crawling to the European Union for their next round of destruction should terrify every sane person. The globalist game plan has never been about democracy or human rights, it has always been about control, destabilization, and the calculated collapse of Western societies.

The Cloward-Piven strategy, a blueprint for societal implosion, has been Soros’s weapon of choice. Overwhelm systems, whether through mass migration, economic collapse, or manufactured social unrest, until they break, and then install your own puppet solutions. From defunding the police to open border policies, Soros-backed initiatives are designed to swamp national institutions, leaving them paralyzed and ripe for takeover. This is not conspiracy, it is documented strategy. Hungary, under @PM_ViktorOrban, has refused to play along, and now Brussels is being pressured to bankroll the next phase of this globalist coup. But with Trump back in office and the Soros pipeline running dry, the game has changed. The USAID-files have laid bare the shadow network that has been manipulating policy behind the scenes, exposing their dark practices to the world. The Soros empire is not about philanthropy, it is about controlled demolition.

Europe now faces a critical choice, will @vonderleyen resist, or will the EU roll over and allow Soros’s tentacles to tighten further around its institutions? If Brussels funds these NGOs, it will confirm what many already suspect: that the EU is little more than a globalist vassal state. Orbán, to his credit, is standing firm, warning that these organizations will not find safe haven in Hungary. The European Commission, predictably, will cry about rule of law and democratic values, as if turning the continent into a Soros playground has anything to do with democracy. The fight against Soros is not just about Hungary or the United States, it is about the survival of Western civilization. Every nation that values its sovereignty must take the same stand, no more money, no more influence, no more manufactured crises. The world has seen the consequences of his meddling, and for once, the right people are shutting the door in his face.

February 18, 2025 – A top DOJ official who covered for Hunter Biden’s tax fraud case has been removed from his post

More good news from Trump’s DOJ.

Blomberg confirms that associate deputy AG Bradley Weinsheimer, considered Lisa Monaco’s right-hand man, has been removed from his post. A 30+-year veteran of the DOJ, Weinsheimer was given the option of moving to a new immigration enforcement office or resign/be fired.

Weinsheimer was involved in the Hunter Biden matter, running interference for the Bidens and going over the head of Special Counsel David Weiss.

According to a 2023 New York Post article, Weinsheimer was “a conduit for Hunter Biden’s legal team in the final stretch of the tax fraud investigation” proving that main Justice–or at least Monaco and Weinsheimer–were really in charge, not Weiss.

DOJ prosecutor, Leslie Wolf, is subpoenaed on November 21, 2023 to testify about her forewarning the Biden team of search warrants (Credit: FedBar)

After lawyers for IRS whistleblowers who later testified to the political nature of DOJ decision making in the Biden investigation, contacted Weinsheimer–the alleged “nonpartisan” DOJ official in charge of handling whistleblower complaints to ensure protection for those employees–Weinsheimer met with Weiss and Hunter Biden’s attorney.

One day later, according to lawyers for the IRS whistleblowers, “Weinsheimer scheduled a meeting with Mr. Biden’s defense counsel to appeal over the head of Mr. Weiss in a way that was totally at odds with the narrative that David Weiss was acting independently.

The Deputy Attorney General’s office then claimed to us it was genuinely interested in addressing the whistleblower’s allegations, without disclosing its meeting with Hunter Biden’s lawyers. We now know that shortly after that meeting Weiss’s assistant [Lesley Wolf] offered to end the case with no guilty plea at all on the very same day that DOJ removed our client and his entire IRS team from the case.”

Weinsheimer also wrote a five-page letter to Congress restricting the testimony of Wolf, another DOJ official protecting the Bidens. On at least 79 occasions, Wolf cited Weinsheimer’s letter as an excuse to refuse to answer Congress’ questions as to her role on the investigation.

Good riddance, Brad!

February 18, 2025 – Trump fires all ‘Biden-era’ US attorneys

“Over the past four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before. Therefore, I have instructed the termination of ALL remaining ‘Biden Era’ U.S. Attorneys,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We must ‘clean house’ IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence. America’s Golden Age must have a fair Justice System – THAT BEGINS TODAY!”

The decision is part of a broader effort by Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi to overhaul the DOJ, which they claim has been “weaponized” against American citizens and used to target political opponents. The administration insists that removing Biden-era appointees is a necessary step toward depoliticizing federal law enforcement.

It is common for U.S. attorneys to be replaced when a new administration takes office, especially when the party in power changes. However, Trump’s move is notable for its sweeping scope and immediate execution. (Read more: The Post Millennial, 2/18/2025)  (Archive)

February 19, 2025 – Trump orders agencies to stop taxpayers’ funding for illegal migrants, saving up to $450 billion

President Donald Trump signs an executive order. Jan. 20, 2025. (Credit: Evan Vucci/AP)

President Donald Trump has ordered his agencies to scrub their regulations and spending programs to ensure illegal migrants are not getting taxpayers’ funds via hidden channels.

Trump signed the Executive Order titled “Preserving Federal Benefits for American Citizens” late on Wednesday.

The policy could save tens of billions of dollars per year. But the full economic impact will not be known for many months because Trump’s deputies must find the aid programs, change policies to stop some funding. fend off lawsuits, and then gradually rewrite regulations to stop more funding.

Democrats will furiously protest Trump’s aid cutoff because the cash flows through their vast and vital farm teams of supporters at government agencies and non-profits.

Democrats also support the funding because it attracts migrants to the United States. The aid also deters them from going home by anchoring them to U.S. society via subsidized jobs, housing, schooling, government credentials, and political support.

But the aid cutoff will also help the Democrats’ media allies to attack Trump’s popular migration policies by spotlighting pitiable migrants — for example, mothers with children — on the evening TV news shows.

The illegal migrant population in the United States is at least 13.7 million, many of whom have crowded into Democratic-run states — California and Illinois, for example — that provide healthcare and other aid to illegal migrants.

A White House fact sheet said:

The surge in illegal immigration, enabled by the previous Administration, is siphoning dollars and essential services from American citizens while state and local budgets grow increasingly strained.

…

According to the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), providing welfare to one million illegal aliens could cost American taxpayers an additional $3 billion annually.

The U.S. House Homeland Security Committee estimated that taxpayers could pay as much as $451 billion to care for [roughly 9 million] illegal aliens and gotaways that have entered the United States unlawfully since January 2021.

February 19, 2025 – DOGE: Biden EPA funneled $2 billion taxpayer funds to an organization tied to Stacey Abrams—and then tried to cover it up

Doge just uncovered that Democrats funneled $2 billion in U.S. taxpayer funds to an organization tied to Stacey Abrams—and then tried to cover it up before Trump could find out.

The Biden administration’s EPA awarded the massive grant to Power Forward Communities in April 2024, an organization with direct links to Abrams.

Abrams was a fierce advocate for Biden’s green energy agenda and also actively campaigned for Kamala Harris.

DOGE discovered $2 billion in taxpayer funds set aside for a fledgling nonprofit linked to perennial Georgia Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams.

The Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration awarded Power Forward Communities the grant in April 2024 as part of the agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program. Power Forward Communities received the green energy grant despite the fact that it was founded months earlier in late 2023 and never managed anywhere near the grant’s dollar figure—it reported just $100 in total revenue during its first three months in operation, according to its latest tax filings.

Power Forward Communities’ grant was one of just eight Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund grants that the EPA doled out in April 2024 and that, altogether, totaled $20 billion. EPA administrator Lee Zeldin announced on Feb. 13 that his staff and Department of Government Efficiency officials discovered that the Biden administration parked that same $20 billion at an outside financial institution before leaving office, limiting the federal government’s oversight of the program.

The revelation that Power Forward Communities is among the beneficiaries of the funds Zeldin’s team located raises ethics questions about how the Biden administration selected recipients of such massive grants and whether it played favorites when doling those grants out. Abrams was a vocal proponent of the Biden administration’s green energy agenda and campaigned for former vice president Kamala Harris.

It also appears to validate concerns expressed for years by Republicans that Biden administration allies would prop up organizations that were specifically designed to receive federal funding under programs like the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which was created to operate as a “green bank” by Democrats’ behemoth Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

“I made a commitment to members of Congress and to the American people to be a good steward of tax dollars and I’ve wasted no time in keeping my word,” Zeldin told the Washington Free Beacon. “When we learned about the Biden Administration’s scheme to quickly park $20 billion outside the agency, we suspected that some organizations were created out of thin air just to take advantage of this.”

“As we continue to learn more about where some of this money went, it is even more apparent how far-reaching and widely accepted this waste and abuse has been,” the EPA administrator continued. “It’s extremely concerning that an organization that reported just $100 in revenue in 2023 was chosen to receive $2 billion. That’s 20 million times the organization’s reported revenue.”

Power Forward Communities and Abrams did not respond to requests for comment. (Read more: Free Beacon, 2/19/2025)  (Archive)

I am honored to be confirmed as the ninth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Thank you to President Trump and Attorney General Bondi for your unwavering confidence and support.

The FBI has a storied legacy—from the “G-Men” to safeguarding our nation in the wake of 9/11. The American people deserve an FBI that is transparent, accountable, and committed to justice. The politicalization of our justice system has eroded public trust—but that ends today.

My mission as Director is clear: let good cops be cops—and rebuild trust in the FBI.

Working alongside the dedicated men and women of the Bureau and our partners, we will rebuild an FBI the American people can be proud of.

And to those who seek to harm Americans—consider this your warning. We will hunt you down in every corner of this planet.

Mission First. America Always. Let’s get to work.

February 20, 2025 – DOGE battles to free ideologically captured scientific institutions; DEI grants on chopping block will save $ billions

(Credit: Legal Insurrection)

As the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health get the DOGE-treatment, scientists are filled with dread.

Before COVID, Americans generally trusted its scientists.

Post-COVID, Americans’ trust in science has declined significantly. In 2023, only 57% of American adults said science had a “mostly positive” effect on society, down 16 percentage points from pre-pandemic levels. The percentage of Americans with strong trust in scientists fell from 39% in 2020 to 23%.

Now two of the major institutions funding American science are receiving the DOGE- treatment, as the Department of Government Efficiency staff has begun looking at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health. There appears to be an effort to streamline and refocus these groups so they support actual science rather than narrative support.

NSF has already terminated 168 probationary employees, representing approximately 10% of its workforce.

The National Science Foundation fired 170 probationary employees and experts Tuesday as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to reduce the size of the federal workforce, the agency confirmed.

In a written statement, NSF spokesman Mike England pointed to President Donald Trump’s executive order last week that included plans to reduce the size of the federal workforce as part of the work of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

“To ensure compliance with this E.O. the National Science Foundation has released 168 employees from Federal service effective today,” England said Tuesday. “We thank these employees for their service to NSF and their contributions to advance the agency mission.”

And as those probationary employees were hired under the Biden administration, the move is likely to benefit real science.

NSF grants are also being targeted, especially if they contain the hallmarks of Diversity-Equity-Inclusion.

Many grants seem to be in jeopardy. Nature recently reported that roughly 10,000 existing grants were marked for potential cancellation given their inclusion of keywords like “women” and “people of color,” which are targeted in the Trump Administration rollback of DEI initiatives.

At the National Institutes of Health, the fun is just getting started. DOGE has proposed drastic cuts to NIH research funding, reducing “indirect costs” to 15% of previous levels.

One complaint is that grant recipients, such as our woke universities, receive this money supposedly to cover the practical costs related to the research (e.g., light and heat for the laboratory facility), but not the research itself—to 15%. However, these indirect costs are often nearly a substantial portion of the grant and can be used to support non-scientific endeavors that might otherwise be unsustainable.

For example. the ever-expanding administrative state associated with universities. “Indirect costs” cover:

  • General administration
  • Accounting and financial management
  • Human resources
  • Legal affairs
  • Grant administration

How many of these are DEI-activists supporting the progressive antics at their institutions? And how many thwart the hiring of scientists whose research may challenge the current orthodoxy related to climate, gender, and other critical fields?

Of course, scientists attending the current meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science are on edge as a result of the new scrutiny they are under from Elon Musk’s team of super-geniuses. (Read more: Legal Insurrection, 2/20/2025)  (Archive)

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

Leland Dudek (Credit: public domain)

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.

Michelle King (Credit: public domain)

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.”

Gina Clemons (Credit: public domain)

“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 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.

@Jim_Jordan first launched his inquiry into these leaks last year.

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 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 – 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.

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.

Here is a screengrab from the video and a list of identified US Senators.
They don’t want you to know about the meeting!

  • Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
  • Jacky Rosen (D-NV)
  • Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
  • “Danang Dick” (Richard Blumenthal) (D-CT)
  • Roger Wicker (R-MS)
  • Charles Grassley (R-IA)
  • Chris Murphy (D-CT)
  • Peter Welch (D-VT)
  • Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
  • Chris Van Hollen (D-MD)

This was a disgrace and undermined President Trump’s historic peace talks.

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.”

“We see you.”

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.

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 – 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 – Missouri AG writes to DOGE about a $5 billion green energy land grabbing scam

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 – 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

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

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 – 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
@DOGE. 😂

“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.”

Fortunately for @BarackObama, unlike @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk, fake news propaganda didn’t fabricate controversies and divide the nation over every decision he made.

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)

March 18, 2025 – Trump removes 11 U.S. Institute of Peace board members

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.

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.

Every link there is for members only except the leaders and meetings list. The meeting list is blank tho.

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.”

Here’s a lawsuit asking for recusal of an American Inns of Court member. Because of its secrecy and it’s acting more like a private social club.

“THE AMERICAN INNS OF COURT ARE UNLIKE TRADITIONAL BAR ASSOCIATIONS BUT ARE SOCIAL CLUBS THAT PROVIDE FOR SECRET EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN FINANCIALLY STRONG ATTORNEYS AND JUDGES

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.”

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)

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 – Trump orders the immediate declassification of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane files

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.

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 – 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

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.”
