This video discusses the upcoming sentencing of Hannah C. Dugan, a former Wisconsin judge who was convicted for helping an illegal alien evade federal custody by allowing them to exit her courtroom through a back door (0:00-0:24). The video outlines the conflicting sentencing memorandums filed by the defense and the Department of Justice (DOJ). Defense Arguments for Leniency: Request for Time Served: Dugan's defense argues that she has already suffered significant consequences, including the loss of her judicial career and public humiliation (0:56-1:14, 5:58-6:10). Lack of Malice: The defense contends that her actions were an isolated, non-violent incident driven by...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has terminated several analysts responsible for drafting a notorious 2023 memo that smeared traditional Catholics as potential domestic extremists. Under Director Kash Patel, the agency took decisive action Friday, firing four intelligence analysts and one supervisory analyst tied to the document originating from the Richmond field office. This move marks a significant shift from the Biden-era FBI’s pattern of viewing faithful Christians with suspicion while downplaying real threats elsewhere. The memo, which relied on Southern Poverty Law Center data and other questionable sources, wrongly conflated devout Catholics adhering to historic Church teachings with violent radicals....

A recently disclosed email shows that top Garland associates raised the issue of declassification before the morning raid. Although the memo requested that lawyers check whether Trump had the authority to declassify documents, Garland personally approved the August 2022 raid, which included searching Melania Trump's underwear drawers. ======================================== Atop Biden Justice Department official and key ally of then-Attorney General Merrick Garland raised legal “concerns” about the FBI's raid on Mar-Lago, warning that then-former President Donald Trump may have actually declassified the records seized by agents, a newly-unearthed email obtained by Just the News shows. Patty Stemler, a decades-long DOJ veteran...

We’re past the furious early salvos of Trump vs. Higher Ed. Fifteen months into Trump 2.0, the early clashes have settled into a Cool War punctuated by more modest skirmishes between the administration and brand-name universities. As the research freezes have thawed and the settlements have slowed, higher ed’s stunned disorientation is subsiding (even as red-state legislation, ongoing federal investigations, student-lending reform, and the overhaul of accreditation mean that things are very far from settled). The pace and tenor of change is less intense now than a year ago. This means that campus leaders have less political cover (it’s tougher...

On April 2, 2026, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth issued a memo directing installation commanders to respect the Second Amendment rights of our service members on United States Military installations. Hegseth noted the Constitution is there to protect the rights of all Americans, including the rights of service members, which are protected by the Second Amendment. The current policies in place in the United States military made it virtually impossible for service members to be able to carry arms for their own protection unless they were military police or in some training exercises. Installation commanders have had the authority to...

The FBI under the direction of the Biden administration shocked the world when a leaked document showed the intelligence agency had branded Latin Mass Catholics as likely “violent extremists.” Now another equally shocking CIA internal memo has been unearthed by the Trump administration which shows that under Biden, the CIA had warned that “traditional motherhood” and “homemaking” are signs of white extremism. America First Legal (AFL), which published on X a lengthy thread concerning the disturbing CIA memo, said, “The intelligence assessment reveals the top-to-bottom bias at Biden’s CIA.” “An agency with critical intelligence responsibilities was spending its resources targeting...

The Kremlin has set out proposals that could see Russia embrace the dollar again as part of a wide-ranging economic partnership with the Trump administration, according to an internal Russian document reviewed by Bloomberg.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has been mobbed by a wave of criticism after his private memo to company employees about the civil unrest in Minnesota was leaked online. While addressing the killing of ICU nurse and ICE protester Alex Pretti, Cook reportedly said: 'This is a time for de-escalation,' and added that he had a 'good conversation' with President Donald Trump regarding the situation in Minneapolis.

Federal immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to forcibly enter people’s homes without a judge’s warrant, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press, marking a sharp reversal of longstanding guidance meant to respect constitutional limits on government searches. The memo authorizes ICE officers to use force to enter a residence based solely on a more narrow administrative warrant to arrest someone with a final order of removal, a move that advocates say collides with Fourth Amendment protections and upends years of advice given to immigrant communities. The memo, signed by the acting director...

The Hochul administration is being accused of covering up crimes in prisons by downgrading attacks committed by inmates against guards as “harassment” or “disruptive behavior” instead of assaults. A bombshell Dec. 31, 2025 memo issued by the state Corrections Department’s deputy commissioner Michael D’Amore lays out examples of what constitutes an assault and what’s considered the lower classification of harassment or disruptive behavior. “The Department has redefined the Unusual Incident (UI) category, and created harassment as a reportable UI,” D’Amore said in the memo sent to all prison superintendents and watch commanders. For example, an inmate who rips off the...

A growing group of former CBS News journalists is preparing to confront the network’s new owner David Ellison, chief of Paramount Skydance, demanding “editorial independence” after a 60 Minutes investigation into deported migrants was abruptly pulled from air. In a petition addressed to Ellison and published by the New York Post, signatories warn that CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss’s decision to spike the report represents a dangerous political intervention in journalism. The letter is being circulated among current and former staff and is expected to be sent in early January. The 60 Minutes segment, examining the treatment of migrants sent...

There's a new serif in town! The Calibri font is going the way of the typewriter at the State Department after Secretary of State Marco Rubio inked a memo mandating that the agency use only Times New Roman for official communications – and size 14 to boot, according to a department official. The new directive, which was sent to all diplomats, is the latest action by the Trump administration to roll back diversity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The change is effective immediately, according to the directive. Two years ago, Rubio’s predecessor, Antony Blinken, switched the State Department font to Calibri,...

The Brownstone Institute ^ | November 29, 2025
Over the last November weekend of 2025, a memo circulated throughout the Federal Food and Drug Administration that might well trigger the entire unraveling of the US vaccine program with a focus on the mandated Covid shot in particular. The author is Dr. Vinay Prasad, who was a moderate critic during the Covid but has become ferocious since his appointment as the head of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research of the FDA. Of this memo, ACIP member and scientist Robert Malone has written: “I am stunned, gobsmacked by his letter below. The significance and importance of this letter...

The tech billionaire and philanthropist has hit a nerve by calling for a “strategic pivot” in climate strategy, says this academic.Shortly before COP30 talks begin in Brazil, tech billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates has launched a “narrative grenade” into the discourse of climate politics by publishing a lengthy memo calling for a rethink of how the climate crisis is framed and addressed. Gates calls for a “strategic pivot” in climate strategy. That appears to have hit a nerve. Both social and traditional media were ablaze with erroneous assertions about Gates’ supposed reversal of opinion on climate change. Despite reaffirming support...
