It wasn’t a glitch. When I called for CIA indictments, I was blocked, erased, and silenced — until help from RFK Jr. got me back online. Some say the Central Intelligence Agency is the world’s leading cause of “coincidences.” This might be another one. Just as the government released thousands of JFK assassination files, I — a former CIA officer turned whistleblower — was suddenly blocked from posting reform proposals on social media. I post regularly on X, sharing updates on CIA activity and government corruption. My account has 125,000 followers and delivers unfiltered information without paid promotion. After 17...

Detained Columbia University protester Mahmoud Khalil will stay locked up in a Louisiana ICE facility for now — as a New Jersey judge refused to consider freeing him on bail during a hearing Friday. Newark federal court Judge Michael Farbiarz declined to hear arguments on whether to free the 30-year-old green card holder — who has become the face of President Trump’s crackdown on students protesting the Israel-Hamas war — during the hour-long hearing, which was attended by his pregnant wife. Instead, the judge said he’d rule first on the feds’ bid to move Khalil’s legal case challenging his deportation...

If you think the CIA keeping JFK files classified is just about history, think again. The real story isn’t what happened in 1963 — it’s what’s happening now. Ben Shapiro recently asked, “Does it really matter who shot John F. Kennedy?” My answer is “yes and no.” If the question concerns whether finding out who shot Kennedy is the most pressing issue facing our country, I concur with Shapiro that the answer is clearly “no.” But the release of 80,000 previously unseen documents isn’t just about who killed JFK. It’s about a long-standing pattern of deception, manipulation, and lawlessness from...

A third dog owned by Joe Biden attacked U.S. Secret Service agents when he was vice president during the Obama administration, Judicial Watch announced Thursday. Champ, also a German shepherd, bit agents, tore clothing, and was aggressive toward Biden's security detail multiple times at the vice president's residence, according to the conservative watchdog, citing documents it sued for under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Two German shepherds owned by Biden while president, Major and Commander, were responsible for attacks on two dozen Secret Service agents and White House personnel. Champ died in 2021. In May 2011, an Emergency...

A man allegedly trying to break into a car at about 1:00 a.m. on March 25 was shot and wounded by a concealed carrier. The concealed carrier shot the 21-year-old alleged burglar “once in each leg,” WBBM noted. CWBChicago reported the alleged burglar called 911 after the incident and tried feign that he had been shot in a drive-by. However, his pretend narrative was busted when the concealed carrier called 911 to describe what happened. The suspect was transported to a hospital for treatment and placed in custody. Breitbart News pointed out that an armed garbage truck driver killed one...

Officials in New York — namely, Rochester’s Democrat Mayor Malik Evans — criticized local police for assisting federal agents with deportations, asserting that it is against their policy. The incident occurred Monday, when Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) requested backup from the Rochester Police Department (RPD) during a traffic stop. The local police arrived at the scene and reportedly assisted in ordering the suspects out of the vehicle, also helping put them in handcuffs. This, Evans complained, goes against the sanctuary policies of the city.

Musk says same extreme rhetoric from the left 'almost got President Trump killed' Tesla CEO Elon Musk is speaking out about what he sees as a growing wave of violence against Tesla owners, blaming left-wing rhetoric for inciting the attacks. In an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on "Special Report" Thursday, Musk argued that the real issue isn’t just the individuals committing these acts but the people spreading anti-Tesla narratives. "The real problem is not the people. It's not like the crazy guy that firebombs a Tesla dealership," Musk said. "It's the people pushing the propaganda that cause that...

Americans are less likely to see Canada and the U.S. as close allies than they were two years ago, the latest indication that President Donald Trump's tariff threats and talk of taking over a neighboring ally are souring a critical economic and military relationship. The U.S. shift in viewpoint comes primarily from Democrats, though Republicans are less likely to see Canada as America’s ally now too, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. While about 7 in 10 Democrats saw Canada and the U.S. as close allies before Trump returned to office, now...

‘If a commercial company operated the way the federal government does, then it would immediately go bankrupt … the officers would be arrested.’ n Thursday evening, Elon Musk and some of his Department of Government Efficiency team sat for an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on “Special Report.” The nerd dream team includes a former rocket scientist, a Houstonian who ran five successful businesses, and the billionaire co-founder of Airbnb. Musk said he thinks the team can cut the federal deficit by $1 trillion within 130 days. He and the other DOGE engineers gave some eye-popping examples of how...

Retired New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano told Newsmax on Friday that British foreign intelligence agency MI6 might have been involved in the Signal imbroglio that has vexed the Trump administration. "This has really produced an uproar in the intelligence community," Napolitano said on "National Report." "The Guardian of London says — are you ready for this? — it was MI-6. It was the British intelligence that doesn't like Donald Trump that wanted to embarrass him. "All of this is a reason why, in my view, it was wrong for Attorney General [Pam] Bondi to say there's not going...

Cybertrucks set on fire. Bomb threats at Tesla showrooms. Vandalism at charging stations. A wave of violent protests targeting Tesla facilities has erupted across the country in recent weeks over Elon Musk’s controversial role within the Trump Administration, with demonstrators looking to bankrupt the company and ultimately force Musk out of his government position. On Saturday, March 29, the anti-Musk movement is preparing for what could be its largest mobilization yet. The decentralized group Tesla Takedown has called for peaceful protests targeting more than 500 locations worldwide in what organizers describe as a stand against its billionaire CEO’s involvement with...

A killer babysitter wrote 'everybody who played me is cursed' in blood on the wall after killing a toddler, cops say, as harrowing 911 audio emerged. Marketta Phillips, 41, was arrested on Wednesday for the death of Journei Ross, three, who died from multiple stab wounds in Las Vegas, Nevada. Jeremy Ross, Journei's father, came around from work around 3:30am to find his roommate and on-again-off-again girlfriend sitting on the kitchen floor surrounded by knives and covered in blood, according to 8 News Now. When he walked into the bedroom, he found his daughter unresponsive and began chest compressions. Written...

WASHINGTON — President Trump spoke Friday with Canada’s new prime minister as the US prepares to slap 25% tariffs on all Canadian imports — and referred to Mark Carney by his title, dropping the “governor” moniker he applied to predecessor Justin Trudeau. “I just finished speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney, of Canada,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It was an extremely productive call, we agree on many things, and will be meeting immediately after Canada’s upcoming Election to work on elements of Politics, Business, and all other factors, that will end up being great for both the United States...

On her show Thursday, SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly called Republican Texas Rep. Brandon Gill a “stone-cold assassin” after he pressed NPR CEO Katherine Maher over her political bias. Maher testified before the House Oversight Subcommittee on Wednesday regarding NPR’s government funding as lawmakers work with the Department of Government Efficiency to cut wasteful spending. On “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Kelly said she believed Maher would lose taxpayer funding. She highlighted Gill as her new “favorite” congressman.

The controversy surrounding Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and his tattoo choices intensified earlier this week after he unveiled a brand-new "Kill All Commies" tattoo on his forehead. Sources said Hegseth first displayed the tattoo by removing a MAGA hat during a press briefing, revealing the words "Kill All Commies" prominently inked across his brow. "Should Americans be worried about the message your new tattoo sends?" a reporter asked Hegseth. "On the surface, it would appear that you're in favor of killing all communists. Is that the case, Mr. Secretary?" The Defense Secretary brushed off the question as yet another...

DOGE chief Elon Musk appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report” on Thursday. During a wide-ranging interview, Musk discussed the Russia-Ukraine conflict and how it would ultimately be resolved. Musk criticized those championing the continuation of the conflict, who were doing so as a so-called “virtue signal.” “Obviously, there are some Republicans who think supporting Ukraine is the right thing, still,” FNC host Bret Baier said. “But there is a battle back and forth about how. How do you think it comes to an end?” Musk replied, “Well, I think there will be a negotiated peace. And the thing that...

Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo · Follow Rep. Brandon Gill brings up all of Katherine Maher's old tweets claiming that "America is addicted to white supremacy" and supporting looting, reparations, and BLM. This woman is the blonde version of Robin DiAngelo.Maybe it would be easier to list the seven Tweets she still stands by.If you were really making an effort plausibly to pass yourself off as a "public broadcaster" representing the full range of the American people, you would never hire Katherine Maher or anyone like her.

A federal negligence lawsuit can proceed against West Linn police alleging that officers should have entered the home of a man reported to be hallucinating on mushrooms and harming himself, a judge ruled.But U.S. District Judge Michael H. Simon threw out allegations that officers discriminated against Michael A. Relloque IV because of his race or intentionally caused him distress in their handling of the November 2020 call. His lawyer alleged that West Linn police were reluctant to confront Relloque because of the national turmoil and mass racial justice protests that occurred that fall over the police killings of George Floyd...

Gov. Josh Shapiro joined an iftar dinner at the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society in North Philly to announce a historic grant from the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, the largest ever awarded to a Muslim organization. Shapiro told the assembled group of a few dozen community members Tuesday night that institutions such as Al-Aqsa “are more important than ever before” in the current climate “as we’re facing tumult overseas, and we’re facing a lot of rising hate here at home.”

Leftist groups that are suing to block President Donald Trump from fulfilling his promises to the American people can’t take the idea that the administration refuses to roll over and play dead. Twenty-two leftist pressure groups—sorry, “civil rights organizations”—released a statement warning that Trump’s “dangerous assault on the legal profession and the rule of law” represents a threat to “the viability of our democracy.” That’s rich. It’s particularly rich coming from the side that got lawyers disbarred and prosecuted for merely representing their clients in challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election. (Oh, did you think we’d just forget...
