Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey is under federal investigation for an Instagram post that some interpret as a call to assassinate President Donald Trump. On Thursday, the deep state operative posted a cryptic Instagram photo of seashells arranged to spell out “86 47,” with a caption that read, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.” But patriots and truth-seekers on social media weren’t fooled, quickly decoding the sinister message: “86” — a known slang term for “to kill” or “get rid of” — paired with “47,” a clear reference to Trump, the 47th President of the United States. Comey...

The magazine said that it decided that “there is a clear public interest in disclosing” the information. The Atlantic on Wednesday released the screenshots of messages sent between top Trump administration officials through the encrypted app Signal detailing the timing and weapons used in airstrikes against the Iran-backed Houthi militant group in Yemen, arguing that spin from the White House warranted as full a release as possible. In a piece published Wednesday, the magazine said that it decided that “there is a clear public interest in disclosing the sort of information that Trump advisers included in nonsecure communications channels,...

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe both said in sworn testimony to the Senate on Tuesday that there was no classified information or material shared on the group chat created by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to coordinate on military strikes against the Houthis.Gabbard testified, “There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal chat,” while Ratcliffe said, “My communications, to be clear, in the signal message group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information.”The sworn statements undercut what Democrats and Trump critics are trying to claim...

Left-wing watchdog group American Oversight filed a lawsuit against John Ratcliffe, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and others, claiming their use of the double encrypted app Signal violates the Presidential Records Act. American Oversight boasts about its ‘activist litigation’ targeting Republican interests, especially the Trump Administration. Now they’re suing Trump officials for using Signal to communicate about ‘military actions.’ It was reported on Monday that Jeffrey Goldberg, the anti-Trump editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, claimed he was accidentally added to a secure Signal group chat where top Trump administration officials discussed sensitive military operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

The left-wing media went into overdrive on Monday following a report by Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic that he was mistakenly included in a chat on Signal with senior Trump administration officials. Goldberg claims that the top national security officials were coordinating a military strike through the group chat. CNN’s Scott Jennings destroyed the narrative from Goldberg’s article and the subsequent claims from the left-wing media. The magazine’s hit piece, published Monday, alleged that senior officials — including National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Secretary...

Allegedly, a chat among high-level Trump administration officials, including the Vice President, somehow included a reporter for the Atlantic. It looks like a mistake so bad that it would embarrass Biden, but one person has an interesting theory, which is that the reporter was included deliberately to get a message to Europe.Jeffrey Goldberg, a hard-left, anti-Trump reporter, had the headline and, for those who prefer their administration to be competent, it was stomach-churning: “The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans.”According to Goldberg, he learned about the March 15 attack on the Houthis two hours before it actually happened,...

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.The world found out shortly before 2 p.m. eastern time on March 15 that the United States was bombing Houthi targets across Yemen. I, however, knew two hours before the first bombs exploded that the attack might be coming. The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing. This is...
