Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was ripped on social media after she called President Trump “a rapist” online — with many suggesting a tweet from the Congresswoman was grounds for a defamation lawsuit from the commander in chief. Ocasio-Cortez sparked outrage when she tweeted Friday about Trump and the release of files related to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X, apparently referring to Trump and the 2023 civil trial where he was found liable of sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll....

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being accused of defaming President Donald Trump by calling him a "rapist" on social media amid controversy over the Department of Justice's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. The far-left Democrat, who has traded barbs with Trump repeatedly across both of their political careers, weighed in on the current controversy surrounding disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his New York City jail cell in 2019 after facing federal charges related to child sex trafficking.

(America First Report)—New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is facing accusations of defaming President Donald Trump. She called him a “rapist” on social media during a debate about how the Department of Justice handled the Jeffrey Epstein case. The progressive Democrat, who has often clashed with Trump during their time in politics, shared her thoughts on the ongoing issues around Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was a wealthy financier who died in his New York jail cell in 2019 while facing federal charges for child sex trafficking. “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the...

The Epstein cover-up is not about protecting powerful pedophiles. (Video)

As a former Israeli Prime Minister, with the Mossad having reported directly to me, I say to you with 100% certainty: The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false. Epstein’s conduct, both the criminal and the merely despicable, had nothing whatsoever to do with the Mossad or the State of Israel. Epstein never worked for the Mossad. This accusation is a lie being peddled by prominent online personalities such as Tucker Carlson pretending they know things they don’t. They just make things up, say it with confidence...

Sen. Ron Johnson is actively investigating 9/11. A day after the Wisconsin Republican went on a far-right podcast promoting conspiracy theories about the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people, a spokesperson for Johnson said the lawmaker is currently seeking information and documentation in order to hold hearings on the event nearly 25 years later. He would do so in his capacity as chair of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, one of Congress’s most storied and powerful panels with far-reaching jurisdiction that gives its chair wide latitude to probe a diverse array of matters. It has...

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) suggested Monday that the US government may have played a role in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks during an interview with MAGA influencer Benny Johnson on The Benny Show. The senator, who sits on the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, questioned the official explanation for the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 and echoed claims frequently raised by conspiracy theorists on the fringes of the internet. “Within these agencies, a lot of them are going to cover their tracks and cover things up and destroy a lot of evidence,” the senator said. “It’s gonna...

In early 2024, the International Center for 9/11 Justice (IC911) embarked on the first stage of an in-depth study into what took place in the skies on September 11, 2001. On September 8, 2024, IC911 and UK Column held an online symposium where we commemorated the 23rd anniversary of that day and shared IC911’s research to date. The symposium evaluated three key claims of the US government’s account: That the alleged 9/11 hijackers could so smoothly and successfully commandeer all four airliners; That the alleged hijacker pilots could successfully fly three of the aircraft into their intended targets; That US...

As the anniversary of 9/11 approaches, I find myself asking out loud a question I’ve whispered to myself often since the Twin Towers came down: Is the U.S. relationship with Israel worth it? This was a lot easier to answer during the Cold War, when the U.S. supported Israel in order to counterbalance Soviet influence in the region. But, that was a long time ago, and though the Russians are still active in the Middle East, it’s not on the same scale. Stable oil markets are also a longtime reason we have supported Israel, but that situation is changing too,...

A US bankruptcy court trustee is planning to shut down conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars media platform and liquidate its assets to help pay the $1.5 billion in lawsuit judgments Jones owes for repeatedly calling the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting a hoax. In an “emergency” motion filed Sunday in Houston, trustee Christopher Murray indicated publicly for the first time that he intends to “conduct an orderly wind-down” of the operations of Infowars’ parent company and “liquidate its inventory.” Murray, who was appointed by a federal judge to oversee the assets in Jones’ personal bankruptcy case, did not give...

... As of this publishing, the poll racked up nearly 3,000 votes, and clearly, a majority reckon the government had a significant hand in the 9/11 attacks. About 27 percent are convinced it was an “inside job,” while nearly 24 percent think the U.S. government knew about the upcoming attacks but chose to let them happen. Another 22 percent believe the attackers were intelligence assets gone rogue. That’s incredibly telling—and frankly, quite disturbing. It shows just how much trust in our government has plummeted, reaching depths many of us never imagined possible. There’s still time to vote, so it’ll be...

The New York Times's David Herszenhorn on Friday wrote up a bizarre new conference held by the parents of the Boston Marathon bombers in the Russian Republic of Dagestan, where they have lived for the past year: "Parents Deny Son's Guilt And Accuse U.S. of Plot." It's puzzling why Herszenhorn chose such a credulous tone to the conspiratorial rants of the bombers' mother Zubeidat Tsarnaeva (The Washington Post made do with a brief mention at the very end of a related story on Friday). The parents of the two brothers accused in the bomb attack that killed three people and...

Can a Civil Engineer weigh in on this?

What happened on Building Number 7?” He says we need to question everything we’ve been told, including about the assassinations of the Kennedys, MLK, and others.

Over the past 24 hours, thousands of TikToks (at least) have been posted where people share how they just read Bin Laden’s infamous "Letter to America," in which he explained why he attacked the United States. The TikToks are from people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Many of them say that reading the letter has opened their eyes, and they’ll never see geopolitical matters the same way again. Many of them — and I have watched a lot — say it has made them reevaluate their perspective on how what is often labeled as terrorism can be a...

Their loved ones were murdered on 9/11. Twenty years later, they are still fighting for the truth. Interwoven with their stories are the elucidating words of psychologist Robert Griffin, who guides the audience through an exploration of trauma and the healing power of bringing suppressed truths to light.Freedy: As a Chartered Professional Structural Engineer, this mass murder marked a turning point for me in so many ways. From that moment on I ceased to believe anything & everything that our government said & did. I also bitterly regret that my own professional institution remains silent to this day. Legacy media...

Former President Trump praised biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy after the Republican millennial defended him during the first debate. “This answer gave Vivek Ramaswamy a big WIN in the debate because of a thing called TRUTH. Thank you Vivek!” Trump posted early Thursday morning on his Truth Social platform of the 2024 GOP presidential candidate. Trump included a clip of Ramaswamy’s remarks, in which the 38-year-old Republican contender said during the first debate “President Trump, I believe, was the best president of the 21st Century.”

On August 17, Vivek Ramaswamy was interviewed by Tucker Carlson. At the very beginning, Ramaswamy spoke candidly about 9/11: “I didn’t suggest it. I explicitly said that the government absolutely lied to us. The 9/11 Commission lied. The FBI lied to us.”After dropping that bombshell, Ramaswamy went on to describe a scenario that he says “doesn’t make much sense on the face of it.” He explained how a 42-year-old Saudi Arabian graduate student went to Los Angeles International Airport and, while there, met up with two Saudi nationals who went on to hijack a plane on 9/11, which they then...
