Rep. Thomas Massie (RINO-KY )’s attempt to sabotage the Trump Administration over the J6 pipe bomb investigation completely blew up in his face when FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino responded. As TGP readers know, we’ve been told for years that an unidentified suspect, approximately 5’7, planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, the night before the Capitol riot. But the FBI still can’t find the person who planted the bombs. On Wednesday, Massie claimed he received a “troubling letter” which accused the FBI of retaliating against a whistleblower regarding the pipe bomb investigation. Specifically, the...

The rabbit hole that leads to answers about how the COVID-19 pandemic began just got a little deeper. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, has released documents revealing a troubling connection between the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and a University of North Carolina professor, Ralph Baric. This isn't the first time Baric's name has surfaced in connection with COVID origins. Nicholson Baker of New York Magazine wrote a story about work at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in 2021, where a U.S.-funded project created a coronavirus with...

@yashar BREAKING The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement admonishing the Trump administration’s immigration actions. The last time they issued such a statement was in 2013 in response to contraception mandates. The vote to approve the statement was very close to unanimous: 216 votes in favor, 5 votes against, and 3 abstentions

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy who is running for Congress in New York, earlier this year posted an offensive comment on social media about procuring “Jew blood” and male semen for an energy recipe. Schlossberg, the 32-year-old Kennedy scion, has deleted the Jan. 20 post, in which he appeared to mock his mother’s cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and the so-called Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. “I’ll have a MAHA energy ball,” wrote Schlossberg. He proposed a recipe that called for several ingredients, including “2 oz of Jew blood (ashkenazi not Sephardic).” “Baked at 300degrees until...

Today marks the tenth anniversary of a coordinated series of terrorist attacks committed by nine ISIS operatives who, beginning shortly after nine o’clock in the evening, took a total of 137 lives and wounded 416 people in Paris and the nearby suburb of Saint–Denis. The scheme was ambitious. One group of three gunmen, moving quickly through a neighborhood of restaurants and cafés, mowed down thirteen people on the streets of the tenth arrondissement and inside a Cambodian eatery called La Petit Cambodge, then took five lives on the rue de la Fontaine-au-Roi in the eleventh arrondissement before murdering twenty-one people...

🇺🇸RealRobert🇺🇸 @Real_RobN Here it is: Nearly half of all Islamic immigrants in the Minnesota found to have committed Ilhan Omar—immigration fraud, marriage fraud, tax fraud, loan fraud, bribery, forgery, perjury, bigamy and incest during a recent sweep by the Department of Homeland Security, US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) director Joseph B. Edlow: “Since September 19th, officers from our Fraud Detection and National Security Directorate, working in teams, have conducted over 1,000 site visits across the Minneapolis–St. Paul area as part of this operation. What they found should shock all of America.”

Ukraine is facing a worsening shortage of soldiers as record numbers of men flee to Europe, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko warned in an interview. “We have huge problems with soldiers — with human resources,” Klitschko told the Axel Springer Global Reporters Network, of which POLITICO is a part, acknowledging the toll that nearly four years of war has taken on Ukraine’s capacity to replenish its ranks. He said Russian troops are advancing relentlessly, describing their assaults as “like a computer game — they just keep coming, they don’t care about fallen soldiers.” Under current rules, Ukrainians can be mobilized from...

November Marks the Beginning anti Christian Jihad by the Ottomans: The Enduring Horror of Political Islam: A Legacy of Genocide and SilenceIt's often whispered in historical footnotes that Adolf Hitler drew grim inspiration from the world's indifference to mass atrocities committed under the banner of political Islam. "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" he reportedly mused, highlighting the chilling silence surrounding the Ottoman Empire's systematic extermination of its Christian minorities. This wasn't mere conquest or war—it was political Islam in action, weaponizing religious doctrines like jihad and dhimmi status to justify the erasure of entire...

SOCIALIST WAVE? NOT HAPPENING — YET.2025 Election Reality Check: The Left’s Cracks Are Showing, and America’s Still Fighting BackAs a conservative, I take no joy in watching the radical left's grip tighten on our cities and states—yet even the most disheartening Democratic wins should remind us that their internal fractures are America’s opportunity. What unfolds in the Democrat Party doesn't just echo in blue strongholds; it reverberates nationwide, dragging us all toward higher taxes, open borders, and woke extremism. Take New York City: Zohran Mamdani, that Islamo-Marxist firebrand with a history of bigoted rants and socialist fever dreams, slimed his...

The sabotage of K-12 education is easily implemented by rejecting methods that work, while simultaneously forcing phony substitutes into classrooms. QED: the experts embraced a far-left ideology that prefers control and leveling. Weirdly enough, our Education Establishment ends up promoting anti-education agenda. Here are the five most egregious examples of this totalitarian strategy in action. 1) Sight-Words Versus Phonics. All the main European languages are phonetic. You first learn the alphabet, then the sounds represented by the letters; and then the blends of those sounds. This approach has always worked. It's the method used in Hebrew, Arabic, Phoenician, Greek, and...

On Wednesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) said the Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats were a “catastrophic blunder” policy-wise. Host Wolf Blitzer said, “You’re a key member of the Armed Services Committee so I want to ask you about what’s going on with Venezuela right now. Venezuela says it’s launching a massive military mobilization in response to a very significant U.S. military buildup of warships and troops in the Caribbean. As I said, you’re on the Armed Services Committee. You’re also on the foreign relations committee. Just how much latitude does the U.S....

For more than half a century, Delaware stood as America’s corporate capital, renowned for its business-friendly laws, respected Chancery Court, and consistent legal rulings. But in recent years, leftist activist lawmakers and politicized judges have undermined that very foundation, sparking an exodus of major companies seeking stability and fairness to more welcoming states like Texas and Nevada. On Wednesday morning, Coinbase joined the growing exodus, announcing on its website and in a Wall Street Journal op-ed by Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal that it is moving its state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas. “For decades, Delaware was known for...

FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Tuesday that China would cease manufacturing fentanyl precursors, which are the chemicals used to create the opioid that has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans over the past decade. During a press conference, Patel told reporters that the Trump administration has “been fighting hard to seize and stop drug traffickers,” which means it “must attack fentanyl precursors, the ingredients necessary to make this lethal drug.” The director explained that addressing this issue was the impetus behind his visit to China. Eliminating these chemicals would “suffocate the drug trafficking organization’s ability to manufacture fentanyl in...

In the city of Al-Fashir, Sudan, innocent civilians have been killed in such numbers that blood is visible in satellite images. A video comes from a hospital: dozens upon dozens of civilian corpses, inside and out, and the few survivors who are gasping and have now been executed. Entire neighborhoods leveled, villages erased, and tens of thousands of people dead-by bullets or by hunger in the desert. The Islamist militias have turned civil war into a theater of extermination. In Al-Fashir, Christians have been “hunted down and executed,” explains the NGO International Christian Concern. “They came into our village shouting...

California just teamed up with Nigeria on a new climate partnership at #COP30 — focused on cleaner transportation, climate adaptation, and cutting pollution. Real action, global collaboration!

Wednesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) claimed President Donald Trump was “more corrupt and more criminal than any other president than we’ve had.” Host Pamela Brown said, “We spoke to Marlin Stutzman earlier, he’s a Republican, and he tried to make the case that President Trump is the most investigated person in the world, and he has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing here. What do you make of that?” Crockett said, “Listen, they will do and say anything to cover themselves.You know, I will admit that Donald Trump has been investigated more than the...

Less than a week after the election, Gov. Kathy Hochul appears to be slowly squashing one of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s big campaign promises: Fare-free buses in NYC. Hochul endorsed Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani shortly before he won the historic 2025 NYC mayoral election on Nov. 4. But during the SOMOS organization’s political conference in Puerto Rico over the weekend, Hochul seemed to put a pin into the balloon of Mamdani’s free bus concept, stating that it would jeopardize the funding of New York’s public transit system. “I cannot set forth a plan right now that takes money out of a system...

Socialist Democratic New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani named his administration’s two top advisers, as he gears up to lead the Big Apple in a decidedly left-wing direction that may cause some residents to bolt. Mamdani announced his current chief of staff, Elle Bisgaard-Church, a fellow Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member, will stay in the role when he becomes mayor. He also said that his incoming first deputy mayor will be Dean Fuleihan, who served in the same role during former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s second term. The mayor-elect introduced Bisgaard-Church, 34, and Fuleihan, 74, at a Monday press...

VIDEOEven retiring Congressman Jerry Nadler proclaimed that Deranged Nepo Baby Jack Kennedy Schlossberg is a useless fool who hasn't done anything with his life and is therefore completely unqualified to run his seat. Shmuck Son Jack took that as a green light to go ahead and run for Nadler's seat in Congress as he has just announced. It was pretty obvious that Nepo Baby Jack was planning on running for that seat because for the past few weeks he struggled (probably with the help of a PR agency) to present himself as normal. However, you don't have to go very...
