The American public is still learning more about the Biden regime’s sinister nature and how it felt about its political opponents. On Friday, DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents that revealed that Americans who opposed the draconian and cruel COVID mandates were declared “Domestic Violent Extremists.” Michael Shellenberger’s Public and Catherine Herridge Reports first obtained the newly declassified records. Former FBI agent Steve Friend explained to Public that the designation created an “articulable purpose” for FBI or other government agents to open an “assessment” of individuals, which is often the first step toward a formal investigation. In other words, COVID...

For more than a decade, the United States has nurtured a secret intelligence partnership with Ukraine that is now critical for both countries in countering Russia... Nestled in a dense forest, the Ukrainian military base appears abandoned and destroyed, its command center a burned-out husk, a casualty of a Russian missile barrage early in the war. But that is above ground. Not far away, a discreet passageway descends to a subterranean bunker where teams of Ukrainian soldiers track Russian spy satellites and eavesdrop on conversations between Russian commanders. On one screen, a red line followed the route of an explosive...

Former CIA Director John Brennan said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that former FBI Director James Comey was not advocating violence with his social media post about President Donald Trump that featured a photo of seashells arranged to read, “86 47.” Brennan said, “It’s unsurprising that someone like Tulsi Gabbard would say something like that, but there’s absolutely no basis or reason for a director of National Intelligence to comment at all on this matter, much less say that a former director of the FBI should be in prison. I know Jim Comey worked very closely with him, didn’t always agree...

@WallStreetApes WOAH 🚨 Former Director of the CIA John Brennan “issued the Visas to 15 of the 19 September 11 hijackers” AGAIN: 15 out of the 19 Visas issued to the 9/11 hijackers were issued by the man who would become Director of the CIA - John Brennan was the CIA daily intelligence briefer for President Bill Clinton - In 1996, he was CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - John Brennan issued passports (visas -ed) to 9/11 hijackers - John Brennan becomes Director of the CIA What are the odds???

Everything is disconnected until somebody connects it. On February 9, 2018, the DOJ released a batch of captured text messages between Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chairman Mark Warner and the lawyer for Christopher Steele, Adam Waldman. At the time the texts were released the media narrative surrounded the top-line story that Senator Warner was having back channel discussions to communicate with the author of the now famous Trump dossier, Chris Steele. However, no-one seemed to wonder why these messages were captured, and even more curiously why they were released. Immediately following the release, SSCI member Marco Rubio, the current acting chairman...

By Wayne Allyn Root In just the past few hours, we have uncovered perhaps the biggest scandal of the Biden presidency. It turns out Joe Biden never signed anything- no laws, no Executive Orders, no legal documents, nothing. They were all signed by autopen. There were no original signatures. Which makes them all illegal. That makes everything that happened and passed during the past four years null and void. But that brings up the question of the century: If Biden never signed anything, who did? Who was calling the shots? Who was running the country? I know the answer… All...

On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, former CIA Director and current MSNBC analyst John Brennan claimed it was "absurd" to suggest that President Trump fired C.Q. Brown, who Biden had appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, because he had a woke agenda.Absurd? Really? Brown posted a video: "I'll lead conversations on racism, diversity, and inclusion." Signed Memo ordering quotas reducing the percentage of whites in the Air Force. Said, "I hire for diversity." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

…When Brennan suggested that free speech had been "weaponized" by Nazi Germany "to conduct a genocide," Rubio quickly pushed back, calling it a misrepresentation of history and countering that the Holocaust was the work of an authoritarian regime that hated Jews and other minorities. "There was no free speech in Nazi Germany," Rubio said. … The fiery moment became a rallying cry on conservative media, with outlets praising Rubio and Vance for "calling out" Brennan. It played directly into an ongoing narrative on the right — that mainstream journalists like Brennan aren't just biased but are actively pushing an agenda....

The panic that gripped Europe’s political elites after J.D. Vance delivered some overdue home truths in Munich found expression back home in the most embarrassing question ever asked by a network anchor. Our vice president had accused smug Eurocrats at the Munich Security Conference of abandoning free speech and allowing unchecked migration to roil their countries, warned them to respect their voters and told them America should not bear the primary burden of funding Europe’s security. “If you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you. Nor, for that matter, is there anything...

The more we learn about John Brennan and the other swamp creatures, aka the 50 intelligence agents who signed off on the Hunter Biden laptop letter, the more we understand why and support Trump removing their security clearance. For years, we felt as if we were the crazies talking about the deep state and how they were working to control our elections but now that everything is out in the open, we're finding that perhaps we weren't so crazy after all. Especially when you see leaked emails like this one where Brennan admits everything they were doing was to help...

For several years now, anti-Trump partisan operatives inside the Department of Justice, including FBI and CIA, have been given a pass for their deceitful and criminal actions. Of course, this group includes leaders from the intel agencies and their loyal underlings. They have worked for years in their quest to destroy President Trump and destroy his populist movement. They were shocked when President Trump won in 2016 so they rigged the 2020 election to make sure it did not happen again. Then, in 2024, they once again underestimated Donald Trump’s popularity and were completely rattled when Trump overcame the vast...

President Donald Trump isn’t wasting any time in his second term. On Friday, Trump banned former CIA Director John Brennan, former National Security Advisor John Bolton, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper from all U.S. secure federal buildings. These are the same men who pushed the infamous Hunter Biden “Russian disinformation” hoax in 2020, misleading the American public just weeks before the presidential election. The January 29 cabinet memorandum broadened Trump’s initial executive order from his first day in office, which withdrew security clearances for 50 individuals.

John Brennan sounds hysterical because he realizes nobody trusts him or takes him seriously. He knows he has lost the ability to persuade persuadable senators to vote against Tulsi Gabbard. ... John Brennan, still salty from having his security clearance revoked by Trump for lying to the American people about the Hunter laptop to help Biden win election — — rails against Tulsi Gabbard because she could “skew” information and only "give to President Trump what he wants to hear." Projection meters just melted. "That is so, so dangerous. And none of the six presidents I work for every one...

Smoking a joint can get you disqualified for a security clearance but vote for a Communist and you too could become the Director of the CIA. John Brennan voted for Communist Gus Hall in 1976 and was himself a Communist sympathizer. This is the adoring portrait from The Intelligencer in 2016: In 1976, future CIA director John Brennan was a college student disgusted by Watergate and the “system” that produced it. As the young Brennan surveyed the political landscape, only one candidate seemed to be speaking the truth about the need for real change (and/or the dictatorship of the proletariat)...

Vice President JD Vance “utterly embarrassed” CBS News’s Margaret Brennan during an interview where she attempted to press him on immigration, national security, and economic issues, Republican lawmakers and strategists said after the discussion went viral. In an episode of Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan that aired Sunday, Vance expertly fired back at her claims that all the people who came into the U.S. as “refugees” under former President Joe Biden were properly “vetted”:

President Trump used his authority to strip the security clearances of those who can't be trusted from the 51 former US intelligence officials who signed a letter warning that Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian disinformation campaign. The 51 said "our national security experience made us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case." As a matter of fact, there was no evidence that Russia was in any way connected with Hunter's laptop. The FBI had already verified it was really Hunter's laptop in 2019, although this information was not publicly revealed until after Joe...

Former CIA chief John Brennan was not happy about President Donald Trump’s decision to cancel his security clearance, claiming the only reason he maintained a clearance was to provide advice to the president. Brennan, who unrepentantly signed a letter falsely claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation, was Barack Obama’s director of the CIA and played a massive role in the Russia hoax, along with reportedly dismissing intelligence that Russia wanted Hillary Clinton to win the U.S. presidential election in 2016. During a recent interview on MSNBC, Brennan criticized Trump for preventing him from giving the president advice on national...

Among those who signed the letter — and are named in Mr. Trump's order — are former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA and NSA Director Michael Hayden and former CIA Director John Brennan. Two of the 51 signatories have since died.

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House intelligence committee, has released all but one of the transcribed interviews his committee conducted privately as part of their impeachment process. At the impeachment trial on Wednesday, Republicans asked why Schiff is still withholding the transcript of Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, who testified about the whistleblower and his complaint in closed, executive session on Oct. 4. Schiff has released the other 17 witness transcripts. But not Atkinson's. Why? Schiff explained to the Senate: The intelligence committee is continuing its ongoing oversight to determine why and how this...

In March 2024, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued its most recent “Annual Threat Assessment,” focusing primarily on foreign threats. Last month, the Department of Homeland security issued its “2025 Homeland Threat Assessment” concluding that the threat of Domestic and Foreign Terrorism in the Homeland Remains High. The first threat identified by DHS was “potential violent extremist responses to domestic sociopolitical developments — particularly the 2024 election cycle….” Remember, that assessment gives the view of DHS Secretary Mayorkas who has kept our border flung open to all comers for four years. While useful collections of information, these...
