We are finally getting a clearer picture of what happened during COVID. Not because the people who locked us up, masked our faces and forced unproven chemicals into our bodies have suddenly become transparent, but because Anthony Fauci’s COVID-era diary is coming into public view. This long document makes one thing painfully clear: the people who forced us to surrender our lives to their expertise did not have the expertise they claimed. At best, they were guessing. And when their guesses failed, they did not retreat. They didn’t come clean. They doubled down. Arrogance unbridled.. Our health, our freedoms, our...

Arizona's largest county suffered a significant breach of its election data in the days before the 2020 presidential election when a self-described hacker foiled security and obtained 633,000 voter registration files but the Biden Justice Department and local prosecutors declined to bring charges even after the FBI got the suspect to confess, according to declassified documents made public Thursday by the White House. The scraping of Maricopa County's voter registration files was the most flagged security incident in a cyberintrusion log kept by U.S. spy agencies in the days around the Nov. 3, 2020 election, and it caused an extensive...

Footage circulating purporting to be from the North African desert shows what looks like an enormous column of sub-Saharan African men moving under escort. Some estimates put the number at a hundred thousand. Commentators claim Algerian military vehicles and personnel are shepherding them toward the coast. If the scale and direction prove accurate, Europe faces another deliberate pressure wave on top of the chaos already unfolding in Ceuta. Wait until they see what is comingI said early on Algeria with their best chums Iran and Russia would weaponise invasionHere are thousands of Sub Saharans beinv escorted across the desert by...

Despite “his own visceral contempt for their adherents,” the future supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, found utility in integrating “the influence of the leftist ideologies that had made such a mark on the Middle East over previous decades” into his revolutionary pitch. That is how Jason Burke, author of the new book The Revolutionists, describes the genesis of what would become the Iranian “red-green alliance” in his epic retelling of how the Marxist militants of the 1970s evolved from Cuban-style communists into socialist pan-Arabists and, eventually, Islamists. Subtly, Khomeini and his deputies integrated the...

Vice President JD Vance floated on Wednesday the possibility that in three years’ time, firebrand Michigan Democratic nominee Abdul el Sayed could be sitting in the White House as commander in chief. Vance raised the prospect of an el Sayed administration during an anti-fraud event at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, arguing that Congress needs to codify stricter guidelines to prevent future scams in taxpayer-funded federal programs. “This effort will fundamentally always have a limitation unless our colleagues in the House and the Senate are working with us,” he said. “We don’t want the next administration, whoever you know, God...

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed had been the newly picked Democrat party nominee for U.S. Senate from Michigan for only hours when startling charges about improper connections and cash arose. El-Sayed’s campaign had taken in more than $115,000 from people “who work for or have held leadership roles with the Council on American-Islamic Relations,” according to a Fox News report. The problem with that? CAIR has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such in Florida and Texas. CAIR, the politically active organization promotion Islam throughout America, in fact, was named as an...

As part of its Russia collusion hoax lawfare attacks on President Donald Trump, the FBI opened a “subcomponent investigation” of Crossfire Hurricane, treating Trump as a criminal subject based on already-debunked information linking him to Russia, according to a Trump administration official. The sub-investigation, known as “Oxferd Comma” was predicated on the idea that Trump, “the newly elected president, was acting as a Russian asset when he fired James Comey on May 9, 2017,” the administration official said. The case was marked as a “‘sensitive investigative matter,’ which was generally to keep it off the books from other agents to...

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani /Image: Video screenshot @NYCMayor/X ========================================================================== Radical socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has purged a longstanding advisory board of business and civic leaders. The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City is a city-affiliated 501(c)(3) nonprofit that raises private donations to support public programs and City Hall priorities by partnering with agencies, philanthropies, and community groups. According to Bloomberg News, Mamdani sent letters thanking the advisory board members for their service. A separate communication from the fund stated that the entire board of advisers would be disbanded. The New York Post reports: It’s raised hundreds...

As concerns over law enforcement’s use of Flock Safety cameras intensify, there has been an increasing number of reports about police officers misusing the surveillance system for personal purposes. Officers all across the country have exploited the company's automated license plate reader cameras to track romantic partners or acquaintances in recent months. Despite claims that the cameras help police find and apprehend criminals, this new trend has raised even more complaints and criticisms about law enforcement agencies using the cameras with little to no oversight. CBS News reported that Habersham County, Georgia, Sheriff’s Office Deputy Christian Brewer was fired and...

Independent journalists Nick Sortor and Karlyn Borysenko were in serious danger on Saturday night after being confronted, threatened with death, and having their vehicle attacked with vomit by Black Lives Matter rioters in a self-declared “autonomous zone” that has taken over several blocks of downtown Madison, Wisconsin. The zone, known as the “Corey Ruiz Autonomous Zone” or “CRAZ,” was formed in the days following the July 22 police shooting of Corey Ruiz, an armed serial felon who was killed while allegedly attacking an officer with a knife. Protesters have built barricades of pallets, furniture, and spike strips, blocked streets, set...

Former Republicans Majorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson are apparently serious about their plans to launch a new political party — and they’ve got some help too. Greene posted a picture on Saturday of her and her new husband Brian Glenn sitting at a wooden table headed by Carlson, who was flanked by lame duck Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and another ex-fan of President Donald Trump: Joe Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center who quit earlier this year in protest of the Iran war. Massie and Kent’s wife are also seated at the table. Everyone appears to...

A Houston funeral home director appeared in court on Friday on multiple felony charges involving a scheme to steal more than $2.2 million from a deceased man’s estate. Unique Mica Green-Battle is accused of forging documents to claim he is the spouse and successor of the victim, Lawrence Gammon. The forged documents include a fake will, a falsified death certificate, forged probate documents, and fraudulent filings used to gain control of the estate, according to Fox 26. Police executed a search warrant of Green-Battle’s business in November 2025 after families accused the funeral home of mishandling corpses and committing fraud....

The Spanish enclave of Ceuta, located on the African coast next to Morocco, is being invaded by military-aged men who broke through border gates, fences, and the coastal barriers that mark the border. So far, several tens of thousands of Moroccans (and who knows who else?) have flooded across the border, creating panic in the city of 85,000, and the flow is not stopping. Moroccan authorities, in fact, appear to be facilitating the invasion. Not coincidentally, nearly 2,000 criminals were pardoned and released from prison, leading many to speculate that the two are connected. Spain's Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has...

I have noticed in recent months that a large number of "new" leftist groups all trace back to PPF which is known as both Players Philanthropy and People First. Its website implies that it can assist NGOs/non-profits in getting matching government grants where one government grant is the matching money for another government grant. Is it worth some transparency research to find out where all these leftist groups get their money, asks spintreebob

Italy’s most senior politicians have called for Spain to be kicked out of Europe’s Schengen zone, with tempers running hot as thousands of migrants reportedly forced their way into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Images of people entering the Spanish territory on the coast of Morocco have been amplified on social media, drawing a furious reaction from anti-migration campaigners and politicians. “The images coming from Ceuta are shocking and demonstrate, once again, that uncontrolled illegal immigration poses a real threat to the security of Europe’s borders,” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote on X. “We are prepared to take action...

In idyllic Sidney, Ohio, roughly two miles southwest of the 166-year-old fairgrounds, just past the Louis Sullivan-designed bank and ornate Court Square, lies the newest location of SEMCORP Manufacturing USA Inc., a Chinese battery component manufacturer that prefers its new hires speak Mandarin. Photos and other investigative materials reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation show Chinese nationals being transported between temporary housing in motels and the Sidney plant at unusual hours, resembling the “996” (9 a.m. to 9 p.m., 6 days a week) practice in China. The materials include job posts on Indeed.com listing the company’s preferred language as...

The former White House coordinator of the COVID Task Force says the contentious Senate hearing that put Dr. Anthony Fauci and his diary under scrutiny shows there is still "persistent anger" over the government's handling of the pandemic. In an interview on CBS News' "The Takeout," Dr. Deborah Birx said she thought Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, who was Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor during the pandemic, "got it the most right for all of us." He wondered, she said, "Did I get the balance right between saving lives and preserving people's livelihoods?" "That is a very deep question, and I think what...

The White House on Tuesday released a sweeping summary of findings from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, arguing that a laboratory-related incident remains the most likely origin of COVID-19 and accusing senior public health officials of shaping the public narrative around the virus’s emergence. The release also renewed criticism of former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, EcoHealth Alliance, the National Institutes of Health, the World Health Organization and several federal and state agencies. It claimed key officials obstructed congressional investigations, mishandled oversight of high-risk research and failed to provide transparent guidance...
