VIDEOS AT LINK............... The federal government is moving to follow the money behind Antifa, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the public will start seeing the results soon. Just the News reported on May 28, 2026 that Bessent highlighted IRS reporting-policy changes built to help identify Antifa’s funding sources. He spoke from the White House and pointed to a new requirement that nonprofits identify and know their grant recipients. That is the kind of paperwork rule that sounds dull until you remember how dark money actually moves through the nonprofit world. The briefing exchange showed the administration is treating Antifa...

In Lawrence, Massachusetts, a whistleblower revealed a welfare scam that the Dominican community has been running for over a decade. Here is how it works: Dominican immigrants buy food with EBT cards or take it for free from food banks. They then load it into shipping barrels and send it to the Dominican Republic, where it is sold for profit in local bodegas. We tracked the entire pipeline, from corner stores in Massachusetts to shipping hubs in New York to bodegas in Santo Domingo that are stocked with food paid for by the American taxpayer. We are prepared to share...

Lupita Nyong'o is not the only actress discovering how brutal modern franchise fandom can become after a major casting announcement. From fantasy epics to superhero reboots, Hollywood’s newest leading women are increasingly being forced to survive online backlash before their films even reach production. Now Milly Alcock has found herself at the center of that same cycle following her casting in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Alcock has spent the last several months absorbing waves of online hostility despite reportedly being one of James Gunn’s top choices for Kara Zor El. Industry insiders following the DC reboot process noted early that...

An unreleased poll appears to undermine the White House’s stated rationale for pivoting away from policies that inflame pharmaceutical companies. The Daily Caller News Foundation obtained a secret poll conducted in October 2025 by President Donald Trump’s longtime pollster Tony Fabrizio finding that 73% of voters expressed concern about childhood vaccine mandates, while a whopping 90% of voters expressed concern about the pharmaceutical industry’s corrupting influence. The October poll was never released. White House officials in media reports have instead cited a more limited poll Fabrizio conducted a month later concluding the issue is a political loser to justify Health...

Hundreds of thousands of migrants are scrambling to secure British citizenship for themselves and their families before any immigration restrictions come into place in what outlets are describing as evidence of the consequences of the “Boriswave” post-Brexit mass migration wave. The surge has seen a record-breaking amount of more than 312,000 migrants apply for citizenship between March 2025 and 2026 — 20 percent higher than the roughly 263,400 documented in the previous period. The over 312,000 citizenship applications filed over the past year represent the highest amount on record and double the rate documented eight years ago by the Home...

n less than a week, the U.S. attorney in Miami supervising the probe of Obama-Biden era government weaponization secured indictments against Cuban communist dictator Raul Castro and an alleged money launderer for Venezuelan strongarm man Nicolas Maduro. But it was Jason Reding Quinones’ request for an indictment against one of his own former federal prosecutors for trying to steal a sealed, classified report from Jack Smith’s investigation of President Donald Trump that may have sent the loudest shockwaves through government. The charges against former Assistant U.S. Attorney Carmen Mercedes Lineberger carry more than 20 years in prison, and put on...

Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey is shaping up to be the biggest movie of the year, and right-wing voices are furious at it. “Chris Nolan desecrated the Odyssey,” wrote Elon Musk on X. Musk, alongside hundreds of right-wing culture warriors algorithmically boosted on his platform, have spent the past few weeks fuming over the news that Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong’o is playing Helen of Troy, and that transgender actor Elliot Page might be playing Achilles. One right-wing influencer described the casting of Page as Achilles as “the final straw to ruin Homer.” Another pundit, in a post that received...

Tulsi Gabbard resigned as President Donald Trump’s Director of National Intelligence on Friday, citing her husband’s recent diagnosis with bone cancer. While both Gabbard and Trump put out releases citing Gabbard’s husband’s illness, Reuters reported that Gabbard “had been forced out by the White House.” Reuters ran with the initial headline, “White House forced top spy Gabbard to resign, source says,” and included the line, “A source familiar with the matter said that ​Gabbard had been forced out by the White House.” Gabbard’s chief of staff as DNI, Alexa Henning, shared Reuters’s report and wrote, “Just when you think you...

Law enforcement veterans are expressing deep concerns that the Trump Justice Department's criminal investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan is being systematically stacked with politically motivated personnel who are intent on a partisan indictment. Brennan is the subject of two criminal probes being led by the Miami-area U.S. Attorney's Office. One is weighing allegations that he lied to Congress in 2023 about the U.S. intelligence community's assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 election. The second is a sprawling "grand conspiracy" probe examining whether Obama- and Biden-era officials were part of a long-running conspiracy to keep President Trump out...

In Los Angeles, it is a crime and internet sleuths are actively doing their thing... Yesterday, someone was captured in broad daylight in the Sherman Oaks / Valley Village / Studio City areas stealing campaign signs of Spencer Pratt, the surging candidate for mayor of Los Angeles. One security camera video shows the perp pulling-up a Pratt sign from privately owned property and walking away with it, which is a violation of California Penal Code 490.2, and elsewhere California Penal Code Section 594 for defacing, damaging, or vandalizing the signs. It is unclear whether another person walking by at that...

The D.C. establishment is showing its true colors in their latest swampy move. Senate Republicans are considering adding eligibility restrictions to the new “Anti-Weaponization Fund” as part of the ongoing reconciliation bill process. As part of the settlement agreement in “President Donald J. Trump v. Internal Revenue Service,” the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the formation of “The Anti-Weaponization Fund,” funding it with approximately $1.776 billion from the federal Judgment Fund. This agreement was formed in place of Trump or his family receiving any of the $10 billion in restitution they sought through the original lawsuit. FLASH: DOJ expands...

The Left has been calling for violence relentlessly since Donald Trump re-assumed his presidency — and once again, they’ve got it. It’s a horrific story, and we warn readers that there’s disturbing content ahead. The facts: The wife of the elderly San Diego man brutally beaten outside his MAGA-inspired “Trump House” said there’s “no hope” for her husband after the vicious attack left him fighting for his life.

His wife, Maria, revealed to The California Post through tears that her husband isn’t...

Rep. Tim Burchett Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett just left a House committee meeting Thursday, blasting Republican leadership for caving to Democrats in yet another backroom deal that’s handing the majority party’s power straight over to the radical left. The outspoken conservative firebrand didn’t hold back, unloading on the “crooked” Washington establishment for refusing to let Republicans act like they’re actually in charge, even as they hold the gavel. Burchett’s explosive exit and no-holds-barred tirade perfectly capture what millions of fed-up Americans have been screaming for years: the GOP is blowing its majority because too many so-called “leaders” are more interested...

The Senate is heading home until June without finishing a reconciliation bill, after Republican tensions over the package coincided with President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R-TX) against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman posted on X: “BREAKING NEWS: THE SENATE will go home until June, leaving the reconciliation bill unfinished. THUNE just told senators in the room. All because of the DOJ weaponization fund. House is expected to follow suit soon.” Brendan Pedersen, a senior reporter with Punchbowl News, posted on X: “Thune asked if Senate Rs are responding to politics...

The Minnesota Department of Human Services paid almost a million dollars to Faribault Public Schools over the last three years through a grant awarded to prevent substance use among what is being referred to as an underserved minority population. The grant was the subject of much public interest at school board meetings in 2022 and was placed under a microscope after school officials found a woman who pushed for the grant was charged with fraud. However, specific details about how the school district used the grant money from DHS are only now coming to the surface after local media outlet...

There’s a new story circulating online. It all started with an X post from infamous race-baiting lawyer Ben Crump, the attorney who led the George Floyd charge. In his post, Crump claims that a historic Black cemetery in Palmetto, Florida, was vandalized, with graves damaged and “Trump” and “DeSantis” spray-painted across tombstones.Here’s the X post Crump published:Ben Crump:A historic Black cemetery in Palmetto, Florida, was vandalized, with graves damaged and “Trump” and “DeSantis” spray-painted across tombstones.

Protests against redistricting were held in Montgomery over the weekend, but, to the surprise of no one, George Soros’ fingerprints were all over the event. Leftwing activists showed up to Alabama’s capital city Saturday for the “All Roads Lead to the South” rally. Speakers there took turns calling state leaders “racists” over the new congressional map approved by the Legislature in the recent special session. Riders were bussed in from Oregon, Ohio, and points across the country. The national progressive coalition’s lead coordinator has been bankrolled by George Soros to the tune of $7.61 million. The organizers weren’t shy about...

George Soros’ Open Society Foundations is shifting $300 million into the United States, warning that President Donald Trump, the conservative Supreme Court majority, and attacks on “civil society” threaten American democracy and civil rights. The New York-based organization announced the initiative Tuesday after years concentrating much of its activism overseas, including in Africa and the Middle East. OSF now says the U.S. has become a frontline political battleground. “We certainly believe that civil society is essential and must stay on the playing field,” Laleh Ispahani, OSF’s managing director for the U.S., told The Guardian. Ispahani, previously senior policy counsel at...
