On Wednesday, an Afghan national ambushed two National Guardsmen just steps from the White House. What was he doing here? Well, the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, arrived in the U.S. in September 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome, in the aftermath of Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Of course, Biden's administration assured Americans that every Afghan entering under that program went through strict vetting. Few believed it then, and it certainly rings hollow now; the shooting looks like a direct consequence of recklessness that defined Biden’s withdrawal. And Charlie Kirk not only warned us about this, but also believed it was intentional....

Today, his prediction came true. It’s the same playbook as the phony Ukraine impeachment. They’re trying it again! With @JackPosobiecGrok Summary of AI-Generated Video TranscriptJack Posobiec predicted on a show that, following a certain video, opponents would repeat the 2019 Ukraine impeachment playbook by leaking a classified Trump-related phone call to derail his administration. Less than 24 hours later, Bloomberg published a leaked transcript of a phone call between Steve Witkoff (Trump’s special envoy) and Vladimir Putin’s senior foreign policy advisor. The leak is being framed by critics as a scandal involving Witkoff allegedly advising Russia on how to pressure...

A federal judge dismissed the Virginia criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday, finding that interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan was improperly appointed to her position and “had no lawful authority” to secure indictments of either of President Trump’s longtime adversaries. The humiliating defeat for the administration came 11 days after attorneys for both Comey and James had argued that Halligan had to be confirmed by the Senate after Attorney General Pam Bondi used up her allotted 120-day interim appointment on Erik Siebert, who resigned Sept. 19 after Trump publicly...

“In our prayers, something is being jostled, we are having an effect.”

“. . . the Democrat Party is no longer a political party. It is an insurrectionist crime syndicate that will torch the Constitution to stay in power.” —Stephen Miller. The old joke goes: A-list actor is having lunch with studio chief. Studio chief says, Didja hear so-and-so (well-known Hollywood agent) dropped dead this morning. His heart. A-list actor says, Gee, I didn’t know he had one. Kind of brings to mind the late Veep Dick Cheney, who actually did have a heart, but one so grotesquely diseased that he had his first near-fatal infarction at age thirty-seven, followed by surgeries...

When Obama administration officials manufactured U.S. intelligence tying Donald Trump to Moscow following his stunning 2016 victory, they had no idea Trump’s own political appointees would help them undermine Trump’s presidency – and his chances of reelection in 2020. RCI’s review of recently declassified documents and exclusive interviews with former Trump officials reveals for the first time how key members of Trump’s cabinet and other appointees during his first term shrouded the previous administration’s machinations and either deliberately or inadvertently misled the public into thinking the fake Russiagate intelligence was real.

Don't you think if 2 violent assassins were into http://GlennBeck.com subculture, the media and the FBI would be all over that?!(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai. Go Unlimited to remove this message.) Independent researchers now are using the same kind of digital forensic tools that the feds have and they're piecing together a bunch of old online accounts tied directly to Crook's email, his real email and his name. And one of the biggest ones was on DeviantArt, ground zero for the furry community. Usernames like EpicMicrowave and TheEpicMicrowave. This kid was not casually browsing, he was deep in that subculture, we find...

Redmond police turned off their city’s Flock Safety cameras last week after masked, unidentified officers — later identified as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents — arrested seven people, at least three less than a mile from one or more of the city’s cameras. During a City Council session Oct. 27, Redmond police Chief Darrell Lowe said no federal agency had accessed the city’s Flock data, but agreed to suspend officers’ access to the system until city officials had discussed ending Redmond’s contract with the company. Redmond City Council member Angie Nuevacamina said Thursday the proximity of the arrests to...

". . . the fake news isn’t reporting on Operation Arctic Frost. It’s not that they’re trying to cover it up. . . but that they actually think it was totally normal and legitimate." — Hans Mahncke. Surely you’ve noticed in recent years just how gruesome the Halloween townscape has become with our competitive yard displays of giant skeletons, shrieking ghouls, corpses seeming to emerge from the crabgrass, and miscellaneous body parts strewn about the property. The symbolism seems pretty overt: America yearns to become a death cult. The world has seen this before and it generally doesn’t end well....

A fascinating hour-long interview with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner as they outline the backstory to the Israel-Hamas peace agreement in Gaza. During a segment (prompted below) Witkoff and Kushner are outlining the step-by-step process as they engaged the leaders of Qatar, Turkey and Egypt. Witkoff reveals how the CIA was briefing them both, multiple times a day, and the briefing itself was exactly the opposite of what Emir of Qatar and Presidents of Turkey and Egypt were telling them. The CIA intelligence was the exact opposite of reality. WATCH: [video at source] What they are describing is EXACTLY why...

Interesting discussion. Witkoff and Kushner were being briefed by the CIA on the exact opposite position of Hamas as explained by the leaders of Qatar, Egypt and Turkey.What the CIA was saying to them was exactly the opposite of reality, as Kushner and Witkoff put the peace deal together. Remarkable.

The Democratic Party is collapsing before our eyes. You can see it in the polls. You can see it in their internal panic. You can see it in the way their message shifts from week to week as they desperately grope for something—anything—that resonates with the American people. Now they’re shutting down the government because they want to fund healthcare for illegal aliens. Why you ask? For two reasons: one, because they need to continue to create a new demographic for political power by keeping the illegals here on our social welfare programs to shore up Democrat Party power. Second,...

The Supreme Court just handed President Trump one of his biggest wins yet that's already serving as the legal nuclear weapon that will obliterate the administrative state. In the decisive 6 to 3 ruling, the justices shattered nearly a century of protection that kept unelected bureaucrats safely beyond presidential reach. Now, what this means is that this isn't just another legal victory. It's basically the death certificate for the deep state's century long strangle hold on American government.

Charlie Kirk furiously criticized 'bullying' Jewish donors and said he was considering 'leaving the pro-Israel cause' before his death, it was confirmed today. The bombshell revelation comes after Candace Owens released a screenshot of Kirk fuming in a group chat that Jewish donors were pulling funding over his links to Tucker Carlson. Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet confirmed the authenticity of the screenshots on Tuesday during the latest episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, In the text messages, Kirk privately complained that a Jewish donor had withdrawn a $2 million investment into the organization because he refused to disinvite Carlson...

When I began a career of digging into the Left’s shadowy financiers, conservatives were losing the “dark money” war. Less than a decade later, it’s the Left facing extinction — and no one’s more astonished by the turnaround than I am.In August, news came that the Gates Foundation — one of the world’s largest mega-funders of “progressive” political schemes — was quietly defunding Arabella Advisors, the dark money ATM that’s benefitted from over half a billion dollars from Gates since 2009. Armed with billions, the Arabella network exploits our nonprofit charity laws to agitate for D.C. statehood, pack the Supreme...

CBS News now reporting that the Trump FBI are planning for Comey’s perp walk, and that FBI agents are being suspended for refusing to cooperate. Kash confirmed that agents will be relieved if they don’t follow chain of command. Comey’s perp walk sounds imminent 👀

Another high-ranking prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia has been fired. Last month, President Trump fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff, and others. Shortly after Siebert’s firing, Lindsey Halligan, the new Acting US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, indicted former FBI Director James Comey. However, the night before Lindsey Halligan indicted Comey, Deep State prosecutors in the EDVA, leaked a memo in an effort to defend Comey. “Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA...

Can anyone dismantle the administrative state? Only one president has had both the desire and opportunity to crush and disable the administrative state, but more importantly, end the Marxist dialectic that has infected and subsumed this nation and post-modern Western civilization. Nixon wished to shrink the federal bureaucracy, but enemies inside the government would never allow him the opportunity, while Nixon himself, at the same time, enlarged the administrative state by creating the EPA. Reagan could have engineered the opportunity, but never gave his Office of Management and Budget director, David Stockman, enough power to go beyond just designing tax...

Three years ago, RealClearInvestigations reported that the FBI was undercounting the number of armed civilians who had thwarted active shooters by a factor of three. Even though the FBI acknowledged the issue at the time, it never corrected the error involving the politically fraught issue. In the years since, the problem has only gotten worse. Since RCI’s 2022 article, the FBI has acknowledged just three additional incidents of armed good Samaritans stopping active shooters from 2022 to 2024, and none in the last two years. In contrast, the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), which I head, has documented 78 such...

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted for lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation. Truth be told, that indictment should be only the tip of the iceberg for the charges that Comey should eventually face, but even this modest first step has left-wing politicos caterwauling about President Trump’s “unprecedented” use of the Department of Justice to seek revenge on his political enemies — a “glass-break moment” that “thrust the Justice Department into perilous new territory,” according to The New York Times.Sen. Elizabeth Warren posted that “using the justice system to go after political opponents is what dictators...
