In 2019, during the peak hysteria of the Ukraine whistleblower impeachment hoax, I exclusively reported for The Federalist that the Intelligence Community Inspector General secretly gutted internal whistleblower rules requiring firsthand evidence of wrongdoing. I had the whistleblower forms, the revisions, and the dates for all of it, and I conclusively proved all of it. All hell broke loose after I published my report, with Deep State assets and their media lickspittles accusing me of lying, of fabrication, and of botching the facts. I was 100% right, and they all knew it. How do we know this? Because the IG...

Whistleblower admitted on initial form they did not have direct knowledge of Trump's private communications Peter Pinedo By Peter Pinedo Fox News Published April 13, 2026 7:06pm EDT Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released newly declassified testimony that she alleges shows a "coordinated effort" by the intelligence community to "manufacture a conspiracy" used as the basis of President Donald Trump first impeachment. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Monday released two declassified transcripts from closed-door House Intelligence Committee hearings that Gabbard’s office says show former Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson advanced as credible a whistleblower...

Progressive billionaire Tom Steyer has been telling California voters he wants to “abolish ICE” despite investing nearly $90 million in a company behind the state’s largest immigration detention center. The California gubernatorial candidate has tried to swat off that criticism, but in a recent interview with the Sacramento Bee, he said it was a “mistake.” “We never had anything to do with running the company,” Steyer said. “But it was a mistake to think that that was a place where it was decent to make money.” Steyer founded a hedge fund named Farallon Capital Management in 1986. Under his management,...

The shooting of Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez by federal immigration agents on Tuesday is a sickening reminder. It is a sign of what’s to come if California doesn’t do more to protect its communities from government agents behaving like a lawless occupying force

A homeless nonprofit paid the son of San Francisco’s top human rights boss $10,000 to prepare five slides for a panel his mother moderated — as she was signing city contracts worth millions to the organization, according to prosecutors. Sheryl Davis, former head of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission, was arrested Monday on a slew of public corruption charges stemming from her time leading the scandal-scarred Dream Keeper initiative, a $120 million plan to aid the city’s black communities. Davis signed city contracts worth more than $3.5 million to Homeless Children’s Network, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that provides substance...

A disgraced San Francisco human rights chief and her longtime beau have been arrested for allegedly grifting taxpayer funds for personal use through a city program intended to help the city’s black communities. Sheryl Davis, former heard of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission, and her nonprofit boss partner James Spingola were taken into custody Monday on suspicion of multiple felony counts of misappropriating public funds and conflicts of interest. “Public integrity matters because our communities must be able to trust that government agencies treat everyone fairly and serve all members equally,” said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins at a press...

YouTube content creator Nick Shirley, the independent journalist who shined a light on alleged child care fraud in Minnesota, has set his sights on another Democrat-controlled state: California. His new exposé suggests fraudsters in the Golden State are creating fake hospice businesses by using the Medicare beneficiary numbers of seniors who are actually healthy. California hospice enrollment has inexplicably risen by about 1,000% in recent years, Shirley says. He uncovered what he calls $170 million in suspect billings (he looks at some day care operations, too), and said operators appear to be living large by driving luxury vehicles. “California really...

(Holy S***)“We are going to be infiltrating Ilhan Omar's sketchy consulting headquarters that claims that they have $60 billion in assets under their management. Yet they are located out of a co-working place called WeWork. This company is called Rose Lake Capital and it is co-owned by Ilhan Omar's husband Timothy Manette. And similar to the winery in 2023, it made up to $51,000 and it had...

AA staffer for Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, allegedly lied about being an attorney at least 11 times for detainees at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in an effort to meet with them and sneak in cell phones. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons informed Escobar in a letter dated Thursday about Benito Torres, a senior caseworker on the congresswoman's staff. Lyons said Torres lied about being a lawyer for detainees in ICE custody at the Camp East Montana facility at Fort Bliss in El Paso. "The available evidence demonstrates your staffer, a senior caseworker named Benito Torres, misrepresented himself...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has been accused of gaslighting residents while “protecting” violent gangbangers — after the feds took down several members of the city’s largest gang in a daring, heavily-armed raid near MacArthur Park on Thursday. The embattled leader previously blasted a federal operation in July, which saw immigration agents descend on the troubled park to root out MS-13 gangbangers and open-air drug markets, calling it “outrageous” and “un-American.” She also insisted at the time that MacArthur Park, which has long been plagued by gang activity, homelessness and drug addicts overdosing on fentanyl, was a beloved children’s sanctuary....

$16 billion and still no train and no track 18 years later California Governor Gavin Newsom and the state’s elected Democrat politicians show a strange level of desperation to build any part of California’s boondoggle High-Speed Rail system. $16 billion has already been spent on the High Speed Rail project, originally slated to be completed in 2020. But there is no track and no trains, and a missing $16 billion. A quick refresher on California’s High Speed Rail project: In 2008, California voters approved the Proposition 1A bond initiative, authorizing $9 billion in bond money for the construction of a...

California Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff warned during an appearance Sunday on ABC's "This Week" that President Trump intends to "subvert" the midterm elections, perhaps by forcing through a bill mandating voter ID. "He's basically telling us he intends to interfere in this upcoming election," Schiff said. "We cannot ignore what they're telling us they're going to do because time and time again we have seen that they’re willing to go to extraordinary and lawless lengths. The last, best hope for our democracy is not going to be the Congress or the court, it’s going to be the American people." "Republicans...

Despite the program's size, fewer families now receive direct cash assistance than in previous decades. Federal data shows that about 849,000 families received monthly TANF payments in fiscal year 2025, down from approximately 1.9 million families in 2010. Instead, states have increasingly directed funds to contractors, nonprofits and other government programs. Nick Gwyn, a policy expert with the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said the shift reflects a broader transformation in how the program operates. 'The program has drifted away from the core purpose of supporting families with very little income,' Gwyn told the WSJ. More than $30 billion...

SBA suspends more than 111,000 borrowers in the state Earlier this week, the White House announced plans for a new anti-fraud task force targeting welfare abuse in California and other states, and assigned Vice President J.D. Vance, Andrew Ferguson of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and Attorney General Pam Bondi. California Attorney General Rob Bonta fell all over himself Thursday claiming that the California Department of Justice was working to tackle fraud in the state. He even “pushed back” against the Trump Administration’s characterization that California programs are overrun by fraud and that state government is somehow facilitating this fraud....

Do you remember that high-speed rail project in California that was supposed to connect Los Angeles to San Francisco and be completed in 2020? Well, it's finally ready to begin laying track on a much shorter section on a ludicrously bigger budget. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) proudly announced that the high-speed rail has entered the track-laying phase. In his words, “We are now in the process of starting to lay track.” (Emphasis added). This is not for the full Los Angeles-San Francisco line that was supposed to be done six years ago, but for a 119-mile stretch from Madera County...
