A Maine woman might be facing serious consequences after her viral Facebook posts encouraging violence against President Donald Trump and his supporters. JoAnna St. Germain, an English teacher at Waterville Senior High School, is gaining significant attention online after sharing a troubling message on Facebook. The posts were first discovered by the Maine Wire. St. Germain wrote the following in an April 29th post: "The Secret Service has the perfect opportunity, if they choose to step up and take it. You are the ones with power. Coordinate. Take out every single person who supports Trump’s illegal, immoral, unconstitutional acts. Look...

While making the closing argument in this [Camp Douglas] case, on the 17th of April, 1865, I received a dispatch from the Secretary of War, directing me to report in person immediately to the War Department to aid in the examinations respecting the murder of the President. I started for Washington the same evening, reached there on the morning of the 19th, and was "specially assigned by the Secretary of War for duty on the investigation of the murder of President Lincoln and the attempted assassination of Mr. Seward", and a room was assigned to me in the War Department....

On October 8, 2020, only one month before arguably the most hotly contested election in American history, Michigan State Police and the local Muskegon Police Department uncovered a massive, statewide voter registration fraud scheme by the Democrat-funded GBI Strategies. Muskegon- MI AG Inspector Stephen Morse interviews one of the key suspects in the GBI Strategies statewide voter registration fraud scheme On October 8, 2020, only one month before the 2020 general election, Muskegon, MI City Clerk Ann Meisch noticed a black female (whose name was redacted from the police report) dropping off between 8,000-10,000 completed voter registration applications at the...

This afternoon, MI Speaker Pro Tempore Rachelle Smit and Chair of the MI House Election Integrity Committee sent a letter to the United States Attorney General Pam Bondi calling for an investigation into fraudulent voter registration efforts and electioneering by partisan voter registration groups who have accepted donations from 501(c)(3) organizations in violation of IRS regulations that prohibit them from engaging in partisan activities. Screenshot The letter was signed by Smit and 21 additional Michigan Representatives. Not a single Democrat lawmaker from Michigan signed the letter. Is it possible that the Democratic state representatives don’t care about protecting the sanctity...

Steering the utility from the brink of bankruptcy justified a $1.7 million raise for its CEO, the company said. Hawaiian Electric Industries Inc. and its subsidiaries faced torrents of bad news in 2024. Federal investigators found the company’s equipment had started the Lahaina wildfire that killed 102 people and destroyed most of the historic town. The company agreed to pay $1.9 billion to settle hundreds of lawsuits blaming it for the fire. Legislative measures to help bail out the company stalled. The bottom line: a net loss of $1.4 billion for the company. [Caption] Hawaiian Electric Industries, whose equipment sparked...

President Trump announced he will be holding a press conference tomorrow to release a list of names of entities and people involved in government fraud and abuse. This comes one day after Elon Musk said DOGE was investigating how government workers mysteriously accrued millions of dollars. “We do find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who who have essentially a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow manage to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position,” Elon Musk said on Tuesday....

President Trump released a statement following breaking news this morning that the Department of Homeland Security fired four rogue “deep state activists” within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).President Trump said FEMA “is now under review and investigation” and “SHOULD BE TERMINATED!”As The Gateway Pundit’s Cullen Linebarger reported earlier, four FEMA employees were fired by DHS after Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) discovered that just last week, FEMA spent nearly $60 million to house illegal aliens in luxury New York City hotels.The firings reportedly include FEMA’s Chief Financial Officer, two program analysts, and a grant specialist. Elon Musk...

Musk is not a forensic accountant. He and his team have not passed sufficient security checks. They should not have access to our data.

“Big News – Talked to the DOGE team. They are going to plug in to help upgrade our aviation system,” Duffy, 53, had said in an X post Wednesday. Clinton, 77, quickly dunked on the announcement, saying the DOGE team had “no relevant experience.” “Most of them aren’t old enough to rent a car,” she wrote on X. “And you’re going to let them mess with airline safety that’s already deteriorated on your watch?” Duffy then fired back... “Madam Secretary, with all due respect, ‘experienced’ Washington bureaucrats are the reason our nation’s infrastructure is crumbling. You need to sit this...

A federal judge has indicated that she will issue an injunction forbidding members of the DOGE team, which is part of the Executive Office of the Presidency, from reviewing some financial records.During the hearing, a lawyer from the Department of Justice disclosed that two "special government employees" associated with Musk, but employed by the Treasury Department, accessed sensitive records from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service based on "high level guidance" from the Department of Government Efficiency to prevent waste and fraud.U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly gave the government and unions who brought the case until 6 p.m. ET to...

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Senator Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries just announced they are introducing legislation to prevent unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department's payment systems and protect Americans across the country. This is huge.

And he appeared to set his sights on scrutinizing the nation’s top elected Democrat, sending what he called a “letter of inquiry” to Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-New York) about his quickly walked-back statement in a March 2020 rally that two of Trump’s recently nominated Supreme Court justices, Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh, would “pay the price” for a vote against abortion rights. “We take threats against public officials very seriously. I look forward to your cooperation,” Martin wrote Schumer in a Jan. 21 letter obtained by The Post.

Blackrock Inc. is the latest to announce it has left a United Nations-backed Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), among several within one month and not soon after Donald Trump was elected president. It did so as it and roughly 60 companies are being investigated by Congress for allegedly colluding as a “woke ESG cartel” to “impose radical environmental, social, and governance goals on American companies.” Last month, Goldman Sachs was the first to withdraw from the alliance, followed by Wells Fargo, The Center Square reported. Citigroup, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan next announced their departure. According to the "bank-led...

That the incoming Trump administration will go after its political enemies, using all levers of state power to intimidate and persecute those who previously sought to hold the president-elect accountable, can no longer be portrayed as hysterical speculation, nor as something that would surely be opposed by cooler heads in a Republican-led Congress. Donald Trump ran as the candidate of “revenge” and "retribution," filling his meandering campaign speeches with complaints about those who had investigated him over his connections with Russia and incitement of the Jan. 6 insurrection. Anyone hoping an electoral victory would spur a change in heart —...

Brian Thompson, the slain CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was gunned down on Wednesday while top executives at his company have reportedly been under investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for alleged insider trading and a monopoly. “Multiple senior executives at UnitedHealthcare have been under investigation by the Department of Justice, though it is not clear if CEO Brian Thompson was part of that investigation before his murder,” reported Fox Business. “There were reports that the executives were accused of insider trading and fraud, and last year the DOJ launched a probe into whether the nation’s largest insurer was unfairly restricting...

he words scrawled on the bullets used to kill UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson closely resemble the title of a book criticizing insurance companies and the tactics they use to deny claims, it has been revealed. Health insurance boss Brian Thompson, 50, was shot in the back and calf early on Wednesday by a masked man who appeared to be waiting for him outside the Hilton hotel in Manhattan, before succumbing to his injuries in hospital. Detectives investigating the shooting reportedly found shell casings with the words 'depose', 'deny' and 'defend' inscribed on them. They are now working to determine what...

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukraine’s human rights ombudsman urged international organizations Sunday to respond to a claim that several Ukrainian prisoners of war were executed in Russia’s Kursk region, where Kyiv had launched an incursion in August. DeepState, a Ukrainian battlefield analysis site close to Ukraine’s Defense Ministry, said Russian troops shot and killed nine Ukrainian “drone operators and contractors” on Oct. 10 after they had surrendered. Dmytro Lubinets said on Telegram that he sent letters to the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross regarding the claim, calling it “another crime committed by the Russians.”

A federal judge ruled on Saturday that part of a Texas law that enacted new voting restrictions violated the U.S. Constitution by being too vague and restricting free speech. The ruling, made by U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez, immediately halted the state’s ability to investigate alleged cases of vote harvesting, such as the investigation into the League of United Latin American Citizens by Attorney General Ken Paxton. Before today’s ruling, a person who knowingly provided or offered vote harvesting services in exchange for compensation was committing a third-degree felony. This meant that organizers of voter outreach organizations and even volunteers...
