One of the individuals charged with plotting a terrorist attack against the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House earlier this week, and the alleged ringleader of the operation, is an illegal alien, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Abraham Alvarez, a Mexican national, entered the United States as a child and later received deportation relief through former President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program after overstaying his visa. Alvarez was arrested on Sunday by the FBI in Omaha, Nebraska. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has already lodged a detainer against him.

This isn't the kind of news liberals generally see fit to print. The New York Times Magazine this week published a mammoth look at the last days of life for sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, apparently aimed at establishing firmly whether the official finding that Epstein committed suicide actually holds water On that front, the effort is a failure, but the notoriously liberal publication did manage to cement one fact -- and it's not the kind of fact its liberal readership craves when it comes to President Donald Trump. Jeffrey Epstein was obsessed with trying to take down Trump before suicide,...

What began with a concerned mother calling police on her son ended in the thwarting of a terror plot involving drones and snipers aimed at members of U.S. Congress attending Sunday's UFC event at the White House, the government alleges in a criminal complaint filed against one of the plot's admitted leaders, an Ohio teen. Tycen Proper, 19, of Danville, Ohio, told federal investigators on June 11 he intended to "jump-start" a revolution in the U.S. with an attack on June 14 that would begin with drone bombings over the north side of the arena. Co-conspirators, the charging documents allege,...

Another sterling week for the Trump administration, another interval of agony for his opponents. The attention of those less politically minded is focused on the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy -- always fodder for the would-be Colombos and Miss Marples -- and the Olympics. Yet this week saw some victories for the administration along with some serious unfinished business. The ousted dictator Nicolás Maduro seems isolated, depressed, and devoid of funds sufficient to hire teams of lawyers to defend him. Any claims he might have for immunity seem destined to fail. The evidence establishes he was born in Colombia;...

A suicide note purportedly written by the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is locked inside the case file of his former cellmate, convicted quadruple murderer Nicholas Tartaglione, who told The New York Times it was written on paper from a yellow legal pad and tucked inside a book. According to the Times, Tartaglione found the note in July 2019, after Epstein unsuccessfully tried to kill himself -- about two weeks before Epstein died by suicide in his lower Manhattan jail cell. snip Tartaglione first mentioned the existence of the purported suicide note in a podcast last year.

First lady Melania Trump delivered a rare, brief statement Thursday afternoon at the White House, coming out swinging at those who have linked her to Jeffrey Epstein, calling them "devoid of ethical standards." The remarks lasted roughly three minutes and did not include questions from the press. "The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today," she said. "I do not object to their ignorance, but rather I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation."

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is set to testify before the US congress in June about his interactions with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, lawmakers have confirmed. The billionaire philanthropist is the latest high-profile figure to agree to testify before the House Oversight Committee investigating Epstein's wrongdoing. Gates was "looking forward to answering all the committee's questions to support their important work", a spokesperson told the BBC. The hearing is scheduled for 10 June. Gates has not been accused of misconduct by any of Epstein's victims, and his inclusion in investigative files does not imply any criminal activity. Details about Gates'...

It's not the story that Politico really wanted but unfortunately for them, it is the story they ended up with due to cold hard reality. The story in question by Erica Orden appeared on Sunday, "The Epstein files’ cottage industry."What is interesting is that none of the clients that the lawyers are representing is named Donald Trump despite the desperate Politico attempt in the summer of 2025 to link the President to Jeffrey Epstein culminating in SIX Epstein-Trump stories in a 24 hour period in July of that year.As you read the story about the new "cottage industry" for lawyers,...

**The Jerusalem Post** @Jerusalem_Post: Iranian officials are using the Epstein scandal to fuel conspiracy theories aimed at eroding US support for Israeli operations, with a broader effort to sway public opinion in the US against the US-Israel alliance. ✍️ @DanielleGreyman [https://x.com/Jerusalem_Post/status/2033583416923279447] Recent DOJ releases of Epstein files (primarily January–February 2026) have spotlighted several high-profile critics of U.S. interventionism in the Middle East who also appear in Epstein-related correspondence, interviews, flight logs, or records. Below is a clarified, fact-checked summary based on those public documents. **Noam Chomsky** Renowned linguist and one of America’s most consistent critics of U.S. interventionism, including Trump-era...
