This announcement (Dan Bongino's resignation from the FBI) does not come as a surprise to those follow the details of corrupt systems closely and who have watched the scale of the problems surface through the years.The problems within the FBI as an institution are systemic. Both Kash Patel and Dan Bongino faced a monumental challenge in trying to get their arms around the scale of the problem within the institution. There is no apple, only worms. Any type of institutional confrontation at this scale can only succeed if the problems are first admitted. Bongino faced a big challenge with Director...

Washington — President Trump said he will deliver a prime-time address to the nation live from the White House on Wednesday night. The president did not say what the topic of his address will be. It's also not yet clear if the address will be from the Oval Office. "My Fellow Americans: I will be giving an ADDRESS TO THE NATION tomorrow night, LIVE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, at 9 P.M. EST.," he wrote on Truth Social Tuesday afternoon. "I look forward to 'seeing' you then. It has been a great year for our Country, and THE BEST IS YET...

Kyle Rittenhouse re-emerged on social media Wednesday to announce he had gotten married and to share a photo of his bride holding an AR-style rifle. His bride’s name is Bell: Rittenhouse came into the national eye on August 25, 2020, after using an AR-15 rifle to defend himself while under assault in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He subsequently faced two charges of murder, one charge of attempted murder, and two charges of reckless endangerment relating to the melee during Black Lives Matter riots in Kenosha. On November 19, 2021, Breitbart News noted that Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges. On...

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino on Thursday brushed off questions about his past claims of a cover up in the case of who planted pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican national committee offices a day before the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. When Fox News’s Sean Hannity reminded his former colleague of his past social media comments, Bongino said the FBI was “pretty comfortable we have our guy.” “Listen I was paid in the past, Sean, for my opinions,” the former political commentator continued. “That’s clear. And one day I will be back in that space, but that’s not...

FBI Director Kash Patel is facing withering criticism from an alliance of active-duty and retired agents and analysts, days after the White House denied media reports that the president is about to fire him. A troubling new report card on the first six months of Patel’s leadership concludes he is “in over his head” and his deputy, Dan Bongino, is “something of a clown,” according to the alliance, which in two previous reports warned about crippling DEI and politicization of the FBI during the Biden administration. The Patel-led FBI is described in the 115-page report as a “rudderless ship” and...

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has received little support from long-time allies Russia and China as President Trump ramps up military pressure against Caracas. Beijing and Moscow, Maduro’s two most powerful allies, have previously provided Venezuela with military equipment, financial aid, and army training in the face of American aggression — but both nations have strayed from their usual tactics as they face their own military and economic woes. While Russia previously deployed two nuclear-capable bombers to Venezuela as a united show of force against the US in 2018, Moscow’s generosity has apparently dried up as it approaches its fourth year...

President Donald Trump summoned FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to the White House on Wednesday. The president's public schedule described the meeting as an update on the fight against violent crime. But once everyone was in the room, Trump made it clear he had something else in mind. It was time, the president said, to speed the indictments of his political foes - the former officials who, he alleges, tried to destroy him and his family. Pointing up at the portraits of presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson which line the...

Investigative journalist James O’Keefe posted his latest undercover video report to 𝕏 Monday, exposing a fraudulent scheme where firms are reportedly ripping off taxpayers to the tune of around $100 billion. https://x.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1980344367014429114?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1980344367014429114%7Ctwgr%5Ea7b4e89b38fb543b04f961523d4fa0cef11fef49%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.infowars.com%2Fposts%2Fjames-okeefe-exposes-massive-100-billion-federal-contracting-scam-in-latest-undercover-video Hilariously hiding his identity with a cheap wig and eyeglasses, O’Keefe filmed a meeting he had with the director of contracts for ATI Government Solutions where the scam was openly discussed during a meal. O’Keefe explained the Biden administration’s 8(a) SBA Program is being exploited by shell companies that receive lucrative no-bid government contracts for being Native American-owned, collect around 65% of the money and pass along the...

FOX: These indictments caused Obama to say democracy is being threatened. TRUMP: I know. He says that all the time - HE'S the one that threatened it by SPYING on my campaign. HE STARTED IT. Obama spied on my campaign. And he did it knowing it was illegal. But he started the whole thing! There were a lot of dishonest people - and I suspect they'll be caught!

On Fox News this morning, President Donald Trump ripped Democrat lawmakers who have kept the government shutdown for 19 days. He said that they have “Trump Derangement Syndrome." “We have a deal. We just want an extension. And the reason we want an extension is because you can’t make a deal with these people. They’re lunatics. They’re gone crazy. They’re crazed people. Trump derangement syndrome. There really is that disease. At first, I found it to be amusing. Now, I find there really is - they want $1.5 trillion for health care for illegal aliens. If we do that, it...

President Donald Trump said Friday he had commuted the sentence of former U.S. Rep. George Santos, who is serving more than seven years in federal prison after pleading guilty to fraud and identity theft charges. The New York Republican was sentenced in April after admitting last year to deceiving donors and stealing the identities of 11 people — including his own family members — to make donations to his campaign. He reported to the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, in southern New Jersey, on July 25 and is being housed in a minimum security prison camp with fewer than 50...

FBI Director Kash Patel tells Just the News that the bureau is "on the verge" of unmasking the command structure and financing for anarchist groups like Antifa that have unleashed unrest around America and has also identified potential new criminal activity related to the abuse of federal law enforcement and intelligence. "We are looking at so many different leads on criminal activity by those who are in positions of power, and we're not going to stop until every single one of those is fully exposed," Patel said during a wide-ranging interview this week on the "Just the News, No Noise"...

One guy used $2.1 MILLION to pay his American Express Credit Card

Mike Davis just dropped a bomb on Fox News during his chat with Maria Bartiromo… and if what he’s saying turns out to be true, we’re not just talking about another political scandal, folks. We’re talking about the indictment of the century. Ironically, for years, the left and their media puppets told America that “Russian collusion” was the crime of the century. But the real crime, as Mike cleverly points out, wasn’t anything that Trump did… it’s what the Obama-Biden-Hillary crew unleashed on President Trump. The Crossfire Hurricane hit job wasn’t just the usual political dirty tricks. It was the...

Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman BREAKING: This CNN host started stuttering as she realized just HOW MANY people are FINALLY being held accountable! John Bolton, John Brennan, Lisa Cook, Chris Krebs, Adam Schiff, Jack Smith, Miles Taylor, Reid Hoffman, Mark Milley, George Soros, Fani Willis, and Chris Wray. There are HUNDREDS more that need to be indicted.

FBI Director Kash Patel has fired agents involved in tracking phone calls of eight Republican senators and a congressman as part of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation of President Donald Trump. Communication records belonging to GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham (SC), Marsha Blackburn (TN), Ron Johnson (WI), Josh Hawley (MO), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Bill Hagerty (TN), Dan Sullivan (AK), Tommy Tuberville (AL), and Rep. Mike Kelly (PA) were handed over to Smith’s “Arctic Frost” team after they subpoenaed major phone companies in 2023, Breitbart News reported. That fact was unknown to the public until this week, with Patel saying he...

BREAKING: Secretary Kristi Noem tells arrested illegal pedophile from Portland that he will be prosecuted and deported to his FACE. The child molester was arrested just one hour ago. Team Trump is NOT messing around here. Watch this:

Joe Biden’s presidency was a multi-trillion dollar criminal conspiracy that shred every “norm,” violated nearly every right, and abused any power it could to punish its political opponents. The Trump administration’s prosecutions of Team Biden’s abuses of power may be the healthiest development for the rule of law since the end of Jim Crow.This is a story Republicans should tell with pride — and must tell incessantly, or the next Democrat administration will make Biden’s four years look like Camelot under Arthur.The Seeds of CorruptionThe seeds of the Biden administration’s weaponization of government were sown while he was still vice...

We've known for a while that the FBI and DOJ, under the Biden administration, ran an operation called "Arctic Frost" that targeted conservative figures and organizations, including the late Charlie Kirk and TPUSA. Yesterday, we learned that former Special Counsel Jack Smith was also monitoring the private communications of nearly a dozen GOP senators, including Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Josh Hawley (R-MO). In response to that revelation, FBI Director Kash Patel has started cleaning house. Here's what Fox News is reporting:The FBI has already terminated employees and abolished the CR-15 squad just one day after it was revealed that several...
