President Donald Trump has appointed Paul Ingrassia, a right-wing attorney and onetime podcaster who has defended avowed white supremacist Nick Fuentes and worked with antisemitic influencer Andrew Tate, to a new senior role as head of the United States Office of Special Counsel. It is the second promotion this week for a federal staffer with a record involving antisemitism. Kingsley Wilson, a Department of Defense official who has shared neo-Nazi conspiracy theories about Jewish lynching victim Leo Frank, recently ascended to Pentagon press secretary. “Paul is a highly respected attorney, writer, and Constitutional Scholar, who has done a tremendous job...

Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer NEW THREAD: 🚨 STATE DEPARTMENT VETTING CRISIS CONTINUES 🚨 OBAMA HOLDOVERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE JCPOA (otherwise known as the Iran Nuclear Deal) STILL EMPLOYED AT US STATE DEPARTMENT WHERE THEY ARE ADVISING ON IRAN NEGOTIATIONS IN THE NEW TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 As President Donald Trump prepares to steer America’s foreign policy into a bold new era and engages in direct negotiations with Iran, a troubling relic of the Obama administration still lingers inside the US State Department: Nathanael “Nate” Swanson. Swanson is another Obama era unelected bureaucrat who has been entrenched at...

Universities and colleges across the country can thank Harvard for this latest development. If federal courts won't allow the Department of Homeland Security to deal directly with Harvard on compliance for the Student Education Visa Program (SEVP), the administration can simply make it more difficult for everyone instead. That seems to be the case today, although this may have accelerated a project that would have started soon anyway. After a federal court issued a stay that allows Harvard to continue enrolling foreign students, the Trump administration paused the entire program. Embassies and consulates have been ordered to stop conducting necessary...

I chose the name: Mazelit Liel Yocheved, and I converted last night before shabbat services in Delray, Florida.Dear friends,Last night, on the Shabbat of Behar-Bechukotai, the 26th of Iyyar, 5785, I officially converted to Judiasm.

But after October 7th happened, I knew I needed to go back.There are many reasons why I’ve converted, some of which I’ll cover in a following essay when the dizzyness and excitment of the...

Dan –– blink twice if they've threatened you or your family.

Now you know why Trump is so eager to cut wasteful spending! The real mystery is why Democrats and RINOs are so determined to continue wasteful spending and not cut taxes. Trump inherited a fiscal disaster from Biden and Congress. Not to mention The Federal Reserve. Credit default swaps (CDS) for the USA are near Greece (and China) levels. ... Since Covid struck in 2020, US debt is up a staggering 56% ... And M2 Money is up 40% since Covid.

Top brass at the FBI has emphatically declared that notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein’s death in 2019 was a suicide and that there is no evidence to suggest otherwise. FBI deputy director Dan Bongino and director Kash Patel have both concluded Epstein took his own life in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City. “I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There’s no evidence in the case file indicating otherwise,” Bongino, a former conservative talk radio host, wrote on X.

On Wednesday, the same day Palestinian Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi was released on bail pending a Habeas hearing after a judge determined that he did not pose a risk to the public, Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky blasted the Congress for pushing new speech restrictions, particularly antisemitism measures that would restrict criticism of Israel on school campuses. “We’re either a free society governed by the Constitution, or we’re not. We need to challenge hate with reason, not censorship.” Paul was specifically addressing the Antisemitism Awareness Act which would codify a Trump-era executive order declaring that antisemitism is a...

The O’Keefe Media Group on Thursday released undercover video of US Attorney General Pam Bondi revealing previously undisclosed information about Jeffrey Epstein. In an April 28 recording Pam Bondi revealed to a stranger in a DC restaurant that there are ‘tens of thousands of videos of little kids’ for the FBI to comb through.

A report in Israel’s Israel Hayom says that President Donald Trump is “disappointed” in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and has decided to make his next moves in the Middle East without him. The report, published in Hebrew and citing two sources close to Trump, would seem to corroborate the observation that Trump has cut Netanyahu out of his decision-making process on major policy steps. Last month, Trump surprised Netanyahu by announcing that the U.S. would begin “direct” talks with the Iranian regime over a new nuclear deal. And this week, he surprised Israel again by announcing that the U.S....

The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released explosive undercover video of John Bryan, a royal family advisor, exposing Prince Andrew’s sexual relations with minors and ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Bryan, a trusted advisor to the Duke of York, also alleged that Prince Andrew lied to him about his involvement in sexual misconduct with minors. “I knew he [Prince Andrew] saw...

Another F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier has been lost in the Red Sea, the second jet lost from the carrier in just over a week, five people familiar with the matter told CNN. It is not entirely clear what happened yet, as the investigation is ongoing, but two of the people said there was some kind of arrestment failure as the jet was trying to land on the carrier and the pilot and weapons systems officer had to eject. They were recovered by a rescue helicopter and are both alive, but they...

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a prominent populist congresswoman and Trump-ally, voiced concerns in a long Friday post on X about the state of the Trump administration, criticizing the current position of the administration on Iran, Ukraine, as well as a host of domestic issues. “I campaigned for no more foreign wars,” Greene wrote. “And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran.” Greene was also highly critical of the so-called “Minerals Deal” between the U.S. and Ukraine, opining: And on top of that, now we are told that we have signed a deal for mineral...

Behind the scenes, a top department official pressed employees to gather a list of activists and investigate them, people familiar with the matter said.A top Trump appointee in the Justice Department ordered an aggressive investigation in the last several months of student protesters at Columbia University, raising anger and alarm among career prosecutors and investigators who saw the demand as politically motivated and lacking legal merit, people familiar with the episode said. The demand for the inquiry into students who protested Israel’s conduct of the conflict in Gaza also prompted pushback from a federal magistrate judge, who believed some of...

Sen. John Fetterman (D., Pa.) says the Trump administration should drop nuclear negotiations with Iran and finish off the country's nuclear facilities with a military strike. "Waste that s—t," the Pennsylvania Democrat told the Washington Free Beacon in an interview on Wednesday. "You're never going to be able to negotiate with that kind of regime that has been destabilizing the region for decades already, and now we have an incredible window, I believe, to do that, to strike and destroy Iran's nuclear facilities." Fetterman dismissed the foreign policy experts who warn that striking Iran would lead to the outbreak of...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke via phone on Tuesday with US President Donald Trump, the American leader said, declaring that the pair “are on the same side of every issue.” The call covered “numerous subjects including Trade, Iran, etc.,” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, adding that the conversation went “very well.” Notably, Trump did not include Gaza or the 59 hostages being held there in his list of topics discussed amid the ongoing impasse in ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas. However, according to a report in Axios, the pair did talk about efforts to reach...

Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur If @nytimes is right and Trump refused Israel's request to attack Iran, he deserves a ton of credit for that. Times reporting @TulsiGabbard made the argument against the strike - huge credit for that. @JDVance also spoke against. Not a lot of good news lately, but this is great. 4:24 PM · Apr 17, 2025

America’s non-profit sector is at the root of the post-October 7 tidal wave of domestic terrorism, antisemitism, and destructive anti-Israel protests plaguing the United States. A series of large-scale investigations by Capital Research Center (CRC) revealed that the leadership of the so-called “pro-Palestinian” movement is, at its core, anti-American and anti-Western. It views the US exactly the same way it views Israel: as an illegitimate, genocidal entity that must be destroyed. The cumulative conclusion of these reports serves as a warning about what is to come unless the corrective measures CRC identified are implemented: a burgeoning nationwide insurgency in the...
