Following the 12-day war, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, spends most days snoozing and getting “high,” an outrageous post from the Mossad’s Farsi social media account mysteriously claimed. “How can a leader lead when they sleep half the day and spend the other half high on substances?” the post asked. The statement came from a bizarre new premium X account that launched in recent weeks, claiming to be the official Farsi-language spokesperson — the official dialect of Iran — for the cunning Israeli intelligence agency, with regular posts trolling the Iranian regime. “Using drugs and speaking to spirits are...

One month ago, in late June 2025, Senator Tom Cotton proposed legislation slashing the workforce of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) led by MAGA favorite Tulsi Gabbard. Cotton proposed cutting the ODNI staff from 1,600 to 650 employees. This was just weeks before Director Tulsi Gabbard released the first documents proving Barack Obama was intimately involved and calling the shots in the Trump-Russia deep state hoax. Cotton has also been a staunch supporter in Ukraine’s losing war against Russia despite the fact that the US has spent over $180 billion on the effort and no one...

On December 6, 2024, Senator Tom Cotton (Republican of Arkansas) introduced a bill in the Senate to replace “West Bank” in all federal documents with “Judea and Samaria,” noting, “The Jewish people’s legal and historic rights to Judea and Samaria go back thousands of years. The US should stop using the politically charged term West Bank to refer to the biblical heartland of Israel.” His bill matches a House bill introduced earlier this year by Representatives Claudia Tenney, Randy Weber, and Anthony D’Esposito. Yes, they are the Jewish names but also the world’s. In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly...

There is no shortage of moral horrors plaguing the planet — in Ukraine, in Sudan, in Haiti, in El Salvador, in Florida’s Alligator Auschwitz — but nothing compares with what Israel is inflicting on the people of the Gaza Strip. However barbaric the Hamas atrocities of Oct. 7, 2023, nothing justifies the systematic starvation of an entire population in the name of trying to kill terrorists. It pains me to write this, not just because I am Jewish and ashamed of a state that calls itself Jewish and thereby implicates every Jew, even if unjustly, but as a human being...

Here’s why Fort Knox gold will never be audited. Not in the past 70+ years, and probably never in the future. What are they hiding from us—and why do even presidents back down when they try to investigate? President Trump said multiple times that he wanted to visit Fort Knox to verify if the gold was really there. Elon Musk offered to livestream the whole thing. And then… nothing. Total silence. No visit. No audit. Not a single follow-up. The story just kind of disappeared. But why? In this video, we talk about the Fort Knox gold controversy—why there hasn’t...

"If Ghislane Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say" Attorney General Pamela Bondi @AGPamBondi Statement from @DAGToddBlanche This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead. The joint statement by the DOJ and FBI of July 6 remains as accurate today as it was when it was written. Namely, that in the recent thorough review of the files maintained by the FBI in the Epstein case, no evidence was uncovered...

Trump's ace up his sleeve?

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨BREAKING: Ghislaine Maxwell was granted “limited immunity” during meetings with Trump’s Deputy Attorney General. “The immunity allowed Maxwell to freely answer Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's questions without fear that her responses could later be used against her, the sources said.” Maxwell’s Attorney: “She didn’t hold anything back.” 5:41 PM · Jul 25, 2025

Much is expected of Ms Maxwell, 63, who was found by the courts to have enabled the campaign of sexual abuse that her late friend and lover, Jeffrey Epstein, waged against young girls. In particular, the Justice Department wants to establish exactly what Ms Maxwell knows about long-running claims of a conspiracy between senior politicians, financiers and public figures who, it is widely alleged, joined Epstein in the abuse and then covered up the evidence. Meanwhile, Americans who believe the claims of a conspiracy hope fervently that she will spill details of the supposed high-level corruption and the 'truth', whatever...

Did Israeli settlers burn down a historic church in Samaria, or was it a viral lie fueled by an anti-Israel agenda? What really happened on the ground? JNS Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten is joined by Tila Falic Levy, a passionate advocate for Israel and Judea and Samaria, to uncover the truth behind the incendiary headlines. Together, they reveal the true nature of the incident, detailing the misleading reports and the facts that were conveniently ignored by mainstream media. From the actual cause of the fire to the broader political implications of this smear campaign, “Judeacation” pulls back the curtain...

President Trump signed an executive order Thursday calling on states and cities to “remove vagrant individuals” from the streets — and rehouse homeless people, drug addicts, and those suffering from mental problems in “treatment centers.” The order redirects federal funding to finance “treatment centers, outpatient treatment and other facilities,” according to an official document viewed by The Post that describes the order. On average, more than 274,000 people were sleeping on the streets each night last year under then-President Joe Biden, the file describing the order says. “The overwhelming majority of these individuals are addicted to drugs, have a mental...

France will recognise a Palestinian state in September at the UN general assembly, Emmanuel Macron has said. The French president announced the decision on X on Thursday evening, saying he hoped it would bring peace to the region. Macron published a letter sent to Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, confirming France’s intention to become the first major western power to recognise a Palestinian state. “True to its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognise the State of Palestine,” Macron said. “I will make this solemn announcement at the...

Ron Paul should have been president. That’s how I see it at least. On everything that has come to matter the most, he has been vindicated. The wars have been a disaster and Dr. Paul knew it. The money printing has run this country’s economy ragged and enriched its most deceitful. And Dr. Paul knew it. Our people are spied on, pried on, cajoled, mocked, and belittled by the intelligence agencies and federal bureaucrats who throw around words such as “terror” while targeting our civil liberties. And Dr. Paul knew it. When it wasn’t pretty, Dr. Paul would say it....

You might remember Mahmoud Khalil. He was anti-Semitic student at Columbia who SoS Marco Rubio tried to remove from the country as an undesirable. America-hating democrats have chosen him as their cause celebre and have decided he is worthy of beatification. Khalil made the rounds with those America hating left-wing politicians for photo-ops yesterday. I had a productive meeting with Mahmoud Khalil today who was illegally detained by the Trump admin. Students continue to be wrongfully disciplined for exercising their First Amendment rights and protesting a taxpayer-funded genocide in Gaza.Our institutions shouldn’t fuel an… pic.twitter.com/8vl1nj0h49— Rep.

Michal Cotler-Wunsh @CotlerWunsh: There is NO genocide in Gaza. There is war - waged by genocidal terrorists for whom human tragedy is the strategy; who use own people as human shields/sacrifices; who use int’l ‘humanitarian aid’ & civilian infrastructure to construct hundreds of km of underground hell. A war that would be over on October 8 if the 251 human beings stolen & held in standing violation of law & morality - 4 of them since 2014 - were returned; & if Hamas war criminals were held to account & prevented from openly declared intent to perpetrate genocidal October 7...

Gaza is starving. Nearly 100,000 women and children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition, and a third of Gaza’s population is going days without eating, according to an expert from the UN World Food Programme. Tons of food sits rotting in warehouses just outside Gaza but the government of Israel will not allow it to be freely delivered. Instead, starving Palestinians must contend with a real-life version of The Hunger Games to try and eat. Over 1,000 desperate Palestinians have been shot dead by Israeli forces since the end of May trying to reach food distribution points run by the...

Satan is not welcome in Russia anymore.The vilification of Russia and the demonization of President Vladimir Putin is a full-time job by the Western media, neocons, and Globalists of all stripes.But despite any geopolitical considerations, Putin’s work to protect religious and family values is impossible to deny.Moscow has outlawed LGBT propaganda and practices in the country, as well as ‘gender reassignment’ surgeries and therapies – but Putin made sure to clarify that homosexual relations between consenting adults are not forbidden.And then, of course, we have the central combat against the forces of darkness, as we reported here in TGP in...

@JudiciaryDems Sen. DURBIN: Time and again, Pam Bondi and President Trump have lied to the American people. They are destroying Americans’ trust in our justice system.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, is calling on the Justice Department (DOJ) to charge former senior national health adviser Anthony Fauci with lying to Congress to test whether former President Biden’s pardon of Fauci will hold up in court. “I do believe Anthony Fauci committed a felony by lying to Congress,” Paul told pro-President Trump activist Charlie Kirk in an interview when asked whether Biden pardon’s signed by autopen would hold up in court. “You have to charge him with a felony, take him to court and then the court will decide whether or...

9 Likely Reasons the Epstein “Client List” Is Withheld 1. No Formal List Exists The term “client list” may be misleading. Names are likely scattered across flight logs, depositions, and evidence files, without a single official document labeled as such. 2. Avoiding Legal Risk Releasing names could trigger defamation lawsuits, privacy claims, or legal exposure for missteps in how the investigation has been handled. 3. Victim Protection Even with redactions, disclosing documents risks identifying survivors or retraumatizing those who testified under sensitive conditions. 4. Avoiding Exposure of Record Destruction Acknowledging that a list once existed but was destroyed under a...
