The material suggests that Gaetz’s father was told his son’s legal problems could go away if he gave $25 million to help secure the release of Iranian hostage Bob Levinson. --- The scandal swirling around Rep. Matt Gaetz took a stunning turn Wednesday with the news that a former Air Force intelligence official and a Florida lawyer tried to get the congressman’s dad to cough up $25 million that would be used to free American Bob Levinson from Iranian custody—and somehow release Gaetz from a federal sex-crimes investigation. And if that wasn’t enough, here’s one more strange fact: Levinson was...

Three of the top cybersecurity officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation are retiring from government service, according to people familiar with the matter—departures that come as cyberattacks are a major concern for the country’s security agencies. Senior U.S. intelligence officials warn that the country is at a “critical point” facing unprecedented cyberthreats, including Russia’s ongoing attacks on the American political system. The retirements also come as the FBI is facing regular criticism from President Donald Trump and his supporters, and is working to attract and retain top cyber talent.

As the families of U.S. hostages currently held in Iran have struggled for years to rally the determination to bring their loved ones home, newly released emails from the former secretary of State reveal the infuriating truth that those with connections get their case raised to the top. In 2009, Iason Athanasiadis was covering the protests of the disputed election win of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over Mir-Hossein Mousavi for the Washington Times. The Greek citizen was detained by Iranian authorities on June 17, 2009, as he tried to fly out of the country. Athanasiadis was thrown in Evin prison and released...

Missing a Father in Iran Daniel Levinson June 22, 2008 It has been 471 days since my father, Robert "Bob" Levinson, went missing in Iran -- more than the 444 days that 52 American diplomats were held hostage after they were seized in Iran in 1979. These past 15 months have brought my mother, four sisters, two brothers and me nothing but grief and sadness. We are no closer to finding answers than we were when our father disappeared March 9, 2007, on Kish Island, Iran. He was on a private business trip, and I emphasize "private" because, although he...

Reams have been written about the latest revelations in the Russian collusion hoax that so hamstrung President Trump’s first term. I will summarize below the most important revelations. It’s clear the Administration is taking its time to reveal the investigation’s conclusions for maximum impact -- an impact that I, like Scott Adams, believe will result in arrests of a number of people who pulled off this fraud. But first I want to discuss something which has not received the kind of attention it deserves -- the death of the legal consequences for disparate outcomes and credentialism. The Death of Disparate...

Scott Adams, the influential author, cartoonist, and pundit, revealed Monday that he is suffering from metastasized prostate cancer — the same diagnosis President Joe Biden reported the day before. “I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has,” Adams said. “I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones.” “My life expectancy is maybe this summer,” he said.

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec SCOTT ADAMS: When Raskin's union workers attacked Jack Posobiec, they didn't even attempt to talk. They went straight to violence. You don't see Republicans doing that, only Democrats. From Human Events Daily 3:44 PM · May 1, 202

This week, Trump attended the National Association of Black Journalists conference, an event that Kamala Harris skipped. Democrats and the media have worked very hard to try to make Trump’s appearance controversial, rather than giving him credit for going. Dilbert creator Scott Adams, who was an early Trump supporter and is an expert in persuasion, thought Trump’s performance at the event was perfect. From Twitter/X: “Oh my God it was perfect. It was good as the Rosie O’Donnell. In my mind this was as good as the Rosie O’Donnell play. Did he look nervous? Nope. Did he look completely comfortable...

Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays Whoever came up with "Didn't Earn It" as the description of DEI might have saved the world. Normally, the clever alternative names people use to mock the other side's policy are nothing but grin-worthy. This one could collapse the whole racist system. It's that strong. 3:26 PM · Mar 21, 2024 2.1M Views

(DiscernTV)—Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is a plague in American culture. It rewards mediocrity, stifles success, and generates rewards for those who did nothing to deserve them other than claiming an odd pronoun or having the right skin color. On some of our publications, we refuse to use the acronym, opting to switch the letters around to make it represent its real purpose in America: DIE. This article is the exception to that rule thanks to Dilbert creator Scott Adams. He didn’t come up with the new meaning of the acronym, but he’s spreading it to a wide audience of...

Ever felt like the more you understand about how things work, the more insane it all seems? Scott Adams recently touched on this, highlighting how the system protects itself by being so outrageously flawed that those who start to see through it are often labeled as crazy. It’s like stepping into a “crazy zone” where you realize that what you once thought was reality might just be a facade.

This news is totally insane

Despite the clear transcript and video evidence exonerating Trump for the hoax surrounding Charlottesville, millions of Americans still believe that the 45th President was an open, brazen racist.“Hard to Kill” is a Steven Seagal action thriller from 1990 that garnered scornful reviews, though I loved it as a then-teenager. But that phrase, hard to kill, also aptly describes the “Very Fine People” hoax surrounding Charlottesville and the lingering myth that President Trump praised bigots there.In recent days, liberal social media rabble-rouser actor Michael Rapaport stated on the Patrick Bet-David podcast that “the Charlottesville, that I ranted about, I was wrong…...
