“If the guys around Hegseth, if there’s indictments or investigations going on and there’s no indictments—there’s no release of the Epstein files and there’s no investigation of Brennan and the 51,” “And you’re not spending your time on that and it somehow gets diverted over to this, it is going to be a FIRESTORM from the MAGA base.” “I think people are fed up with it. I think Tom Fitton gives a lot of the frustration that in the first 100 days we’ve seen nothing out of that crowd. ZERO.” “With all the hard work that went in to get...

Kash Patel in words and actions 2025, "98% of FBI agents are courageous apolitical warriors for justice."

From Grok: - Research suggests Colonel Sheyla Baez was suspended as Fort McCoy Commander, but not for refusing to display photos, as claimed. - The U.S. Army states the photo incident was vandalism, not her decision, adding complexity to the situation. - Official statements confirm the suspension is not related to misconduct, leaving the exact reason unclear. Background Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez has been a notable figure as the first Hispanic female Garrison Commander at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, taking command in July 2024. Recently, there has been controversy surrounding photos of President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Secretary of Defense...

Their big news “hook” is that after a solid few rounds of grappling, I injured my shoulder. Because it’s Adam Goldman, you can generally assume he’s wrong, and he is, again. The instructor I was grappling with got the best of me, because he’s incredibly talented. That’s why he’s there. And it was my not an “injury” but a bit of swelling in my right elbow, not shoulder, because I’m 50 years old and I can’t recover like I used to. But I felt it was important to get on the mats any way, because that’s what men do. But...

Pam Bondi’s ability to manage the Department of Justice has come under increased scrutiny from the right. File releases are delayed or mismanaged. No apparent action is taken against subversive government officials. And J6ers and other victims of a weaponized DoJ remain unsatisfied. Many have raised the question of whether Pam Bondi was the right choice for MAGA attorney general. Many more, including President Trump, would be questioning her bona fides if they knew about Bondi’s role in the creation of Black Lives Matter. How Trump handles the DoJ will be crucial to the success of his second term. His...

Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for records regarding Jeffrey Epstein, including any records on the identities of clients or associates of Epstein (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:25-cv-01056)). Judicial Watch sued the Justice Department after it failed to adequately respond to four separate FOIA requests for records concerning Jeffrey Epstein, including a specific request for records “depicting the identities of clients or associates of Jeffrey Epstein.” Epstein document requests were sent to the Justice Department’s Office of Information Policy,...

This means Jensen is directly responsible for indicting me on 30 years of federal charges for peacefully exercising First Amendment rights. Jensen stole 4 years of my life! “Mr. Jensen. So, like I said, the clear, bright line agreed upon between myself, the FBI, and DOJ was individuals or their devices identified inside of the Capitol was action to field offices for further investigation. Mr. Gaetz. Who developed that bright line? Who were the people involved in the discussion to set that as the bright line? Mr. Jensen. So that would've been myself”

If not bad enough, Nikki L. Floris (Intelligence Analyst in Charge) was directly involved in the 2020 Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation psyop. In August 2020, FBI agents Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides delivered a controversial "defensive" briefing to Senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley, which the senators claimed undermined their Hunter Biden investigation by suggesting it was tied to Russian disinformation. This briefing, held on August 6, 2020, was followed by a leak to the Washington Post, complicating their efforts to subpoena witnesses and gain support from hesitant Republican colleagues. In response, the senators demanded transcribed interviews with Floris...

During J6, as the FBI's Domestic Terrorism Section Chief, Jensen ran daily nationwide J6 calls, saying: "I don't give a blank, they're ***damn terrorists and we're gonna round them all up." Jensen also led the monitoring of School Board Meetings to identify parents as potential terror threats.

From Grok: April 5, 2025 - Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed escalating tensions with the United States on Saturday, criticizing what he described as a contradictory approach from Washington. Speaking to reporters during a press conference, Pezeshkian said "If you want negotiations, what's the point of threatening?" he asked, pointedly questioning the logic of combining diplomatic overtures with aggressive rhetoric. The statement comes amid renewed speculation about potential talks between Iran and the U.S., particularly following comments from the Trump administratio suggesting both a willingness to engage and a readiness to impose further sanctions or military pressure over Iran's nuclear...

Democrat Senator Adam Schiff (CA), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced he is placing a hold on President Trump’s nominee for US Attorney in DC, Ed Martin. Ed Martin is currently the Acting US Attorney for DC and Trump recently announced he nominated him for a permanent position as one of the country’s top cops. Schiff said he is holding up Ed Martin’s nomination because he has “abused the power of the US Attorney’s office in DC” and used his office as a “cudgel to chill dissent…” In a statement released on Tuesday, Adam Schiff vowed to use...

Politico take U.S. District Judge James Boasberg — the object of President Donald Trump’s fury for blocking his effort to summarily deport Venezuelan nationals using wartime powers — just got a second crack at the administration’s handling of national security: Signalgate. Boasberg on Wednesday morning was assigned to preside over a lawsuit alleging that Trump cabinet secretaries and national security aides violated federal record-keeping laws when they used a Signal chat group to discuss a planned military strike in Yemen — and inadvertently included an Atlantic journalist in the group.

Adam Schiff is INCREDIBLY terrified right now. Obama spied on Trump’s campaign, and now it’s ALL about to be exposed!

The IRGC’s new missile bases on key islands near the Strait of Hormuz give Tehran the power to lock down a critical maritime chokepoint—and challenge US military primacy. Strategic Islands Armed The IRGC has deployed air & coastal missile systems on Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, & Abu Musa—3 critical islands west of the Hormuz Strait, gateway for 20% of the world’s energy trade. 600 km Strike Zone IRGC Navy commander Alireza Tangsiri says Iran can now strike “enemy bases, vessels, and assets” within 600 km—covering much of the Persian Gulf & beyond.

amid reports suggesting these carriers, namely USS Carl Vinson, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, and USS Abraham Lincoln, might be heading towards Iran. This movement is part of broader strategic military positioning in the region, possibly in response to heightened tensions involving Iran and its allies, like the Houthis in Yemen. No official statement has confirmed Iran as the specific target, but the deployment signals an increase in military readiness.

“He picked up a piece of paper and said, I just got this down from upstairs, meaning the Secretary of Defense. He said this is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years starting with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off with Iran.”

During an appearance in Kazakhstan today, Russian President Vladimir Putin had a press conference with Russian journalists who asked questions about the current conflict with Ukraine. Before getting to the video, it is worth mentioning that our western viewpoint of Russia respecting strength; is not entirely accurate. There is something Russians respect more than strength, brutal honesty. One of the things that separates Russians from their eastern European counterparts, is their keen ability to detect and dismiss bullshit. If you watch Russian engagement, from either inside or outside of Russia, their non pretending is truly an artform. Even the silent...

So far, almost nobody in the west fully comprehends the Oreshnik weapon system just demonstrated by Russia. Hat tip to Ted Postol, Scott Ritter and Brian Berletic, the only 3 people I've found so far who fully understand this. I've done the math on the kinetic energy of the submunitions (using estimates for mass), and I've studied up on what's publicly known about these weapons so far. My conclusion? NATO is done. The west has no idea what just hit them. Russia's Oreshnik weapon system is checkmate for NATO and the USA. All U.S. aircraft carriers can be destroyed in...
