- IRANIAN HACKERS INFILTRATE NETANYAHU'SCHIEF OF STAFF'S PHONE AND DROP VIDEOS FROM IT. Iran's Hanẓala group just went from claiming they hacked Netanyahu's chief of staff's phone to proving it. They released a video. Russian ambassador to Israel. Private meeting. Quote: "Russia and Israel are friends." That's not the smoking gun. That's the opening shot. Here’s why this matters. Iran didn’t lead with the most damaging material. They led with something embarrassing but not catastrophic. The message is: "We have the phone. We have the files. This is what we're willing to show you first." Classic kompromat strategy. Release something that proves access, then hold the devastating stuff as leverage. What the Russian ambassador video reveals:
- NICK SHIRLEY'S FRAUD VIDEO HITS 75 MILLION VIEWS - FOX NEWS AIRS HIS FOOTAGE- THE INSTITUTIONAL MEDIA GATEKEEPERS JUST LOST. 75 million views. Still climbing by the hour. 400,000 likes. 150,000 reposts. Fox News running his footage on national television. Nick Shirley just proved the entire thesis: One guy with a camera documenting fraud beats every newsroom in America combined. Here's what just changed permanently:
- BREAKING - MINNESOTA SOMALI FRAUD PLOT DEEPENS: FAKE CHILDCARE CENTERS CAUGHT DONATING TO DEMOCRATS. Screenshots are blowing up showing Somali-run childcare centers in Minneapolis funneling donations to local Somali politicians right around the time massive fraud scandals hit the fan. We're talking places like Sunshine Childcare Center Inc, MN Best Childcare Center Inc, Adult Care LLC, and Lucky Child Care Center LLC dropping $1,000 checks in 2021, mixed in with individual donors. This is tied into the epic Feeding Our Future mess, where prosecutors say over $250M in federal COVID aid for kids' meals got siphoned off by Somali-linked nonprofits. Recent probes flag up to half of $18B in state programs potentially looted, including daycare scams where centers pocket millions with no kids in sight, exposing empty "daycares" in Minneapolis that scored up to $4M. Politicians like Ilhan Omar got hit with donations from fraud suspects back in '22, though she bounced the cash to food banks. (pic)

- Erika Kirk says that just weeks before Charlie Kirk’s assassination, donors (Israeli) raised concerns about what would happen to the future of Turning Point USA if something happened to him.

- Breaking: The CCP is destroying America from within—when will it end!? They don’t need to invade America. They’re already inside. For decades, the Chinese Communist Party has been executing a quiet, deliberate campaign of unrestricted warfare against the United States, not with bombs or bullets, but with land, money, and influence. Control the land and you pressure food supply and territorial security. Control the companies and you gain leverage over the economy. Control education and you shape the next generation of American leaders. Now it reaches directly into the minds of our children. This is a long-term strategy to weaken our nation from within while we argue and look away. The response must be clear, uncompromising, and it must happen NOW.
- @TheSCIF
- The "ADJUDICATION" process is just ONE way that the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election was STOLEN. DOMINION and SMARTMATIC voting machines, along with numerous other manufactures can be controlled remotely and the physical machines can be tampered with, along with the USB drives inside, in seconds. This isn't a "design flaw" in the machines and software, they were specifically engineered to steal elections. When you have an adjudication rate that is 750x more than the legally allowed limit, (usually 1 out of 125,000 ballots), those ballots all go into adjudication and no matter what the ballot says, even if it's BLANK, you can designate all of them to go to any candidate you want at the click of a button. Every swing state was greatly above the legal limit for adjudication. Remember, we're talking about millions of ballots out of the whole country in all 50 states, and Biden only "won" in most states by 7k-12k votes. Imagine the real numbers?

- Again… With all the fraud being exposed in Walz’s Minnesota… The only Dem to vote to stop healthcare for illegals in Minnesota. 1 of 67. Melissa Hortman. The deciding vote. Then killed. Almost like she knew what was coming. Hell of a coincidence… She was kiIIed shortly after casting this vote, and watching her reaction here is chilling. (video)
- @XFreeze
- You literally can’t find a single mainstream article about the Minnesota fraud... Not even one... How is it that a simple guy with a camera can uncover over $110,000,000 in fraud in a single day, but giant billion‑dollar media organizations behind the glass doors somehow “miss” it for years? It’s not that they couldn’t find it. It’s that they wouldn’t They are desperate to bury this, protect their ideological allies, and smear anyone who exposes how rotten the system is with “it’s not as bad as it looks” think‑pieces or by turning it into a race‑based narrative to shut people up. This is as clear as it gets in broad daylight The story isn’t just the fraud... The story is the massive cover‑up.... (pic)
- @lsferguson
- I knew the Senate would be a serious problem when they elected RINO John Thune as Majority Leader, RINO Mitch McConnell as chair of the Rules Committee and Susan Collins as chair of the Appropriations Committee. This was a massive "Fuck You" to the voters that gave them the majority. This is the fault of not only these three, but all the Republican Senators who elected them to "Leadership".

- @RenzTom
- Let’s be clear: the real reason we'll never see election reform is that some RINOs benefit from this corruption. It’s not just Dems that steal elections—RINOs do too, especially in primaries. That’s the dirty secret no one will tell you.
- @Peoples_Pundit
- Trump was never more popular with under 40 voters than before stupid people misdirected him from DOGE to Iran. That's why they are forever losers and saboteurs. If they would have stayed the course with @elonmusk they would be 4 points ahead now.
- @amuse
- LAWFARE: Soros-backed NGO is teaching DC residents how to sneak onto juries and rig trials against President Trump and his administration. A newly formed Washington DC group called Free DC, tied to Community Change & Community Change Action, is training residents to act as “skeptical jurors” in federal cases involving President Trump. Co-founder Alex Dodds said jurors have “enormous power” to judge the administration itself. Critics report the sessions encourage rigging trials against the administration, conduct plainly barred under 8 USC §1503.
- @DataRepublican
- Told you so. NGOs are making primaries a top target now. The reasoning goes: gerrymandering means 90%+ of seats are "safe." Thus, don't fight over the 10% -- which tends to be high cost battles. It's much more efficient to simply take over the other 90%. It's logical. It's diabolical. And it's going to work until we understand that primaries will be more important than generals from here out on.
- @ScottPresler
- Senator Al Franken (D-MN) was “elected” by 312 votes in 2008. Franken was the 60th vote in the Senate that cemented ObamaCare into law. Minnesota allows for vouching, whereby 1 voter can sign an oath that up to 8 voters live within that precinct. 542,257 MN voters registered to vote on Election Day in 2008. This post won’t get a Community Note because everything that I’ve written is true.

- Justice Denied. A ticking clock hides in plain sight—one that could forever bury the darkest secrets of Jan 6th. Midnight approaches on the five-year statute of limitations and . @AGPamBondi’s “kick the can” system is working perfectly— for the deep state. The statutes of limitations on the J6 hoaxers—who orchestrated the fed-surrection trap—expire in just 11 days. Is this delay a ploy to let the real plotters vanish into the night? We may never know, the truth is slipping away... unless we demand indictments NOW.(video)
- @Highway_30
- I am not suicidal. I'm not on the Epstein list. I don't take money from AIPAC. I don't take money from CAIR. The Democrat establishment runs from me. The Republican establishment works against me. The media knows I know and I know how to tell the people. I don't pander, I don't pretend, I don't play games. I fear God, I love Christ and I speak the truth. Now watch as they try to assassinate my character for the next 12 months, if they don't try to assassinate me literally. Their time is up and our time is now. The America 1st movement isn't an opportune slogan, it's a renaissance of straight up dawgs. Patriots, intellectual yet common sense, mixed with integrity and grit. Resolve... we don't quit we don't take a knee. Come get some you globalist, communists, scumbags! Royce White for U.S. Senate MN 2026 America 1st, Just Right. (video)

- So here me out. Remember when one day after Brian Kemp called for a signature audit in Georgia, his daughter’s boyfriend and a staffer to Senate runoff candidate Kelly Loeffler was killed in a fiery car crash. (Looked like a bomb went off. Watch the video) Harrison Deal was his name. He was creating a name in the political world for himself. I'm not excusing Brian Kemp, but I think that's a huge coincidence that his daughter's boyfriend is killed, and then the audit didn't happen. Don't ya think? I'm just asking questions, guys....

- @JovanHPulitzer
- During the 2020 Election in Michigan, a Secretary of State official told volunteers to count "multiple ballots with the very same signature" during audit of votes in Antrim county. She told the very worried poll workers that the audit was not the time for them to investigate! Keep this. This is the ORIGINAL CLUE. They were told "just count the oval" and nothing else, - they had to ignore no folds, same sigs and more, just "count the oval". This is why they said ALL VOTES MUST COUNT and that is totally differen than COUNT ALL LEGAL VOTES. SAVE THIS VIDEO. (video)
