- CIA whistleblower claims the agency “took back 40 boxes of JFK and MK-Ultra files” that Tulsi Gabbard was reviewing for declassification. The whistleblower also alleges the CIA “illegally monitored the computer and phone usage” of Gabbard’s investigators during the probe into the COVID-19 origins cover-up. “These were Americans being spied on illegally while carrying out duties directed by the President and under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence.” (video)

"She's a messaging Goddess. She's smart. Don't underestimate her" "She's well versed, she gets the game and she does it for all the right reasons. She's got a wonderful husband, a beautiful little baby boy, Henry, and that's what she does it for. She does future this country." "But the charlatans that we've kind of, in the past will we'll put somebody in, and then we'll put a good one in, and then then a not so good one in. We need to let represent this group or that group, or whatever, this thought process, you know, that gets us smoked every dadgum time. But she's great. I would love it." (video)

- DEEP STATE DEEP FREEZE: Biden FBI’s ‘Arctic Frost’ Memos Reveal They Didn’t Drop the Case Against Trump — They Cryogenically Preserved It Until 2030 to Strike the Moment He Leaves Office, Assuring President Trump Dies in Prison! Scholars of the Republic have seen this playbook before—from the Star Chamber to the Soviet show trials—but never in the land of the free. In the final weeks of the Biden administration, the FBI’s CR-15 squad and Jack Smith’s own deputy special counsel didn’t shutter their politically charged “Arctic Frost” probe into the 2020 election. They did something far more sinister: they closed the file on paper… while secretly placing every shred of evidence—search warrants, covert recordings, grand-jury transcripts, discovery materials—under a litigation hold until at least February 1, 2030. That’s over a year after President Trump’s second term ends.

- The CIA has 24 hours to return the documents to Tulsi Gabbard’s office or else I will make a motion to issue a subpoena. These documents have been requested by Congress.

- Professor Gad Saad: ‘Say Goodbye To America, it’s all Over’. Gad Saad says America will fall to Islam, and we will allow it to happen. He categorizes it as a “Stage 4 cancer”. “We are approaching stage 4, but there is a cure. Here's where I get pessimistic. The problem is that there is no indication that the West has the stomach and the testicular fortitude to actually implement what is easily available.

- Senator John Fetterman just confirmed what everyone suspected. Obama has been showing up on Capitol Hill WEEKLY issuing marching orders to Democrats in both chambers. Fetterman said: "I don't know who he thinks elected him to do that — but it wasn't the people I serve." If that's true, Obama is running an active shadow government to undermine Trump and we the people.
