x02a1 Global Outlook

The war plan by the U.S. and Israel to annihilate Iran’s effective military power seems to be ahead of schedule, with the navy already largely destroyed and its missile capacity reduced by more than 80%. The plan is going so well, talk of the regime’s replacements have already gotten serious.

President Donald Trump has signaled that any peace with Iran will have to include the President being able to approve of the leader the next regime selects to lead it. President Trump told the press, “They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a lightweight. I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy [Rodriguez] in Venezuela. Khamenei’s son is unacceptable to me. We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to IranMost of the people we had in mind are dead.”

BREAKING: Trump says he has ‘to be involved in the appointment’ of Iran’s next leader – The Post Millennial

“I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy [Rodriguez] in Venezuela.”

President Donald Trump has said that he must be involved in the selection of the next leader in Iran after the US and Israel launched an Operation Epic Fury. That conflict has gone on since Saturday and has already wiped out much of Iran’s leadership.

Should the Trump administration lose in the courts and be forced to refund “American” businesses, they are committed to pay interest on the refunds, they informed the courts. Judges have already signaled a willingness to fast-track the process, as we predicted would happen in our report on the Tariff ruling on page 2. In addition to the refunds for U.S. companies, foreign companies are also lining up for their cut of the SCOTUS plunder. Estimates top out at $170 as far as revenues collected through the tariffs so far.

Trump Administration Says It Will Pay Interest on Tariff Refunds – dailysignal.com

The Trump administration will pay interest on refunds for global tariffs if ordered to do so, according to a court filing on Wednesday.

U.S. officials have not committed to full refunds on the money collected from tariffs, as President Donald Trump has said he would find other laws to continue his tariffs. However, litigation and negotiations are continuing on multiple fronts.

This comes less than two weeks after the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump could not use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a national emergency law, to impose tariffs.

Brandon Lord, executive director of the trade programs at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, wrote in the filing with the U.S. Court of International Trade, “In accordance with applicable law, any validated refund of IEEPA duties would include interest.”

Since Trump imposed the tariffs in a “liberation day” announcement, the U.S. government has collected about $170 billion in tariffs, according to Bloomberg News.

The Texas Senate Primary races were the main feature of Tuesday’s midterm primaries, which were also held in Arkansas, North Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi. In Texas, DNC race hustler Jasmine Crocket lost to James Talarico, a far-left “Christian” who claims God is non-binary and ok with abortions.

In the GOP race, Senator John Cornyn failed to get a majority vote, so a run-off race between himself and his closest challenger, Attorney General Ken Paxton, will happen in May. Paxton has offered to drop out of the race if Cornyn commits to passing the SAVE Act, even if it means voting to change the filibuster rule to require it to be verbal, not merely procedural.

Cornyn, Paxton Advance to Runoff in Texas Republican Primary – breitbart.com

Incumbent Sen. John Cornyn overperformed most expectations Tuesday in his fight for a fifth term, advancing to a runoff in the Texas Senate Republican primary against Attorney General Ken Paxton.

The race was called by the Associated Press (AP) at 10:50 am ET. With an estimated 65.8 percent of the vote in, Cornyn led with 658,274 votes, 42.5 percent, to Paxton’s 632,472 votes, 40.8 percent.

Rep. Wesley Hunt finished a distant third with around 13 percent of the projected vote and will be out of office upon the completion of his current House term.

The Washington Republican establishment, led by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the campaign arm of Senate Republicans, pulled out all the stops to support Cornyn, making the race the most expensive Senate primary in history. Cornyn and his allies spent tens of millions to boost Cornyn and attack Paxton and Hunt.

In an exchange with U.S. House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH), Governor Tim Walz (D-MIN) was caught lying about a claim he restarted the fraudulent “Feeding our Future” charity because a judge ordered him to. When confronted with the Judge’s statement refuting the claim, Walz changed his testimony, claiming he merely took the advice of his counsel, who told him the Judge ordered the funding to restart.

The key exchange came when Jordan asked if the Judge was lying, or his counsel was lying. To that question, he responded, “I can’t tell you!” Pressed further, he claimed, “I just know what the attorneys said.”

Tim Walz Caught in Major Lie During House Grilling on Minnesota Fraud Scandal –  slaynews.com

Democrat Gov. Tim Walz faced an intense grilling on Capitol Hill as House Republicans pressed him over Minnesota’s massive fraud scandal, focusing on a key controversy involving the state’s handling of payments to Feeding Our Future.

The confrontation unfolded during a House Oversight Committee hearing examining alleged fraud and misuse of federal funds tied to pandemic-era relief programs.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) opened the hearing by accusing Minnesota officials of overseeing a sweeping collapse in oversight.

He said whistleblowers raised concerns for years while taxpayer funds continued flowing out the door and into the pockets of Somali fraudsters.

Comer also cited estimates from federal prosecutors that up to $9 billion may have been stolen from 14 Medicaid programs in Minnesota, according to the committee’s interim findings.

He argued the situation represented “one of the most extensive breakdowns of oversight this Committee has ever examined.”

Jordan Presses Walz Over Feeding Our Future Payments

The hearing’s most intense exchange came when House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) questioned Walz about the state’s decision to restart payments to Feeding Our Future, a nonprofit at the center of what federal prosecutors say became a roughly $250 million pandemic fraud scheme.

Jordan pressed Walz over why the payments resumed after concerns about fraud had already been raised, and why the governor publicly suggested the state was compelled to restart payments because of a court ruling.

That claim has previously been confirmed to be false by the judge involved in the case.

According to a public statement from Minnesota Judge John Guthmann, the court never ordered the state to restart the payments.

“Judge John Guthmann never ordered the Department of Education to resume payments to FOF in April 2021, or at any other time,” the court said.

The statement added that the state agency “voluntarily resumed making payments” and that reimbursements were issued “without any court order.”

The court further explained that the clarification was released because of what it described as “inaccurate statements by the Governor” and others regarding the situation.

Walz Points to Legal Advice

During the hearing, Walz maintained that state officials believed their actions were required based on legal advice provided by agency lawyers.

However, Republicans argued that the explanation does not address why the public was told a judge forced the payments to resume.

They said the court’s statement contradicts the governor’s earlier explanation.

The dispute has become a central political vulnerability for Walz as the Feeding Our Future investigation continues to expand.

Jordan grilled Walz over the claims and accused the Democrat governor of “lying.”

“Why didn’t you tell the truth about why you restarted the payments?” Jordan asked Walz.

Walz responded: “The agency believed the court required them to make those payments.”

Jordan fired back: “But that was false..

“The court says the judge never ordered you to resume Feeding Our Future payments…

“So the court’s lying?!”

“I can’t tell you!” Walz insisted.

“Somebody’s lying!” Jordan raged.

“Either you’re lying, or the court’s lying. Which one?!”

“I just know what the attorneys said,” Walz claimed.

Jordan replied: “Could it be you’re trying to hide behind the court?

“Is it all about politics?!”

WATCH:

Growing Scrutiny Over Minnesota Fraud

The scandal has drawn national attention after federal prosecutors alleged that pandemic food aid programs were exploited on a massive scale.

In earlier hearings, witnesses testified that warnings about potential fraud were documented and raised repeatedly before the scheme was uncovered.

This week’s hearing escalated scrutiny by putting Walz and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison under oath as Republicans attempted to link the fraud directly to failures within state leadership.

For Walz, the controversy is not only about the fraud itself but also about how his administration explained its decisions once the scandal became public.

Republicans say the court’s statement rejecting the governor’s earlier claim that payments were ordered by a judge has become one of the most politically damaging elements of the entire episode.

Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano chose to release an illegal immigrant, Abdul Jalloh, despite being warned directly that if he did so, someone WOULD be killed. Jalloh then allegedly murdered Stephanie Minter at a bus stop, stabbing her to death, a murder the police directly warned Descano would happen if he let him go. Independent Virginia reporter Nick Monock obtained an email copy of the letter the police sent to Descano.

Monock offered this commentary in response to the email, “… the police were warning the prosecutor’s office that if this guy was released back into the community again something like this could happen. The murder of Stephanie Minter. And it did. Mr. Jalloh has more than 40 past charges, and almost every case, Descano’s office dropped those charges and released this illegal immigrant, violent offender, back into the community. And they had a warning from the police department.

Earlier this week, we told you about Abdul Jalloh, the illegal immigrant with over 40 violent priors who (allegedly) murdered Stephanie Minter at a bus stop. And about the “moderate” Democrat governor whose first order of business this year was to run Virginia into a Sanctuary STATE. And about how they wouldn’t give ICE a heads up before releasing this guy without a judicial warrant, which ICE can’t get because it’s not a federal crime. Today, we’re here to tell you that the story has managed to get worse.

Police warned Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office last November that if they released Abdul Jalloh AGAIN, something like him murdering Stephanie Minter…

…could very well happen. They released Abdul anyway. And what the police warned would happen if you released someone with over 40 violent priors back into the public tragically happened.

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that higher courts must stop ruling on immigration cases that have been adjudicated by Immigration Judges in asylum cases. Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote the ruling, stating, “the agency’s determination whether a given set of undisputed facts rises to the level of persecution under §1101(a)(42)(A) is generally ‘conclusive unless any reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the contrary.’”

The ruling puts a significant limit on district courts, especially, which have been interfering with an inordinate number of asylum cases. Many of these judges are from the batch of judges the GOP lazily allowed to be approved during the last weeks of the Biden administration.

SCOTUS unanimously rules courts MUST defer to immigration judges in asylum cases – The Post Millennial

The court was unanimous in its ruling.

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Wednesday that federal appeals courts must defer to immigration judges when reviewing asylum decisions. The case centered around asylum claims made by Salvadoran national Douglas Humberto Urias-Orellana and his family, with Urias-Orellana arguing that a hitman had been targeting him in his home country.

The court’s ruling, written by Biden-appointed Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, stated that immigration laws require federal courts to use a “substantial-evidence standard” when reviewing immigration judges’ decisions regarding whether an asylum seeker would face “persecution” if deported from the country.

Jackson noted that courts must meet a high bar before overturning an immigration judge’s findings. “the agency’s determination whether a given set of undisputed facts rises to the level of persecution under §1101(a)(42)(A) is generally ‘conclusive unless any reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the contrary.’”

Paramount has been announced as the new future owner of Warner Brothers Discovery. The company’s CEO is a Trump supporter, which makes the staff of CNN very nervous since Warner Brothers Discovery also owns CNN. Netflix was positioned to purchase the property, but public statements by one of their board of directors may have blown the deal for them.

Susan Rice, a long-time Obama-Biden cabinet member, warned corporations that are willing to take a knee to Trump can expect criminal prosecutions when her party returns to power. Calls for Netflix to nix the political terrorist have fallen on deaf ears, leading to a growing movement to boycott Netflix. President Trump amplified the message, posting “Netflix should fire racist, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences.”

Former Obama-Biden official Susan Rice’s recent comments targeting companies working with President Donald Trump are being blamed for the failure of Netflix’s attempt to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.

Rice, who now serves on Netflix’s board of directors, drew scrutiny after issuing a warning to corporations she accused of “taking a knee” to Trump.

Speaking on the Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara podcast last week, Rice said media companies, Big Tech firms, universities, and other institutions that align with Trump would face consequences if Democrats regain power.

“I think they’ve got another thing coming,” Rice said.

President Trump responded directly, posting:

“Netflix should fire racist, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences.”

ALI REACTS: Austin Bar Shooting Leaves 3 Dead, 17 Wounded — Gunman Killed by Police – wltreport.com

The city of Austin, Texas, was on edge in the early hours of Saturday morning.

A gunman opened fire inside a bar in Austin, Texas, resulting in 3 people dead and leaving 17 others wounded.

The suspect in the shooting is still at large, and a motive for the shooting is still being investigated.

CBS reported more on the horrific, deadly shooting and provided a more in depth report:

Gunfire rang out at a bar in Austin, Texas early Sunday and at least three people were killed, the city’s police chief said. Lisa Davis told reporters the shooter was killed by officers at the scene.

Fourteen others were hospitalized and three were in critical condition, Austin-Travis County EMS Chief Robert Luckritz said.

He said paramedics got the call at 1:59 a.m. and first responders were on-scene in less than a minute.

There was no initial word on the shooter’s identity or motive.

Davis noted how fortunate it was that there was a heavy police presence in Austin’s entertainment district at the time, enabling officers to respond quickly as bars were closing.

“Officers immediately transitioned … and were faced with the individual with a gun,” Davis said. “Three of our officers returned fire, killing the suspect.”

She called the shooting a “tragic, tragic” incident.

Whatever the DOJ has on hand that it is calling the Epstein Files, it is hardly as much as what it could have been. According to a just-now exposed testimony by FBI Agent Aaron Spivack, a hack into their NY Field Office during the 2023 Superbowl led to the FBI losing access to more than 500 terabytes of data. 100 Terabytes would turn out to be lost for good.

FBI Computer System Hacked, Millions of Epstein Files Wiped – slaynews.com

A sworn declaration buried in the Trump administration’s recent release of millions of “Epstein Files” documents reveals that an FBI computer system hack resulted in the destruction of roughly 100 terabytes of Jeffrey Epstein-related data.

The September 2024 declaration from FBI agent Aaron Spivack states that a massive breach of the FBI’s New York Field Office (NYFO) systems on Super Bowl Sunday in 2023 led to the Bureau losing access to approximately 500 terabytes of data.

100 terabytes of this data could not be recovered and was permanently erased.

The document had reportedly received little public attention until it was highlighted by independent journalists.

“500 Terabytes of Data Was Gone”

Spivack worked for more than a decade in the FBI’s Domestic Terrorism and Child Exploitation squads, including the Violent Crimes Against Children (VCAC) unit.

He described discovering the intrusion the day after it occurred.

According to his sworn testimony, when he logged into his work computer, he “noticed it had been restarted” and saw a text file indicating part of his network had been compromised, along with an email address to contact.

After running antivirus software, Spivack learned it “identified one potential threat,” but his administrative privileges had already been removed.

He was later told the threat may have been a “booby-trap” left by a hacker.

President Trump’s second SOTU of his second presidency was filled with DNC theatrics and a lot of awkward sitting. The President outlined his list of accomplishments, which were heavy on economics, and warned U.S. companies and other countries about reneging on their tariff deals, saying they will keep those deals, “Knowing that the legal power that I as president have to make a new deal could be far worse for them.” He also made his case for potentially attacking Iran, but expressed a preference for “diplomacy.”

The key part of the President’s speech was the Democrats not standing up, repeatedly, for Americans. They sat for the men’s U.S. Olympic Gold Hockey team, they sat for more heroes, and they even sat for the mother of a woman slain by an illegal immigrant.  The culmination of them not standing came after Trump said this, “If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”

After the Democrats refused to stand, he stated, “You should be ashamed of yourselves for not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourselves.” At one point he called them “sick people.” It will remain to be seen if the moniker sticks.

Trump Lays Out Case for Possible Attack on Iran in SOTU – dailysignal.com

WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) — U.S. President Donald Trump briefly laid out his case for a possible attack on Iran in his State of the Union speech to Congress on Tuesday, saying he would not allow the world’s biggest sponsor of terrorism to have a nuclear weapon.

In his speech, Trump pointed to Tehran’s support for militant groups, its killing of protesters and the country’s missile and nuclear programs as threats to the region and the United States.

“The (Iranian) regime and its murderous proxies have spread nothing but terrorism and death and hate,” the Republican president said about 90 minutes into his annual address to a joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives.

He accused Iran of restarting its nuclear program, working to build missiles that “soon” would be capable of reaching the United States and of being responsible for roadside bombings that have killed U.S. service members and civilians.

On Sunday, February 22, 2026, a raid led by the Mexican army and supported by U.S. assets successfully eliminated the top cartel leader in the region, “El Mencho,” or Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes. He was the general of Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). He was killed in the town of Tapalpa, Jalisco.

Since his death, his well-armed and well-equipped militia has responded by launching terror attacks on multiple cities throughout Mexico, leaving foreigners, including Americans, stranded. Road blocks were set up by the cartels where they took cars. 25 Mexican National Guardsmen have been killed in coordinated attacks, with the total estimated deaths so far placed at 60. The Mexican President, Caludia Sheinbaum, claims they’ve stopped the road blocks, but video footage continues to come out suggesting otherwise. The situation is still fluid in Mexico.

Fulton County DA Fani Willi’s deputy, F. Donald Wakeford, was caught in an email colluding with the Biden administration. The exchange was between Wakeford and Biden’s special council, Richard Sauber. They were exchanging notes on how to best use lawfare to assault their shared enemy, Donald Trump.

In September 2022, Sauber’s communicated to Wakeford, “These events threatened not only the safety of Congress and others present at the Capitol, but also the principles of democracy enshrined in our history and our Constitution. In light of these unique circumstances, President Biden has determined, as he did with respect to the Congressional investigation of these events, that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the public interest with respect to efforts to thwart the orderly transition of power under our Constitution.

Bombshell ‘Fani Files’ Reveal Fulton County DA’s Stunning Coordination With Biden Admin, J6 Dems – trendingpoliticsnews.com

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis worked closely with the Biden White House, the Justice Department and Democrats on the House Jan. 6 committee as she built her now-collapsed racketeering case against President Donald Trump, according to internal communications obtained by Just the News.

The records, released after a legal fight under Georgia’s Open Records Law, show coordination that went well beyond routine contact between agencies. They also reveal that President Joe Biden’s White House took the unusual step of clearing the path for Willis’ prosecutors to question former Trump officials by waiving executive privilege.

In a September 2022 letter to Willis’ deputy, F. Donald Wakeford, Biden’s special counsel, Richard Sauber, said the administration would not assert executive privilege over testimony related to Jan. 6 or efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.

“These events threatened not only the safety of Congress and others present at the Capitol, but also the principles of democracy enshrined in our history and our Constitution,” Sauber wrote.

“In light of these unique circumstances, President Biden has determined, as he did with respect to the Congressional investigation of these events, that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the public interest with respect to efforts to thwart the orderly transition of power under our Constitution,” he added.

The waiver applied to discussions inside the Trump White House around Jan. 6, Justice Department reviews of alleged election fraud and any effort to “alter valid 2020 election results or obstruct the transfer of power,” the letter stated.

The documents also show Fulton County prosecutors reaching out to federal officials through formal “Touhy requests” to secure testimony from former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, former Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue and former Assistant Attorney General Steven Engel.

In one March 2022 email, Wakeford told an assistant U.S. attorney that his office anticipated additional requests and wanted to coordinate the process. By May, the Justice Department responded that some of the information sought was already public because Rosen, Donoghue and Engel had testified before Congress. As a “courtesy,” the department attached congressional transcripts to assist the Georgia investigation.

RELATED: NEW: Trump Turns The Tables On Fani Willis With Devastating Legal Move

At the same time, Willis’ office was communicating directly with Democrats on the Jan. 6 Select Committee. In one message to Chairman Bennie Thompson’s team, prosecutors wrote that they were “currently engaged in an ongoing investigation” and requested a meeting. Committee staff later offered to provide “an oral summary of what certain witnesses have told the committee in interviews and depositions” and to share documents in Washington.

In December 2022, Wakeford wrote to Tim Heaphy, the committee’s chief investigative counsel, praising its work.

“Our initial review of the report confirms you all have accomplished amazing things in the past year,” Wakeford wrote.

The records were obtained after Just the News and America First Legal sued Willis’ office. Initially, Willis sought to withhold many of the communications under claims of privilege. This week, her office dropped those claims and released the documents without redactions.

RELATED: BREAKING: Trump Vindicated As Fani Willis’ Case Against Him Is Tossed Out By New Prosecutor

“These documents reveal that the Biden Administration and the January 6 Committee were much more involved in District Attorney Fani Willis’s prosecution of President Trump than was previously believed. AFL was happy to represent Just the News to get Americans this new information,” said Will Scolinos, an attorney at America First Legal.

Willis indicted Trump and 18 others in August 2023, accusing them of conspiring to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results. The case was later derailed. A Georgia appeals court found that Willis’ conduct created an appearance of impropriety and removed her from the prosecution. The indictment was ultimately dismissed after Trump returned to the White House, with a prosecutor acknowledging there was “no realistic prospect” of forcing a sitting president to stand trial.

Trump attorney Steve Sadow said the appellate court concluded that “Willis’ misconduct created an ‘odor of mendacity’ and an appearance of impropriety that could only be cured by the disqualification of her and her entire office.”

“As the court rightfully noted, only the remedy of disqualification will suffice to restore public confidence. This decision puts an end to a politically motivated persecution of the next President of the United States.”

26-year-old Austin Tucker Martin somehow got onto President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate with a loaded shotgun and a can of gasoline. He was met by Secret Service who ordered him to put the shotgun, and the gas can down. He aimed the shotgun at the agents, who responded by shooting him dead immediately.

Martin appears to have been a former Trump supporter who allegedly went sour on Trump in response to his handling of the Epstein Files. He appears to have had mental conditions. A few days before the attempted assassination, he was reported missing by his family. He purchased the shotgun on his way to Mar-a-Lago from his North Carolina home.

Austin Tucker Martin, gunman shot dead by Secret Service at Mar-a-Lago

Daily Mail: An armed young man identified as Austin Tucker Martin was shot and killed on Sunday morning after entering President Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago estate.

Martin, the 21-year-old North Carolina native, was killed at around 1.30am on Sunday at Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida, after entering with a gas can and a shotgun, according to Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesperson for the US Secret Service.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said that, after entering near the north gate of the resort, Martin was confronted by two Secret Service agents and a deputy with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department.

He pointed the shotgun at them, and was quickly neutralized by the officers.

Martin was reported missing by his family and was believed to have picked up the shotgun on his way down south. Guglielmi said that a box for the weapon was found inside Martin’s car, which his family identified as a 2013 silver Volkswagen Tiguan.

His family said on Facebook that Martin was last heard from on Saturday just before 8pm after he left his $1.1million home in Cameron, North Carolina, at around 1pm.

‘This is not like him at all,’ his devastated aunt wrote.

Martin lived with his parents at the secluded, countryside home – and the young man had a fascination with drawing golf courses in his spare time, an Instagram account linked to him showed.

Britain and France have made the first major arrests connected to the Epstein Files while the U.S.’s Department of Justice has announced there are no more files to release, and no more redactions to be unredacted. The highest profile arrest is in the UK where former Prince Andrew was arrested. At home, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon has taken the biggest hit, with emails and texts suggesting he was working to help Epstein overcome his broken image AFTER he was convicted of pedophile-related charges. Bannon has denied the characterization.

What we are beginning to suspect the reason the Trump administration continues to protect the truth from coming out is that the damage to the U.S. and Israel would be so great that our “leaders” believe hiding such an abominable truth would somehow be a better outcome. We note that in the Old Testament prophets, the two great sins charged against Judah and Israel were child sacrifice and whoredom. The truth behind the Epstein Files reveals an international class of “leaders” who have been engaging in both at the most extreme, darkest depths of both whoredom and child sacrifice.

Giuffre family thanks police over former Prince Andrew’s arrest: “Our broken hearts have been lifted” – cbsnews.com

The family of Virginia Giuffre, who alleged she was trafficked to engage in sex with former Prince Andrew when she was a teenager, thanked British police on Thursday after his arrest for suspected misconduct in public office.

“At last, today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty,” Giuffre’s siblings said in a statement shared with CBS News.

“On behalf of our sister, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, we extend our gratitude to the U.K.’s Thames Valley Police for their investigation, and the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor,” Sky and Amanda Roberts and Danny and Lanette Wilson said. “He was never a prince. For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you.”

Giuffre, an American who was one of the most outspoken accusers of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, died by suicide last year at 41. She accused Mountbatten-Windsor — former Prince Andrew — of assaulting her on three separate occasions when she was 17, which he has denied.

An article in the New York Times called “The Plan for a Radically Different Supreme Court Is Here,” exposes the Progmerican ideological capture of Federal judges and its plans to only accelerate the acts of insurrectionist judges.

The organization cultivating and identifying potential and exist jurists willing to rule based on social justice (Progmerican Rule of Law) over Individual Justice (American Rule of Law) is called the American Constitution Society (which is, in real spirit, the Progmerican Social Justice Rule of Law Society). This is the society the Biden committee used to select the 235 judges now working as one in opposition to the American republic, in lock step with Progmerican rule of law.

Jeffrey Toobin of CNN echoed the plan the article exposed, saying “For now, under Mr. Brest, the A.C.S. seems headed for an approach that looks like the one that Democratic politicians have so far adopted: aimed more at opposition to Mr. Trump’s record rather than on a specific, alternative vision for the Constitution. In his opening message to the group, Mr. Brest described the A.C.S. as building ‘a bulwark against overreach by the Trump administration and the Roberts court. Mr. Brest has pledged that A.C.S. will continue its Biden-era focus on judicial appointments … As for what those judges will stand for — as opposed to what they stand against — Mr. Brest has no clear answer.”

NYT Accidentally Admits There’s A Judicial Coup Against Trump – thefederalist.com

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin has never been one to show good judgement. When he’s not getting caught conducting “personal business” on a staff Zoom call, he’s accidentally admitting that there’s an ongoing leftist-led judicial coup designed to stymie President Trump’s agenda.

The serial self-pleasurer let the proverbial cat out of the bag in his Monday opinion column for The New York Times. Titled, “The Plan for a Radically Different Supreme Court Is Here,” the article purports to roll out a blueprint for countering conservative appointments of originalist judges to the bench but inadvertently discloses the existence of leftists’ efforts to weaponize the judicial system against Trump.

The admission comes in the piece’s opening paragraphs, in which Toobin discusses the American Constitution Society and its new president, Phil Brest. The ACS has often been described as the less successful and left-wing alternative to the conservative Federalist Society, which has become an influential force in getting originalists appointed to the Supreme Court and other federal judgeships.

Progmerican Late Night Host Stephen Colbert was told by CBS News that his scheduled interview with Texas Democrat Candidate for Senate James Talarico would be required to include an opposite counter, mainly another Democrat candidate running against him in the same Senate Primary.

Stephen Colbert used his show’s dwindling platform to push forth the lie CBS news simply did not want Talarico on the show altogether, claiming, “He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast. Then I was told in some uncertain terms that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on, and because my network clearly doesn’t want us to talk about this, let’s talk about this.”

The action is seen as a direct challenge to the new head of CBS News, Bari Weiss, whose department was behind the decision. As of this writing, CBS News has doubled down on its counter to Colbert’s claims, but no overt action has been taken in response to what was an overt act of misinformation intended to undermine the credibility of the company that pays his salary. This was not the act of a whistleblower, it was the act of an information terrorist, an agit propagandist, a Marat Molotov-cocktail thrower.

Stephen Colbert’s ‘Censorship’ Hoax Rapidly Debunked By CBS, Trump Administration –  trendingpoliticsnews.com

Outgoing “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert was quickly debunked after claiming that the FCC attempted to “censor” a recent interview he conducted with Texas State Rep. James Talarico, the preferred candidate of the Democratic Party establishment in Texas’ tightly contested Senate primary.

The interview, which was released despite objections from CBS, focused largely on Talarico’s Senate primary and claims that Democrats are going to “flip” the Lone Star State. However, CBS lawyers prevented the segment from airing on broadcast television, citing potential violations of the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) equal-time rule.

The equal-time rule, part of the Communications Act of 1934, requires broadcasters to provide equal airtime opportunities to opposing political candidates if one appears on air, excluding bona fide news interviews.

Late-night and daytime talk shows had historically been exempt under the news interview category until recent rule changes that took effect in January, when FCC Chair Brendan Carr issued a public notice stating that such programs might not qualify for the exemption if motivated by partisan purposes.

“The FCC has not been presented with any evidence that the interview portion of any late night or daytime television talk show program on air presently would qualify for the bona fide news exemption,” the notice read. This guidance followed an FCC investigation into ABC’s “The View” for hosting Talarico on February 2, 2026, without offering equal time to opponents.

During the February 16 episode, Colbert addressed the issue in his monologue, explaining that CBS lawyers directly instructed him not to air the interview or discuss the decision. He proceeded anyway, stating, “He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast. Then I was told in some uncertain terms that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on, and because my network clearly doesn’t want us to talk about this, let’s talk about this.”

Despite the alleged comedian’s claims of political bias, the network would be forced to provide equal airtime to Talarico’s opponents in the Democratic primary, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX).

“The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates,” CBS said in a statement. The network further denied that it had instructed Colbert not to broadcast the episode.

The latest feud comes as Colbert’s show is set to end in its entirety this coming May. Colbert has frequently clashed with network bosses and claims he is being censored for his political views since the decision was announced.

Rhode Island Shooter Revealed To Be Divorced Transgender With Bizarre Online Footprint – dailycaller.com

The transgender gunman who killed at least two family members at a Rhode Island hockey game on Monday left behind social media posts warning that gender-confused people like him could one day go “berserk.”

Police identified Robert Dorgan, who they say went by “Roberta,” as the man who opened fire at the Pawtucket high school game before killing himself, according to multiple reports. Dorgan’s online posts as “Roberta Dorgano” reveal his apparent interests in racist ideology, pornography and grievances about society’s treatment of transgender people, the Daily Caller News Foundation found.

Dorgan’s household endured multiple disputes over his self-declared gender, including his ex-wife’s divorce in 2021 for what she described as “gender reassignment surgery, narcissistic + personality disorder traits,” WPRI reported. (

The Virginia Supreme Court has just given the insurrectionist DNC state the go-ahead to push a referendum that will effectively cancel 4 U.S. House seats for conservatives. DNC Virginia looks to cement its hold on American soil by effectively making it impossible for non-Democrats to ever win in the state again. The referendum, the new district map, will be voted on starting this March through mid-April. The move followed the GOP’s failure to secure a gerrymandering scheme favorable to their party in Indiana, a state they fully control.

The courts have failed at all levels to recognize the constitutional violations of gerrymandering as a principle, which allows political parties to create geographically unnatural voting districts to assure their party cannot be defeated in a general election ever again. Now, millions of conservatives will be effectively disenfranchised from the voting rolls, taxed without representation. SCOTUS continues to allow this unconstitutional practice.

VA High Court Greenlights Dem Gerrymandering Effort – thefederalist.com

The Virginia Supreme Court handed Democrats a massive win Friday, allowing them to move forward with a redistricting referendum that would gerrymander the commonwealth’s U.S. House districts from five Republicans and six Democrats to one Republican and 10 Democrats.

Democrats have been looking for a way to push through their referendum, despite legal challenges and court rulings saying the efforts are illegal, in time for an April 21 special election that would allow the gerrymandered map to take effect before the November general election.

Early voting is set to start March 6.

If the referendum passes, it would allow the Virginia legislature the authority to redraw the congressional maps, instead of its nonpartisan commission. The nonpartisan commission is relatively new in Virginia, coming into play once since its creation by referendum in 2020. In that case, the commission failed to agree on maps, requiring the state Supreme Court to complete the process.

Despite the failures of the commission, the gerrymandering plan from the Democrats is a mid-decade power-grab aimed at disenfranchising Virginians in order to pad Democrat House seats ahead of a potential U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act, which already artificially gave Democrats numerous seats based on racial gerrymandering.

 

Former Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and former U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, both Republicans and co-chairs of a group called Virginians for Fair Maps, which is aimed at stopping this process, put out a statement Friday promising further legal challenges.

“Though we firmly believe this referendum is illegal, the court has allowed it to move forward before final judgement. There will be further legal action on this matter,” they said. “All across Virginia, voters are speaking out against this brazen political power grab that allows politicians in Richmond to choose their own voters. It’s wrong, it’s illegal, and it will fail.”

While allowing the special election to move forward, the Virginia Supreme Court bizarrely set itself up to hear the case after the election occurs, meaning there appears to be three potential outcomes: The referendum fails and the case would likely not be heard; the referendum is approved and the court agrees with Democrats, allowing the gerrymander; the referendum is approved and the court agrees with Republicans, throwing it out.

The last scenario is unlikely, since the court would be seen as nullifying a vote.

Republicans are still talking as if things could go their direction, with state House Minority Leader Terry Kilgore, R-Va., saying, “we’re going to make our case to Virginians that this is unfair. This is unprecedented. And, quite frankly it’s against the law we believe.”

State Senate Minority Leader Ryan McDougle, R-Va., said, “Last October, democrats took an unprecedented step to illegally pass a constitutional amendment at the 11th hour. The judiciary agreed, and the Supreme Court has taken up and fast-tracked the case. Make no mistake, the rule of law will prevail.”

But beyond the legal challenges that they could present, the state and national Republican parties, as well as other organizations, face an urgent need to set their sights on a massive get-out-the-vote operation in Virginia.

The United Kingdom’s Department of Education is set to issue guidelines for transitioning children to genders of their choosing. The current draft reveals the department plans on allowing schools to “socially transition” children as young as four. The policy “acknowledged that there is a lack of good evidence on the long-term impact of social transition on young people, but it is clear that social transition should be viewed as an active intervention that may have significant effects on the child or young person in terms of their psychological functioning and longer-term outcomes.”

Maya Forstater of the biological-sex human rights group Sex Matters, responded to the report, stating “Schools are still being left with the idea that they can facilitate ‘social transition’ – which remains undefined – and that they should negotiate this on a case-by-case basis. They are being encouraged to think that children have a ‘birth sex’ as well as some other concept of sex. This has no basis in law or reality, and undermines safeguarding. It should be clear by now that allowing children and parents to think that a child who starts their education as a girl can graduate as a boy or vice versa is a dangerous fairy tale.”

Blurb:


(LifeSiteNews) – The  lasted draft of the UK Department of Education’s long-awaited student safety guidance waters down its gender confusion policy to the point that children as young as four could be ‘socially transitioned’ under certain circumstances.

The 201-page document covers many classroom issues, but its second, which pertains to gender, appears at first to be rooted in reality. It states that schools “must not allow pupils into toilets, changing rooms, or boarding or residential accommodation designated for the opposite sex, with no exceptions”; “pupils must not be allowed to participate in sports designated for the opposite sex”; schools “should not initiate any action regarding social transition”; and schools must respect the “leading role” of parents and carers in such decisions. 

“Schools and colleges should consider everything that could be affecting a child, including whether they have any wider health issues or neurodiversity,” the policy states and notes that National Health Service (NHS) England’s 2024 Cass Review “acknowledged that there is a lack of good evidence on the long-term impact of social transition on young people, but it is clear that social transition should be viewed as an active intervention that may have significant effects on the child or young person in terms of their psychological functioning and longer-term outcomes.”

However, while urging primary schools to exercise “particular caution,” the document also leaves the door open for such schools to transition very young children, stating “we would expect support for full social transition to be agreed very rarely. The Cass Review acknowledges that older children will generally have greater agency to make their own decisions. Maintaining flexibility and keeping children’s options open will help to avoid a child feeling they are under pressure to commit to a potentially irrevocable pathway when they are young.”

The Daily Mail reports that the latest draft has been significantly watered down by Labour leaders from the version previously drafted by the formerly ruling Conservative Party, which had prohibited the changing of gender pronouns in primary schools, limited the changing of pronouns in secondary schools to “very few occasions,” and protected teachers and students’ right to refuse to use transgender pronouns.

Despite such weaknesses, the BBC notes that the guidance has the support of Cass Review leader Dr. Hilary Cass. She called it a “huge step in the right direction” that “reflects the recommendations of my review, giving schools much-needed clarity on their legal duties so they can support children with confidence.” She emphasized its support for parental involvement and expressed confidence that “proceeding with a social transition is going to be very much the exception, rather than the rule.”

Others disagree. “Primary school children should not be navigating changes in pronouns at all. But, shockingly, Labour’s guidance opens the door to children as young as four being referred to in a way that does not reflect their biological sex,” declared Tory education spokesperson Laura Trott

“Schools are still being left with the idea that they can facilitate ‘social transition’ – which remains undefined – and that they should negotiate this on a case-by-case basis,” argued Maya Forstater of the biological-sex human rights group Sex Matters. “They are being encouraged to think that children have a ‘birth sex’ as well as some other concept of sex. This has no basis in law or reality, and undermines safeguarding. It should be clear by now that allowing children and parents to think that a child who starts their education as a girl can graduate as a boy or vice versa is a dangerous fairy tale.”

A large body of evidence shows that “affirming” gender confusion carries serious harms, especially when done with impressionable children who lack the mental development, emotional maturity, and life experience to consider the long-term ramifications of the decisions being pushed on them, or full knowledge about the long-term effects of life-altering, physically-transformative, and often-irreversible surgical and chemical procedures.

Studies find that more than 80% of children experiencing gender dysphoria outgrow it on their own by late adolescence, and that even full “reassignment” surgery often fails to resolve gender-confused individuals’ heightened tendency to engage in self-harm and suicide — and may even exacerbate it, including by reinforcing their confusion and neglecting the actual root causes of their mental strife.

Many oft-ignored detransitioners, individuals who attempted transitioning before regretting it and returning to life as their true sex, attest to the physical and mental harm of reinforcing gender confusion, as well as to the bias and negligence of the medical establishment on the subject, many of whom take an activist approach to their profession and begin cases with a predetermined conclusion that “transitioning” is the best solution.

INTRODUCTION

Canada was struck with the news of a mass shooting that left 8 victims dead, and scores more injured. The dead included five students from the location of the second part of the mass shooting, Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, near Vancouver, Canada.

The shooter would then turn the gun on himself.

The motive for the shooting, so far, remains unclear. The shooter, Jesse van Rootselaar, was originally reported as a female shooter, but it would later be revealed “she” was a male presenting as a female.

It might turn out the motive for the shooting had nothing to do with the shooter’s transgenderism, but we suggest you could rightly assume it had something to do with it, though we would not recommend you make that conclusion until more information comes out (which might have by the time this report is published).

For this bellwether analysis, we want to look at this event in the context of Canada’s current governing spirit. We will bracket off the motive. What we want to consider is the promise Canada has offered to Canadians, that if they lay down their arms and shut their mouths in submission to the state orthodoxy, their lives will be safe from hate. Lose your guns, lose your tongues, and you will be safer.

They gave up Christ in the public square in part to protect the very person that murdered their children.

A. THE DETAILS

On February 10, 2026, 18-year-old Jesse van Rootselaar kicked off a killing spree in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. He killed his mother and his stepbrother at his residence, with a young female relative escaping. She ran to a neighbor to seek help, who then alerted the police. The shooting happened at 2:20PM. The police did not arrive until 15 minutes later.

While the police were going to the residence, Rootselaar was on his way to the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, with a shotgun and a modified handgun. The school is a gun-free zone. There was no armed security. There were no armed teachers.

By the time the Rootselaar arrived at the school it was 2:30PM, just 10 minutes after he killed his mother and stepbrother. The shooting was reported at 2:32 PM, another team of officers arrived two minutes later. By the time the officers who were called to his residence arrived, he was already dead in the school.

Rootselaar would have just 4 minutes to do his worst. His victims were powerless to stop him. The police were also powerless to stop him. By the time they arrived, Rootselaar was already dead by suicide, but so were six others, one adult teacher and five students (three females and two males aged 12-17). Along with the dead were 27 more injured, mostly students.

The motivation for the killings is not clear, but Rootselaar has a years-long history of causing disturbances at his home, some of which involved firearms. At one point, law enforcement confiscated the weapons, but later returned them after a petition was started. The firearms do not appear to be owned by Rootselaar, however.

Rootselaar began the process of “transitioning” to a “female” four to six years ago (we have conflicting information on this point), at the age of 13. He was on anti-psychotic drugs, in addition to transitioning drugs at the time of the shooting. His transgendered status was concealed from the public as long as it could be by both the Canadian government and the international corporatist press.

While the motive is not clear, the presence of anti-psychotic drugs in the shooter has become a tragically well-earned trope of mass shootings that this event follows as well. His transgenderism as a factor is ambiguous, though one wonders if the transgender “solution” was masking a much deeper problem transitioning only made worse (as this writer suspects is happening a lot in the age of trans mania).

B. THE IMMEDIATE REPORTING

We asked Grok to give us the headlines that were immediately shared by the international corporatist press after the shooting, and Grok’s answer revealed these cherry-picked headlines:

  • CBC News: “10 dead, including suspect, following shooting in Tumbler Ridge
  • The Globe and Mail: “Ten killed, including suspect, in mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.”
  • Vancouver Sun: “LIVE: Nine dead, 27 injured in mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge
  • National Post: “Canada in shock after one of the country’s worst mass shootings
  • CTV News: “C. RCMP give an update in their investigation into a mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge
  • BBC News: “At least seven dead after school shooting in British Columbia, Canada, police say
  • The Guardian: “Canada shooting: 10 dead including suspect in attack on Tumbler Ridge high school, police say

All of these answers provided a pretty generic telling of the event, but what Grok gave me was not indicative of the REAL spirit international corporatist media chose to operate within.

After these headlines, Grok started listing headlines acknowledging the shooter was transgendered. Grok would leave one with the impression the international corporatist media acted responsibly, with no political agenda. However, that was not reality; we believe that was programming protecting the disenfranchised class over simply answering a question truthfully.

Here are some of the headlines we found when we did time-based searches:

  • Collingwood Today – “‘Beyond devastating’: 10 dead, including female suspect, in B.C. school shooting
  • MSN – “10 dead, including female suspect, in ‘devastating’ shootings at BC school and home.”
  • MSN – “Female Identified as Suspect in Worst Canada School Shooting in Decades That Killed 10 and Injured at Least 25
  • Reuters – “Ten dead, including female suspect, after Canada school shooting – as it happened

A Royal Mounted Police officer at a press conference just after the shooting referred to the shooter as a “woman.”

C. THE BACKGROUND

We have created a special news tag in our aggregation process called “Canada Soviet” to tag all the stories that cover Canada’s lurch into authoritarianism. A trans person in Canada has more personal power as a normal private citizen than most people have in America today. A trans person in Canada cannot have their identity challenged. A trans person in Canada can destroy competition with a false accusation that won’t dare be challenged lest the challenger face hate speech charges.

You can call Christ the devil in public, but you can’t call abortion murder.

As for guns, Canada has effectively criminalized gun defense, along with most gun possessions. The shooter violated Canada’s gun laws, yet was able to accomplish his dark deed, nonetheless.

  1. LEGAL TRANS PRIVILEGE – In June of 2017 Canada introduced the now-famous bill C-16, which launched psychologist Jordan Peterson into the stratosphere as he stood as one of the few Canadians warning against the intolerance pregnant in this bill.

The bill was an amendment to Canada’s Orwellian-named Human Rights Act, which sought to limit liberty in the name of protecting the disenfranchised from being insulted in public. This amendment added “gender identity or expression” as a protected expression that ALL Canadians must comply with, regardless of whether they believed men could become women or not.

The Criminal Code already protected certain groups from what it calls “hate propaganda.” This bill added transgenders to that protected class. In other words, it de facto ennobled the transgender class as a protected class that should no longer be expected to hear opinions that invalidated their assertions that a man could become a woman, a woman could be a man, or that genders even existed at all. If they said it, you better parrot it, end stop.

In January 2022, a bill that was passed in 2021 took effect, Bill C-4. That bill made it illegal to attempt to persuade anyone, including children, that they should be heterosexual or “cis” gendered (a pejorative attempting to both vilify conventional binary gender constructions and invalidate them).

The fact that the bill included a phrase most humans would consider hate speech at this point, “cis gendered” shows the futility in allowing the state to define what “hate” is (as if hate, in and of itself, is a bad thing, unless you want to argue that hating murder is evil).

These are the two major acts, though provinces and local governments have their own “protections” for the ennobled trans class (except in the case of Alberta, which seems to be fighting back against the ennobled trans class).

ED. NOTE: While we join our readers in their concern over “trans mania,” we hold the view that some people might very well need transgender “therapy.” We also want to make it clear the evidence for the rise in trans violence is ambiguous. The majority of transgendered people should not be stigmatized by the minority ‘bad actors.’ We believe in individual justice, not social justice, and that applies to transgendered people as well.

2. ANTI-GUN LAWS – Canada has some of the strictest anti-gun laws in the nation. It began in 1995, one year before the UK began the process of surrendering their guns.

The Firearms Act of 1995 added a host of new requirements for gun ownership, which included licensing, background checks, safety training, and rules that effectively made it illegal to use your gun to defend yourself in your own home (outside of the most bizarre circumstances).

The only non-restricted weapons Canadians can currently own are bolt-action rifles and pump action shotguns. Any weapon capable of semi-automatic firing is highly restricted or prohibited altogether.

In 2022, Canada’s Bill C-21 took effect, which put a freeze on the sale, purchase, transfer, or import of handguns. It also ended ALL conceal carry for civilians, with some limited open carry allowances which basically allowed Canadians to hunt with their non-semi-automatic long guns.

While an unidentified adult in his household was legally able to possess the firearms the shooter used to kill 8 people, the shooter was not. The shooter violated multiple gun laws, appeared to use limited-action firearms (still unconfirmed), and was yet able to kill 8 people and himself in the span of 14 minutes, and that included the time it took him to get to the school from his residence.

  1. ANTI-SPEECH LAWS – During our research, we used Grok to search for Canada’s anti-speech laws. Grok began its results for me with this dystopian, unreal statement: “Freedom of expression in Canada is protected as a fundamental freedom under section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (part of the Constitution Act, 1982). This includes freedom of thought, belief, opinion, expression, and the press and other media of communication.”

What followed next was a complete disconnect from that opening statement.

Grok would “clarify,” not realizing (or being allowed to realize) that this next statement wholly invalidates the first one and makes Grok read like an Orwellian propagandist delivering the new definitions of the day and the new list of friends and enemies.

Grok “clarified,” “However, these rights are not absolute. Section 1 of the Charter allows ‘reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.’ Courts apply the Oakes test to assess such limits, requiring the objective to be pressing/substantial, the means rationally connected and minimally impairing, and the benefits outweighing the harm.”

Grok also buried the lead. In 1985, C-46 was passed, which created a new Criminal Code called “Hate Propaganda and Related Offences.” This bill was challenged in the courts where it was “validated” by their Supreme Court on numerous cases, the two key ones being R. v. Keegstra (1990) and Saskatchewan (Human Rights Commission) v. Whatcott (2013).

Here are some of the vaguer, and thus more disturbing parts of the criminal code (from Grok):

Section 319(1): Public incitement of hatred – Communicating statements in a public place that incite hatred against an identifiable group where likely to lead to a breach of the peace (up to 2 years).

Section 319(2): Wilful promotion of hatred – Communicating statements (other than in private conversation) that wilfully promote hatred against an identifiable group (up to 2 years). Defences include truth, public interest discussion, good faith religious opinion (under subsection 319(3)(b)), and good faith belief on religious grounds.

Section 319(2.1): Wilful promotion of antisemitism – Specifically condoning, denying, or downplaying the Holocaust (added in recent amendments; up to 2 years).

Had the shooter lived, he might “enjoy” the “extra” protections his ennobled class might soon receive should Bill C-9 pass. This bill hopes to remove religious exemptions from speech restrictions, as well as add new offenses for displaying hate symbols. It also seeks to eliminate the need for the Attorney General to consent to speech violation prosecutions. In other words, they want more people to be subject to their thought control, and they want to make it EASIER to prosecute them.

D. BELLWETHER ANALYSIS

  1. NOTE: This is a new feature we have created. Unlike a PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS, this type of analysis is about understanding the context of the “present,” not predicting what might come next. Unlike a SUMMARY, it is not simply a synthesis of the facts as a review, it is an analysis of the spirit of the whole event as a bellwether.

A somewhat simplistic, but mostly accurate timeline of events will show the kernel of Wokeness was most closely created by the Frankfurt School starting in the early 20s. The kernel of wokeness was born in Europe.

Under the label, “critical theory,” the notion of social justice over economic justice began to emerge. By the 60s, American leftists decided to exploit that path, having realized capitalism wasn’t going to collapse anytime soon, and, unlike their predictions, was continuing to offer greater prosperity to more people in society than communism ever did (or would).

Wokeness, long before we used the term, was infiltrating American academia, which in turn spread its wokeness to other nations. As it infiltrated direct government power, the American state began to export wokeness to the rest of the world. They offered cash to the compliant and interference (to put it mildly) to the non-compliant.

Unfortunately for Canada, they got our wokeness in spades. As our next-door neighbor, Canada was most affected by the U.S.’s new woke promotions.

In America, the battle for the spirit of the land continues, with wokeness currently taking major hits (but hardly dead). In other countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia, wokeness has ended their status as a traditional Western “democratic” power. There is no free speech in any of these lands.

Wokeness may have started in Europe, but America gave it international strength, poisoning the rest of the world with an ideology that hates its citizens. Yet, America is still holding out while the others seem to have fallen (at least for now).

Why is that? It is because America’s right to rule is based on the premise that we are endowed by an authority outside the state with certain rights, rights that enable us to define and choose our own paths to happiness and prosperity.

Canada and Australia are no longer directly under the rule of the British crown, so the monarchy does not justify their rule. For these two countries, the right to rule is from “popular sovereignty,” the approval of the people, which is just mob rule with extra steps if that is your own right to rule principle.

In Britian, the monarch is the final authority, not God, so there are no absolute restrictions on government power.

Canada, Australia, and Britain all quickly gutted the public of guns starting around the same time, the late 90s, as it became apparent that technology was beginning to advantage small-scale resistance over large-scale conquest.

After the guns fell, the tongue followed behind, in all three countries, with Canada and the UK fighting neck-and-neck to be the most Soviet western nation of them all.

Now, here Canadians sit, having been promised security in exchange for surrendering dangerous freedom but getting neither. They sit in a world in which the press and the government must lie about the basic facts of a shooter to protect a special class of people from free tongues, enslaving all, including the special class (which are now desperately dependent on the state to protect them from mean thoughts, a protection they’ve been propagandized to militantly expect).

The “security” through disarming your neighbors’ guns and tongues has made Canada fundamentally less safe than it was before. A madman grew up among them, indulged by the system, protected from reality (you have a mental illness, you’re not a girl), and medically conditioned to be predisposed to even greater psychotic breaks with reality.

While children’s bodies were yet cold, the “authorities” were doubling down on the toxic lie that this boy was a girl. They were probably more frightened of the authorities sending them to jail for violating the psychotic safe space of transgendered people than they were of anything that happened at that school.

This bellwether event shows what happens when a government is too afraid of its citizens to let them have the tools to defend their children from a 4-minute execution by a mentally ill child indulged by the same system that took Canadians’ guns away. They created the beast and they disarmed its victims.

For we Americans, this should compel us even more to resist any effort to confiscate our guns. Vast swathes of American land are occupied by Progmerican overlords who seek to do to us what Canada has done to its citizens, disarm us while they raise beasts to kill us.

“If Balak should give me his house full of silver and gold, I would not be able to go beyond the word of the Lord, to do either good or bad of my own will. What the Lord speaks, that will I speak? And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, I will let you know what this people will do to your people in the latter days.”-

Numbers 24:13-14

INTRODUCTION

Just as we were wrapping up our monthly MIA report for January 2026, news broke that the Department of Justice had released over 3 million documents related to the massive conspiracy surrounding the now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein. This was a sort of prophetic utterance on the land from the highest echelons of power. It was meant for a curse, a curse by omission. It kept the black hole mystery alive but offered no clear justice. It keeps the land unsatisfied and unsecure.

When the Israelites were about to enter into the promised land, Balaam of Peor, a prophet of Ba’al, was enticing Israelites to worship the god that calls you to sacrifice your child. He was preparing to give a curse to the Israelites, but instead, God compelled him to give them a blessing, which he did.

Balaam’s reward was to later be killed by Joshua for the crime he committed of bringing Israelites to worship Ba’al.

The Israelites were about to enter their Promised Land, which was a Hope Exit of their time from Egyptian and Wilderness bondage when a curse was about to befall them. But that curse was turned into a blessing by the supernatural intervention of God, who was compelled to speak blessings on Israel and curses on Moab.

We Americans are about to enter our Hope Exit (hopefully) as well, as the division between American and Progmerican becomes clearer and clearer over the coming months. Just as we face this challenge, we see once again the Ba’al priests protected by the establishment. It seems they hold the high places still and they mean to protect their child-sacrificing god, come what may.

Yet, even as Balaam hoped to pronounce a curse with his mountaintop declarations, what might have been meant as a form of a curse on the land in the Epstein files release will yet be a blessing on the land, though it might be difficult to see that now.

After the releases, the partisan information warriors scampered off to their platforms and produced agit prop and content marketing condemning the other and protecting the ingroup. There were some, mostly outside of the Progmerican left (but not exclusively), that took measured wait-and-see takes, but, for the most part, Trump was exonerated or condemned, Bill Clinton was exonerated or condemned. There was little ground in between being created by the info warriors in the partisan camps.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche made the announcement, not Attorney General Pam Bondi, which might be telling in and of itself. He gave a measured statement, exclaiming these documents only represented half of the documents the government had yet not released. He claimed these files were held back because they identified victims, exposed medical files, had child pornographic images, or showed death, or showed abuse.

Right from the start he made it clear we were getting a sanitized look at the madness, which might be to our favor, but then again, it might be a demon we need to look at to see that the demon was fed by us as well. THIS might lead us to the repentance we have yet, as a nation, to experience, the repentance against our worshiping of Ba’al, the god who calls a nation to sacrifice their children to his fire.

Remember, many of the highest-level leaders of our country, in all sectors of life, were part of this child rape-murder-sacrifice-torture cabal. None, so far, have faced criminal consequence for their actions. Most of them continue to walk amongst us, our masters, dictating our terms of existence to us from behind a veil of moral supremacism concealing child sacrifice at its heart.

If it’s not them, it’s their adult children, who, by now, have most likely been initiated into the family affair, the family “business.”

These same leaders were the ones making deals with China that sold our vitality to the Chinese Communist Party for a promise of an Eldorado that would never come (the burgeoning consumer class in China that would one day dwarf America’s).

While they sold our vocations to China, at home they were browbeating us with a morality they used to justify corporate censorship and the unpersoning of the unorthodox. While they were browbeating us in public, in private, they were stealing life to satisfy Ba’al’s fire within them all, a fire that is never quenched, which is an eternal torment to the worm that never dies.

The documents were only released in what we imagine is a “minimal” adherence to a law ordering the DOJ to release the Epstein Files. The Deputy Attorney General stated, “We comply with the act, and there is no ‘protect President Trump.’ We didn’t protect or not protect anybody.”

The statement itself is a minimal affirmation of the Act, which would support our theory the DOJ “minimally” complied with the law. As for the claim they didn’t protect anyone, let us see if we find this statement to be accurate after our analysis.

It should be noted that this release was six weeks past the due date outlined in the November 19, 2025 Act signed into law by President Donald Trump.

The releases include 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. The two biggest names everyone was looking for, Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, failed to deliver the proverbial smoking gun, as these releases largely did (with some noted exceptions).

First, we will look at the two biggest names and what these Epstein Files say about them, then in general at who was most damaged and who escaped any serious harm, and finally we’ll analyze what this type of release tells us about the Reality of Power at the global scale, behind closed doors, where the children are most likely still being used as elixirs of youth and deification.

A. DONALD TRUMP

Shortly after the Epstein Files release, President Donald Trump told the press on Air Force One, “I didn’t see (the files) myself, but I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it’s the opposite of what people were hoping.”

He was referring specifically to what he alleges the Epstein Files show, a conspiracy between Jeffrey Epstein and author Michael Wolff to besmirch Trump’s name out of revenge. This charge has some suggestions through the email correspondence between Wolff and Epstein that might corroborate that claim, but there is no smoking guns affirming the claim. Trump has threatened to sue Wolff, who expressed no alleged fear at such possibility.

Progmerican Info Warriors have taken to sharing a meme that says “Donald Trump was mentioned more times in the Epstein Files than Jesus was mentioned in the Bible.” As usual, category “errors” abound in that narrative, the first of which is that one category is the Holy Word of God, and the other category is criminal child sex trafficking investigation files.

The meme itself reveals that the Progmericans have no hoped-for smoking gun from the Epstein files. The most damaging files are anonymous complaints that are filled with horrifying details. However, most of the other high-profile people, including Bill Clinton, suffer from this same circumstance.  These are mostly unsubstantiated claims by anonymous sources that were either followed up on and ruled out as uncredible or ruled out as uncredible from the start.

The “best” attack the left had was to malapropistically use Christ as a bludgeon against Trump’s presumed Christian base. Not understanding scripture at all, they had no idea such comparisons would ring hollow, especially for those who hold to the rather orthodox belief that ALL of scripture points to Christ. Where His name is not spoken, the Word yet points to Him.

It also cheapens the profundity and sacredness of scripture by comparing it to child pornographic criminal records. THIS was not by accident.

While the DOJ says Trump has been mentioned over 5,000 times in the files, Bill Clinton’s number of mentions hasn’t been released. When you do a search for Bill Clinton in the DOJ’s Epstein Files library, you get 1,230 mentions. When you do a search for Donald Trump, you get 1,478 results.

B. BILL CLINTON

Bill Clinton will find nothing even suggesting an exoneration like President Trump did in this release, nor was there a smoking gun condemning him. The evidence against him still remains circumstantial, which includes the new photos of him with Jeffrey Epstein, including some with young women, sometimes in questionable (but not obviously so) positions.

When the U.S. House Oversight Committee subpoenaed both Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary to testify under oath, the Clintons initially refused. Now, they have agreed, in principle, to testify in the face of potential criminal charges of contempt for continuing to refuse to comply to the subpoena.

Perhaps the most damaging evidence against the Clintons, in general, is Jeffrey Epstein’s deposition in 2016 when he invoked the Fifth Amendment numerous times to avoid answering questions about the nature of his involvement with Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. Outside of that, this release introduced no real new information about the Clintons and their relationship to Jeffrey Epstein.

C. THOSE MOST AFFECTED

This category excludes, of course, the ones obviously most affected from this whole operation (one probably still going on in one way, shape, or form), the victims of these little gods, the men and women consuming the future to preserve the illusion of the eternal now.

  1. KIER STARMER – The UK Prime Minister was not originally on this list, but circumstances have changed. Momentum continues to grow for the PM to resign after it was revealed Starmer KNEW about Peter Mandelson’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein BEFORE he approved of Mandelson becoming the U.S. ambassador.

His own intelligence service flagged Mandelson, but Starmer overruled the flag. The only reason this was discovered was because the second person on this list, Peter Mandelson, was exposed in the Epstein Files in a way that led British authorities to discover this fact.

  1. PETER MANDELSON – After the Epstein Files were released, Peter Mandelson was exposed as having leaked sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein that could result in criminal charges. The fallout was immediate, as Mandelson was forced to resign from the Labour Party and from the House of Lords. He had already been forced to resign as the UK ambassador to the U.S. It was the notification from the Epstein Files that Mandelson had leaked this information that led to an investigation exposing the initial flag by the intelligence community on Mandelson and Starmer’s direct override of the flag.
  2. MIROSLAV LAJCAK – Slovakia’s National Security Adviser was forced to resign after the Epstein files release revealed he had numerous parties and meetings with Epstein back in 2018. The opposition party pounced on the releases, while Lajcak claimed he had done no wrong.
  3. STEVE TISCH – The Co-owner of the New York Giants, Steve Tisch, showed up in this new batch release 400 times, and that includes emails from him using terms like “working girl” that made it highly probable he was referring to sexual activity, though not underage activity.

While the NFL has announced plans to investigate Steve Tish, so far, he hasn’t been forced to resign, nor has he offered to.

  1. BILL CLINTON – While no smoking gun was revealed in the release, they did help to fuel the House Oversight Committee’s efforts to get the Clintons to testify under oath (something they wanted to do for some time).
  2. OTHERS – Some lesser affected include Harvey Weinstein, Leon Black, Casey Wasserman, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The last one is most noteworthy, with Lutnick showing up for an Epstein Island lunch visit years after he claimed he last contacted Epstein.

ED.NOTE: We consider one Democrat hard hit by the Epstein Files release, Stacey Plaskett, a minor actor. What she has alleged to do, text Jeffrey Epstein during U.S. House hearings, indicts the system. Her removal as an actor, however, is almost inconsequential.

While Donald Trump doesn’t appear to have the clear exoneration he claims, he has taken no real damage beyond what he’s already received from his handling of the Epstein files in general.

D. WHAT’S MISSING

At the now culturally irrelevant Grammy Awards, British actor and comedian Trevor Noah made a joke about Donald Trump, saying, “That’s a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton. I told you, it’s my last year! What are you going to do about it?”

Upon hearing this, President Trump responded on Truth Social, “The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards. I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media. Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus and others how that all worked out. Also, ask CBS!” added Trump. “Get ready, Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”

This exchange right here might be the most amount of action these file releases have generated far. A far-left anti-American British citizen on an American television show to an American audience made a joke about a former and current President going to an island that is known for child rape (and probably child murder as well).

The CURRENT President responded to this jokester by threatening to sue him, demonstrating a critical unawareness of basic first amendment constitutional law, or an indifference to it. Either way, the most dramatic exchange to come after this mega-release turns out to be between an anti-American agit prop activist properly exploiting American freedom and the sitting President not properly understanding it.

What’s missing is evidence that leads to criminal prosecution for anyone, which we can only surmise includes a high proportion of leaders in all segments of society. Hundreds, if not thousands, of powerful men and women who participated in consuming children to satisfy their little god fires, are still among us, still holding social, cultural, political, and even sacred leadership and gatekeeping positions.

What’s missing is accountability, what’s missing is a transparent assurance the operation is actually shut down and is not being continued with different Epsteins and Maxwells.

E. THE CASE FOR SEEING MORE

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche let us know this release was only half of the files the DOJ still has. We suggested he complied as minimally as he thought he could get away with, and the fruit of this release suggests to us he wasn’t being truthful when he said he wasn’t protecting anyone.

We don’t presume he is protecting President Trump, or NOT protecting President Trump. We don’t presume Trump is guilty beyond turning a blind eye to something he AT LEAST should have figured out a lot sooner than he did (if he’s even guilty of that).

We don’t even suggest this for President Clinton as well. For all we know, both these men could be innocent. For all we know, both these men could be guilty of comparable crimes.

Blanche revealed the released files did not include those files that showed child pornographic images, or showed death, or showed abuse. He also cited medical records concerns and victim identities; both seem credible enough. However, those first three categories don’t, especially because sensitive areas can be blurred to at least expose the criminal, something we must assume has already been done, but led to no arrests.

As stated above, we have no idea who walks among us that is part of this Satanic cult, and the cost of shocking Americans with the awful sins of our leaders is overshadowed by the much costlier consequence of continuing to protect the criminals of Epstein Island. Protect no one, not even Donald Trump (if it’s needed at all).

Failure to let Americans see the horrifying truth will only further erode the state’s legitimacy of rule, which is already on life support as it is. Release the Kraken, come what may, for the guilty can no longer be protected if the state in its current form (officially still American) hopes to continue to exist.

SUMMARY

The Department of Justice, under the direction of Pam Bondi, did the minimum it felt it had to do to at least give the political leadership of both parties plausible deniability that yet did not remove the Epstein fangs pointed at one another.

The goal here, it would seem, was to sustain the status quo between the real competing factions. These competing main factions are Trump’s elites now hedging their bets on the China model and leaning towards an America-lite model, and the “China Model through the Woke Vehicle of Power” elites who have been the center of power until recently.

We see here King Kong versus Godzilla, fighting over our city, with the Epstein files being performative missiles shot off now and then by the city security forces, who assure us the monsters are under control. We Americans find ourselves rooting for King Kong, the American-like monster, for at least this monster won’t completely destroy our city, whereas we KNOW Godzilla wants to destroy us completely.

We have a real chance in the post-Kong victory world to fully live out our Americanism. We have little chance to fully live out our Americanism if Godzilla wins. Still, we see the monster that King Kong is clearly for ourselves, and we are not prepared to bend our knee to him anymore than we would be prepared to bend our knee to Godzilla. Or so the metaphor goes.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

The latest attempt by the Trump administration and the DNC to placate the masses without giving too much safe harbor to the enemy has served only to delay the soon-to-be louder voices demanding the real damaging files get released, come what may.

We can’t imagine anyone seriously thought this would put the Epstein files to bed, and possibly that was never the intended outcome. For as much as we want to know the full truth of the child sex ring designed to blackmail thought leaders in multiple countries, we also understand the black hole mystery that is the Epstein Files.

This black hole mystery can gobble up minds, resources, that might otherwise have discovered practical paths to blunt centralized control over human action. This is not to suggest the effort to expose the truth shouldn’t continue, but only that the continuation of this black hole mystery is not completely disadvantageous to the elites.

This is especially true of the elites who continue to be part of the blackmailers group, not the blackmailed leaders group Clinton, Trump, etc., are candidates for being in. The blackmailers have every reason for the mystery to continue, and our passion to continue to be absorbed by it, for, even as we speak, most likely they’ve long moved on to their new centers of child sacrifice.

We always allow for God’s intervention, but outside of that, this black hole mystery is set to continue at least for another year, maybe longer.

We doubt the Clinton hearings will yield much more than body language videos and montages of “I plea the Fifth,” which is assuming the hearings happen at all, something far from certain at this point. If they do, the Clintons will try to look hard and determined in the same way Hillary did during the Benghazi hearings (presaging Trump).

Trump has standardized the bluster, the WWE promotion-style savaging, which the Clintons will try to manifest in their outfits and their demeanor.

They will address the Republicans curtly, with a tinge of contempt. Bill could be a wildcard if he gets caught in a logic trap and says more than he should. The DNC criminal media will cover them with plaudits and heap shame on the Republicans daring to question their integrity.

The press will carry headlines comparing Trump’s 5K mentions to Bill’s “fewer” mentions as proof this is merely a political witch hunt. The girls at the View may offer this as proof that the Department of Justice is protecting Donald Trump by going after the Clintons to distract them from Trump, who, after all, is mentioned more

The net result will be a blunting of the Epstein Files as a uniquely Republican or Democrat problem, which is not a good overall net result for America, because it means less creators will find incentives in producing content keeping the pressure on these people to release files (since it doesn’t exclusively hurt the other faction).

On one hand this might be good if those same creators start showing their audiences how to build Americanist communities right where they live, starting in their own homes. But this seems less likely, as that type of content is not nearly as monetizable as Epstein content that eviscerates the opposing faction.

On the other hand, if this is swept under the rug, it will only embolden the elites to do more, which means more victims than ever before, for surely, they haven’t stopped Jeffrey Epstein’s work. What this means is they haven’t stopped offering children for power to the people who will still rule over us as if WE were the ones that needed THEIR moral authority for our lives to be “good.”

There is a Goldilocks zone for our engagement with this black hole mystery, and it’s not silence or indifference, nor is it where the bulk of our energies should be spent.

The blackmailers would ultimately be happy with either/or extreme, total obsession that saps restorative energies to total crickets allowing the conspiracy to operate in silence. The blackmailers prefer to see the pendulum swing wildly from the obsession extreme to the cricket extreme. This assures the blackmailed still feel threatened while also assuring the blackmailers continue to remain invisible (as they mostly still are).

A consistent, steady approach to investigating the Epstein files is what is needed amongst us Americans (see Whitney Webb), but only a handful of us.

Unless a brave whistleblower manages to get the irrefutable proof of the dark sins of our leaders, expect the black hole mystery of the Epstein Files to continue to burn, for good and for ill, against a backdrop of an America struggling to find her people amongst peoples who have long ago forgotten what America is.

Our ability to confront these sins, to bring to account the main criminals, will most likely be what finally determines if the spirit of Americanism prevails in this land or the spirit of Progmericanism, child sacrifice, prevails in this land.

The Epstein Files release has not fooled the Americans, it is only helping us to clarify whose clearly with us and whose clearly against us. In other words, the Epstein Files release is already proving to be a blessing, not the curse it was intended to be. If you are too partisan in your defense of ANY suspected politician, including Trump, we have reason to question your Americanist credentials.

Will Ba’al replace Christ, officially, as the centerpiece of the “new Progmerican republic” or will Christ remain muted under an American-lite MAGA banner, or will Christ be unbounded in a restored Americanist nation? So far, the release hasn’t had its intended results, which bodes well for the Americanists.

The Democrats have voted against a DHS funding bill that effectively creates a government shutdown.

Democrats Want To Stop Deportations By Shutting Down DHS – thefederalist.com

Just like the last time Democrats threw the government into a shutdown, they have no leverage but are now withholding votes to fund the Department of Homeland Security while making ridiculous demands that the Trump administration is entertaining.

If Congress doesn’t push more money to DHS by Saturday, funding to TSA and FEMA will be cut off this weekend. Democrat leaders say they won’t agree to any deal that doesn’t reform Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is to say, make it effectively impossible to deport illegal aliens.

But everyone in Washington knows Democrats are in no position to force concessions, given that even without more money for DHS, ICE remains funded with billions in cash by way of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” law passed last year. In short, the hand Democrats are playing is: Neuter immigration law enforcement or they’re going to clog up air travel and federal emergency response assistance.

Pam Bondi’s showdown with U.S. congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) highlights the growing GOP divide between those who think there’s something serious to the Epstein Files and those who don’t. President Trump’s disconnect from this issue appears to be leading his strongest supporters to want to follow the lead.

Thomas Massie isn’t the only congressmember pressing for a full disclose of the people involved in the “alleged” child sex trafficking and blackmailing for real political power ring, including Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Nancy Mace (R-SC), both of whom claim to have seen some of the unredacted names, names that are still powerful and well-known today.

US lawmakers name powerful men ‘likely incriminated’ in Epstein files — RT World News

The Justice Department has been accused of improperly redacting the identities of the sex offender’s potential associates

A Democratic lawmaker publicly identified six men whose names were redacted from government documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, adding pressure on the Justice Department over transparency in the release of the files.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) read the names aloud on the House floor Tuesday after he and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) reviewed unredacted versions of the files at a Justice Department office earlier this week.

The six men named by Khanna are billionaire retail magnate Leslie “Les” Wexner; Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, the CEO of DP World; and four others identified as Nicola Caputo, Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze and Leonic Leonov.

None of the men have been charged with crimes in connection with Epstein, and Khanna acknowledged that inclusion in the files does not itself establish guilt, despite insisting that the context of the records “likely incriminated” them.


 

The decision to reveal the names on the House floor gives Khanna constitutional protection under the Speech and Debate Clause, which shields lawmakers from potential defamation lawsuits.

Khanna and Massie are co-sponsors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandated the public release of the documents with only narrow redactions to protect victims. Khanna accused the Justice Department and the FBI of improperly redacting the identities of potential associates while, in some cases, failing to adequately protect the identities of Epstein’s victims.

“Why did it take Thomas Massie and me going to the Justice Department to get these six men’s identities to become public?” Khanna said during his floor speech. “If we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those three million files.”


 

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche pushed back against the lawmakers’ claims, accusing them of “grandstanding.” Blanche said some redactions were required to protect personally identifiable information, including email addresses, and insisted the Justice Department was “hiding nothing.” Following the criticism, the department unredacted several additional pages.

Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting a minor for prostitution and died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. His longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, was later convicted of aiding his abuse of underage girls. The Justice Department has not announced any new criminal investigations related to the newly unredacted names.

He struggled in broken English, sounding like a CCP Chairman excoriating his American enemy, threatening the Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, yelling, “You better hope you get pardoned because you will be held accountable for the absolute disregard of the law your agencies have shown over the past year. Your agencies have lost the trust of the American people, with millions taking to the streets to protect the illegal actions of your agencies. And that’s why I introduce a bill in the United States Congress to abolish ICE. ICE must be abolished.”

The DNC’s House leader, Hakeem Jeffries, echoed this violent threat, saying, “One thing to understand as people who are flirting with the Trump administration, or doing the bidding of the Trump administration, or engaging in the pay-to-play schemes of the Trump administration: The statute of limitations is five years.

Earlier on Wednesday, the FAA announced on social media that the “temporary closure” of airspace over El Paso had been lifted, just hours after it said in a Notice to Airmen that aircraft could not fly above El Paso for 10 days, from Feb. 11 to Feb. 21, for “Special Security Reasons.”

The closure would have prevented flights from landing at or departing from El Paso International Airport until the following Saturday. Airspace above Santa Teresa, New Mexico, located about 24 kilometers northwest of El Paso Airport, was also temporarily closed. Mexican airspace was not affected.

On Wednesday morning, the FAA said there was “no threat to commercial aviation,” adding that “all flights will resume as normal.”

The Associated Press reported on Wednesday that it was told by a Trump administration official that the airspace over El Paso was closed after Mexican cartel drones breached the airspace, while CNN cited a U.S. government official as saying the same thing.

“The Department of War took action to disable the drones,” the unnamed official told CNN.

“The FAA and DOW have determined there is no threat to commercial travel.”

AP said that the official it spoke to didn’t say how many drones breached the airspace above El Paso — located opposite Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua — or explain what specifically was done to disable the unmanned aerial vehicles.

NBC News and ABC News also reported that they were told by a Trump administration official that Mexican cartel drones had breached U.S. airspace, but the DOW disabled them.

The Texas Tribune acknowledged that the U.S. government “says the unusual closure was triggered by Mexican cartel drones breaching U.S. airspace,” but said that information contradicted “an industry source who said it was because of an impasse with the Department of Defense [as the DOW was previously known] over the use of unmanned military aircraft.”

“An industry official, who had been briefed on the matter by the FAA in a morning call and asked not to be identified, told the Tribune that the Defense Department has been operating unmanned aircraft, or drones, against drug cartel operations from a base near El Paso’s airport without sharing information with the FAA,” the Tribune reported.

“It has to do with the FAA’s inability to predict where [unmanned aircraft systems] might be flying,” the official told the Tribune. “They have been operating outside the normal flight paths.”

For its part, The New York Times reported that officials “offered conflicting explanations for a temporary closure of airspace over El Paso.”

It noted that Duffy and other U.S. government officials attributed the closure to a breach of U.S. airspace by Mexican cartel drones, but added that “two people briefed by Trump administration officials said the shutdown was prompted by the Defense Department’s use of new counter-drone technology and concerns about the risks it could pose to other aircraft in the area.”

Mexican cartel drones have previously breached U.S. airspace, according to a senior Trump administration official.

Last July, Steven Willoughby, a high-ranking official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said that “nearly every day, transnational criminal organizations use drones to convey illicit narcotics and contraband across U.S. borders and to conduct hostile surveillance of law enforcement.”

He asserted that it was “only a matter of time” before Mexican criminal organizations carried out drone attacks against U.S. citizens and law enforcement authorities.

In recent months, the Trump administration has ramped up its fight against drug trafficking, launching numerous attacks on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, and capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who is accused of leading a drug-trafficking organization.

Shootings at school and home in British Columbia leave 10 dead, including shooter – japantoday.com

A shooting at a school in British Columbia left eight dead including a woman whom police believe to be the shooter, while two more people were found dead at a nearby home, Canadian authorities said Tuesday.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said more than 25 people are injured, including two who were airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries, after the shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School.

School shootings are rare in Canada.

The town of Tumbler Ridge is more than 1,000 kilometers north of Vancouver, near the border with Alberta. The provincial government website lists Tumbler Ridge Secondary School as having 175 students from Grades 7 to 12.

British Columbia Premier David Eby told reporters that police officers reached the school within two minutes.

Chairman Xi of China has finally publicly addressed the purge of most of his military leaders and political “allies” in response to what appears to have been a coup attempt by his second-in-command, Zhang Youxia. He addressed the military, stating, “The past year has been unusual and extraordinary, The People’s Army has deepened its political education, effectively addressed various risks and challenges and undergone revolutionary forging in the fight against corruption.”

While Xi has survived the coup, mobilizations within China suggest he has yet to fully restoyre stability. So far, none of the top spots have been replaced by anyone else. The purge leaves the military without seasoned Generals, and one of the few who has experienced combat, Youxia, is among the Generals that have been purged. As of right now, the conditions in China are still fluid by our assessment.

Epstein court documents reveal President Trump was one of the first people to raise an alarm about Jeffrey Epstein. He did so in 2006 when he called the police to recommend they investigate Jeffrey Epstein AND Gislaine Maxwell, whom he called evil. The transcript of the phone call reveals Trump suspected Maxwell of being Epstein’s “operative.” He also called her “evil.” The call happened shortly after the Epstein investigation began.
