CIA Director John Ratcliffe is alleging the CIA under the Obama administration suppressed findings that showed the Biden family was selling U.S. favor for cash. Ratcliffe alleges that Biden directly instructed the CIA not to pursue growing complaints from Ukrainians about the obvious graft the Biden family was receiving. This action allegedly happened in 2015.

An official sent an email on February 16, 2016, spelling out the suppression. He wrote, “Good morning, I just spoke with VP/ NSA, and he would strongly prefer the report not/not be disseminated. Thanks for understanding…” That report cited Ukrainian officials concerned about Biden’s business activities. Intelligence officials initially on the case allegedly claimed at the report should have been disseminated according to protocols.

Red Mass - Wikipedia

St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Washington, D.C. may have been the target of a potential terrorist attack. The DC Metropolitan Police confronted 41-year-old Louis Geri of Vineland, NJ just ahead of the “Red Mass,” a mass that was held to pray for legal officials, especially the Supreme Court Judges. The police discovered multiple incendiary devices inside the tent he had set up on the cathedral’s steps.

The motivation for the suspect has not yet been given, though he had been trespassed off the premises before. He is being charged with Unlawful Entry, Threats to Kidnap or Injure a Person, and Possession of a Molotov Cocktail. It is not uncommon for SCOTUS judges to attend the mass.

Police arrested a New Jersey man who allegedly had a Molotov cocktail near St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Washington, DC, on Sunday.

The arrest occurred just before the church was set to hold its Red Mass to celebrate the beginning of the new Supreme Court term.The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said it “engaged an individual who set up a tent on the steps of the Cathedral,” according to a press release.

During the arrest officers observed multiple suspicious items, including vials of liquid and possible fireworks, inside of the suspect’s tent. Members of MPD’s Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) team and the Arson Task Force responded to the scene to search the suspect’s belongings. The scene has been secured and there is no threat to public safety. The front entrance of the Cathedral and the 1700 block of Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, remain closed as the scene is processed.

The suspect, identified as 41-year-old Louis Geri of Vineland, New Jersey, is preliminarily charged with Unlawful Entry, Threats to Kidnap or Injure a Person, and Possession of a Molotov Cocktail. The investigation is ongoing in coordination with members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Washington Field Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Pope Leo XIV has recognized the work Knights of Columbus have done to stand against legalized abortion. The Pope highlighted how the group seeks “to bring the compassion and love of the Lord into your local communities, including through your efforts to uphold the sanctity of human life in all its stages.”

Pope Leo Praises Pro-Life Group for “Protecting the Sanctity of Human Life in All Stages”– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Pope Leo XIV commended the Knights of Columbus on Monday for their unwavering commitment to pro-life causes, highlighting their efforts as a vital defense of the vulnerable unborn amid a culture that too often devalues innocent human life.

The pontiff’s remarks came during a private audience in the Apostolic Palace with the board of directors of the Knights of Columbus, a global Catholic fraternal organization boasting over 2.1 million members dedicated to charity, unity and the protection of life from conception to natural death.

The group was in Rome on pilgrimage for the Jubilee Year of Hope, where Pope Leo expressed profound appreciation for their support of Vatican restoration projects and local initiatives that embody Christian compassion.

From a pro-life standpoint, the Pope’s endorsement reinforces the Church’s unyielding opposition to abortion, affirming the Knights’ role as frontline warriors in building a civilization of life against the scourge of abortions that end countless preborn lives annually.

Gay or straight, let's embrace the language of marriage equality ...

U.S. District Judge Benjamin Beaton has ruled that Chelsey Nelson cannot be forced to photograph a gay wedding due to her religious convictions that homosexual marriage is not righteous marriage. The entity seeking to force her to do it was the government of Louisville, KY. They knowingly defied a SCOTUS ruling in the hope Nelson would not have the resources to legally challenge the attack on her 1st Amendment Rights.

Alliance Defending Freedom Attorney Bryan Neihart said of the ruling, “Free speech is fore everyone. As the Supreme Court held two years ago in 303 Creative v Elenis, Americans have the freedom to express and create messages that align with their beliefs without fear of government punishment. The First Amendment leaves decisions about what to say with the people, not with the government.”

Excerpt:

A federal judge has permanently barred Louisville from forcing a Christian wedding photographer to provide services for same-sex weddings against her religious beliefs under the guise of its non-discrimination law.

U.S. District Judge Benjamin Beaton, appointed by President Donald Trump, issued the decision Tuesday in the case first brought by Chelsey Nelson in 2022. The ruling upholds previous orders blocking the city from enforcing a nondiscrimination law against her and also awards her nominal damages.

Nelson, who believes that marriage is between one man and one woman, has said that she cannot photograph same-sex weddings. She argued that the city’s ordinance violated her rights under the First Amendment and Kentucky’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Nelson first won a ruling in her favor in 2022, but the city appealed, and she also sought damages. The case was sent back to the district court by the Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 decision in 303 Creative v. Elenis, which held that states cannot compel artists and others to express messages that go against their deeply held beliefs.

He self-reported, “Hi everyone in Terrorism, unfortunately my situation has gotten worse recently. This weekend, shortly after some negative media and social media attention (some of which, ironically enough, accused me of being a ‘terrorist’), I received another death threat and a separate threat that included my home address.

Social media posts on Friday showed left-wing journalists and public figures are furious about CBS News picking The Free Press co-founder Bari Weiss as its new editor-in-chief.

CBS News’ parent company, Paramount, is expected to announce a deal to buy The Free Press, which Weiss co-founded with her self-proclaimed spouse Nellie Bowles, and make her the new editor-in-chief as part of the deal. Liberals on social media are raging about elevating Weiss to the prominent role, complaining about her pro-Israel stance and hesitance toward far-left ideologies.

CBS News is naming Bari Weiss Editor in Chief, which will make CBS News useless,” The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur said. “She is indisputably biased towards Israel. In fact, that’s why she was hired. According to @nypost, ‘Weiss’s strong pro-Israel stance is one of the factors that is said to have appealed to [Paramount SkyDance Corporation CEO] David Ellison.”

MSNBC host Chris Hayes compared Weiss to Vice President J.D. Vance and said they have “very similar skills,” implying that she is a right-winger who aligns with President Donald Trump. Weiss does not identify as conservative and notably has politically centrist views.

“Bari Weiss and JD Vance are very similar figures with very similar skills,” Hayes wrote on BlueSky, a left-wing social media site.

Excerpt:

Pro-life pregnancy centers expect an increase in appointments after President Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill” defunded Planned Parenthood facilities, a center director told The Daily Signal.

Trump’s spending bill instructed the federal government to end Medicaid payments for one year to abortion providers, such as Planned Parenthood, that received more than $800,000 from Medicaid in 2023. As a result, women are getting turned away by abortion facilities and are instead making appointments at privately funded pro-life pregnancy centers, which support them in carrying their babies to term, at no cost to the clients.

James Harden, president and CEO of New York pregnancy center network CompassCare, said he has “absolutely” seen an increase in appointments since the bill passed.

“We built a team in the Bronx, and they’re already fully booked,” Harden told The Daily Signal. “We’re triple-booking right now.”

This revolution happened in Madagascar. Madagascar youth began protests that have only been building, holding signs that say “We want to live, not survive.”

In response to the protests, Madagascar’s President, Andy Rajoelina, has dissolved the government, saying in his dissolution announcement, “We acknowledge and apologise if members of the government have not carried out the tasks assigned to them.” Shortly afterwards, the military turned on the President, causing him to leave the country out of fear for his life.

Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina said he has fled the country in fear for his life following a military rebellion but did not announce his resignation in a speech broadcast on social media late Monday from an undisclosed location.

Rajoelina has faced weeks of Gen Z-led anti-government protests, which reached a pivotal point on Saturday when an elite military unit joined the protests and called for the president and other government ministers to step down. That prompted Rajoelina to say that an illegal attempt to seize power was underway in the Indian Ocean island and leave the country.

Biden Was Losing Cognition, Former Chief of Staff Testifies  – Freedomist
Source Link
Excerpt:

The former Chief of Staff of former President Joe Biden, Jeff Zients, went before a congressional panel September 18, 2025, and testified that Biden became increasingly difficult to work with.

Jeff Zients is the last scheduled witness to take questions from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for its investigation into Biden’s fitness while he was in office. Zients said that Dr. Kevin O’Connor told him he would take the suggestion under advisement, according to a person familiar with Zients’ closed-door interview with the committee.

Zients was White House chief of staff from February 2023 to the end of Biden’s term in January 2025. He ignored reporters who peppered him with questions as he walked into the interview with the committee. He told the committee that after Biden’s poor debate performance against Trump, he thought it made sense for the president to drop out of the reelection race.

The House committee has been investigating Biden’s cognitive state and whether staff improperly used the White House autopen for major presidential actions, such as offering clemency to felons, without authorization from the president.

Zients also said the former president’s son, Hunter Biden, was involved in the pardon discussions and attended meetings on the matter, according to the person familiar with the interview. The then-president pardoned Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun crimes.
