Dharmi Mehta was on day four of a Disney Magic cruise when federal agents handcuffed her family's dining host and loaded him into an unmarked van. Forty-five minutes earlier, he had served them breakfast. According to CBP, between April 23 and 27, officers boarded eight cruise ships in San Diego as part of CSAM enforcement. On April 28, HSI executed Operation Tidal Wave, acting on NCMEC intelligence. Combined total: 28 detained, 27 allegedly confirmed involved in exploitation material. Ten reportedly from the Disney Magic. Four from Holland America. For two weeks, the operation was publicly misidentified as an immigration sweep. Disney issued their standard statement. Holland America deflected. And according to KPBS, no charges were filed in either federal district. Every one of the 27 was deported within approximately two weeks. No trial. No registry. No public record. Nearly 200 crew accused across the industry in roughly two years according to Cruise Law News. If the worst consequence is a flight home, what is the deterrent? This is Cruising with Predators, a Hidden Killers investigation.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

From The Babylon Bee "We Asked AI To Show America Without Republicans"Minnesota sent $67 million to 9 daycare centers raided by federal agents, records show.Minnesota paid more than $67 million in public child care subsidies over the past eight years to nine day care providers raided by federal authorities last week as part of a sweeping fraud investigation, according to state data obtained by 5 INVESTIGATES.The payments flowed through the state's Child Care Assistance Program, known as CCAP, which helps low-income families cover the cost of child care. The feds have not filed charges, and investigators have not said how much, if any, of the money paid to those providers may have been fraudulently obtained.Still, the records show dramatic financial growth at the nine centers, while the number of kids they served stayed relatively flat.Over the last two years alone, state payments to the nine providers more than doubled, rising from about $8 million in 2023 to more than $16 million in 2025, according to the data.

Kenneth Strange joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his journey from being a Spanish and English teacher in New York to spending over two decades as a federal agent working some of the most complex cases in the system. After living in Saudi Arabia in the late 1970s, where he witnessed early signs of extremism that shaped his career, Kenneth went on to work with the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Department of Justice. In this episode, he breaks down his 21 years in federal law enforcement, including terrorism investigations, white collar crime cases, and his time in internal affairs. He also shares what he saw from the inside, how these cases are actually handled, and the reality of working within the system. _____________________________________________ #FBI #FederalAgent #TrueCrime #LawEnforcement #CrimeStories #Undercover #Corruption #LockedInPodcast _____________________________________________ Connect with Kenneth Strange: https://kennethstrange.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Inside the FBI & Terrorism Cases (Full Story) 01:12 Growing Up in Brooklyn 02:00 Early Curiosity & Love of Storytelling 03:07 Relationship with My Father 05:32 Education, Language & Early Influences 07:27 Choosing a Career Path 07:41 Teaching in Saudi Arabia & Exposure to Terrorism 13:10 Understanding Terrorism in the Middle East 19:59 Deciding to Serve: FBI vs CIA 25:04 FBI Training & Early Challenges 32:05 First Assignment: Newark & Joint Terrorism Task Force 35:12 Early Terrorism Investigations (IRA Case) 38:09 International Cases & Real Threats 44:30 Inside U.S. Terror Cells & Missed Warnings 57:40 Leaving the FBI & Transition to Fraud Cases 01:04:20 Internal Affairs & Inspector General Work 01:08:42 Bureau of Prisons Investigations & Corruption Cases 01:19:12 Investigating Corruption in Law Enforcement 01:24:13 “Bad Apples” in Policing & Lessons Learned 01:27:03 Border Patrol Corruption Investigations 01:30:03 Retirement, Life Lessons & Final Thoughts _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Palm Sunday – March 29, 2026 – May God's words be spoken, may God's words be heard. Amen. Now, if you've been coming here awhile, than you already know that this should just be Palm Sunday, with the passion being our Holy Week journey. Still, we do include it because Easter without the passion is an empty experience, and some will not be able to attend on Maundy Thursday & Good Friday. And as in past years, the Dzieci Theatre company will push our imaginations, engage our senses, and challenge our assumptions in the second half of our service as they envelope us in the experience of Christ's passion. But, let's not go there yet. Let's give the reading from Matthew, about the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, its due. It's a rather odd telling of this moment. There are cloaks and branches, not palms. Which was also almost our experience too, as these palms we have today got sidetracked by FedEx. And, unlike in the other gospels, Jesus doesn't mount one animal, but two. I mean, you can almost imagine it looking like one of those rodeo tricks – the cowgirl on with a foot on each animal? How the heck is he doing that, and even more to the point – why on earth is he doing that? Well, the short answer is that it ties Jesus directly to messianic prophesy – found not only in Zechariah, as quoted here (and as we heard earlier in the service before the procession), but also in Genesis 49. The author Matthew is making it clear that Jesus is the Messiah whose reign would not end until he drew all people to himself. But this author is also telling us that the people who greet him with praise, did not understand who he is, and the moment they were in. When some asked “Who is this?” Others answered that Jesus was a prophet from Galilee. This sets the stage for what will happen to Jesus. But there is another part to this gospel, something we will see if we read Matthew through the crucifixion to the resurrection. The text says “the whole city was in turmoil asking about him.” Yet the word turmoil is not exactly describing it. The Greek word here is σεισμός, which means earthquake, shaking, big commotion. It occurs again just after his death on the cross, and again as the women get to the tomb. Things aren't just a bit puzzling, everything was moving chaotically. That'll get your attention, just like it did the guards at the cross and the women at the tomb. Does it get ours? Because even while the people in Jerusalem didn't quite get it, the question they ask is one being asked today – of each one of us. The church is being asked to declare who we are as the body of Christ in this earthquake moment in which we together live, where empire crushes the vulnerable. What will be the crowds response if asked about us? Will we show them who we are, as Jesus did, even if they don't understand, even if they turn against us? These are questions for us today on this Palm Sunday, as much as they were for those there in Jerusalem so long ago. Jesus knew this would happen to him – he entered into this city, at this tense moment, opposite the powerful Roman military – and he knew that, while the people in the crowds may not fully understand, his disciples needed to. So, after he enters into the city, Jesus teaches his disciples a number of things, both in word and in deed. First, Jesus goes to the temple, overturns some tables, and heals the sick. Then, he offers them perhaps the most important lesson they, or we, will receive. It was about who he is. Maybe he heard the crowds, or maybe he thought his disciples still didn't understand, so he answered the crowd's question. Using the setting of a final judgement, he said about those who will be declared righteous, “…for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” When perplexed as to how they had done that, the answer came, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” And finally, Jesus takes it a step further, washing the feet of his disciples as a model of servant ministry, a symbol of his commandment to love one another as he loved us. “Who is this?” the crowd asked. “Who is Jesus?” we need to understand the answer to, and it is this: Jesus is the stranger, the imprisoned, the hungry, the sick – the one who overturns the tables of injustice – who heals the broken ones – the loving servant – the crucified one. Why then would he be crucified – how could a government do that to another human being., or how could the people allow it to happen? It is questions like these that make this Passion we will experience here today by Dzieci is so powerful, because it is set – not in the ancient near east – but in the Warsaw ghetto of our 20th century. A Nazi created neighborhood prison, where the death toll among the Jewish inhabitants of is estimated to have been at least 400,000. This setting is a reminder to us of what can happen when we fail to understand who Jesus is as his followers. This is what can happen when we turn our backs on the crosses being erected outside our city walls. When we look at another as being “them” rather than “Him.” When we think – “that'll never happen here – not in the US, not in my neighborhood.” But, the passion sadly isn't something that just happened over 2,000 years ago. The passion is a story happening through the centuries up to this very moment, because Jesus is being crucified all over the world, not only by governments, but by our own greed, hatred, and neglect. The crucifixion of Jesus, is happening today, because today – Jesus is Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Liam Ramos, Lumos Campos, Ruben Ray Martinez, and all the other people killed, injured, unlawfully deported or detained. Jesus is the 150 Iranian girls and other civilians, killed by our bombs, and the US Servicemen and women killed in our unjustified war with Iran. Jesus is the farmer struggling to make ends meet, the mother with no food for her children, and the homeless veteran. Jesus is the LGBTQ+ person rejected by others. Jesus is the Epstein victim and all other women or girls trafficked. Jesus is the person of color afraid to grocery shop or go to school in our country for fear of being disappeared by masked Federal Agents. Jesus is the prisoner, the hungry poor, the neglected, and the oppressed. But on this Palm Sunday, Jesus is also the one who enters into the public sphere with authority and overturns tables, even as empire threatens all around, even as he can see the cross looming ahead for him. What can we learn from all of this? During Lent, a few of us have been reading together a book, “For Such A Time As This: An Emergency Devotional,” by Hanna Reichel. In it, the author writes this: “As a scholar, I have closely studied this nation. It prided itself in its influence in the world, its intellectual leadership, its technological innovation, its economic prowess. But as global orders shifted, its social and political system, built for simpler times, crumbled… Polarization increased and made coalition building ever less feasible. Widening gaps led to social unrest economic instability and even violence in the streets. The nation was overwhelmed and disoriented… Special leaders claiming for themselves special powers rode waves of public disgruntlement against immigrants, intellectuals, and those visibly “other.” Democratic processes were manipulated, checks and balances hollowed out. Executive overreach became the order of the day. The nation I am talking about is Germany; the time is roughly a century ago. But maybe my description sounded familiar to you today. Maybe, like me, you find yourself thinking: we have been here before…We’ve been here before. You won’t like what happens next.” Reichel then asks: “What should the church's response be?” Or, as Matthew might put it: “Who are you?” There were many in the church who complied with the Nazi's, even siding with them. In the decades since, many in Christendom have had to atone for this sinful inhumanity and shameful lack of courage. But there were others – those in what was called the Confessing Church – some of whom came late to it, others who resisted from the start. Deitrich Bonhoeffer is one of the more famous examples, but there were far more. But something Bonhoeffer was very clear about, “…the church is not a building, but is also not a people. It is the body of Christ.”[1] And as the body of Christ in the world, we too need to enter our proverbial Jerusalem – not on military horses with weapons, but as Jesus did – with a message of hope, healing, grace, and love – and some righteous anger to topple the tables of injustice too. And that is what many of us were a part of yesterday in the latest “No Kings” march – the largest single day of protest in the history of the United States – with 8 million people and rising in every state, and nearly every single county across our country. Joining with others of different faiths, or none at all, we were proclaiming that might does not make right – that we will not bend the knee to any President. In signs and voice, we said we will not turn our backs on our neighbors – immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ+, women, children, the poor. We will not allow them to be crucified. We will protect them, love them, and stand by their side. Because in them, we see Jesus, and we are called to love and serve him – not any imagined earthly “King.” And for me and many other parts of the body of Christ, we also proclaimed emphatically that Christian Nationalism is a heresy. Jesus did not enter Jerusalem to cooperate with Rome, or align himself with Pilate – and neither will we allow him to be used as a tool of the powerful to oppress the vulnerable. We didn't create the σεισμός – we WERE the earthquake! Did we do this weapons or violence? No. We did this the same way Jesus did and for the same reason too. Mercy and love is what shakes the city to its core, not abusive power. Think of how our own empire today wanted protestors to become violent – doing all they could to provoke them so the Insurrection Act could be brought out., and the people subdued by violence. But, Portland Oregon showed us the way – they came in inflatable frog costumes. Why? Maybe for the same reason Jesus enters Jerusalem on two animals. Not because this isn't a serious moment. No. Instead to meet the moment – to meet violence and hostility with love and joy. In protests since Portland, violence and power have been met with shouts of kindness, songs, and peaceful opposition. And you know what? That is the scariest thing any dictator could ever see. Jesus knew that too. And so, as the body of Christ today, many of us met that moment yesterday, and have been for many, many years. And we will keep doing it too. We must, because if we do not, then we are as clueless as those in Jerusalem so long ago as to who Jesus is, and who we are as his followers. Reichel in that same book ,when talking about what we do here on Sundays, said “There is no gathering without sending. The miracle of real community is a special blessing that strengthens us for everyday existence…The cross is a part of Christian life. Where we try to avoid it, we just end up putting others on it…The Christian belongs out in the world. Blessing turns into temptation when we use community to escape the world…” Or, as I have said for years – going to church on Sunday is not the destination, it is where we get strength for the journey – the journey to Jerusalem. And so we have a question to ask ourselves this Palm Sunday – the same one asked about Jesus. Who are we as the body of Christ? In this time of empire and oppression, when Christ is being crucified will we head to Jerusalem to overturn the tables of injustice? In this time of σεισμός, where it seems the world we knew is falling apart, will we move into the danger with grace and humility, love and righteous anger? Because make no mistake about it – The cross IS a part of the Christian life. The Christian belongs out in the world – and each and every one of you – every follower of Jesus – was made for such a time as this. Amen. [1] “For Such A Time,” Reichel.

Episode 103 Across Massachusetts, a series of fires began targeting places tied to faith and patriotism — Protestant churches, American Legion halls, and other community institutions closely associated with “God and country.” From the beginning, investigators knew they were dealing with arson. At scene after scene, the same method appeared: windows smashed to gain entry, gasoline used as an accelerant, and fires intentionally set inside the buildings. The pattern was obvious, but proving the same person was responsible for all of them was another matter entirely. For a long time, investigators had little more than the method of operation linking the fires together. Then the suspect made a mistake. At one scene, a hammer was left behind — a small piece of evidence that investigators were able to connect to another fire through forensic analysis. It was the first physical link tying two of the crimes together. But even then, most of the fires remained connected only by pattern, timing, and method. The investigation would continue until the suspect was finally caught in the act, bringing an end to a string of arsons that had targeted both houses of worship and patriotic institutions across the state. In this episode of Crime to Burn, we break down the investigation, the forensic evidence, and how investigators ultimately stopped a serial firestarter. Buy Burn Boston Burn by Wayne M.

Austinites are concerned about police accountability, especially with the increased presence of federal troops in many cities. DC Council in Washington recently passed emergency legislation requiring local police to release body-worn camera footage of incidents involving federal forces they patrol with, and to collect the names of federal officers who make arrests. It's a big shift in local policy, partially motivated by the fact that local cops have damaged their reputation by patrolling with feds. City Cast Chicago podcast host Jacoby Cochran talks with City Cast DC podcast co-host and executive editor Mike Schaffer about the political stakes involved, the effectiveness of body cameras, and how Washingtonians are dealing with the heavy federal law enforcement presence.

The current state of national security is under scrutiny as the Department of Justice and FBI face significant internal changes. Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are overseeing a systematic removal of experienced personnel, specifically targeting those involved in previous high profile investigations. This purge has resulted in the loss of elite agents within the CI12 unit who possess critical expertise regarding Iran and global espionage. The timing of these firings is particularly concerning given the recent escalation of military conflict and the launch of Operation Epic Fury. While conventional military strikes dominate the news, the silent threat of cyber warfare looms. Iran is recognized for its advanced cyber capabilities, often retaliating through malware and intrusions into critical infrastructure like water systems and energy networks. The loss of institutional memory and veteran leadership, including figures like Steve Jensen and Brian Driscoll, leaves domestic defenses in a state of disarray. Loyalty tests and political questionnaires have replaced professional merit, leading to a decline in morale and a potential breakdown in intelligence sharing with international allies. Google's threat intelligence experts warn that global cyber attacks are inevitable. As the FBI's foreign influence task force is disbanded and leadership roles remain vacant, the ability to connect the dots and prevent future incidents is severely compromised. The focus on personal retribution over national safety has created a vulnerable attack surface, leaving the country exposed during a period of intense Middle East volatility.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg discusses immigration enforcement, the role of government, and why federal agencies are losing public trust.

In October, a Philadelphia man emailed an attorney for the Department of Homeland Security, criticizing a government policy. Hours later, federal agents and local police were banging on his door to interrogate him without a warrant. It feels like something out of a movie, but it's real. Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with ACLU attorney Steve Loney to ask some big questions: How are federal agencies obtaining your private data without a warrant? How are tech giants like Google enabling them? And what should you do if this happens to you? For a full transcript of the episode, click here.

Hold up, so who’s allowed to carry a gun and who is not, because we thought y’all were supposed to be all about the second amendment??

I am confident that Brett has the expertise to QUICKLY fix the long history of issues at the BLS on behalf of the American People. Brett Matsumoto is a Brilliant, Reputable, and Trusted Economist who will restore GREATNESS to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Congratulations Brett! https://twitter.com/USTradeRep/status/2017747044350280104?s=20      extensive research in the field of Economics and Finance. Kevin issued an Independent Report to the Bank of England proposing reforms in the conduct of Monetary Policy in the United Kingdom. Parliament adopted the Report’s recommendations. Kevin Warsh became the youngest Fed Governor, ever, at 35, and served as a Member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from 2006 until 2011, as the Federal Reserve’s Representative to the Group of Twenty (G-20), and as the Board’s Emissary to the Emerging and Advanced Economies in Asia. In addition, he was Administrative Governor, managing and overseeing the Board’s operations, personnel, and financial performance. Prior to his appointment to the Board, from 2002 until 2006, Kevin served as Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and Executive Secretary of the White House National Economic Council. Previously, Kevin was a member of the Mergers & Acquisitions Department at Morgan Stanley & Co., in New York, serving as Vice President and Executive Director. I have known Kevin for a long period of time, and have no doubt that he will go down as one of the GREAT Fed Chairmen, maybe the best. On top of everything else, he is “central casting,” and he will never let you down. Congratulations Kevin! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP Warsh has compared Bitcoin favorably to gold as a “sustainable store of value,” indicating a positive view of gold’s role in the financial system.  However, his nomination led to sharp declines in gold and silver prices (e.g., silver fell up to 26% in one day), as markets interpreted him as an inflation hawk who might pursue tighter monetary policy, reducing the appeal of precious metals as inflation hedges.  This reaction stemmed from fears of less dovish Fed actions, which had previously driven gold’s rally amid uncertainty over Fed independence.  Warsh’s broader hawkish stance on inflation aligns with “hard money” principles that could indirectly support gold, but his emphasis on shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet and normalizing policy suggests he prioritizes institutional reform over promoting gold as a standard. Is Kevin Warsh Pro-Sound Money?Yes, Warsh is a strong advocate for sound money principles, emphasizing disciplined, anti-inflationary monetary policy. He views inflation as a “monetary phenomenon” and “a choice” driven by excessive government printing and spending.  As a former Fed Governor, he was often the most hawkish voice, opposing aggressive rate cuts during crises due to inflation risks.  He criticizes the Fed’s “mission creep,” oversized balance sheet, and reliance on quantitative easing (QE), arguing these enable fiscal irresponsibility and distort markets. Warsh calls for “regime change” at the Fed, shifting away from Keynesian models toward rules-based policy that incorporates money supply considerations and reduces interventionism. He stresses credibility, clear rules, and accountability to maintain sound money.   In a 2025 Hoover Institution paper, he advocated scrutinizing monetary policy under a framework that could include constitutional measures for prosperity and idea diffusion. Warsh has been vocal against Powell’s leadership, echoing Trump’s frustrations with high interest rates and calling for “regime change” at the Fed. He has moderated his hawkish stance to support lower rates, arguing AI-driven productivity allows growth without inflation. Credibility and Market Reassurance: Warsh is seen as a “traditional” pick with Fed experience, reassuring investors amid fears of a loyalist appointment that could undermine independence. Trump highlighted Warsh’s ability to deliver lower rates and growth, though some economists note Warsh’s independence could lead to tensions if he prioritizes data over demands. Analysts suggest the pick balances Trump’s desire for cuts with a credible figure.

The administration has filed suit against an illegal migrant living in Virginia, and is seeking $941,114 plus interest, alleging that Marta Alicia Ramirez Veliz has remained in the country despite being told her request for admittance was rejected by a Justice Department appeals panel in 2022, Politico reported. The filing notes that Veliz has refused to pay a $998 per-day fine for the 943 days since she was told to return to her home country, and reveals that Immigration and Customs Enforcement sent her an official notice of her total fine in April. The lawsuit describes Veliz as “an individual and noncitizen residing in Chesterfield County, Virginia,” and does not identify her nationality. source: breitbart.com https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2017404446230323358?s=20 BREAKING: Disturbing photos in the Epstein files appear to show Prince Andrew on all fours over a woman lying on the ground. https://twitter.com/HansMahncke/status/2017792445979791448?s=20   for everyone, or is connected through some opaque web of professional and personal ties. A supposedly random figure from the squalor of Uganda rises all the way to mayor of New York, only for it to later emerge that his mother is deeply embedded in elite circles. The same pattern shows up again and again. James Comey's daughter just happened to be a lead federal prosecutor on the Epstein case. The judge who presided over the trial of Hillary Clinton's lawyer, the one who helped seed the Russiagate hoax, is married to Lisa Page's lawyer. Page, of course, was involved with Peter Strzok, who is one of the central figures in that same hoax. And to complete the circle, Merrick Garland officiated their wedding. None of this requires conspiracy theories. It requires only acknowledging how small, closed, and self-protecting these elite worlds are. Fix elite incestuousness, and a lot of other problems will disappear on their own. https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2017734119334232544?s=20 https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2017474860700877105?s=20   https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2017762585878069630?s=20 https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2017694490614763591?s=20   written from Nikolic's perspective. At the time, Nikolic was Gates's top scientific investment advisor. The emails suggest Gates was firing Nikolic in response to marital problems with Melinda. In June 2013, Nikolic emailed Gates and asked if he wanted to go to the “legendary Crazy Horse in Paris” an erotic show, while they were in France. Gates declined, saying he would be too tired and didn't want to take the risk, adding that he might have done it when he was younger. On July 1, 2013, Gates emailed Nikolic: “We should meet on Wednesday to discuss your job. There is going to have to be a transition. I feel very bad about it but I don’t see a way around it.” Nikolic shared these emails with Epstein. Epstein later commented on the Paris erotic show email, writing: “This is pretty bad and might have been the cause of her bad mail in paris.”—apparently referring to Melinda. Nikolic appeared unhappy about being fired while potentially being used as a scapegoat, and he sought greater financial compensation as he prepared to leave and launch his own investment fund. In these emails, Epstein—writing as Nikolic—references alleged knowledge of Gates's extramarital affairs, STDs allegedly contracted from Russian women, and drug use as justification for why Nikolic deserved more money. Taken together, it appears Jeffrey Epstein was drafting or shaping a message for Boris Nikolic that effectively functioned as blackmail, pressuring Bill Gates for financial compensation. It remains unclear whether Nikolic ultimately sent these messages to Gates. However, later emails suggest Gates helped Nikolic launch his next investment fund and maintained a working relationship with him afterward. Epstein later listed Nikolic as a backup executor of his will, indicating the two were close confidants. https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/2017769194159210784?s=20 Billionaire Reid Hoffman, Who Bankrolled the E. Jean Carroll Lawsuit Against Trump, Is Featured Extensively in the New Epstein Files, Visiting Zorro Ranch and Pedophile Island  Hoffman went to the Island. A man who used his fortune to bankroll a lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump is now featured extensively in the new DOJ-released Jeffrey Epstein documents. The three and a half million documents from the latest – and apparently last – have been released by the DOJ following the approval of the House Resolution 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Documents from this massive release show the close ties between LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and the late pedophile. The pair ‘discusses visits to Epstein's infamous private island, his New Mexico ranch, and his New York apartment'. The New York Post reported: “'Reid will spend the night at 71st', according to one email from Hoffman's team included in the latest Justice Department dump of Epstein files, in reference to his Upper East Side townhouse.”   A 2014 memo states that Epstein hosted will have (venture capitalist) Joi Ito and Reid Hoffman on the infamous Zorro Ranch for a weekend. “An email Epstein penned to his assistant Saida Sapieva under the heading ‘Trip to the Island' states: ‘Reid will take a Virgin America Flight from SFO to Fort Lauderdale, departing at 8:20 am, landing at 4:40 pm'. In 2023, Hoffman visited to Epstein's former Caribbean private island, Little St. James, also known as ‘pedophile island', The Post previously reported.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2017106848311366064?s=20 https://twitter.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/2017789344103145647?s=20   https://twitter.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/2017772724093849926?s=20     https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2017930408650772495?s=20 https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/2017329765863039432?s=20       Israel had Trump by the balls so much that… Epstein was arrested?

Wolff, who's a 3rd rate writer, was conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to hurt me politically or otherwise…” Don't fall for all the clickbait doomers pushing the anti-Trump narratives. It's all bullshit. Lots of people not looking good though after today's release. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. To muddy the waters is an idiom that means to make a situation, issue, or discussion more confusing, unclear, or complicated—often deliberately. For example: “The politician’s vague statements only muddied the waters during the debate.” It originates from the idea of stirring up mud in water, making it murky and hard to see through. DOGE Geopolitical War/Peace Iran Hits Back At EU: Designates European Armies As ‘Terrorist Entities’ Iran is saying two can play at the West’s game: on Friday the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council blasted the EU’s decision to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a “terrorist organization,” warning that Europe’s own militaries would now be viewed through the same lens. “The European Union certainly knows that… the armies of countries that have participated in the European Union’s recent resolution against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are considered terrorist entities,” Ali Larijani wrote in a post on X. He added bluntly: “Therefore, the consequences of that shall be borne by the European countries that undertook such an action.” However, there’s probably nothing in the way of European military assets for the Islamic Republic to sanction, so this ‘action’ by Tehran will remain largely symbolic. Iran does have assets held in various places of Europe though. EU foreign ministers agreed on Thursday to formally classify the IRGC as a “terrorist organization” and urged member states to implement the designation without delay – after a few longtime holdouts flipped. source: zerohedge.com [DS] Agenda https://twitter.com/rhodeislander/status/2017361344018739231?s=20 https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2017331445195211254?s=20   at Place of Worship COUNT 2: 18 U.S.C. § 248(a) (b), § §2(a) – FACE Act: Injure, Intimidate, and Interfere with Exercise of Right of Religious Freedom at a Place of Worship.

Maxine Waters (D-CA) was in Los Angeles on Friday, inciting her radical left followers to riot against law enforcement before several were arrested.  Rioters were seen hurling objects at shielded federal agents who pushed back with pepper balls and nonlethal munitions.

Over 100 Los Angeles Police officers reportedly responded in riot gear to quell the violence. Multiple videos circulating on social media show Maxine Waters at the front lines of the riot as leftists were told to disperse for surrounding the federal building, trespassing on federal property, and later assaulting federal officers. After pepper spray was deployed, Waters returned to the front of the riot with a mask and continued leading the insurrection. Waters was seen pulling up to the scene early in the day in a black SUV before stepping out to rally her troops, flailing her arms and leading chants of “ICE Out of LA.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/DOGEai_tx/status/2017736355665641700?s=20   Martinez's gang alliance pitch isn't just reckless; it's a calculated distraction from ICE's indiscriminate sweeps that tear families apart over paperwork.

Republicans, don't let these Crooked Democrats, who are stealing Billions of Dollars from Minnesota, and other Cities and States from all over the Country, push you around. They are using this aggressive protest SCAM to obfuscate, camouflage, and hide their CRIMINAL ACTS of theft and insurrection. They should all be in jail. I was elected on Strong Borders, and Law and Order, among many other things. Thank you to Secretary Kristi Noem. Remember, ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP     Federal Government Property. There will be no spitting in the faces of our Officers, there will be no punching or kicking the headlights of our cars, and there will be no rock or brick throwing at our vehicles, or at our Patriot Warriors. If there is, those people will suffer an equal, or more, consequence. In the meantime, by copy of this Statement, I am informing Local Governments, as I did in Los Angeles when they were rioting at the end of the Biden Term, that you must protect your own State and Local Property. In addition, it is your obligation to also protect our Federal Property, Buildings, Parks, and everything else. We are there to protect Federal Property, only as a back up, in that it is Local and State Responsibility to do so. Last night in Eugene, Oregon, these criminals broke into a Federal Building, and did great damage, also scaring and harassing the hardworking employees. Local Police did nothing in order to stop it. We will not let that happen anymore! If Local Governments are unable to handle the Insurrectionists, Agitators, and Anarchists, we will immediately go to the location where such help is requested, and take care of the situation very easily and methodically, just as we did the Los Angeles Riots one year ago, where the Police Chief said that, “We couldn't have done it without the help of the Federal Government.” Therefore, to all complaining Local Governments, Governors, and Mayors, let us know when you are ready, and we will be there — But, before we do so, you must use the word, “PLEASE.” Remember that I stated, in the strongest of language, to BEWARE — ICE, Border Patrol or, if necessary, our Military, will be extremely powerful and tough in the protection of our Federal Property. We will not allow our Courthouses, Federal Buildings, or anything else under our protection, to be damaged in any way, shape, or form. I was elected on a Policy of Border Control (which has now been perfected!), National Security, and LAW AND ORDER — That's what America wants, and that's what America is getting! Thank you for your attention to this matter.   PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP he will use DHS/ICE and, if necessary, the US MIL to protect federal property. It sounds like Trump knows something is coming. It sounds like the Dems want DHS/ICE to get caught up in policing these riots, hoping more of their deranged followers take it too far and get shot. Trump is instead going to hold and force local Democrat politicians to police their own riots, or agree to work with him. And if the Dems choose to not police these riots, they will force Trump to use the US MIL to suppress the chaos.  https://twitter.com/unseen1_unseen/status/2017334056292143173?s=20 https://twitter.com/StephenM/status/2017585812599087241?s=20   EXCLUSIVE: Atlanta Field Office Special Agent in Charge Allegedly Removed For Slow-Walking Election Fraud Investigation  Reports are emerging on social media that Paul Brown, the FBI Special Agent in Charge at the Atlanta Field Office, was “forced out of that job earlier this month,” according to MSNOW's Ken Dilanian.

In breaking news, independent journalist Don Lemon has been arrested by Federal Agents while covering the Grammy Awards in LA last night. Michael Popok explains how 3 separate Courts in Minnesota, from the Magistrate to the Chief Judge to 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, all rejected an attempt to arrest Don and recognized his First Amendment Rights as a journalist. Yet the Trump DOJ, to distract from the en masse resignations planned in the Minneapolis US Attorneys' Office to protest the refusal to properly investigate the Pretti and Good murders, has now vindictively gone after Don.

FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: – Alex Pretti Murdered by Federal Agents, Conservatives Divided in Their Response – Representatives Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost Attacked, Conservatives call it “Staged” – NLP Minneapolis Town Hall RECAP – Senate Dems to Close Government Over DHS Funding – Kanye Apologizes (to everyone) After Alex Pretti was murdered by a CBP officer in Minneapolis, conservatives in the Trump administration were quick to call Alex an assassin and a terrorist, in particular because he showed up to a protest with a gun. Hold up, so who’s allowed to carry a gun and who is not, because we thought y’all were supposed to be all about the second amendment?? They want some of us to have our rights, and others… not so much. The Black community is all too familiar with this phenomenon.

This week, Alex focuses on what comes next — from conditions at ICE detention centers, to the long-term impacts this lawless use of force will have on communities.

Then she's joined by MS NOW Political and National Correspondent, Jacob Soboroff, to talk about what he's seeing on the ground in Minneapolis, how Trump 2.0 immigration enforcement compares to the family separation policy he covered during the first term, and his new book “Firestorm: The Great Los Angeles Fires and America's New Age of Disaster”.

All three people involved ran into a nearby apartment and barricaded themselves inside, DHS officials said.During a later press conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara stated that their department received a 911 call at around 6:51 p.m. about the shooting.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Since an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, President Trump and MAGA have labeled her a “domestic terrorist” and come up with one reason after another to justify her death.

Then she speaks to The Bulwark's Tim Miller to question the parallel realities Americans seem to be living in, despite ample video footage, and even in cases of life and death.
