Craig Unger explains the infrastructure of the alleged treason, focusing on the Safari Club, a group of high-level intelligence officials who conducted "off-the-books" operations after the CIA faced congressional crackdowns in the 1970s. Bill Casey utilized this shadow network, employing his close friend John Shaheen as a "cutout" to facilitate meetings with Iranian arms dealers without attracting media attention. Unger reveals that the Hashemi brothers, who were ostensibly helping the Carter administration negotiate for the hostages, were actually double agents working for Casey. This covert channel was further supported by Israeli military intelligence (Aman), which confirmed that source Ari Ben-Menashe was indeed an operative and that a secret arms channel existed between Israel and Iran. Unger argues that Israel's participation in sabotaging the American election was a significant secret they went to great lengths to hide. The operation reportedly involved money laundering through front businesses to finance the illegal arms deals. (5/8)1920 BUSHEHR

An inmate who raised concerns about the treatment Ghislaine Maxwell was allegedly receiving behind bars was reportedly disciplined after speaking out, drawing renewed attention to claims that Maxwell was being treated differently from the average federal prisoner. The reporting described accusations that Maxwell had access to privileges and accommodations that other inmates did not receive, leading some prisoners and outside observers to question whether prison officials were extending special treatment because of her notoriety and connections. The inmate who complained allegedly faced repercussions after bringing those concerns forward, adding another layer of scrutiny to the way prison authorities have managed Maxwell since her conviction.The claims surrounding Maxwell's treatment have continued to follow her throughout her incarceration, particularly after her move to a lower-security federal prison camp in Texas. Critics have pointed to reports alleging she received favorable conditions, including access and freedoms that appeared inconsistent with normal prison restrictions.to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Associate Ghislaine Maxwell Exposed By Inmates For 'Queen Bee' Treatment - Private Chapel Access, Unlimited Toilet Paper, Armed Guards | IBTimes UK

The government of the United States Virgin Islands aggressively pursued Jeffrey Epstein's estate after his death, arguing that the estate owed the territory millions of dollars connected to taxes, penalties, and alleged criminal conduct tied to Epstein's operations on Little St. James and Great St. James. USVI officials sought to place liens on estate assets as part of a broader effort to recover money they argued was tied to Epstein's trafficking enterprise and years of alleged abuse carried out within the territory. The territory's attorneys argued that Epstein had used shell companies, financial maneuvering, and complex business structures to shield assets while benefiting from lax oversight in the Virgin Islands. Officials also accused Epstein's estate executors and affiliated entities of attempting to move or protect assets before victims and authorities could fully recover damages, leading to a fierce legal battle over who would control the estate's remaining wealth and how those assets would be distributed.Epstein's estate pushed back hard against the USVI's efforts, challenging both the legality and scope of the requested liens. Attorneys for the estate argued that the government was overreaching and attempting to improperly seize assets before claims had been fully litigated or validated in court. The estate also claimed that many of the financial penalties and proposed liabilities being asserted by the USVI were speculative, inflated, or lacked sufficient legal basis. Lawyers for the executors maintained that the estate had already established compensation funds for victims and was cooperating with civil proceedings, while simultaneously disputing the government's attempts to broaden its financial claims. The dispute evolved into a prolonged court fight over taxation, asset control, jurisdictional authority, and whether the Virgin Islands government itself had failed for years to properly scrutinize Epstein's activities while he openly operated within the territory.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Cattle Industry News Florida Restricts Animal Imports From Texas A dangerous livestock pest that hasn't been seen in the United States for years is raising new concerns—this time along the southern border. The New World screwworm is a parasitic fly whose larvae feed on the living flesh of animals, most often cattle. While infections in humans are rare, they can be serious—and in extreme cases, even fatal. Right now, there are no confirmed cases in the U.S. But Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller says a case has been detected just across the border about 60 miles south of Texas. That proximity is enough to trigger action more than a thousand miles away. Florida officials are now tightening restrictions on livestock coming from six counties in South Texas: Zapata, Jim Hogg, Starr, Hidalgo, Webb, and Brooks counties. Any animals brought in from those areas must undergo additional veterinary inspections and, if needed, treatment before entering the state. Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson says the state is taking no chances. He warned that if the screwworm takes hold, it could have serious economic and animal health consequences. He's also urging ranchers, veterinarians, and animal health workers to stay alert and report anything unusual right away. Here's how the pest works: adult flies lay eggs in open wounds or natural openings on an animal's body. When those eggs hatch, the larvae—commonly known as maggots—burrow into the tissue and begin feeding. According to the CDC, the infestation can worsen quickly if not treated. Texas officials say Florida's response makes sense. The state dealt with a screwworm outbreak in the past, and the memory of that damage still lingers. Meanwhile, as a precaution, the U.S. has shut down livestock trade through ports of entry along the southern border. There are also long-term plans in motion to stop the pest before it spreads. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is building a sterile fly production facility at Moore Air Base in Edinburg, Texas. The idea is to release sterilized male flies into the wild. Since female screwworms mate only once, this strategy helps prevent reproduction and gradually reduces the population. That facility is expected to be up and running by November of 2027. For now, officials say vigilance is key. Even without confirmed cases in the U.S., the threat is close enough to be taken seriously.  REFERENCE: https://www.ktep.org/2026-04-27/florida-is-restricting-animal-imports-from-texas-amid-screwworm-threat FAIR Labels Act Ensures Transparent Alt Protein Labeling Representatives from Missouri, Texas, Nebraska, Idaho and Wisconsin, reintroduced the Fair and Accurate Ingredient Representation on Labels (FAIR Labels) Act in the House to add transparency in food labeling for alternative protein products.  The legislation will provide consumers with clear and accurate information about plant-based and cell-cultivated protein products when making purchasing decisions. Sens. Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.) and John Fetterman (D-Pa.) sponsored the Senate version of the bill. The FAIR Labels Act: Defines "cell-cultivated" and "plant-based alternative" protein products to help consumers easily identify these products. Provides a clear definition of cell-cultivated protein products to ensure labels accurately reflect lab-grown food sources. Requires product labels to use terms like "cell cultivated" or "plant based" and to bear a clear disclaimer if the product does not contain meat or poultry or was not derived from a live animal. Directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture to oversee the labeling of these products, working alongside the Food & Drug Administration to maintain product inspection standards. Confirms the shared jurisdiction of FDA and USDA in overseeing cell-cultivated protein products, and requires the secretaries of agriculture and health and human services to jointly revise their 2019 current memorandum of understanding. NCBA President and Virginia cattle producer Gene Copenhaver said that currently, there is no federal statute for labeling cell-cultivated protein products in the marketplace. For far too long, lab-grown protein companies have exploited the use of terms like ‘meat' and ‘beef' to describe their products, creating the potential for consumer confusion through misleading marketing.  He went on to say that “The FAIR Labels Act will establish a federal guideline for labeling cell-cultivated and plant-based alternative protein products, ensuring consumers can easily differentiate these products from real beef products produced by U.S. cattlemen and cattlewomen.”  REFERENCE: https://www.feedstuffs.com/policy/fair-labels-act-ensures-transparent-alt-protein-labeling Pseudorabies In Iowa & Texas For the first time since being eradicated in the U.S. Commercial swine herds in 2004, pseudorabies (PRV) have been confirmed in herds in Iowa and Texas (Shike, 2026). A small commercial swine facility in Iowa was confirmed to have positive cases of PRV by the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the National Veterinary Services Laboratories during routine testing. Officials at APHIS, in collaboration with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the Texas Animal Health Commission, revealed that five affected boars in the Iowa facility originated from an outdoor production site in Texas (Shike, 2026). It is believed that the initial infection on the outdoor production site in Texas may have been a result of unintentional contact with feral swine. Pseudorabies virus was eradicated from the U.S. commercial swine herd in 2004. However, it is critically important to remember that PRV is endemic in the feral swine populations around the U.S. An APHIS release stated, “Pseudorabies is still found in wild or feral swine populations, which remain a potential threat of exposure for domestic pigs.” REFERENCE:  https://www.aphis.usda.gov/news/agency-announcements/usda-confirms-pseudorabies-swine-herds-iowa-texas https://extension.sdstate.edu/pseudorabies-detected-iowa-and-texas-swine-farms-prevention-tips-clinical-signs-and-testing Featured Experts in the Cattle Industry Steve Kenyon - The World Famous Miles City Bucking Horse Sale https://buckinghorsesale.com/ Follow On Facebook: @BuckingHorseSale Shaye Wanner – Host of Casual Cattle Conversation https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/ Follow on Facebook: @cattleconvos Contact Us with Questions or Concerns Have questions or feedback?

//The Wire//2300Z May 08, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: UNITED ARAB EMIRATES CONDUCTS STRIKES IN IRAN, IRANIAN RETALIATION STRIKES TARGET DUBAI AND SHIPPING IN THE STRAIT. USA INCREASES TARGETING AND INTERDICTION OPERATIONS IN THE GULF OF OMAN. MAJOR FIRE REPORTED AT REFINERY IN LOUISIANA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: Overnight, multiple targeting efforts took place in the Strait of Hormuz. The United Arab Emirates conducted multiple airstrikes in Iran, targeting facilities on Qeshm Island as well as the port of Bandar Abbas. This attack was reportedly conducted in conjunction with the United States (or with some US support), and resulted in Iranian counterattacks on the UAE as several drones and missile attacks were reported in Dubai. Officials did not state how many munitions hit their targets, however "3 moderate injuries" were reported on the ground in the UAE as a result of this first wave of attacks.As the fighting continued throughout the night, the UAE traded bombs and missiles with Iran for a few hours, and several merchant ships in the Strait were also struck. American warships struck a total of three merchant vessels throughout the region (possibly to include in the Strait itself) overnight, all of which were empty tanker vessels attempting to run the American blockade to onload a cargo of oil from Iranian ports. Similarly, the Iranians also reportedly hit several merchant vessels, though which ones remain unknown at the moment.After the shooting subsided in the early hours of this morning, the Iranians seized a tanker in the Gulf of Oman. The M/T OCEAN KOI (IMO: 9255933) was boarded by the IRGCN for allegedly "taking advantage of regional conditions to damage and disrupt Iran's oil exports and the interests of the Iranian nation".Analyst Comment: It's not clear as to why this vessel was boarded, as this is one of Iran's own shadow tankers which has been on the sanctions list for many years, and has previously helped export Iran's oil in violation of international sanctions. Her most recent name is the M/V JIN LI and last night she was inbound to the Persian Gulf to take on a cargo of Iranian oil at Iran's own ports. At the moment, the best guess is that the Iranians might have discovered that the oil was going to an unauthorized end customer and thus conducted the boarding. However it's also possible that during the events of the night, the Iranians needed to assert dominance, so they took the only ship that was within their reach, which happened to be one of their own.-HomeFront-Louisiana: This afternoon a major fire was reported at the PBF Chalmette Refinery. The cause of the fire has not been released, and as of this report firefighters are attempting to bring the fire under control. This facility is a comparatively smaller refinery that produces almost 200,000 bbl/d and in 2021, $550 million was invested in this facility to covert an older unit to produce diesel.Analyst Comment: Fires at refineries are more common than one might think, but this is the second fire at a refinery in the same area in a week's time. A few miles to the west, Shell reported a fire at their Norco facility last week, which was the result of a gas leak.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: At this point, it is hard to argue that the ceasefire is still in effect in the Middle East, but that definition probably doesn't matter at this point. Over the past 48 hours, multiple offensive actions have taken place throughout the region. Nevertheless, as CJCS Gen. Caine said yesterday, these attacks are "below the threshold" for the United States to consider the ceasefire violated. The effect of this policy is two-fold: For one, gas prices don't spike by admitting the war is back on, and two, Oman and the UAE (the nations getting hit by the Iranians) are rather slighted by attacks o

Officials have leaked word to The Washington Post that they believe Iran can survive Donald Trump's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz for three to four months without experiencing severe economic pain. Also, Iran has kept far more of its missiles and drones than previously known. Those are surely his worst screw-ups yet, given that he's repeatedly insisted both that the regime is in terminal collapse and that Iran's military has been obliterated. This comes as The Wall Street Journal reports that his advisers are increasingly unnerved by the political price Republicans will pay over the closed strait. Those are related: The new revelations suggest the war could go on longer than expected, which is exactly what his advisers fear will worsen the GOP's political mess. We talked to New Republic staff writer Tim Noah, who's been writing well about Trump's failures. We discuss why the war's political fallout could last many months, how Trump voters are facing a perfect storm of disastrous policies, and what to expect in the midterms.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

The Trump administration has officially released the first batch of declassified UFO files under the new PURSUE system, marking a historic moment in the government's long-running discussion around UFOs, UAPs, and public transparency.The initial release includes 162 declassified documents, videos, photos, and pilot accounts, with records tied to agencies including the Pentagon, NASA, the FBI, and others. Highlights reportedly include Apollo-era transcripts, lunar-surface imagery, military sightings, international reports, and unresolved UAP cases from locations including Greece, Iraq, Japan, and the United States. But here's the key question: Is this real disclosure — or just the first carefully controlled step?Officials say the files are meant to end decades of speculation surrounding hidden government records, while skeptics argue many cases may have ordinary explanations such as camera artifacts, sensor errors, drones, aircraft, or natural phenomena. The government's own release describes the materials as unresolved cases, meaning officials are not making definitive claims about what the objects are. In this video, we break down what was released, what was not released, why this matters, and whether this historic UFO disclosure raises more questions than it answers.Watch until the end, because the biggest story may not be what's inside this first batch — it may be what's still coming next.GET THE RESEARCH NOTES IN THIS VIDEO FREE: https://professornez.kit.com/ufotrumpFor free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez✅ Reach out to me: https://bio.site/professornez✅ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/✅ Check out our Official Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@professornezclips▶ Support the Channel and Buy us a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/professornezEducational Commentary & Original AnalysisReporting Framework: This analysis utilizes a Comparative Statutory Model, cross-referencing executive Truth Social communications with established Brandenburg Standard precedents.

Photo: A semi-truck carrying uranium ore from the Pinyon Plain Mine is parked near Shonto on the Navajo Nation after a collision on May 6, 2026. (Courtesy Navajo Police Department) The Navajo Police Department responded Wednesday to a crash involving a semi-truck carrying uranium ore from the Grand Canyon's South Rim to a mill in Utah. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more on the first reported incident since hauling began nearly two years ago. The accident occurred about a half mile east of Highway 160 and state Route 98 near Shonto in Navajo County. Officials say an SUV tried passing another vehicle, striking the passenger-side tire and bumper of the uranium truck bound for Blanding, Utah. The tribe's Environmental Protection Agency, along with the Pinyon Plain Mine, which is owned by Energy Fuels, were notified. Using a gamma radiation detector, they inspected the crash site, concluding no radioactive material leaked. The collision sent two people in the SUV to a local hospital with injuries, while the truck driver was unharmed. Tracy Day's daughter Kaelyn Schneider hugs MMIP advocate Jamiann S'eiltin Hasselquist at the Kaasei Healing Kootéeyaa on May 5, 2025. (Photo: Yvonne Krumrey / KTOO) Juneau, Alaska woman Tracy Day has been missing for more than seven years. And while her disappearance has become a rallying cry for MMIP in Juneau, her daughter also wants people to know who she was before she went missing. KTOO's Yvonne Krumrey has more. Kaelyn Schnieder says her mom was always finding new adventures for the family to go on. The house she grew up in in Sitka, Alaska was spotless and Day was taking night classes to be a nurse. Her struggles with mental health came later. “But I feel like, when she went missing, everybody was like, ‘Oh, she’s living in St Vincent. And like, she’s a mentally ill addict.' It was just not the way I wanted people to see her, because my mom was a wonderful parent, and she wasn’t always sick.” Schneider says when she was a young child, she was the victim of child sex abuse by her friend's father. After Day found out what had happened, she blamed herself for trusting the family. Schneider believes it triggered Day's mental health issues. “It changed her brain chemistry, you know. So that’s, like, the best way I could explain it.” Schneider thinks that changed the trajectory of her mother's life. Tracy Day has been missing since February 14, 2019. (Courtesy Juneau Police Department) Day struggled with mental illness and substance abuse, but Schneider wants people to know her mom the way she remembers her, as a dignified, even glamorous woman. “She was kind of like a diva. Like back in the day, she always had her hair done, lipstick done, nails, everything. She was always dressed so beautifully.” She was also a devoted parent and she was fun. “When she wasn’t at work, we were never bored. We would go ride our bike and we would get curly fries with cheese and milkshakes, and then we would go to the duck pond and feed the ducks. And, like, she was a good, like, playful parent.” Schneider says that even through Dayʼs later mental health crises, she always stuck around and checked in with her family. “She would not take off. She’s the opposite. She’s like, the parent that annoys you, because they’re showing up so much.” Schneider's son was born after Day went missing. He is five years old now and she is finding herself having to explain the absence. “My son, he’s at that age where he’s starting to question, like, ‘what happened to grandma?' And like, ‘Why is she not in your life?' And you know, like, he always asks — it’s so horrible — He always asks, like, ‘Are you gonna disappear?' And like, as a mom, that is just horrible. You know that knowing that my son, like, has that thought in his head, because he knows it’s a possibility.” So Schneider says, for him and for her newborn son, she will keep looking for the truth of what happened to her mom. “I really want to keep searching and talking about her case, not only for me, but also for my sons. I want them to know that people are still interested and care.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

An inmate who raised concerns about the treatment Ghislaine Maxwell was allegedly receiving behind bars was reportedly disciplined after speaking out, drawing renewed attention to claims that Maxwell was being treated differently from the average federal prisoner. The reporting described accusations that Maxwell had access to privileges and accommodations that other inmates did not receive, leading some prisoners and outside observers to question whether prison officials were extending special treatment because of her notoriety and connections. The inmate who complained allegedly faced repercussions after bringing those concerns forward, adding another layer of scrutiny to the way prison authorities have managed Maxwell since her conviction.The claims surrounding Maxwell's treatment have continued to follow her throughout her incarceration, particularly after her move to a lower-security federal prison camp in Texas. Critics have pointed to reports alleging she received favorable conditions, including access and freedoms that appeared inconsistent with normal prison restrictions.to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Associate Ghislaine Maxwell Exposed By Inmates For 'Queen Bee' Treatment - Private Chapel Access, Unlimited Toilet Paper, Armed Guards | IBTimes UKBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The All Local Afternoon Update for Friday, May 8th,2026

Officials have leaked word to The Washington Post that they believe Iran can survive Donald Trump's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz for three to four months without experiencing severe economic pain. Also, Iran has kept far more of its missiles and drones than previously known. Those are surely his worst screw-ups yet, given that he's repeatedly insisted both that the regime is in terminal collapse and that Iran's military has been obliterated. This comes as The Wall Street Journal reports that his advisers are increasingly unnerved by the political price Republicans will pay over the closed strait. Those are related: The new revelations suggest the war could go on longer than expected, which is exactly what his advisers fear will worsen the GOP's political mess. We talked to New Republic staff writer Tim Noah, who's been writing well about Trump's failures. We discuss why the war's political fallout could last many months, how Trump voters are facing a perfect storm of disastrous policies, and what to expect in the midterms.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

The party this week just launched a campaign to weaken Republican seats in New York.

The government of the United States Virgin Islands aggressively pursued Jeffrey Epstein's estate after his death, arguing that the estate owed the territory millions of dollars connected to taxes, penalties, and alleged criminal conduct tied to Epstein's operations on Little St. James and Great St. James. USVI officials sought to place liens on estate assets as part of a broader effort to recover money they argued was tied to Epstein's trafficking enterprise and years of alleged abuse carried out within the territory. The territory's attorneys argued that Epstein had used shell companies, financial maneuvering, and complex business structures to shield assets while benefiting from lax oversight in the Virgin Islands. Officials also accused Epstein's estate executors and affiliated entities of attempting to move or protect assets before victims and authorities could fully recover damages, leading to a fierce legal battle over who would control the estate's remaining wealth and how those assets would be distributed.Epstein's estate pushed back hard against the USVI's efforts, challenging both the legality and scope of the requested liens. Attorneys for the estate argued that the government was overreaching and attempting to improperly seize assets before claims had been fully litigated or validated in court. The estate also claimed that many of the financial penalties and proposed liabilities being asserted by the USVI were speculative, inflated, or lacked sufficient legal basis. Lawyers for the executors maintained that the estate had already established compensation funds for victims and was cooperating with civil proceedings, while simultaneously disputing the government's attempts to broaden its financial claims. The dispute evolved into a prolonged court fight over taxation, asset control, jurisdictional authority, and whether the Virgin Islands government itself had failed for years to properly scrutinize Epstein's activities while he openly operated within the territory.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Andy and Randy discuss some of today's top stories in the National Football League.

The U.S. Department of the Interior has announced a new task force aimed at addressing violent crime in tribal communities. The Indian Country Violent Crime Task Force was announced May 5, which is also Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples Awareness Day. Officials say the initiative is designed to strengthen law enforcement coordination and protect families across Indian Country. The effort will be led by the Bureau of Indian Affairs Office of Justice Services and will work with federal, tribal, and state partners to expand investigations, deploy mobile enforcement teams, and target drug trafficking and crimes against children. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum says the initiative takes what he calls a “zero-tolerance approach to violent crime” and is focused on protecting tribal communities. Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Billy Kirkland says the effort is also about strengthening coordination and accountability. In a statement, he says working closely with tribal communities will help improve public safety outcomes and prevent future crime. Officials say the task force will focus on solving missing persons and homicide cases, while using data to identify high-crime areas and direct resources where they are needed most. The initiative builds on earlier federal efforts, including Operation Lady Justice and the Bureau of Indian Affairs Missing and Murdered Unit, as concerns about public safety in Indian Country continue. Keystone Pipeline in Canada. (Courtesy TransCanada) A 650-mile crude oil pipeline through eastern Montana and Wyoming just cleared another hurdle on the way to construction. Montana Public Radio's Ellis Juhlin reports, President Donald Trump issued a cross-border permit for the Bridger Pipeline Expansion Project Thursday. The pipeline would move no less than half a million gallons of crude tar sands oil from Canada into the U.S. daily. Its proposed path covers some of the same area as the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline, which was terminated under President Joe Biden. The Bridger Pipeline would cross major rivers including the Missouri and the Yellowstone, prompting fears about the potential for contamination of water sources. It could also run through the Fort Peck Indian Reservation and the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes. Tribal nations were not consulted as part of Trump's permitting decision and say a pipeline in this area could violate treaty rights. Jenny Harbine, a lawyer with the nonprofit firm EarthJustice, says pipelines like these are known to break. “Crude oil spills are extraordinarily time, consumptive and costly to clean up, and I don’t know that our local communities in Montana or our regulators are prepared for that kind of devastation.” The proposal must still go through several permitting processes at the state and federal level before construction could begin, but the pipeline is fast-tracked, and supported by Republican lawmakers in Montana. Construction could begin as early as next summer.

The strike ended on its third day after zoo officials and union workers signed a four-year collective bargaining agreement.

The U.S. expects Iranian responses on several key points in the next 48 hours. Nothing has been agreed yet, but the sources said this was the closest the parties had been to an agreement since the war began. Concerns raised during a defense briefing about unconventional threats in the Iran war, including claims that Iran could deploy weaponized marine animals like “kamikaze dolphins.” Officials say the warning reflects how modern warfare increasingly includes unusual tactics and psychological elements, even as critics question the seriousness and accuracy of the claim.

Following the Celtics’ collapse against the Sixers, Jaylen Brown took to Twitch to voice his frustration — accusing officials of having an agenda against him. The comments sparked immediate conversation about responsibility, optics, and accountability after a tough loss. Rob Parker says the officiating complaints could be true, but coming out publicly makes it sound like sour grapes — especially after a “live by the three, die by the three” performance. Kelvin Washington argues Brown needs to move on, explaining how Boston’s reliance on three‑point shooting, lack of in‑game adjustments, and predictable offense played a far bigger role in the loss than the referees. Kelvin and Rob break down why the Celtics failed to adapt, how overreliance on the three hurt them late, and why postgame messaging matters just as much as performance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former FBI Director James Comey is under the microscope again, this time hiding behind a ridiculous "seashell" defense after allegedly posting a veiled threat against Donald Trump. While the legacy media rushes to dismiss the "86/47" beach message as a harmless coincidence, Comey's long record of selective amnesia and partisan leaks tells a much darker story. From orchestrating the Russia collusion hoax to shielding Hillary Clinton's illegal homebrew servers, this latest stunt highlights the sheer arrogance of a thoroughly weaponized justice system.  It is past time to hold the architects of the Deep State accountable for years of lying to Congress and betraying the American people, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
