FBI Investigating Brutal Assault on Kosher Restaurant, Attackers Screamed “Kill all the Jews” While Beating Jewish Diner

It is a grimly familiar scene, one that ought to shock but increasingly numbs: a group of Jewish diners in New York, savoring a late-night meal at a kosher restaurant in Queens, suddenly find themselves the target of a vicious assault. 

The attackers, emboldened by a hatred as old as it is mindlessly irrational, hurled anti-Semitic slurs and fists with equal abandon. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, we are told by The Algemeiner, is now probing this outrage as a possible hate crime, and it would take verbal contortion to see it otherwise. 

The victims, among them Bita Golbari, a 51-year-old New Yorker, recount a night that began with the simple pleasures of dinner and companionship but ended in blood and terror. Ms. Golbari, speaking to The Algemeiner, revealed that the FBI reached out to her on Tuesday to discuss the incident, which unfolded in the early hours of July 20 at Sezam, a restaurant serving Russian and Central Asian fare. 

The FBI's New York field office, however, has remained tight-lipped, offering no comment by press time. One might charitably assume they are too busy investigating to respond. Less charitably, one might wonder if they are simply indifferent.

The New York City Police Department's 112th Precinct, present at the scene, dutifully filed two complaint reports, both obtained by The Algemeiner. Curiously, neither report classified the attack as a hate crime, merely an "assault with intent to cause injury," [to, you know, the Jooooze!].

This bureaucratic sleight of hand raises questions the NYPD has so far declined to answer, despite The Algemeiner’s repeated attempts to reach the detective in charge. The Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Public Information, similarly stonewalled. Why, one must ask, is an attack accompanied by cries of “You guys are Jewish, we wanna kill you all tonight” not immediately deemed a hate crime? Is this not the very definition of the term?

The details of the assault are as harrowing as they are infuriating. Golbari was dining with her husband and several other Jewish couples when a nearby table of men began staring at them with unnerving intensity. Elham Sharga, 45, a close friend of Golbari’s, described the scene: "From the beginning of the night, I saw there was a table next to us with a few men sitting at it, and they were staring at us. They were looking at our table." Sharga, unsettled, moved her chair to distance herself from their gaze. "I was really scared, so I moved my chair to the other side to sit next to my other friend. I didn’t give them attention; I just moved my spot."

The situation escalated around midnight when two women joined the men's table, sparking the violence. The trigger was mundane yet telling: Sharga's handbag went missing, only to be found in the possession of one of the women. When Sharga confronted her, the response was immediate and brutal. "She pulled my hair and threw me down," Sharga recounted. "Hitting me on my head, my belly, my back, my neck. They were pulling my hair. And then I heard the other guys come and they all started hitting me. I was thinking I was dying. I was screaming for help."

Her husband, rushing to her aid, was similarly battered, his face and arm bloodied. "I really don’t know how long I was on the floor getting beaten up," Sharga added, her voice carrying the weight of trauma. 

She was later hospitalized with fractured ribs, her body still wracked with pain. Golbari, witnessing the melee as she prepared to leave, described a scene of chaos: "I’m walking out the door and I see everybody is fighting. I see my friend Elham on the floor and they [the two women] are kicking and hitting her, punching … and I see my husband and the other people all fighting with the guys." 

Fleeing to call 9-1-1, Golbari was pursued by one of the attackers. "She came after me in the street," she recalled. "She grabbed me and she said, 'What the f–k are you trying to do? Are you trying to call the police on us? We are going to kill all of you Jews.' And then she punched me so hard in the face I thought I was dead."

In a moment of grace amid the horror, a stranger intervened. "I crossed the street, I found a guy, I held his hand, and I said, 'Please, don’t leave my side. Somebody is trying to kill me.' 

He said, 'Are you Jewish?' I said, 'Yes.' And he said, ‘OK, I’m going to help you. It’s OK, stay by me,'" Golbari recounted. This solitary act of decency stands in stark contrast to the cowardice of the restaurant staff, who did nothing to halt the violence, and the attackers, who fled before the police arrived. No arrests have been made.

This is not merely a story of a brawl gone wrong; it is a symptom of a deeper malaise. The reluctance of the NYPD to classify this as a hate crime, the silence of the authorities, the failure of bystanders to intervene, all point to a society grown weary of confronting the ugly reality of anti-Semitism. 

One can't help but wonder: how many more Jews must be beaten, how many more slurs must be hurled, before we call this what it is? The answer is, as the kids say, blowing in the wind, as the attackers vanish into the night and the victims are left to nurse their wounds, both physical and existential.

These scumcrumpets need to be tracked down and brought to justice, and the NYPD heads need to be held accountable for doing nothing but eating donuts.

Democrats are looking for a few good men, or even bad ones, just real men

Tampon Tim

If men can give birth, let their hair grow long, wear nail polish and identify as a woman and thus compete against women in sports, it's no wonder they cannot accurately identify what a man or a woman is. So it's no mystery why they cannot know how to talk to young men, or even act like men.

Democrats are still scratching their butts over why young men are walking away from the Party after years of pushing empty promises and socialist delusions. Well, they got a rude awakening last year when young men went over to the Trump camp.

You could probably hear the collective wail from D.C. all the way to Mecca.

Who is shocked that young guys are ditching a party that openly mocks masculinity, lectures non-stop about "male privilege," and pins every societal ill on "the patriarchy"? 

Not me, and probably not you either, unless you’ve been sipping the progressive Kool-Aid.

But instead of getting a clue, Democrats are doing what they do best: throwing cash at the problem, your cash, your tax money.

Picture this, gaggles of overpaid consultants holed up in soulless hotel conference rooms, trying to crack the Gen Z male code like it's spewed from the enigma machine. Remember when they dropped a cool $20 million just to figure out how to talk to men?

That’s right, $20 million, and they’re still swinging and missing, because their messaging is steeped in the same elitist, progressive dogma that sent working-class men running for the hills in the first place. Instead of tackling real issues such as economic opportunity, national security, or just a shred of cultural respect, Democrats are pissing away money on focus groups and rebranding schemes while ignoring what actually drives male voters. The more they try to "fix" their image, the clearer it gets: they don't not only don't understand young men, and they don't really like them either.

And yet, the Left remains blissfully oblivious, which is probably a good thing for the GOP.

Tim and his LGBTQ dog Phydeaux

The Washington Post is also confused. They grudgingly admit Republicans cleaned up with young men in 2024, especially young Latino and Black men who swung hard for Trump. But the why is where they step on a rake. 

"What happened?" the Post whimpers.

Here's what happened, straight from the horse's mouth. Young men in swing states say the Democrats abandoned them, leaving them helpless to provide for their families as prices skyrocketed and jobs vanished. They got no sympathy from the Left, just eye rolls and lectures about their "male privilege." 

Sure, they acknowledge historical patriarchy, but that doesn't make them bulletproof in a job market where men are getting hit hardest by graduate unemployment. That’s the word from focus groups run by the centrist, pro-Democrat Third Way and HIT Strategies, talking to men aged 18-29 from swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. These guys were low-propensity voters, showing up more for presidential races than midterms, who backed Joe Biden in 2020 but flipped to Trump in 2024.

And here’s the kicker:

"Men feeling left behind elicits eye rolls in many corners of the Democratic Party. The gender pay gap persists, with women making 85 percent of what men earned in 2024, despite greater female participation in the workforce than in past decades. The numerous calls from party leaders to appeal to the 'manosphere' and appear less 'woke' also elicit concerns that that means throwing marginalized groups under the bus on issues like trans or women’s rights." 

Let’s cut the nonsense: the Democrats don’t respect young men or take their concerns seriously. Men, they say, have "privilege," especially white men.  Newsflash: you don’t win back voters by categorizing them as deplorables while sneering at their struggles or trotting out the tired, debunked gender-pay-gap balderdash.

Hey guys, if you enjoy Brain Flushings, I hope you'll consider supporting my work with a small donation to Buy Me a Coffee. It fuels my late-night writing sessions with fresh ideas. No pressure.

Here's the unvarnished truth. You cannot run a political party like a fan club for fringe activists and expect the mainstream, especially young men who still believe in hard work and basic reality, to stick around. 

When Democrats cozy up to purple-haired pronoun enthusiasts, bureaucratic busybodies, and billionaire tech overlords, they're sending a loud message that young men don’t matter. Keep it up, Dems, and you’ll be wondering "What happened?" for another election cycle or two.

Cincinnati city councilwoman racist says white victims of the mob attack 'begged for the beat down

Cincinnati's City Hall is burning hotter than hell in summer. 

Councilwoman and obvious racist, Victoria Parks, is catching heat for a Facebook comment that has everyone's blood boiling. Under a post from someone named Leohna Alia La JCannon, showing a brutal downtown beatdown that went viral, an account tied to Parks posted: "They begged for that beat down!" Yeah, she really said that. 

She next doubled down, adding, "I am grateful for the whole story." Grateful? What a witch.

The Facebook account screaming Parks' name checks out, listing her job as City Council Member for Cincinnati, with a résumé boasting former Hamilton County Commissioner and Chief of Staff to Todd Portune. It totally matches her official city bio. 

This is no catfish; it’s the real deal. 

Her page is a time capsule of council work, stretching back years. Oh, and she has two other Facebook accounts, one quiet since May 27, another gathering dust since 2022. Busy lady.

The internet is losing its damn mind. Screenshots of Parks' comment are spreading like wildfire on X, and the pitchforks are out. Ohio State Rep. Phil Plummer (39th District) isn’t holding back, roaring on X: "Cincinnati Councilwoman Victoria Parks must resign immediately!"

Defending violent criminals who viciously beat innocent people is disgusting and racist. Her words "They begged for that beat down!' are disgusting. Prosecutors must charge the attackers with a hate crime. We must protect our streets!"  

Then there's the X mob piling on: "You’re a racist pig, Victoria Parks," one user pointed out. Another screamed, "THIS IS INSANE!" demanding her head on a political pike.

So, what's the deal with the brawl? 

Picture this: Saturday morning, corner of Fourth and Elm, Cincinnati's downtown business district. A mob savagely lays into two people, with video showing a white woman, who went to the aid of the man that was beign beaten, getting knocked out cold by black man in the street. It's ugly, it's viral, and it has the city on edge.

Now, Parks' bio brags about her leading the charge on declaring racism a public health crisis and making Juneteenth a paid holiday for Hamilton County workers. But who's the racist? It sounds noble, sure, but how do you square that with cheering a brutal street assault?

Cincinnati's council is nonpartisan, but Parks, along with all nine members, got the nod from the local Dems. She's already said she's not running again, planning to ride off into the sunset when her term ends. 

The Fraternal Order of Police isn't having it. President Ken Kober told Fox News Digital: "It’s unconscionable that an elected official would be celebrating violence in the very city she was voted to serve. This highlights the poor political environment that police officers, residents and visitors are currently enduring. Thankfully, there's an election in November. I urge voters to vote for change!" 

Parks? Radio silence, along with other Cincinnati members.

This isn’t just a Cincinnati story, it’s a five-alarm fire about trust, power, and what the hell elected officials are thinking when they hit "post." Stay tuned, because this pot’s gonna boil over.

GOP confirms Trump-aligned judge, defeating obstructionist Democrats

The Republican-led Senate just rammed through Emil Bove's confirmation to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a 50-49 squeaker, and the Democrats are crying foul louder than a toddler who needs a diaper change. 

Bove, a former Trump legal eagle, got the nod despite weeks of blue-team bellyaching and enough whistleblower complaints to fill a soap opera script.

The vote was tighter than a well digger's butt in winter, with RINOs Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins siding with the Dems to try to tank Bove's lifetime appointment. No dice, ladies, Trump's guy is headed to the bench. 

Attorney General Pam Bondi was practically doing cartwheels on X, gushing, "Congratulations to our dear friend Emil Bove on his confirmation to serve on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals! This is a GREAT day for our country." She went on to praise his "tireless work" at the Justice Department, adding, "He will be missed, and he will be an outstanding judge." 

Take that, haters.

Bove's resume reads like a conservative fever dream. He was Trump's go-to lawyer when Biden's cronies tried to bury the former president under a pile of classified documents and election interference charges. He also had a front-row seat in the New York hush money circus, where Trump got slapped with 34 felony counts but walked away with what amounts to a judicial shrug. Before that, Bove was a federal prosecutor in New York, locking up drug dealers and terrorists.

But the Democrats have been clutching their pearls since Trump floated Bove's name, screaming about whistleblowers who claim he told Justice Department folks to ignore judicial orders. They're also steamed about his role in canning some January 6 prosecutors and spiking the case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. Naturally, they’re painting him as the second coming of Darth Vader.

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) wasn't having it, firing back at the Dems for trying to "weaponize" the whistleblower process. "He has a strong legal background and has served his country honorably," Grassley said, defending Bove like a pitbull. "I believe he will be a diligent, capable, and fair jurist." He also took a swipe at the opposition, slamming their “vicious rhetoric, unfair accusations and abuse” as crossing the line. Tell 'em, Chuck.

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck 'Nostrils' Schumer (D-NY) was out here acting like the sky just fell. "It’s unfathomable that just over four years after the insurrection at the Capitol, when rioters smashed windows, ransacked offices, desecrated this chamber, Senate Republicans are willingly putting someone on the bench who shielded these rioters from facing justice, who said their prosecution was a grave national injustice," he wailed. Dark day, Chuck? Maybe take a deep breath and a sip of chamomile tea, just don't barbecue any cheeseburgers.

Hey guys, if you enjoy Brain Flushings, I hope you'll consider supporting my work with a small donation to Buy Me a Coffee. It fuels my late-night writing sessions with fresh ideas. No pressure.

Look, the left is throwing a tantrum because their smear campaign didn't stick, and the right is popping champagne because they got their guy. Business as usual in D.C. Bove's on the bench, and the outrage machine is already revving up for the next fight.

Jewish father and son attacked by cowardly anti-Semites in Milan

The footage is grim, almost unbearably so. A mob, inflamed by the usual slogans, descends upon a Jewish father and his six-year-old son at a Milan gas station, shrieking "Free Palestine" and "murderer" as though these words were cudgels. The boy, marked out by his kippah and tzitzit, watches as his father is hurled to the ground, beaten, his glasses smashed. [Tzitzit (or tzitzis) are specially knotted ritual fringes or tassels worn in Jewish tradition, primarily by observant Jewish men, as commanded in the Torah (Numbers 15:38-39 and Deuteronomy 22:12). They are attached to the four corners of a garment, typically a tallit (prayer shawl) or a tallit katan, a small undergarment worn daily.]

This is not a scene from some distant dystopia, this is Italy, 2025.

The video, which I will not show here, has been ricocheting across social media. It captures the raw ugliness of the moment. The family, French nationals pausing to refuel, had done nothing to provoke this beyond existing as Jews. The mob's obscene gestures and chants were not a critique of policy but a visceral assault on identity. As the community group Black and Jewish Unity rightly put it, "This isn’t Nazi Germany in the 1930s. This is Italy in 2025." 

One might pause to ask: how far, really, have we come?

The outrage online is palpable, and rightly so. Italians, or at least those with a shred of decency, call it "a shameful embarrassment," the mob "ignorant." 

But this is not an isolated spasm of hatred. Milan, once a beacon of cosmopolitanism, now festers with anti-Semitism. In June, posters reading "Israelis not welcome" defaced Jewish neighborhoods and tourist hubs. These were not subtle political statements but blunt expressions of bigotry, as Milan city council member Daniel Nahum observed: "Anti-Zionism has become the modern form of antisemitism. These signs weren't criticizing the Israeli government-- they targeted all Israelis." 

He's right, of course. It's the kind of lazy, vicious conflation that would have you blame every Russian for Putin or every Iranian for Khamenei. Except, as Nahum notes, "Israel is a democracy." A detail conveniently ignored by those who prefer their hatreds simple.

Walter Meghnagi, president of Milan's Jewish community, lays the blame squarely at the feet of left-wing "pseudo-politicians" who fan these flames. "They do nothing but stoke hatred. They bear a large share of the responsibility for the spread of antisemitism," he says. And yet, the silence from much of the political class is deafening. "At least some from the center-right have stood up to defend us," Meghnagi adds, a faint flicker of hope in an otherwise bleak landscape.

This is not just Milan’s problem. It is Europe's and it's ours. The line between chanting slogans and breaking bones is thinner than we'd like to admit. And when a six-year-old must witness his father beaten for the crime of being a Jew, one wonders how much longer we can pretend this is merely a "protest" gone awry. 

The mob in Milan didn’t just attack a man; they attacked the very idea of a civilized society. And that, surely, is a warning we ignore at our peril.

Memory Lane: Mamdani promised to "disband" key police unit that handles mass shootings

Picture the scene: New York City is still shaking after a psycho gunman, Shane Tamura, stormed a Midtown office building, unloading a hail of bullets that left four dead, including an NYPD cop, before shooting himself in the chest. Blood on the pavement, chaos in the streets, and now the city is staring down the barrel of a mayoral race where the Democratic nominee, Zohran Mamdani, is catching heat for some wild anti-cop promises that sound like they were cooked up in a thug's fever dream.

Mamdani, who is currently off in Uganda tying the knot while the city mourns, has been flapping his gums about gutting the NYPD's Strategic Response Group (SRG). This isn’t some desk-jockey unit, the SRG’s the heavy hitters, the ones who roll out when riots, shootings, or straight-up anarchy hit the streets. 

According to the NYPD's own site, these guys are "highly trained personnel" with "specialized equipment," tasked with handling "citywide mobilizations, civil disorders, and major events." They're the ones you call when the city's burning, or when crime spikes and you need boots on the ground to lock it down. They're also the crew that shows up for "shootings, bank robberies, missing persons, demonstrations, or other significant incidents." You know, the kind of stuff that just went down at 345 Park Ave, where Tamura turned a Monday into a slaughterhouse.

But Zohran Mamdani has a bone to pick. Back in December 2024, while already running for mayor, he took to X and swore he would "disband" the SRG. Why? He posted on X that they were out there to "harass + arrest striking @teamsters," and that they’ve "cost taxpayers millions in lawsuit settlements + brutalized countless New Yorkers exercising their first amendment rights." 

Yeah, that’s his pitch: torch a unit that is literally built to stop the kind of chaos we just saw, all because this communist has a vendetta against cops. This is the same guy who’s been screaming "defund the police" for years, though he's tried to dial it back to a whisper now that he's got his eyes on City Hall. 

Fast-forward to Monday's carnage. Tamura, an apparent psychi with a grudge against the NFL, something about CTE and too many hits to the head which can only be diagnosed post mortem, walks into the tower at 345 Park Ave, home to big companies like Blackstone Inc. and the NFL. He opens fire, dropping NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, Blackstone exec Wesley LePatner, security guard Aland Etienne, and Rudin Management associate Julia Hyman. 

Four lives senselessly ended, and the city’s left picking up the pieces. 

Mamdani, from halfway across the globe, chimes in with the standard politician's lament: "I’m heartbroken to learn of the horrific shooting in midtown and I am holding the victims, their families, and the NYPD officer in critical condition in my thoughts." Oh, and suddenly he's "grateful for all of our first responders on the ground." This butt-munch will say anything for votes but when it comes to what he'll do if elected, New York will become the Wild, Wild East.

Real noble, Zohran, but maybe check your own playbook, you freaking promised to gut the unit those first responders rely on.

Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams, who's running for re-election as an independent and doesn't shy away from swinging back, isn't letting this slide. He's ordered all city flags to half-staff "as a mark of respect for the memory of NYPD Officer Didarul Islam who died in the line of duty and the multiple victims of the mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan at 345 Park Avenue yesterday." 

Adams didn’t mince words on X either: "Officer Didarul Islam died as he lived, a hero and protector of New York City. We will never forget you." That’s the kind of gut-punch clarity you get from a guy who's been in the trenches, not some ivory-tower type dreaming up ways to kneecap the NYPD.

So here’s the deal: NYC is bleeding, and Mamdani is out here playing revolutionary, vowing to dismantle the very units that keep the city from spiraling into a free-for-all. Does that sound like a guy ready to lead, or someone who’s gonna let the streets burn while he’s tweeting from a wedding in Uganda?

IDF destroys Hamas tunnel along with hundreds of Hamas terrorists

646th Brigade operating in Gaza Strip

Well, folks, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) just dropped a bombshell update [no pun intended] on their latest operations in the Gaza Strip, and it’s a doozy. 

On Sunday, the IDF announced that the 646th Reservist Brigade has been playing whack-a-mole with Hamasshole infrastructure over the past three months, taking down a major terror tunnel and hundreds of terrorist sites across multiple hotspots. We're talking Netzarim corridor, Shuja'iyya, Daraj Tuffah, and Beit Hanoun, basically, anywhere Hamas thought they could hide their toys.

Operating under the 99th Division, these troops weren’t just sightseeing. They went full scorched-earth on "military structures, weapons caches, and firing and observation positions used by terrorist organizations," according to the IDF. Oh, and let’s not forget the cherry on top: a 500-meter-long Hamas tunnel in Beit Hanoun, which got the elite Yahalom engineering unit’s special treatment in recent days. Badahbing! Gone. 

The IDF even released footage from inside this subterranean terror lair, and it's as creepy as you would expect. But wait, there’s more. 

In what sounds like a masterclass in coordination, the IDF teamed up with the Israeli Air Force to send approximately 400 terrorists to their final virgin goat infested rendezvous. No word on whether they got a one-way ticket or just a quick exit, but either way, that’s a serious dent in Hamas' roster.

Now, this isn’t just about blowing stuff up, though the IDF’s clearly got that down to an art form. It's about dismantling the underground networks Hamas relies on to keep their reign of terror humming along. And if you’re wondering why this matters, just imagine what those 400 terrorists and their shiny tunnel might’ve been planning next. Yeah, exactly.

Gaza 'starvation' poster boy actually has genetic condition and Israel helped him in the past

The media’s been peddling a heart-wrenching photo of a Gaza boy, Osama al-Rakab, 5, as the poster child for a so-called famine caused by Israel’s war in the Strip. 

But as it turns out, it’s a load of balderdash. 

The Israeli Defense Ministry dropped the hammer Monday, revealing the child has a genetic illness, not starvation, and was evacuated for treatment last month. 

Israel’s COGAT unit came out swinging: "A picture of Osama al-Rakab, 5, was 'used to falsely depict Israel as responsible for his condition, claiming Israel is starving children,'" including in Italian media and on Al Jazeera's airwaves. Lies, lies, and more lies. They clarified: "Osama suffers from a serious genetic illness unrelated to the war. On June 12, we actively coordinated Osama’s exit from Gaza with his mother and brother through the Ramon airport." The kid is now getting treatment in an Italian hospital, not wasting away because of Israel.

COGAT (Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories) didn’t stop there, warning: "Tragic images rightfully stir strong emotions, but when they’re misused to fuel hatred and lies, they do more harm than good." Preach. They added, "Don’t let compassion be exploited for propaganda." And to drive it home: “Check the facts before parroting blame." They even dropped a pic of Osama in his hospital gown in Italy, proving their point.

Meanwhile, the IDF's out here dismantling the "deliberate starvation" myth with hard action. On Sunday, they rolled out humanitarian measures, including "tactical pauses" in Al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah, and Gaza City "every day until further notice." Combat’s still on, but they're halting fire from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. in those zones, coordinated with the U.N. and other global players "following discussions regarding the matter." Humanitarian corridors? Locked in from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., letting U.N. convoys deliver food and meds to Gazans. The IDF is ready to scale it up "as required."

Then you have U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson dropping truth bombs on NBC's Meet the Press: "Since the war started, Jerusalem has supplied over 94,000 truckloads of food, 'enough to feed two million people for two years.'" But here’s the kicker: "Hamas has stolen the food." 

Fact-check that Hamas pocketed over $500 million in 2024 from aid meant for starving Gazans. Johnson called the U.N.’s aid system "broken" and said the IDF’s opening “new channels of distribution to get it to those people who are desperately in need, that’s Israel’s intention and that is the U.S.’s intention and the U.N. as well.”

And let's not forget Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, standing tall at a gathering of evangelical Christians in Jerusalem: "There is no starvation in Gaza … and I assure you that we have a commitment to achieve our war goals. We will continue to fight till we achieve the release of our hostages and the destruction of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities. They shall be there no more."

So there you have it, propaganda exposed, facts laid bare, and Israel fighting the good fight while the world's fed a steady diet of lies. Time to wake up and smell the truth.

Biden FBI spied on pro-life Catholics, calling them "violent extremists"

Joe Biden: Cafeteria Catholic and Fake President

Man, oh man, the Biden-era FBI really went all-in on playing Big Brother with Catholics, and the House Judiciary Committee just dropped a bombshell report on July 22 that lays it all out. We're talking way more federal law enforcement muscle thrown at surveilling Catholics than anyone thought, and the FBI didn't exactly come clean to Congress about it. Shocker, right?

The report, titled "Report: How the Biden-Wray FBI Manufactured a False Narrative of Catholic Americans as Violent Extremists," rips the lid off documents that flat-out contradict former FBI Director Christopher Wray's fantasy claim that the 2023 Richard memo was just a one-off oopsie. You remember that memo from the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, the one that slapped the label "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists" on "radical traditionalist Catholics." 

Yeah, that one. Apparently, it wasn't some rogue agent's bad day at the office.

According to a July 22 press release from the committee, new FBI Director Kash Patel handed over a whopping 1,300 pages of internal docs that spell out how the Biden administration's FBI went full Stasi on Catholics. We're talking surveillance operations that would make your skin crawl. 

Here is where it gets really gross: back in 2023, the Richmond office zeroed in on a Catholic priest from the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), a group Rome calls "irregular canonical," just because he wouldn't snitch on a parishioner the feds were sniffing around. 

So, what did the FBI do? They opened an "investigative assessment" on him. They teamed up with the Louisville Field Office and even the London Office to track his every move, where he was, where he was going, even his credit card receipts.

They even tried to weasel around priest-penitent privilege, claiming it didn't count because the parishioner hadn't been baptized or finished catechism. The committee's press release called that excuse "faulty," and I'm being polite when I say that’s putting it mildly.

It gets worse. 

The FBI analysts who cooked up that Richard memo leaned on straight-up anti-Catholic garbage for their alleged "research." We're talking sources like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which, let’s be real, isn’t exactly a beacon of objectivity nor has anything to do with poverty. 

The FBI confessed to using eight open-source articles, with charming titles like "Catholics are leaders and even founders of the most dangerous neo-Nazi groups in existence," "White Nationalists Get Religion: On the Far-Right Fringe, Catholics and Racists Forge a Movement," and "Traditional Catholics and White Nationalist 'Gropers' Forge a New Far-Right Youth Movement."

Not very subtle. The committee's investigators weren't having it, pointing out these sources scream bias against Catholics who actually take their faith seriously.

And of course, there’s more. 

A separate FBI memo was already floating around, warning that the SSPX was out to "recruit and radicalize white supremacists." Plus, the term “radical traditionalist Catholic” pops up in FBI docs from 2009 all the way to 2023. This wasn't a one-time thing, it’s a pattern.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, (R-IA), already spilled some tea back in June, saying the Richard memo hit at least four field offices and reached over 1,000 FBI personnel. He also flagged 13 other documents and five attachments dripping with anti-Catholic rhetoric. 

The committee is still digging, and they're not letting up. With Patel promising to keep the books open, they're vowing to keep pushing for "legislative reforms to protect American’s religious liberties from government overreach." Good luck finding a bigger red flag than the Biden FBI treating Catholics like they're the next al-Qaeda.

And all along, Biden pretended to be a Catholic.

Vueling pilot who ordered Jewish children off plane trained 9/11 Islamic jihadis

Human poo 

Let's pause to consider the grotesque absurdity of this tale, one that could only unfold in our age of moral confusion, depravity, and institutional cowardice. A pilot, Captain Ivan Chirivella of Vueling Airlines, once described Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al Shehhi, yes, those scumbags, the butchers of 9/11, as "normal lads." Normal, that is, except for their "sexist" attitudes, though apparently they "never said anything bad about the US."

 How comforting. These "normal lads," let us not forget, went on to pilot American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 into the Twin Towers, murdering 2,753 souls in an act of barbarism that shook the civilized world. And yet, this same Chirivella, a man who trained these monsters, was last week commanding a flight in Valencia, where he saw fit to have 50 Jewish children, youngchildren, mind you, aged 10 to 15, ejected from the Vueling Airline plane.

Picture the scene: these youngsters, fresh from a summer camp in Spain, board Vueling flight VY8166, bound for Paris. They take their seats, some humming Hebrew songs, as children do, full of life and innocence. The crew, apparently affronted by this display of cultural identity, warns them to stop. The children, obediently, comply, as confirmed by Karine Lamy, a mother whose child was among them, in an interview with i24NEWS. But compliance was not enough. 

Minutes later, the Spanish Civil Guard storms aboard, as though these children posed some existential threat. The camp’s 21-year-old director is handcuffed in front of her charges, while passengers are ordered to place their phones on the ground, lest they document this outrage. The footage, mercifully, escaped, spreading across social media like a flare in the dark.

The authorities claim 44 minors and eight adults were removed, the camp director having "refused to get off the plane and obey the officers." She was later released, no charges filed, which rather undermines the narrative of her supposed intransigence. Vueling, ever eager to deflect, issued a bullcrap statement claiming the group had tampered with emergency equipment and ignored crew instructions, engaging in "highly disruptive behavior" that endangered the flight. Oh, and they were quick to add, with the sanctimonious tone of a corporation caught in the act, that they "categorically reject any form of discrimination without exception." 

How noble. Yet when pressed about Chirivella’s identity, they confirmed he was the captain, born in the Canary Islands, 1976, a man of 12,500 flight hours, but conveniently omitted his starring role in the prequel to September 11 and how he trained the anal sphincters pictured below.

For it was Chirivella, as the Telegraph uncovered, who trained Atta and Al Shehhi at Jones Aviation Academy in Florida in 2000. He even penned a book in 2003, Innocent Accomplice, reflecting on his time with these “normal lads.” Normal, perhaps, until they were expelled from the academy for harassing female staff and falsifying documents—minor peccadilloes, apparently, for men who would soon commit mass murder. After the towers fell, the FBI came knocking, and Chirivella complained to El Mundo that he and others were treated "unfairly." Poor soul. Since 2006, he has flown for Vueling, moonlighting as a flight instructor, shaping the next generation of aviators. One wonders what lessons he imparts.

This is not merely a story of one man’s dubious past. It is a damning indictment of a world that allows such a figure to wield authority over Jewish children, to have them marched off a plane under armed guard for the crime of singing. It is a world where the memory of 9/11 grows faint, where the dots between past and present are left unconnected, and where the innocent are punished while the culpable carry on. If this does not stir your outrage, what will?

Michigan Walmart stabbing spree suspect identified: terrorism and assault charges for rampage being considered by police

Authorities in Michigan have fingered 42-year-old Bradford James Gille, a guy from Afton, as the maniac who allegedly went on a stabbing rampage at a Traverse City Walmart, leaving 11 people wounded. The Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Office is gunning for one count of terrorism and 11 counts of assault with intent to murder against this guy. Yeah, you read that right—terrorism. This ain’t your average shoplifting bust.

Sheriff Michael Shea dropped the bombshell that Gille’s no stranger to trouble, with a rap sheet including prior assaults and drug violations. What’s his motive? Nobody’s got a clue yet, which makes this whole thing even creepier. Picture this: a 42-year-old dude, acting solo, strolls into a Walmart on July 26, 2025, armed with a folding knife, and just starts slashing. Eleven victims, ranging from 29 to 84 years old, including one store employee, caught in the chaos. Munson Healthcare, the big dog of northern Michigan’s medical scene, says seven victims are in fair condition, four are hanging on in serious shape.

"Over the past 12 hours, we’ve seen encouraging signs of recovery among our patients," the hospital said, giving a shoutout to their team of docs, surgeons, nurses, and staff who’ve been working overtime. "Their unwavering commitment and compassion are a testament to the strength and resilience of our healthcare community."

Here is where it gets real: the suspect didn't just slip away. Regular folks in the store stepped up, helping to nab Gille and patch up the wounded before cops swooped in and cuffed him without a scratch. Talk about community grit. 

The feds are in on it too, with FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino tweeting that agents are backing up local law enforcement. Walmart’s spokesperson, Joe Pennington, didn’t mince words in a statement to Fox News Digital: "Violence like this is unacceptable. Our thoughts are with those who were injured and we're thankful for the swift action of first responders," he added. "We'll continue working closely with law enforcement during their investigation."

So, there you have it, a folding knife, a store full of screams, and a suspect with a shady past now staring down some heavy charges. Stay sharp, folks, because the world’s getting crazier by the minute.

Hamas scared silly over possible US-Israeli teaming up to spring hostages

The guy on the left in Hamasshole dunce cap

Hamas is sweating bullets, folks. The Arabic word on the street is that the terror group is shaking in its boots over a possible US-Israeli tag-team operation to spring hostages out of Gaza. 

According to a Saturday report from Asharq Al-Awsat, Hamas is so paranoid about this they've got their goons on high alert, sniffing out any whiff of Israeli collaboration and locking down wherever they’re stashing hostages, dead or alive. 

Here’s the thing: Hamas and Palestinian sources told Asharq that captors got orders to kill any living hostages if the IDF gets too close. How barbaric can these scumcrumpets be? They had a brief moment of playing nice during the January ceasefire, but that’s out the window and kill orders are back on the table.

This all comes after US and Israeli negotiators bailed on Qatar talks Thursday, with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff throwing shade at Hamas, saying they showed "a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza." He didn’t mince words: "While the mediators have made a great effort, Hamas does not appear to be coordinated or acting in good faith. We will now consider alternative options to bring the hostages home."

Netanyahu is on the same page, saying Israel and the US are hunting for other ways to get those hostages back. Brig. Gen. (Res.) Gal Hirsch, the guy coordinating for hostages and missing persons, said the Qatar exit was about figuring out how to "narrow the gaps" in talks. “In the face of many difficulties that Hamas has posed and is posing, we have continuously and resolutely exhausted every chance and possibility of reaching an agreement, and we will continue to do so,” he said.

But here’s the twist: Israeli officials told The Jerusalem Post on Friday that Hamas might still want a deal—sort of. "They’re trying to squeeze every possible advantage, provoking and appeasing all the extremist factions within Gaza," the officials said. Sounds like Hamas is playing a dangerous game of tug-of-war with everyone’s lives on the line.

Garbage-mouth Dilbert lookalike heckles FL Gov. DeSantis with profanity attack against "Alligator Alcatraz"

Dilbert or his 'on-the-spectrum' bro?

A potty-mouth and apparent Dilbert impressionist [from the Scott Adams comic of the same name] went off on Florida governor Ron DeSantis Thursday in the middle of a tribute to Hulk Hogan who died the same day.

DeSantis, who obviously could have personally spanked the pea-brain fool, gained control and simply had him removed from the venue.

The guy was slamming the governor over his support of the U.S. Constitution in regard to illegal immigration and the new detention facility designed to hold illegal aliens before their deportation to places collectively known as 'elsewhere.'

Gov. Ron DeSantis

Dilbert, or whoever he is, was in the back of the room and was caught on camera jumping up and pointing his finger-gun at the governor while shouting like a lunatic: "Alligator Alcatraz — is that your f---ing legacy?"

Rather than answering the moron, DeSantis just had him removed and continued unfazed with his tribute the Hulk Hogan. "Hey, stop, stop! Stop! Get out of here! Get outta here!" he said, gesturing toward the disruption.

Dilbert kept yelling as he was removed by authorities and his 30 seconds of fake fame came to an end.

The late, great Hulk Hogan

At the time, DeSantis had been sharing a memory of watching Hogan's iconic showdown against André the Giant at WrestleMania III.

"I remember WrestleMania III. He was up …," DeSantis started, before the heckler interjected with the jab about Alligator Alcatraz.

Dilbert

We have to ask ourselves, is this what we voted for?

You betcha.

Columbia U Finally Grows a Pair, Punishes Anti-Israel Radicals—But Don’t Hold Your Breath for a Kumbaya Moment

Columbia University, that overpriced bastion of ivory tower lunacy, has finally decided to stop coddling the keffiyeh-wearing, library-storming Hamasshole sympathizers that turned its campus into a wannabe Gaza reenactment. 

Fast forward, and the New York Post reports that Columbia finally dropped the hammer on over 70 students who mistook "free speech" for "let's trash the place." The punishment turned out to be suspensions ranging from one to three years for over 80% of the rioters, with a handful getting the boot entirely via expulsion. Some had their degrees revoked, others got probation. Apparently, storming Butler Library during finals in May and squatting on campus like it's Coachella for chaos isn’t part of the core curriculum. 

"Our institution must focus on delivering on its academic mission for our community. And to create a thriving academic community, there must be respect for each other and the institution’s fundamental work, policies and rules,” a Columbia spokesperson said, probably while praying this doesn’t spark another tantrum. “Disruptions to academic activities are in violation of university policies and rules, and such violations will necessarily generate consequences." 

The university dropped the news on Monday, keeping the naughty list under wraps because of privacy laws, per the Post. They’re also patting themselves on the back for their shiny new University Judicial Board, with the spokesperson crowing, "The speed with which our updated UJB system has offered an equitable resolution to the community and students involved is a testament to the hard work of this institution to improve its processes." Sure, Jan, let’s see if it sticks.

Here’s the bigger picture: Columbia has been bleeding federal cash since the Trump administration pulled billions in funding, largely because the school treated campus antisemitism like it was just another Tuesday. Now they're begging the White House to reconsider, but good luck with that when Jewish students are still dodging hostility like it's a contact sport. Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI), chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, isn’t buying the "we’ve changed" act.

"Columbia has more progress to make before Jewish students can truly feel safe on its campus," Walberg said, cutting through the fluff. "The committee’s work has underscored the depth and breadth of antisemitism at Columbia that can’t be ignored." He added, "We will continue to investigate anti-Semitism at Columbia and other universities and develop legislative solutions to address this persistent problem," he stated. "Our nation’s institutions of higher education must fulfill their legal obligations under federal anti-discrimination law."

Look, suspending a bunch of entitled radicals is a start, but Columbia’s got a long way to go before it’s anything but a poster child for academic dysfunction. Jewish students deserve better than navigating a campus that feels like a gauntlet, and taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for this circus. Walberg’s right, fix it, or face the consequences. Until then, don’t expect anyone to applaud Columbia’s half-measures.

Knesset passes non-binding motion on Judea and Samaria sovereignty

The Israeli Knesset has just made a move that reverberates far beyond the chamber’s walls. On Wednesday, 71 of its 120 members passed a non-binding resolution endorsing Israeli sovereignty over Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley. Only 13 dissented. This is no mere parliamentary gesture; it is a bold assertion of historical truth and national resolve, rooted in a reality too often obscured by the obfuscations of international diplomacy.

The resolution, spearheaded by Dan Illouz (Likud), Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionism), Limor Son Har-Melech (Otzma Yehudit), and Oded Forer (Yisrael Beiteinu), declares with unapologetic clarity: "Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley are an inseparable part of the Land of Israel, the historic, cultural and spiritual homeland of the Jewish people." 

It goes further, anchoring this claim in the deep soil of history: "Centuries and millennia before the establishment of the modern state, the forefathers and prophets of the nation lived and acted in these regions. Here, the foundations of Jewish faith and culture were laid. Cities like Hebron, Shechem (Nablus), Shiloh and Beit El are not merely historical sites, they are living expressions of the continuous Jewish presence in the land."

This was a Hatza'a l'Seder Yom, a "suggestion for discussion" in Knesset parlance, a resolution that carries no legal obligation but sends a signal as clear as a desert sunrise. Illouz, speaking to JNS, minced no words: "For the first time ever, the Knesset is expressing official support for the application of Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria. The message that came out of the plenary is clear: Judea and Samaria are not a bargaining chip—they are the heart of our country." 

He pressed the point: "This is not a symbolic statement but the beginning of a national decision. The world does not respect evasions, but a clear stand on our right to the Land of Israel. The time for sovereignty has come." Here is a nation refusing to barter its heritage for the approval of a world that too often prefers platitudes to principles.

The resolution's resonance extends beyond the Knesset. Israel Ganz, head of the Binyamin Regional Council and chairman of the Yesha Council, framed it as "clear and undeniable evidence of the national will to realize our values and our right to our land." He called the vote "a significant milestone on the path toward advancing the strategic step that will fortify the security of the entire State of Israel," before issuing a direct challenge: "I now call on the government of Israel: Turn this decision into reality on the ground." The Sovereignty Movement, founded in 2010 by Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katzover, hailed it as the fruit of relentless advocacy: "Years of activity, statements, rallies, conferences, articles, journals, programs and proposals have ripened into the historic parliamentary step we witnessed today."

This is not a new conversation. The Netanyahu government, like its predecessor, has toyed with sovereignty over Judea, Samaria, or at least the Jordan Valley, with expectations peaking in 2020 before the Abraham Accords shifted the regional calculus. Nor is this the Knesset's first foray. On May 28, a similar non-binding declaration passed, albeit with only 15 coalition lawmakers present. On February 21, 2024, a resounding 99-11 vote rejected unilateral Palestinian statehood, dismissing "international diktats regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians." The message is consistent: Israel will not be dictated to. The Netanyahu government’s actions, approving 41,709 housing units and 50 new Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria since December 2022, suggest a determination to cement this reality on the ground.

Yet, predictably, the international chorus of disapproval was swift. Nine Islamic and Arab states: Bahrain, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the UAE, alongside the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the Palestinian Authority, issued a joint condemnation via Qatar’s Foreign Ministry. They decried the resolution as a "blatant and unacceptable violation of international law and a flagrant breach of relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions." 

The Palestinian Authority’s deputy head, Hussein al-Sheikh, went further, calling it a "direct assault on the rights of the Palestinian people but also a dangerous escalation that undermines the prospects for peace, stability, and the two-state solution based on negotiation." He added: "These unilateral Israeli actions blatantly violate international law and the ongoing international consensus regarding the status of the occupied Palestinian territories, including the West Bank." One might ask: which international consensus? The one that ignores Jewish history while sanctifying every grievance against it?

This vote follows a Sovereignty Conference on Monday, where hundreds of Israelis, including ministers and lawmakers, gathered to press for extending Israeli law over territories liberated in the 1967 Six-Day War. Organized by MKs Illouz, Keti Shitrit, Moshe Passal, Ariel Kallner, and Avichai Boaron, it was a deliberate push to force the government’s hand. Israel has also warned European nations that unilateral recognition of Palestinian statehood could trigger further sovereignty moves—a diplomatic shot across the bow.

What we see here is a nation asserting its historical and moral claim against a world that often prefers Israel to shrink rather than stand tall. The resolution may not bind the government, but it lays bare a truth: Judea and Samaria are not chips to be traded in some geopolitical casino.

They are, as Illouz said, "the heart of our country." The question now is whether Israel will act on this conviction or allow the cacophony of international condemnation to drown it out. History, one suspects, is watching closely.

House to vote on censor of Dem rep in ICE facility incident

Well, guys, it’s another day in the clown show that is Washington, D.C., and Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), is stealing the spotlight with a performance that’s equal parts audacity and denial. McIver, who apparently moonlights as a professional obstructionist, has pleaded not guilty to charges of forcibly impeding federal officers at an ICE facility back in May, in spite of the video evidence clearly showing her impeding federal officers at an ICE facility in May. 

Yes, a sitting member of Congress is accused of getting physical with law enforcement while they were doing their jobs. And not just any law enforcement, mind you, but Homeland Security agents at the Delaney Hall Federal Immigration Facility in Newark. Classy move La.

Enter Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), who's had enough of this nonsense and dropped a resolution to censure McIver and boot her from the Homeland Security Committee. "Rep. LaMonica McIver’s continued service on the Committee on Homeland Security, which is charged with oversight of Federal immigration enforcement and other national security matters, would represent a significant conflict of interest," he said. 

Translation: You can’t oversee the feds while you’re out there allegedly body-checking them. The resolution also cites House rules, specifically clause 1 of rule XXIII, which demands that members "behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House." Spoiler alert: Slamming your forearm into a federal officer doesn’t exactly scream "creditably."

So, what’s McIver’s defense? 

The old lefty handbook move: she’s playing the victim card faster than you can say "political persecution." In a statement to Axios, she sneered, "Clay Higgins is a bigot who wants to be back in the news." [Not like she's aiming for the spotlight or anything like that.]

But wait, she’s not done: "This resolution aims to kick me off the committee that presides over the Department of Homeland Security and shame me for doing the oversight work that is my job. Good luck, Clay." Oversight work? Is that what we’re calling it now? Body camera footage from the Department of Homeland Security paints a different picture, one where McIver, decked out in red, allegedly wrapped her arms around Newark Mayor Ras Baraka to block officers from arresting him, then threw in a forearm slam and a grab for good measure. Real oversight-y stuff there, Congresswoman.

McIver’s facing a three-count federal indictment for assaulting, resisting, impeding, and interfering with federal officers during what was supposed to be a congressional oversight visit, coincidentally timed with an immigration protest. When agents told Baraka to leave a secured area, McIver apparently decided it was time to channel her inner WWE star. After pleading not guilty last month, she doubled down, whining, "At the end of the day this is all about political intimidation. The Trump administration and his colleagues or cronies, or whatever you want to call them, have weaponized the federal government. They weaponized the Department of Justice and anybody who stands up to them, anyone who criticizes them, anyone who fights back against them finds themselves in these hairs that we are in today." Yes, she said "hairs." And yes, she’s blaming Trump for her own decision to allegedly go hands-on with federal agents. Because of course she is.

Higgins, who’s clearly not here for the drama, told Axios he waited until just before the House's five-week recess to see if Democrats would do the right thing and yank McIver’s committee assignment themselves. Spoiler: They didn’t. House Republicans have a rule that indicted members lose all committee assignments. 

Democrats are cool with indicted members keeping their seats, as long as they don’t hold leadership roles. [Gotta love those high standards.] 

Higgins summed it up nicely: McIver "should not be participating on the committee that has oversight and voting authority over the branch of federal government that she’s been indicted for committing crimes against." Hard to argue with that, unless you’re allergic to logic.

McIver’s headed to trial on Nov. 10, and if the body cam footage is any indication, she’s got some explaining to do. But don’t hold your breath for accountability, this is D.C., where consequences are as rare as an honest politician. 

In the meantime, McIver’s out here crying "intimidation" while allegedly intimidating federal officers. The irony is as thick as Nancy Pelosi's makeup.

Former DNI James Clapper has "lawyered up" and is upset as a waterboarded cat

James "not wittingly" Clapper

The Russia Collusion saga just got a fresh twist, and it’s got some big players sweating, James Clapper, for one. 

Obama's old Director of National Intelligence, got tossed a hot potato by CNN's Kaitlan Collins about the current DNI Tulsi Gabbard, calling for a criminal probe into that whole Russia Collusion clusterfrack. You know, the one we've been yelling about forever.

As we said earlier, Gabbard's not messing around. She's kicked this over to the DOJ, and they've spun up a full-on Strike Force to dig into it. That’s the kind of language that makes you sit up straight; sounds like they’re finally ready to throw some punches. 

Now, I get it, we’re all a bit cynical after years of "will anything actually come of this?" But this feels like they’re gearing up for real. Sure, statute of limitations might tie their hands on some counts, and time's a cruel beast when it comes to building a case. But that announcement? It’s got the right vibe, like they're ready to flip every stone and see who's still got dirt on their hands.

So, Collins [no relation to RINO Susan Collins] corners Clapper on CNN, asking if he’s sweating bullets over the Trump admin maybe coming for him. His response is pure gold:

"Well, certainly I do. You know, after eight and a half years of this, and I don't know of an intelligence product that was more scrutinized, more investigated than that product was by numerous people...You know, it's very disconcerting. It really is. And I take seriously when the President of the United States accuses me of being a participant in a treasonous conspiracy, which is ridiculous."

Cue an adult diaper commercial.

Clapper’s out here calling it "untrue," but you can almost hear his knees knocking. Collins pushes harder, like, "What’s your move if they come for you? Got a plan?" 

And Clapper says: "I'll lawyer up, I suppose. I already have."

C'mon man, this dude’s been lawyered up since he bounced from government in 2017. That’s not the talk of a guy chilling by the pool. That’s a guy who's been sleeping with one eye open for years. Folks on X are eating this up, saying Clapper sounds like he's about to jump out of his skin. Also, it's probably not the best move to be yapping on CNN about it. Most lawyers would be like, "Yo, zip it, even if you think you’re clean." 

Rookie mistake, Jimbo.

This whole mess is about to get wild. I’m betting we’ll see more big names scrambling for legal cover faster than you can say "subpoena." And those whistleblowers Gabbard’s talking about? If they’ve got the goods, it could be the spark this case needs to light up.

DNI Gabbard: CIA Director Brennan suppressed intel that Russia interfered with material on Hillary Clinton

Things of beauty are a joy forever, but not in this case

It looks as if the truth just drop-kicked the Russia hoax into next week. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard unleashed a bombshell Wednesday, declassifying a House Intelligence Committee report that exposes then-CIA Director John Brennan as the ringleader of a scheme to bury explosive intel. What was he hiding? Oh, just that Vladimir Putin was sitting on a treasure trove of dirt on Hillary Clinton, stuff so juicy he planned to drop it after her expected 2016 coronation to torpedo her presidency. 

That’s right, Brennan didn’t just fumble the ball; he spiked it to protect the Clinton machine.

At a White House press briefing alongside press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Gabbard laid it all bare, quoting the September 2020 House Intelligence Committee oversight majority staff report she declassified that very day. The report reveals Putin wasn’t playing favorites in 2016, he wasn't Team Trump or Team Hillary. No, the Russian bear wanted to burn the whole system down by undermining faith in the election itself. As Gabbard put it, "In fact, this report shows Putin held back… from leaking compromising material on Hillary Clinton prior to the election, instead planning to release it after the election to weaken what Moscow viewed as an inevitable Clinton presidency."

Let that sink in. 

Putin thought Hillary was such a lock that he saved his best shots for after she won. And what did he have? According to Gabbard, the report details "possible criminal acts" by Clinton, plus high-level DNC emails exposing her "psycho emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness" and alleged daily reliance on heavy tranquilizers. Yes, you read that right; Hillary was supposedly popping pills like candy while her team was cutting shady deals. 

The report also alleges secret meetings with U.S. religious organizations, where State Department officials dangled cash for Clinton's campaign in exchange for their support. Oh, and let's not forget the State Department employees allegedly strong-armed into backing Hillary's White House bid. This is the kind of corruption that makes your skin crawl.

Gabbard didn’t hold back, pointing the finger squarely at Brennan for orchestrating a cover-up. She told reporters one of the report’s key findings: "In the January 2017 intelligence community assessment that President Obama ordered, John Brennan, who was CIA director at the time, and the intelligence community intentionally suppressed intelligence that showed Putin was saving the most damaging material that he had in his possession about Hillary Clinton until after her potential and likely victory." 

Brennan obviously didn’t just ignore the truth; he buried it deeper than Jimmy Hoffa.

But it gets worse. Gabbard revealed that Brennan and his intel cronies "mischaracterized intelligence and relied on dubious, substandard sources" to push the laughably fake narrative that Putin was all-in for Trump. They cooked up a story to undermine Trump’s legitimacy, and the media lapped it up like obedient lapdogs. 

This wasn’t incompetence, it was a deliberate hit job. 

Enter Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA firebrand, who nailed it Wednesday when he said, "If Russia was really all-in on supporting Trump and hurting Clinton, it would have leaked this information in October 2016 when her lead in the RCP average slipped to just +1.3." Exactly! If Putin was Team Trump, he’d have dumped the Clinton dirt when it could’ve swung the election. Instead, he sat on it, "completely debunking the core assumptions of the Russia hoax," Kirk added. “Rather than admit they were wrong, Brennan’s CIA buried the info and manufactured a completely alternative reality to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump.”

So, let’s recap: Brennan, the supposed guardian of truth, hid evidence that could’ve exposed Hillary’s corruption, all to prop up the Russia-Trump collusion fairy tale. This isn’t just a scandal; it’s a betrayal of the American people. The Deep State didn’t just play dirty, they rewrote the rulebook. 

Time to drain the swamp, folks, because this stench isn’t going away on its own.
