🚨 THEY SAID THE FBI DIRECTOR WAS “MISSING IN ACTION.” Then Kash Patel dropped THIS on the Senate. Watch the media bury it. Predecessors took 33 days off a year. Kash: 4 days this year. They used Reagan National like a personal lily pad — $3.5 MILLION of YOUR money. He killed that. Andrews and government fields only. Taxpayers off the hook. Least personal travel of ANY FBI Director in history. Highest work days. Highest results. 📉 Murder rate down 20 points 💊 Enough fentanyl seized to kill a quarter million Americans — 20% fewer kids dying of overdoses 🎯 ALL 10 of the FBI’s Most Wanted captured 💰 Six of the world’s top fraudsters — $2 BILLION stolen from Americans 👶 11,000 child victims found and located 🚔 54,000 violent felons arrested by the FBI alone — 90% increase in 18 months That is making America safer than it’s ever been. Media won’t run this. You will. 🎥 Watch him say it. Then RT it. #MAGA #FBI #KashPatel #AmericaFirst #DrainTheSwamp

🚨 HOLY CRAP! In a stunning admission, Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Michigan) announced that if the SAVE America Act becomes law — "It would be hard for ANY Democrat, in ANY state, to win ANY election." President Trump was just PROVEN CORRECT Democrats are aware of mass voter fraud at scale and ending non-citizen voting will force them to lose elections 🤯 Time is running low, mere WEEKS remain until it could not take effect for the 2026 midterms. Ram this through to stop the cheat!

Tulsi Gabbard didn’t just release 1,600 pages of documents on her last day in office. She exposed something far uglier: the intelligence community didn’t investigate the lab leak. They built a protective cocoon around Anthony Fauci and called it national security. They had the evidence early. A May 2020 report from Lawrence Livermore laid it out plainly ... all the conditions for an accidental release of a lab-modified coronavirus were already present at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Precursor viruses. Reverse genetics work. ACE2 receptor testing. Biosafety failures. It was all there. Instead of following that evidence, they let the man who approved the funding for that research steer the entire origins discussion across 18 intelligence agencies. Fauci didn’t just offer opinions. He shaped the narrative, suppressed dissent, and later lied to Congress about his involvement. And the agencies went along with it. Whistleblowers who tried to push back were retaliated against. The institutions that were supposed to protect the country chose to protect one well-connected bureaucrat instead. This wasn’t a mistake. It was a decision. Corporate media is pretending this never happened. They won’t even touch it. That silence tells you exactly whose side they were on. This is bigger than Fauci. This is proof that when the truth threatened powerful people inside the system, the system circled the wagons and buried the evidence. Tulsi just ripped the cocoon open. Now we’ll see who tries to sew it back shut. (article below)

I lived for 10 years in Taiwan and Japan. Both would have deported me if I didn’t have a job. And they’d laugh me out trying to go on welfare. Zero benefits for immigrants —legal or no. It’s a privilege to come here, if you can’t hack it go home.
Any Welfare used by households… Native Born: 39% Naturalized Citizens: 52% Non-Citizens: 59% America has a major problem.

🚫 Today I Was Blocked From Covering Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Johnson's press conference - That’s Not Democracy. Here’s the raw video of Gov. JB Pritzker’s staff denying me media access to his press conference with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson this afternoon — for no reason and with no explanation other than I wasn’t “on the list.” I’ve attended and questioned Gov. Pritzker before, and I’ve been a credentialed reporter in Chicago for more than a decade. This is a textbook First Amendment violation. The Governor’s staff even threatened to have me thrown out of the building by State Police. 🚔 And let’s be clear: this press conference was staged. It wasn’t just about condemning Trump’s Border Patrol deployment to Chicago — it was about Pritzker and Johnson surrounding themselves with friendly reporters who would stick to their talking points. Pritzker is planning a White House run, and he can’t have #ThatReporter asking tough questions. Silencing me is silencing the public. #FreePress #FirstAmendment #ThatReporter
For no reason and in violation of the First Amendment, @GovPritzker and @ChicagosMayor Brandon Johnson denied me press access to their press conference today about @realDonaldTrump's deployment of ICE agents in downtown Chicago on Sunday. Video to be posted soon, lawsuit to follow. Especially given the outrage that Gov. Pritzker expressed when @JimmyKimmelLive was taken off the air due to his false statements for a weekend, it's the height of hypocrisy. #thatreporter @FoxNews @FoxBusiness @nypost @AndrewKolvet @TuckerCarlson

In the most active months of 2024 (mid-Feb - mid-Nov), 13 Chicago wards had 70% of the 489 murders in the city. See below. Each bar is a block. These 13 wards had a murder rate of about 48 per 100k people, nearly 3X the rate for the city, already highest for large US cities.

But this press conference wasn’t only about taking illegal alien criminals off the streets. It was also about seizing the poison that fuels the cartels and injects cash into their criminal operations. Noem announced that her team had already taken a whopping 20 kilograms of fentanyl, which is over 44 pounds. Insane. “I want you to look at the contraband that’s in front of me.” On the table were large bags filled with the deadly fentanyl, cash that had been seized, and illegal guns. “We have 20 kilograms of fentanyl that’s in front of me on this table.” She then explained what this could have done to Americans if left on the streets. “That’s enough to kill 10 million people.” “Here out of this office this was interdicted just days ago here in Illinois and because these federal officers have been on the streets picking up criminals and dangerous individuals, we were able to take this 20 kilograms of fentanyl off the streets and save over 10 million lives.” Noem said that DHS and HSI are working alone, and elected officials in Chicago and the state of Illinois have gone out of their way NOT to assist them in making their city or state safe. “Unfortunately, all of the politicians that have spoken out against their efforts, their will, their desire appears to be that they would like to have more of this on their streets.” “More drugs out there for their kids and families to be victimized, more guns out there committing crimes. That’s not the work we do in ICE.” “The work that we do is to protect people and make sure we remove these weapons and drugs off of our streets and hold those criminals accountable who would go forward and continue to use that to harm individuals.”

Did you know the DPT shot injured so many children that Big Pharma threatened to stop making vaccines? That’s how you lost the right to sue them. Japan had the same problem. But instead of protecting Pharma, they delayed the DPT shot until age 2, and what happened next was so profound, it was impossible to ignore. 🧵 THREAD

Here’s what @IamBrookJackson witnessed firsthand. As regional director at Ventavia, the company running Pfizer’s vaccine trial sites, Jackson said the entire operation was riddled with serious violations. She saw falsified data, trial participants who were unblinded, staff who were poorly trained, and vaccines that were improperly stored. Worse, she claimed the company FAILED to follow up on adverse events, including serious, potentially life-threatening ones—which recklessly endangered patients and destroyed the integrity of the entire trial. “We were so inundated with the number of adverse events that we could not keep up,” she said. Pfizer even called asking what the plan was to handle the flood of safety reports. She said patients weren’t even given full informed consent—her “number one concern.” Jackson reported these issues to Ventavia. When nothing changed, she went to the FDA. Six hours later, she was fired. The reason? “I was not a good fit,” she said. “I was not a good fit for reporting fraudulent conduct in a clinical trial.” Jackson worked at Ventavia for just 18 days but says that’s all it took to get a grasp of the fraud she witnessed.

At what point does the Trump DOJ start arresting sanctuary city mayors? I doubt this insurrection will stop until that happens.

LAWFARE: The DC federal court can effectively hijack the executive branch (as we are witnessing now), making it essential that its judges be our best and brightest. Yet 33% weren’t born in the US, and NONE had any prior judicial experience when they were appointed..

Apparently, Judge Jeb Boasberg really, really wanted this case.
Do we know why the Alien Enemies case wasn't assigned to Judge Contreras? It was filed on Saturday, 3/15.
