Sen. Rand Paul: ‘Without Question’ Fauci Directed U.S. Funds to Wuhan for Gain-of-Function Research

“Without question” former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Anthony Fauci directed U.S. tax dollars to the Wuhan lab in China, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said during an interview on Breitbart News Daily.

Paul discussed the recent announcement from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) that Tulsi Gabbard released a trove of evidence that Fauci lied to Congress and directed U.S. funding for gain-of-function research linked to Big Pharma’s pursuit of “universal vaccines.”

Referring to the 120 biolabs in 30 countries (including Ukraine) for which Gabbard revealed “new evidence of longstanding United States government funding,” Paul said, “What I specifically want to know is what exactly the experiments are, because the establishment, the defenders of Anthony Fauci, said this is just a vaccination program for brucellosis for cows.”

“I don’t know. It seems like there might be more there. Why are we doing this in 30 different countries? Why are we doing this in countries that have wars going on? You know, it’s spread throughout a lot of places that you would think on a normal day would be at risk for some kind of military overthrow or having these pathogens released. So I think the real answer is going to be in the details of what the experiments are,” the senator said.

Paul said Fauci and his allies, however, argue that it is not gain-of-function research.

“People need to realize that this experimentation is so dangerous, and often farmed out to third world countries in obscure places — because here we have more scrutiny, and here people would be going, you know, not only are they torturing beagles, or whatever they do in Tunisia — they may also be doing research with viruses, creating viruses that don’t exist in nature, and then running them through animal models that have human lungs, and training the virus to be more adaptable to humans, which is what we think happened with COVID,” he said, describing these as “incredibly dangerous experiments” that “don’t have any value.”

“We’ve never really produced any kind of vaccine or any treatment from them. And making an animal virus into a human virus is not that hard to do, but we certainly shouldn’t be funding it,” he said.

When asked about the claim that Fauci “directed U.S. taxpayer dollars to gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China,” Paul replied, “Without question, he did.”

Disgraced Former Duchess Sarah Ferguson Visited Epstein TWICE in ‘Bogus Firm’ He Set-up for Work-Release While Imprisoned for Child-Sex Offense

Epstein’s ‘sweetheart deal’ came with a ‘sweetheart work-release’ permit.

News arose today that disgraced former Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson visited Jeffrey Epstein twice at his ‘office’ for a ‘bogus firm’ he set up for work-release while imprisoned in Florida on a child sex offense.

When we say the firm was ‘bogus’ we are NOT passing judgment or trying to guess – Epstein himself characterizes it so in an email to Fergie: ‘250 south Australian suite 1404. ten minutes from airport. [The number and address for the fake office of the fake company, the Florida Science Foundation]’.

‘Fake office for the fake company’… Epstein could be brutally honest in some emails.

Ferguson met the convicted pedophile on two separate occasions at his Palm Beach ‘office’ that he used to leave jail every day ‘to work’ and only come back to sleep.

Georgia Urges AI Data Centers to Cut Water Usage as Droughts Rage

Georgia is reportedly struggling to meet the growing water demands of AI data centers, as Atlanta planners urge operators to prioritize community needs and reduce consumption — even as water usage varies widely across facilities.

“There’s no easy answer for how much water data centers are requesting,” Celine Benoit, principal planner for the Atlanta Regional Commission and Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District, said, according to a report by Bloomberg.

Benoit, who was speaking at a conference hosted by the American Water Works Association on Monday, added that Georgia residents are unfamiliar with AI data centers and oppose them based on the facilities’ water and energy demands.

Georgia, which is prone to droughts, is one of the areas of the U.S. where data centers are being quickly developed, with the Atlanta area being the second largest data center market in the Unites States as measured by megawatts of power usage.

Proposed AI data centers need water ranging anywhere from 5,000 gallons to 9 million gallons per day, depending on the cooling system, as well as other factors, Benoit noted.

As drought continues to lay waste to the state, local Georgia utilities have pushed back against data center developers’ requests for massive water usage, saying they simply don’t have enough supply to provide millions of gallons per day, she added.

Five Years Of Secrets: Motion Filed To Expose Hidden J6 Evidence The Government Won’t Let America See

For more than five years, Americans have been told that January 6 was among the most thoroughly investigated events in our nation’s history. Thousands of hours of surveillance footage were collected. Millions of pages of documents were produced. One of the largest criminal investigations in Department of Justice history unfolded in federal courtrooms across Washington, D.C.

Yet one question has persisted:

Why can’t the American people see the evidence for themselves?

That question is now squarely before a federal judge.

On Friday, attorney Roger I. Roots and paralegal Emily Lambert of The Ticktin Law Group filed a motion on behalf of January 6 defendant Dominic Pezzola asking the court to lift the sweeping protective order that has restricted public access to much of the government’s January 6 discovery.

The motion asks not only that the protective order be dissolved, but that the government’s Evidence.com and Relativity databases be preserved and ultimately made available for journalists, historians, researchers, and the American people to examine.

The filing rests on a straightforward proposition: transparency strengthens confidence in the justice system. It cites longstanding Supreme Court precedent recognizing a presumptive right of public access to criminal proceedings and judicial records and argues that circumstances have changed dramatically since the protective orders were first entered in 2021.

Is This Beijing’s 9/11 Moment?

The Chinese Communist Party has always insisted its leaders are humble servants of the people. Selfless. Frugal. Living only to serve the masses. Xi Jinping’s father tended pigs in one of Mao’s campaigns. Xi himself spent years in a cave. (We’re all the heroes of our own origin story.)

But soon, the world may get the truth.

A U.S. intelligence law now requires the Director of National Intelligence, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Defense to produce a report and post it publicly online before December 2026. It will detail the personal wealth, financial holdings, and business interests of Xi Jinping and the rest of the Politburo Standing Committee. And not just the top seven. The full Politburo. The 25 most powerful communists on Earth. Their fortunes will laid out for everyone to see.

Here’s why that matters. A 2024 Congressional Research Service report already estimated Xi’s family had amassed at least $376 million in investments, including an indirect 18% stake in a rare-earth company worth more than $311 million, plus roughly $707 million in hidden wealth tucked among relatives. Most of it was parked with his sister, her husband, and their daughter. Funny how that works.

And that’s the lowball estimate. Back in 2012, the New York Times documented $2.7 billion in hidden riches held by the family of then-Premier Wen Jiabao. China’s response? It blocked the Times’ website for years, an action that I think proved that the report was definitely totally baseless.

But I mean, so what if Xi Jinping’s family is worth over a billion dollars, right? Doesn’t America have its own billionaire leader? One who’s absolutely not ashamed to brag about how “really rich” he is?

Yes, but it’s not the same. Not when Xi Jinping claims to be a humble servant of the people. At least Trump never claimed that.

A China commentator called this wealth the Communist Party’s “Achilles’ heel.” And he’s right. The CCP’s entire claim to legitimacy rests on the fiction that its leaders are humble men of the people. The whole con collapses the second ordinary Chinese citizens see how staggeringly rich their “servants” really are.

Which brings us to the catch. The intelligence community has dragged its feet on this same thing before: This report was supposed to be published a year ago, and it was. And IT SUCKED. It was released in March 2025 (shortly after Trump took office), and it was only four pages long. It barely mentioned Xi Jinping, and didn’t try to dig very hard into the investments he’d supposedly divested from. Very disappointing.

So will the real report actually land in December? Will it have teeth? Or will it be four more pages of stuff people already knew?

Ex-Trump Advisor John Bolton Pleads Guilty to Mishandling Classified Documents

Former National Security Advisor (NSA) John Bolton on Friday pleaded guilty in federal court to mishandling classified documents.

Bolton, a prominent foe of ​U.S. President Donald Trump, was indicted on 18 counts related to improper handling of classified material and initially pleaded not guilty.

He appeared in Greenbelt, Maryland, before Judge Theodore D. Chuang, an appointee of then-President Barack Obama.

The 77-year-old  admitted to a single charge of illegal retention of classified information. The documents he retained included diary entries containing national defence information, some of it classified at the top secret level.

As part of the agreement, Bolton agreed to pay a $2.25 million fine.

Reuters reports Bolton must make half that payment ​within five days of sentencing and the full payment ​within 90 days of sentencing.

Bolton could face up to five years behind bars, though the plea deal may help him avoid time in prison.

After the judge read the allegations against Bolton in court on Friday, including about sending diary entries with sensitive information to his family members, Bolton said the accusations were accurate, CBS News reported.

“I did your honor,” Bolton confessed when asked about whether he committed the actions at hand today. He added he was “sorry for it.”

Exhausted Troops, Supply Routes Under Constant Fire: French Reporters from Le Monde, on the Ground in Slavyansk-Kramatorsk, Experience the Ukrainian Collapse in the Donbas

In the last Ukrainian bastion in the Donetsk region, the ‘amazing’ victories on the MSM are nowhere to be found.

While there’s no denying that the recent Ukrainian drone and missile strikes are taking a toll on the Russian war effort, especially in the Crimean peninsula, the most salient feature of the war on the ground is going mostly unreported.

The siege on Konstantinovka is about to bear fruit for the conquering Russian forces.

Meanwhile, the two last Ukrainian-controlled strongholds in Donetsk are already under major stress, as Slavyansk and Kramatorsk are under heavy drone strikes, with civilians and soldiers fearing the bombings ‘will intensify’.

French newspaper Le Monde reported from the ground:

“Of all the roads leading to Sloviansk, only one remains relatively safe from Russian drones: The one that runs from Barvinkove, a west-east route lined with sad, dusty villages. Just like several other areas near the front lines, the road is covered with nets stretched between poles, forming an endless tunnel that ripples in the wind. The nets are designed to intercept explosive-laden Russian drones that dive onto vehicles, and the makeshift defenses they form have become one of the most visible symbols of how the war between Kiev and Moscow has changed.”

All the other routes are heavily targeted by enemy artillery and drones.

DHS Lawyers Praise SCOTUS Rulings as ‘Victories for the Rule of Law, Common Sense’

Officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are praising decisions issued by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) on Thursday, all of which make it easier to enforce federal immigration law.

As Breitbart News reported, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, clarifying that a migrant who has not physically set foot into the U.S. is not entitled to apply for asylum and does not have to be inspected by an immigration officer.

Similarly, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in Mullin v. Doe that President Donald Trump’s administration can end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians living in the U.S. — making them deportable.

And, in a third case, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in Blanche v. Muk Choi Lau, which will make it easier for DHS officials to deport green card-holders who have been convicted of crimes in the U.S.

DHS General Counsel James Percival said the rulings reinforce that the nation’s borders are critical to its sovereignty.

“These three rulings are all victories for the rule of law and common sense,” Percival said:

This includes barring aliens from applying for asylum if they haven’t set foot in the United States, making it easier to remove lawful permanent residents who commit a crime, and reaffirming that TPS was always supposed to be temporary and can be cancelled at the appropriate time. Thanks to these decisions, we now have several more important tools to continue securing our borders. [Emphasis added]

Meanwhile, Democrats have panicked over the rulings. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus, for instance, claimed SCOTUS is “enabling the Trump administration’s worst anti-immigrant policies, and in the process dealing our communities and our economy an undue blow.”

Newsom urges a national ‘billionaires’ tax’ while fighting one in California

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat who is considering a run for president as he approaches the end of his term, called for a national “billionaires’ tax” on Friday even as he fights another proposal targeting the wealthy in his home state.

Newsom also said the U.S. government should own a stake in artificial intelligence companies. His proposals, outlined in a Substack post, aligns him with the Democratic Party’s populist left, and he argued that urgent changes are needed to prevent the elite concentration of wealth and power from undermining democracy.

“It’s time for an economic reset for America,” Newsom wrote.

The governor announced his agenda a day after an influential health care union in California pledged to go forward with a ballot measure that would impose a one-time 5% tax on the assets of billionaires living in the state as of Jan. 1, 2026.

Newsom opposes that measure, as do many of the liberal interest groups that typically favor higher taxes. They fear it would drive billionaires out of California, eroding the state’s tax base over the long term for a one-time influx of cash. A technology mecca, California has more billionaires than any other state — a few hundred, by some estimates.

“You may not be able to pick up and move to Texas or Florida to shelter your income from taxation, but I promise you that billionaires can, and do,” Newsom wrote. “Wealth is movable, and it shops for the state with the lowest taxes. The fight belongs at the federal level, where this broken system was created in the first place.”

Pete Buttigieg Says He Was Swatted and Separated From Children by Child Protective Services After Being Accused of “Unspeakable Violent Crimes”

Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg claims he was swatted this week by Child Protective Service agents and separated from his four-year-old twins. 

Buttigieg ran to Substack to write a column about the incident.

“Someone decided to hurt our family this week. I’m furious, and I want to share what happened,” he began the posting.

Buttigieg wrote:

You’ve probably heard of “swatting.” It’s a cruel and dangerous kind of hoax that has started happening more frequently in recent years. Someone anonymously calls 911 with a false report of imminent danger, such as a hostage situation, at the home of a public figure. Law enforcement swarms the house, guns drawn, terrifying the unsuspecting homeowner and family and sometimes even leading to deaths or injuries in the confusion. It’s happened to dozens of lawmakers, judges, celebrities, and others. (When I was in the Cabinet, someone attempted to do this to our home, but fortunately the hoax was quickly detected.) It’s become enough of a problem that the FBI now has a dedicated database to track such incidents.

Now imagine the same concept, but with Child Protective Services instead of a SWAT team. Hadn’t thought of that? Me neither, until a few days ago when a police officer and a CPS worker showed up at our home and politely asked to speak with me.

I showed them in, invited them on the deck so that we could hear each other over the barking dog, and asked what was going on. They explained that there had been an allegation against me, that it concerned our four-year-old twins, and that a forensic interview had been arranged for the children the following day. I could not be present at the children’s interview, nor could any family member sit in. Afterwards, they would come back and interview me. And only then would they tell me anything about the nature of the allegation.

Describing himself as “bewildered and troubled,” Buttigieg went on to reveal that “the CPS worker told me something that made my stomach turn: I was not to be alone around the children, at least until the interview took place the next day.”

“The twenty-four hours until they returned are among the darkest hours of my life. I tried to get my head around the idea that I had been accused of something so serious that I couldn’t be alone around my own children, and had consented to have them interviewed by strangers, without my knowing where the accusation had come from or even what it contained,” he wrote.

After a “sleepless night,” he says, the officers told him that an anonymous tipster told police that he had spoken to a woman, and she said that Buttigieg had “committed unspeakable violent crimes, and the caller believed my children were still at risk.”
