‘He Killed Himself’: FBI Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino Double Down on Epstein Claim

Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, whose list of clients included some of the world’s most elite, really killed himself inside his jail cell, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino said.

Speaking to Fox News Sunday Morning Futures’ Maria Bartiromo, Patel and Bongino both confirmed the deceased hedge fund manager who owned Pedophile Island died by suicide inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.

“You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. People don’t believe it,” Bartiromo pressed the pair.

“They have a right to their opinion,” Patel responded.

“But as someone who’s been a public defender, a prosecutor, who’s worked in that prison system and been inside segregated housing——you know a suicide when you see one. And that’s what that was,” he added.

FBI Deputy Director Bongino backed up Patel, saying, “He killed himself.”

“Again, you want me to—I’ve seen the whole file…He killed himself,” Bongino said.

The claims align with what Director Patel told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee earlier this month, including comments to Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), saying, “Senator, I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan detention center.”

NO EMBRYOS harmed in Palm Springs fertility clinic bombing, officials reveal deceased suspect’s identity

Federal authorities have identified the man behind the bombing of a Palm Springs fertility clinic, describing the act as terrorism and confirming that no embryos were destroyed in the attack.

The suspect, 25-year-old Guy Edward Bartkus of Twentynine Palms, died in the explosion, which also injured four others. Officials said Bartkus had attempted to livestream the bombing, but the footage did not upload online.

“Make no mistake: This is an intentional act of terrorism,” said Akil Davis, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office, during a press conference Sunday evening.

Davis confirmed that Bartkus left behind a series of writings, some of which investigators believe expressed “nihilistic ideations.” According to the Associated Press, the suspect reportedly believed “the world should not be populated.” Authorities are reviewing those materials to better understand his motive.

The bombing occurred Saturday at the American Reproductive Centers, a single-story clinic in an upscale area of Palm Springs. The explosion caused significant damage to the facility, but no patients were present at the time.

DOJ Confirms Plan to Make It Easier to Prosecute Corrupt Members of Congress

The Department of Justice has confirmed a plan that will make it easier to prosecute corrupt politicians.

Under plans currently being drawn up, the DOJ would be able indict members of Congress without approval from lawyers from its Public Integrity Section, known as PIN.

The plans were first reported by The Washington Post and confirmed by a DOJ official.

The Post explains:

Under the proposal, investigators and prosecutors would also not be required to consult with the section’s attorneys during key steps of probes into public officials, altering a long-standing provision in the Justice Department’s manual that outlines how investigations of elected officials should be conducted.

If adopted, the changes would remove a layer of review intended to ensure that cases against public officials are legally sound and not politically motivated.

Career prosecutors in the Public Integrity Section guided and signed off on the criminal investigations into alleged corruption by New York Mayor Eric Adams (D) and former Democratic senator Bob Menendez.

A Justice Department spokesman confirmed the proposal and said that no final decisions have been made. The three people familiar with the proposal spoke on the condition of anonymity because they fear reprisals.

According to a DOJ spokesperson, the main issues lies with the power afforded to PIN, which has already shrunk significantly from 30 prosecutors under the Biden regime to just five under Trump.

“The point of the review is to ensure that equal responsibility is held in the field at U.S. Attorney’s Offices as opposed to centralizing all authority in PIN,” they explained.

PIN was created in 1976 in the wake of the Watergate scandal with the goal of reinforcing DOJ’s credibility in policing official misconduct.

According to the Justice Department’s guidelines, prosecutors in the Public Integrity Section must give formal approval—not just input—before charges can be filed against lawmakers in cases tied to their official roles or campaign conduct.

Nonetheless, the ultimate decision to proceed with an indictment rests with the attorney general.

US to Spend $1 Trillion on Nuclear Weapons Over Next Decade

According to the Congressional Budget Office, Washington will spend $1 trillion from 2025 to 2034 on modernizing and operating America’s strategic arsenal.

“If carried out, DoD’s and DOE’s plans to operate, sustain, and modernize current nuclear forces and purchase new forces would cost a total of $946 billion over the 2025–2034 period, or an average of about $95 billion a year, CBO estimates,” the report says.

The spending includes $357 billion on operating nuclear weapons and delivery systems, $460 billion on modernization projects, and $130 billion in expected cost overruns. The CBO report notes that Pentagon plans often cost significantly more than projected.

The forecast in this year’s CBO report is $93 billion higher than the estimate produced last year.

“Weapons programs frequently cost more than originally budgeted amounts for a variety of reasons.” It continues, “If nuclear force programs exceeded planned amounts at roughly the same rates that costs for similar programs have grown in the past, they would cost an additional $129 billion over the next decade, $33 billion more over 10 years than CBO estimated in 2023.”

Washington is in the process of a major nuclear weapons upgrade. The US is developing a new bomber, an intercontinental ballistic missile, and a submarine capable of firing nuclear weapons.

Leftists Celebrate as Nottoway Plantation, the Largest Remaining Antebellum Mansion in the South, Burned to the Ground

An investigation is underway after the Historic Nottoway Plantation in Louisiana, the largest antebellum mansion in the U.S., burned to the ground on Thursday.

Firefighters battled the blaze for over 18 hours.

The plantation has been the subject of leftist complaints in recent years for “romanticizing” the antebellum South and not doing enough to call attention to the slavery involved in its construction.

Leftists even took to social media to celebrate the destruction.

The fact that Axios released the audio from the Biden-Hur interview suggests something disturbing

The big news from yesterday and today is that the tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Joe Biden about unsecured classified documents in Biden’s garage became public. They showed a man who was obviously in the grips of senile dementia and who therefore had no business running anything, let alone the world’s most powerful country, one armed with nuclear weapons.

Since I already knew in 2020 that Biden was suffering from dementia, a progressive condition—and then I’d watched it progress for the next four years—the Hur tapes affirmed what I already knew. They weren’t news, indeed, to any conservatives. What has been newsworthy is watching the media try to explain away their failure to report on Biden’s mental state, going so far as to actively deny what anyone with a functioning brain could see.

Outside of the leftist bubble, the cover-up, not Biden’s dementia, has been the real news. And that gets me to something very peculiar about the release of the Hur interview tapes.

To appreciate my point, you need to go back…back…back in time.

The genesis of all this was the revelation in January 2023 that Biden had been storing in his open garage—without any attempt at protection—classified material that he either removed from the White House while he was Vice President or that he retained from his days as a Senator.

Either way, he had violated national security laws and ought to have been hauled off then and there. Only the president is above those laws. No one else is.

Well, that’s the theory. In fact, Democrats and their allies always get a pass or, as happened with Bradley Manning, the whackadoodle who stole government secrets because he thinks he’s a woman, a pardon.

Instead of handcuffs, Biden was subjected to gentle questioning by Special Counsel Hur. In February 2024, Hur released his report about Biden’s crimes. Ultimately, Hur pretty much pulled a James “8647” Comey. As you may recall, in July 2016, Comey gave a long press conference during which he detailed chapter and verse of Hillary Clinton intentionally bypassing national security protocols to run all of her emails while Secretary of State through an unsecured server in her bathroom. Then, he essentially added that she didn’t mean to do anything wrong, so no sane prosecutor would indict her…and Hillary walked.

Does the Release of the Hur Recordings Raise More Questions About the Autopen Signings?

In his four years in office, Joe Biden pardoned or granted clemency to more than 8,000 criminals, including his own son, four times more than Barack Obama (1,927), who was in office for eight years.

Republicans raised questions about Biden’s extensive reliance on the executive autopen to sign all those pardons and acts of clemency. Indeed, it would seem to be a non-issue. All presidents have used an autopen for official and unofficial business, so what’s the big deal?

Legal experts scoffed at that idea except in one unlikely instance. Kermit Roosevelt, constitutional law expert at the University of Pennsylvania, said, “If the president doesn’t know that something was done, then it’s not a valid official act.”

Did Biden fully understand that he was pardoning and granting clemency to these 8,000 people? 

Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued a statement on Friday saying that his committee was going to revisit the autopen issue it raised during hearings last March. At that time, the Biden White House stonewalled Comer’s committee, refusing requests for documents and having aides testify. 

“The American people deserve to know who was actually calling the shots in the Biden White House, because it wasn’t Joe Biden. His mental decline was obvious to anyone paying attention. But instead of being honest, the Biden Administration, Democrats in Congress, and the legacy media lied and covered it up. They gaslit the American people while propping up a man who was unfit to lead,” the statement said.

The release of Hur’s recorded interview with Joe Biden changes everything. It raises serious questions that Democrats can’t avoid: How impaired was Joe Biden? Did he fully understand the act of pardoning so many criminals? 

Who was pulling the strings? Who was the puppetmaster?

The FDA Just Approved Another COVID Vaccine — But RFK Jr. Has Already Intervened

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday approved the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine, but RFK Jr. is stepping in to limit its avaliability.

The latest Novavax vaccine will only be avaliable to the elderly and those over the age of 12 with an underlying medical condition.

The approval of the vaccine, named Nuvaxovid, is contingent on the company conducting studies to assess potential links to various heart conditions.

However, Some of these investigations can be carried out using existing data sources.

The New York Times has more details:

Scientific advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who typically make decisions on who should get approved shots and when, have been debating whether to recommend Covid shots only to the most vulnerable Americans.

The F.D.A.’s decision appeared to render at least part of their discussion moot.

The vaccine had previously been authorized under emergency use. Covid vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, which are more widely used by Americans, were granted full approval in 2022. However, the companies are working on updated shots for the fall, and the new restrictions on the Novavax shot portend a more restrictive approach from the F.D.A.

The F.D.A.’s new restrictions also appeared to reflect the high degree of skepticism about vaccines from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, and the other leaders he has appointed at health agencies.

The jab is said to have fewer side effects than mRNA based vaccines because it is built on a more traditional vaccine platform.

Figures in the scientific establishment are already complaining about the restrictrions.

”This is incredibly disappointing,”said Dr. Camille Kotton, an infectious disease physician at Massachusetts General Hospital nd former adviser to the C.D.C.

Tom Homan: Biden-Released, Sex-Trafficked 14-Year-Old Migrant Child Rescued in Texas

White House Border Czar Tom Homan told the Republican National Lawyers Association that a 14-year-old unaccompanied alien child was discovered being sex trafficked by two adult males in Texas. During a speech on Friday, Homan says the rescue, conducted two days before, is just one example of what agents are finding in the search for unaccompanied alien children released by the Biden administration.

Homan made his remarks during the 2025 National Policy Conference in Washington, D.C., an annual event hosted by the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA). During his remarks, Trump’s Border Czar described the difficult search for more than 500,000 unaccompanied children who were released into the United States during the Biden administration. According to Homan, 300,000 remain missing.

Homan told the attendees he firmly believes many of the unaccompanied alien children who were released into the United States are being used for forced labor. Of the several thousand Homan says the administration has located, Homan provided information regarding the 14-year-old child found living with two adult males in Texas, saying she is now receiving physical and mental health care from the Department of Homeland Security.

Homan did not identify the two adult male suspects implicated in the alleged sex trafficking of the 14-year-old unaccompanied alien child, nor did he provide other specifics of the criminal case facing the adult suspects. Homan told the crowd that the victimization of children takes its toll on agents, referring to personal experiences he endured during his career.

“Despite what the media says, we are not heartless, we care about these kids,” Homan told the attendees. “I’m a father, and the reason I’m so emotional and headstrong on this issue is because I dealt with dying children throughout my career.”

“I have held dying children,” Homan added.

The border czar described the task of locating the 300,000 unaccompanied alien children who remain missing, calling it one of the most challenging tasks the administration has embarked upon.

“Everyone in this room has a footprint. We can find you. You own a home, car, and pay bills, and we can find you,” Homan explained. “Children don’t have that footprint.”

Homan said the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS) ‘s lack of proper vetting during the Biden administration made locating the children more difficult. Many were not fingerprinted, and much of the identification information recorded during the release process wasn’t verified.

The Story of a Weed that Could Make Californians Rich!

It was 1930s and the last thing the depression era needed was an invasive plant that took over farmland and pastures. The Klamath weed, or goatweed, a native of Europe, first appeared in the United States in 1793 near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. By 1900 it had reached California in the vicinity of the Klamath River, hence the name locally given to it. By 1929 it had occupied about 100,000 acres of rangeland, and by 1952 it had invaded some two and one half million acres. Livestock consuming “the weed” became sore-mouthed and lost weight so the government and chemical (pesticide) companies took action! Tons of herbicides like 2,4-D (a component of the notorious chemical weapon called “Agent Orange”)1 were used and millions of dollars were spent to control the weed with little success. Local rivers and soil were contaminated with the harmful chemicals that accumulate in animals and humans and can cause neuroendocrine disruptions (More details in my article Do Pesticides Impact Fertility, Masculinity and Miscarriages? An Overview of Scientific Literature).

The “invasion” problem was finally solved when species of beetles (native to southern France) were imported in 1944, that mainly fed upon the “weed.”

In her 1962 book Silent Spring, Rachel Carson discusses Klamath weed as an example of how poorly researched chemical approaches to pest control can have unintended negative consequences. But today, we know the yellow-flowered perennial Americans called Klamath “weed” was called St. Johns Wort (Hypericum perforatum) in Europe with amazing medicinal and therapeutic properties!

The herb St. John’s Wort (SJW) now sells for $20 a pound and in concentrated pill for $100 a pound! This is the same plant that Californians spent millions of dollars to (unsuccessfully) eradicate by contaminating their precious soil and water resources!

The herb, when organic and untreated, is used for relief of menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, treatment of insomnia, depression, nerve pain (neuralgia) and wounds.
