Joe Kent Under FBI Investigation For Leaking Classified Information: Semafor

According to Semafor, Joe Kent, the top counterterrorism official who just resigned in protest of the Iran war, is under FBI investigation for leaking classified information.

The investigation predates Kent’s departure, Semafor’s White House correspondent reported.

Joe Kent resigned on Tuesday and said the US started the war against Iran due to pressure from Israel.

“After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today,” Joe Kent said.

“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran,” he said.

“Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” he said.

“As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives,” he added.

On Tuesday, Fox News’ White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich said Joe Kent was a “known leaker” and was cut out of President Trump’s intel briefings months ago.

Insanity: Newsom’s California Blows OVER $100 MILLION on a ‘Butterfly and Cougar’ Bridge With No End in Sight – Project Director Blames Trump and the Weather

While waste and California go together like peanut butter and jelly, even this latest example will blow your mind.

City Journal’s Chris Rufo broke an explosive story on Wednesday, revealing how Gavin Newsom’s California somehow spent $114 million on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing (WAWC) over the course of four years. The crossing features an overpass for animals atop ten lanes of the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills.

The stated goal of the project was to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions by providing safe passage to the animals. The species that were supposed to benefit included the endangered cougars in the area and the monarch butterflies.

During a ceremony announcing the project, Newsom boasted that the state would provide $54 million in funding to complete the crossing. It was supposed to cost $92 million in total, with the remaining funding from private philanthropists.

Officials projected the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing would open in 2025, but now it is over $20 million over budget with no finish in sight. And you can thank good old-fashioned political corruption for it, along with the person in charge of the project, a loony cougar-sweater-wearing ‘environmentalist’ named Beth Pratt, who serves on WAWC’s Partner Leadership Team.

Did the DHS “ALBERT” Intrusion Detection Systems Fail? China Obtained 2020 Voter Rolls and Made Fake Driver Licenses

Major revelations have emerged about the 2020 election. JustTheNews reported that U.S. intelligence agencies have had raw reports, finished intelligence products, and at least one presidential daily briefing.

They all contain knowledge about actual breaches and interference conducted by foreign actors to swing the 2020 election. But we were told the election was the most secure ever.

The intelligence community hid this from the 2020 Trump Administration, various officials, and the American people for years. This Ombudsman letter from Barry Zulauf explains that China was seemingly protected.

Info from China analysts was withheld or dismissed. The words “influence” and “interference” had different meanings regarding China than they did for other countries like Iran and Russia.

Those old reports show they knew Chinese intelligence had obtained voter registration data from multiple states. This is the data with personal ID information, including social security numbers and driver’s licenses. It’s the exact type of voter roll data the DOJ has been asking for.

TGP reported on the “ALBERT Sensor” intrusion detection system a few years ago. It was rapidly deployed in 2017 by DHS into county elections across the country. Did it not work for the 2020 election, or have States hidden voter roll intrusions from their citizens?

Mother Speaks Out About Daughter’s Targeting by School’s Secret LGBTQ Club

In 2023, Colorado parents sued Poudre School District after discovering sixth-graders were being recruited to a secret after-school “art” club that turned out to be a gender and sexuality awareness club.

In Lee v. Poudre School District R-1, two families, Jonathan and Erin Lee, and Nicolas and Linnaea Jurich, sued the district, alleging it groomed their daughters into the LGBTQ cult through secretive Gender and Sexualities Alliance (GSA) meetings.

The lawsuit was dismissed, and on April 22, 2025, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that dismissal.

When the lawsuit was initially filed, Lee told Fox News’ Harris Faulkner,”The art teacher had invited in an outside presenter into the classroom that day, and this woman did absolutely unthinkable things with the kids.”

The presenter also told students they could describe themselves as “queer” if they had not yet figured out their sexuality.

“She talked to them about polyamory. She told them that these new labels that they had just adopted made them more likely to commit suicide and talked to them extensively about suicide,” she continued.

The presenter also allegedly discussed puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, warning those in attendance that their parents may not be “safe” people to turn to as they struggle with certain identities.

“She [the speaker] runs an organization called ‘Skittles’ for kids five to eleven to discuss gender and sexuality,” Lee said, noting that her daughter’s art teacher pulled her aside and told her “you don’t have to tell your parents.”

Lee joined Grant Stinchfield on Real America’s Voice to share her family’s journey.

Doug Ford launches war on transparency, shielding cabinet from Freedom of Information records

Ontarians, the government is coming for your right to know.

For years, freedom of information requests have been one of the few tools ordinary citizens, journalists, and researchers have had to hold power to account and peel back the curtain on government decisions.

That tool is now under direct assault.

Public and Business Service Delivery Minister Stephen Crawford confirmed the Doug Ford Progressive Conservative government’s plan to exempt the premier, his cabinet ministers and their staff from freedom of information laws entirely.

They’re selling it as “modernization” and a way to “protect against Chinese spies,” but it smells more like a brazen Big Government power grab to operate in total secrecy.

This comes hot on the heels of Premier Ford facing intense pressure to release his personal cellphone records — the same phone he uses for official business, with sources saying that his chief of staff and senior aides dodge government communication disclosure laws by utilizing encrypted apps like WhatsApp and Signal.

When access to information shrinks, accountability dies.

Journalists can’t break stories. Researchers can’t expose failures. Families and communities lose their voice against policies that reshape their lives.

This isn’t partisan; it affects everyone. The government may view transparency as a “burden,” but really, it’s the bare minimum in a democracy.

If the government is truly acting in the best interest of the public, then why make it harder for the public to see how they’re shaping policy and decisions?

The public has a right to know, and that means access that isn’t coming in the form of heavily redacted fragments months later.

Bank Of America Settles Lawsuit Over Ties To Jeffrey Epstein’s Sex Crimes

Bank of America has reached a settlement with an anonymous woman who accused the financial giant of enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation and profiting from his criminal enterprise.

Lawyers for both parties informed a judge they had agreed to a “settlement in principle” according to court filings made public on Monday that The Financial Times reported. The proposed agreement contains undisclosed terms and awaits judicial approval at a hearing scheduled for early April. Bank of America declined to comment on the matter.

The woman filed her lawsuit in October of last year in Manhattan federal court under the pseudonym Jane Doe. She sought class action status and financial damages while accusing BofA of “participating in and financially benefiting from Jeffrey Epstein’s widespread and well-publicised sex-trafficking operation, as well as the direct financial benefits it received therefrom.”

According to her complaint, the plaintiff first encountered Epstein while living in Russia in 2011.

She resided in New York from 2011 to 2019 during which time the convicted sex offender abused her. The lawsuit alleged that Bank of America failed to file suspicious activity reports to law enforcement about questionable transactions “before it was far too late” and ignored red flags the bank had a legal responsibility to report.

“A review of Jane Doe’s account history will show incredibly alarming and erratic banking behaviour,” the initial complaint stated.

The anonymous woman described opening a Bank of America account in 2013 that Epstein and his accountant Richard Kahn allegedly used to pay her monthly rent.

This arrangement purportedly created documentation used to “defraud immigration officials.”

O’Keefe Media Group Releases Undercover Video Exposing a California Elections Fraud Cash for Ballots Scheme – DOJ Responds

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released part one of its investigation into a California elections fraud cash for ballots scheme.

James O’Keefe and his team of journalists went undercover on Skid Row in Los Angeles posing as homeless people.

‘Petitioners’ told the undercover journalists that they are paid between $7-$10 per signature. Some of them earn up to $1,000 per day.

“California NGOs Encourage Fake Addresses To Homeless People To Sign Petitions & Register Voters, A State & Federal Felony. Footage Shows 28 Instances Of Cash Changing Hands For Ballot Signatures & Voter Registration Forms,” they said.

“Many of the petitioners had no understanding of the petitions’ purpose they were advertising. Circulators also instructed individuals to use fake addresses. “Oh, you can just fake an address.”” OMG reported.

“Weingart Center, which received hundreds of millions in public funding, is on tape directing people to where the fraudulent petitioners are located, and directing homeless individuals to petitioners & coaching plausible deniability,” OMG said.

O’Keefe Media Group reporters encountered “28 instances of petitioners offering cash, cigarettes, and marijuana for signatures on petitions.”

“See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea,’” a Weingart Center employee told the undercover journalist.

New Orleans ‘Anti-Police’ Defense Attorney Indicted for Wire Fraud

An ‘anti-police’ New Orleans defense attorney was indicted for wire fraud on Friday.

Tanzanika Ruffin allegedly stole $250,000 from a client and used the money to fund a lavish lifestyle.

This is not the first time that Ruffin has been accused of criminal conduct.

She was fired from as an assistant district attorney in 2004 for extortion allegations.

“Ruffin was fired from the DA’s office more than 20 years ago for extortion allegations. The DA’s office later dismissed the allegations, and the Bar suspended her license for a short period,” WDSU reported.

Per the Justice Department:

On Friday, March 13, 2026, a Federal Grand Jury indicted TANZANIKA RUFFIN (“RUFFIN”), age 48, for wire fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343, announced U.S. Attorney David I. Courcelle.

According to the indictment, RUFFIN defrauded approximately $250,000 from her clients’ family. RUFFIN made numerous misrepresentations to the family regarding the $250,000.

RUFFIN falsely told her client and his family that they had to compensate a New Orleans Police Department (“NOPD”) officer for various fictitious injuries and harms that the officer had allegedly suffered.

RUFFIN also falsely represented that she had confected a “Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement” (“NDA”) with the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office and the NOPD officer.

According to RUFFIN, this fabricated NDA required her client’s family to keep confidential any discussions about a financial settlement.

In truth and in fact, no such NDA existed. Instead, RUFFIN spent all the money on personal and unauthorized expenditures and did not give any funds to the NOPD officer.

If convicted, RUFFIN faces a maximum penalty of twenty (20) years of imprisonment, up to three (3) years of supervised release, a fine of up to $250,000, and payment of a mandatory $100 special assessment fee.

Something Just Happened in Minnesota That Completely Altered My View of Reality

Minnesota’s Housing Stabilization Services (HSS), signed into law by then-Gov. Mark Dayton (Fricken Commie Labor-Dem) in 2017, came into effect in 2020 under Gov. Tim “Jazz Hands” Walz (Fricken Commie Labor-Dem). The three-year implementation wait was due to the need for federal approval “via a state plan amendment under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services,” as my paid LLM research assistant put it.

Stick a pin in that part about federal funding. It becomes important in just a few short paragraphs. 

Anyway, HSS was one of those innocuous-sounding and ostensibly well-meaning programs purportedly meant to, as the Minnesota Prairie County Alliance put it, “help people with disabilities, including mental illness and substance use disorder, and seniors find and keep housing.”

But before we get to the juicy meat of the story, also tuck away in the back of your brain that I felt the names “innocuous-sounding,” “ostensibly well-meaning,” and “purportedly” before even getting to the substance of the program. 

“KARE 11 Investigates began publishing reports on Housing Stabilization Services last spring,” the local station reported Monday, “ultimately uncovering widespread fraud that included questionable billing, bribes, falsifying of records, and even billing for dead clients.” 

“Internal emails, fraud referrals, and county investigative reports obtained by KARE 11 now reveal a pattern of ignored alarms that left vulnerable Minnesotans waiting for help that never came while the state’s costs skyrocketed.”

CBS News has the shocking numbers: “When HSS launched in 2020, the estimated cost was about $2.5 million a year. But by 2024, it ballooned to over $100 million.” This year’s projected cost: $125 million.

Number of needy people actually provided with housing: [Shrug Emoji].

Bombshell Whistleblower Report: Mueller’s Anti-Trump Witch Hunters Drank on the Job, Tried to Doctor Records, Violated Security Rules

Well, well, well.

Looks like all those people mocked for wearing tinfoil hats were right about deep state — again.

Despite the fervent complaints from the left that the deep state doesn’t exist, President Donald Trump and his administration are painfully aware that it does.

And Trump has a very good reason to be furious with the deep state, especially if a new, bombshell whistleblower report contains even a kernel of truth.

In a New York Post exclusive, an FBI agent who was a part of then-special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into claims that Trump and members of his campaign colluded with Russia to affect the 2016 election came out with some damning allegations directed at how that investigation unfolded.

The New York Post dug up details on these December 2020 allegations after GOP Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley wrote to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel Sunday, referencing some of these disturbing claims.

Grassley said that the allegations confirm “long-standing concerns that political bias rotted the decision-making process within the Mueller team.”

And “rot” might be an understatement.

From the outset, if this agent’s claims are true, it was clear that this wasn’t an unbiased investigation interested in the truth, so much as it was a biased witch hunt interested in taking down Trump.

After all, how can anyone expect a fair investigation when agents were drinking on the job and plastering anti-Trump cartoons on the walls? That’s not exactly befitting of an arbiter of justice. And yet, somehow, it gets worse.

Not only was this investigation biased from the get-go, it also tried to cover up this fact by ordering people to doctor records.

In one glaring example of this, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe spoke of Trump “in a derogatory manner” while on record for an official interview. The agent claimed that Justice Department prosecutors tried to pressure a female FBI agent to “change the tone of the [document] to reflect that McCabe spoke about [Trump] without the negative connotation.”

The female FBI agent refused to do so, and left the agency shortly after her time with the Mueller probe was over.

Compounding matters, some of these anti-Trump witch hunters held a flagrant disregard for security protocol.

The FBI agent alleged that Zainad Ahmad, the prosecutor for the Mueller probe and a protege of former Barack Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch, was constantly breaking security protocols.

“For example, she brought classified documents to a meeting at WFO [Washington Field Office] without adherence to FBI security policy by bringing her classified notebook to the meeting without a proper carrying bag,” the agent alleged. “What was worse, she came to WFO from her residence, meaning she kept her notebook at the residence.”

The security protocol issue should infuriate you, as an American, regardless of whether you love or detest Trump. If the FBI can be this biased, destructive, and flippant when it comes to investigating Trump, the FBI can be this biased, destructive, and flippant when it comes to anyone.
