WHOA! Brennan Erupts on Former Senior Advisor For Tulsi Gabbard Over Russia Hoax and Hunter Laptop

Former CIA Director John Brennan could not contain his anger as he was confronted by a career intelligence officer who worked at the DNI for a senior advisor for Tulsi Gabbard.

Thomas Speciale, a former senior advisor for Tulsi Gabbard on Thursday confronted John Brennan at a conference and it didn’t go well.

“I don’t know who put you up to this!” Brennan shouted at Speciale during the conference after he confronted him about the fake dossier and the ICA report.

“I don’t know who put you up to this or I don’t know what role you played or who you are but it’s a bunch of bullshit that you just passed off,” Brennan shouted.

After the conference, Thomas Speciale walked up to John Brennan and confronted him directly about his signing the 51 Intelligence Officer Memo knowing full well that Hunter Biden’s laptop was real – and not Russian disinformation.

In 2020, 51 top intel officials — including Brennan — lied about Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell to interfere in the election.

The intel leaders all lied. They knew it was a lie. Joe Biden knew it was a lie. The media knew this was a lie.

The Biden Campaign and then-Secretary of State Tony Blinken organized the massive lie.

Brennan erupted on Thomas Speciale as he confronted him.

A very angry and red-faced Brennan assaulted Speciale and got in his face.

“You misrepresented that!” Brennan said. “We never said it was disinformation. We said it was a Russian influence operation! Which is what they do!”

Brennan continued, “it’s an influence operation! No! You don’t know that!”

After realizing that he probably went too far, Brennan walked away.

Gates Foundation under fire: Senate Judiciary Committee investigates millions funneled by nonprofit to Beijing-linked entities

U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has launched an investigation into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s alleged funneling of tens of millions in grants to entities tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The probe was revealed in a letter dated Monday, Oct. 27, to Gates Foundation CEO Mark Suzman. The investigation by Grassley centers on whether these payments violate U.S. tax laws prohibiting 501(c)(3) charities from directly supporting foreign governments. It also serves as a striking escalation of scrutiny over nonprofit transparency and national security concerns.

According to Grassley’s findings, the Gates Foundation in 2023 directed $11.7 million to various CCP-controlled agencies, $2 million to a corporation linked by the Department of War to China’s military and $6.7 million to state-run universities bolstering Chinese paramount leader Xi Jinping’s regime. Tax filings from 2022 reportedly showed an additional $23 million distributed to over 20 Chinese entities – some explicitly labeled as “foreign governments.”

While categorized as public health or research initiatives, U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations strictly bar tax-exempt organizations from funding foreign governments without special exemptions. Grassley’s letter demands detailed documentation, including whether grants supported China’s Belt and Road Initiative – a global infrastructure project accused of debt-trap diplomacy. He also questioned whether the foundation obtained required IRS determinations proving funds served charitable purposes, not CCP interests.

Civil terrorism expert Jason Curtis Anderson of One City Rising praised the inquiry. He nevertheless warned: “Without concrete enforcement – audits, sanctions or revoked tax-exempt status – this letter [by Grassley] risks being just a warning.”

Biden White House ADMITS It Followed Media Spin to Dismiss “Cheap Fakes”

Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee exposed how the Biden administration—under former President Joe Biden—relied on media spin to protect his public image. 

Jean-Pierre admitted that the administration used the term “cheap fakes,” a label invented by liberal media outlets, to dismiss viral videos showing Biden appearing confused, frozen, or disoriented. 

When asked whether the administration had verified any of the videos before repeating that claim, she admitted it had not. The White House had followed the media’s lead.

This admission reveals how the Biden team prioritized narrative over truth. 

Rather than independently assessing evidence, the administration amplified the media’s language to downplay legitimate concerns about the president’s behavior. 

Jean-Pierre’s testimony confirms that political optics took precedence over transparency, even when the issue involved the public’s trust in a sitting president.

The reality is that many of the so-called “cheap fakes” weren’t fake at all. 

Unedited footage from the 2024 Juneteenth concert showed Biden standing motionless while others danced around him. 

At the G7 summit in Italy, cameras captured Biden wandering away from a group of world leaders until Italy’s Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, gently redirected him back.

The incident, widely circulated on social media, showed other leaders looking on awkwardly as Biden appeared disoriented, reinforcing growing concerns about his awareness and ability to engage in high-level diplomacy.

Independent fact-checkers later confirmed that those clips were authentic and unaltered—contradicting the White House’s claims.

WILD BODY CAM VIDEO: Arizona Judge Busted Drunk and Urinating in Public, Cops Drag Away Husband — She Resigns in Disgrace

Yavapai County Superior Court Judge Pro Tempore Kristyne Schaaf-Olson has resigned in disgrace after being caught urinating in public while heavily intoxicated in Prescott, Arizona.

The incident unfolded in the early hours of October 4, around 1:30 a.m., when witnesses alerted police to the 42-year-old judge squatting in shrubbery with her pants down.

Body camera footage obtained by Fox 10 captured the grotesque scene, with an officer confronting Schaaf-Olson, declaring, “This is disgusting,” and “This is unacceptable.”

The judge was so inebriated she couldn’t even spell her own name, leading the officer to describe her as “useless.”

“She’s useless. She can’t even spell her name,” the officer says.

The drama escalated when her husband, Jason Olson, the parks and recreation manager for the Town of Chino Valley, tried to intervene. He repeatedly ignored officers’ commands to back off and attempted to pull his wife away from questioning.

An officer warned him, “I’m going to f—king throw you on the ground if you resist,” before hauling him into a police cruiser.

Jason Olson was cited for resisting arrest, interfering with a crime scene investigation, and obstruction of government operations.

Schaaf-Olson was cited for urinating or defecating in public.

Just two days after the incident, Schaaf-Olson submitted her resignation to Presiding Judge John Napper, citing “current physical, medical, and family circumstances.”

In her statement, she said, “The Yavapai community deserves and has judges who are steadfast in their commitment to serving Yavapai County, considering current events in my life, I believe it would be difficult to honor this commitment. I have therefore decided to resign.”

Presiding Judge Napper responded, “I respect and appreciate Ms. Schaaf-Olson’s decision to resign. On behalf of the Yavapai County Superior Court, I appreciate the time that Ms. Schaaf-Olson has served our community and her willingness to remain in her position while the Court selects a new Pro Tempore.”

The disgraced judge’s final day on the bench was October 31.

Arab League chief exposes secret US deal shielding Israel’s nukes

Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit has revealed what he described as a “secret agreement” between the United States and “Israel,” under which Washington pledged to remain silent about “Israel’s” nuclear arsenal in exchange for its permanent secrecy.

In a televised interview with Egypt’s Sada El-Balad channel, Aboul Gheit explained that “the agreement stipulates that Israel pledges never to speak, no matter how many centuries pass, about its nuclear arsenal, while America, in turn, promises to remain silent.”

The Arab League chief accused Washington of deceiving Arab nations, recalling meetings in Cairo and Washington where US officials urged Egypt to ratify the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in return for US pressure on “Israel” to follow suit. “Egypt refused,” he said, noting that such pressure “never materialized.”

US protects Israeli nuclear weapons

Aboul Gheit attributed the global silence surrounding “Israel’s” undeclared nuclear weapons to US protection, describing “Israel” as being “shielded by the dominant military-political pole that has ruled the world since the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1990.”

The former Egyptian foreign minister further explained that Cairo has deliberately refrained from ratifying conventions on chemical or biological weapons, emphasizing that it “saw no need for a nuclear deterrent” because “its drawbacks far outweigh any potential benefit.”

He added that Egyptian diplomacy has consistently advocated for a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction, asserting that international inspections of “Israel’s” nuclear facilities could become “inevitable”.

Aboul Gheit concluded by warning that such developments could trigger a regional existential crisis, compelling Washington to reconsider its long-standing protection of “Israel,” noting that “Israel couldn’t even use its nuclear weapons during the 1973 war.”

Trump admin punishing inmates for protesting Epstein accomplice’s ‘VIP treatment’: report

President Donald Trump’s administration is now reportedly coming down hard on federal inmates for speaking out against the DOJ’s apparent soft treatment of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

That’s according to CNN, which reported Friday that Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) — the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee — is now demanding answers from the warden at Maxwell’s minimum security prison about what he alleges is “VIP treatment” for deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s chief accomplice. CNN host Jim Sciutto said Raskin is also questioning Maxwell getting “mysterious visitors, meal delivery and other special perks” and that the DOJ has “retaliated against inmates who dared to speak out about her fawning preferential treatment.”

Elie Honig, a legal analyst for the network, told Scuitto that while he’s less concerned with meal deliveries and meetings with visitors, the major red flag in Raskin’s letter is the allegation that inmates have been punished for drawing attention to Maxwell’s treatment.

“Apparently there are other inmates in this facility, other female inmates who have spoken out about preferential treatment to Ghislaine Maxwell and are now being punished,” Honig said. “Representative Raskin points out one particular inmate who appears to have been kicked out of a training program and moved to a higher security prison. That is a major problem, if that’s happening as retaliation.”

Honig went on to remind viewers that Maxwell shouldn’t even be at the Bryan, Texas prison — where she was moved earlier this year after a two-day meeting with Deputy Attorney General (and Trump’s former personal attorney) Todd Blanche — due to Bureau of Prisons rules. Facilities like Bryan are typically only for white-collar offenses, whereas violent offenders like those convicted of sex crimes have to serve their sentences in more restrictive conditions.

“That takes a waiver. Somebody within the Justice Department … has to specifically approve that, say, ‘I waive the normal course of proceedings and I’m okay with Ghislaine Maxwell being moved to a lower security prison,'” Honig said. “To this day, we don’t know who actually authorized that. And we’ve not gotten answers from DOJ about that.”

Democrats CAUGHT in North Carolina Cash-for-Votes Scandal—Just the Tip of a Nationwide Scheme

The North Carolina Republican Party is demanding an investigation into what appears to be a cash-for-votes operation in New Hanover County. 

Text messages allegedly offered voters $100 to cast ballots for three Democrat candidates in Wilmington’s City Council race. 

If confirmed, this would mark one of the most blatant examples of election corruption in recent state history—and it mirrors a scandal that erupted in Gary, Indiana.

In that 2023 case, Democrat precinct officials and campaign workers were charged with voter fraud after investigators discovered a coordinated effort to pay voters for absentee ballots. 

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita filed felony conspiracy charges against multiple operatives who exchanged cash for votes, a scheme that prosecutors said “struck at the very core of the democratic process.” 

Investigators found text messages, financial records, and testimony from voters who admitted they were promised small cash payments—often between $50 and $100—in return for casting absentee ballots for Democrat-backed candidates.

The similarities between the Gary and Wilmington cases are striking. Both operations allegedly used campaign “volunteers” or intermediaries to reach voters directly. 

Both involved text communications offering explicit financial incentives tied to named Democrat candidates. 

And in both states, the alleged payments targeted low-income residents—people more likely to be swayed by quick cash during election season. 

In each case, the goal was the same: to manufacture turnout for one party by turning the ballot box into a marketplace.

In North Carolina, reports indicate that messages even included links to the official county elections website to make the bribe appear legitimate.

88-Year-Old Congresswoman Is Exposed For Having 7 No-Show Jobs

Eleanor Holmes Norton, Washington D.C.’s 88-year-old congressional delegate, claims to sit on multiple boards at prestigious institutions, but investigations reveal she hasn’t been active with them in years. Some of these positions no longer even exist according to a report by Luke Goldstein and Dan Boguslaw. 

According to her latest financial disclosure, Norton lists positions on roughly half a dozen boards. However, when contacted, three organizations reported no recent contact with her, while two confirmed their boards had been dissolved years ago.

These revelations follow a troubling NBC4 report that obtained a police document detailing how scammers posing as HVAC repairmen defrauded Norton of $4,400 for services never performed. The report also noted that Norton has a caretaker with power of attorney who reported the fraud.

Norton, once a prominent civil rights leader who participated in the 1963 March on Washington, now appears to have outdated information on her ethics forms, suggesting her staff may be resubmitting portions automatically without updates.

Goldstein and Boguslaw observed that the boards Norton lists include the executive committee of the Yale Law School Association, the board of trustees for Antioch College, the lawyers committee for civil rights, and advisory boards at Georgetown’s Women’s Law & Public Policy Fellowship Program, American University’s Women and Politics Institute, and the Sewall Belmont House.

Repeated inquiries to these organizations yielded concerning responses. Norton was a founding member of Georgetown’s Women’s Law & Public Policy Fellowship Program and regularly hosted fellows for Capitol Hill lunches. However, according to a spokesperson, she hasn’t done so since 2019.

American University’s response was even more revealing: “The Women & Politics Institute no longer has an advisory board,” they wrote, per Goldstein and Boguslaw’s report. 

Similarly, representatives for the Sewall-Belmont House explained that ownership transferred to the National Park Service in 2016, and the Park Service has no record of an advisory board or Norton’s current involvement with the site.

Two congressional sources confirmed Norton is largely absent from committee meetings and planning sessions. During the Trump administration’s deployment of trfcioops to Washington D.C., Norton was nearly invisible except for a generic condemnation statement.

Republican-led hearings on D.C. crime and public safety should have been Norton’s opportunity to defend her constituents, but she struggled through a prepared statement. Sources close to city council reported her “halting” performance immediately sparked discussions about organizing efforts to push her toward retirement.

Two city council members have since announced primary challenges: Robert White, the current at-large council member, and Brooke Pinto, the Ward 2 council member.

Despite these challenges, Norton has told reporters she intends to run for re-election at age 90, though her staff maintains she hasn’t decided.

Secret details of Israel’s mammoth deal with Google and Amazon revealed – media

Israel has forced US tech giants Google and Amazon to violate their own legal obligations under a 2021 cloud services contract with West Jerusalem, according to a joint investigation by several news media outlets, including The Guardian.

The Jewish state’s contracts with US tech platforms have been under close scrutiny following widespread accusations, including from the UN, that its military response to the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack that killed over 1,200 people constitutes a genocide.

Known as Project Nimbus, the $1.2 billion deal reportedly bars the firms from restricting the Israeli government’s access to cloud services they provide, even if it violates their terms of use, the reports, carried by The Guardian along with +972 Magazine and Local Call, suggest.

The deal also reportedly requires the two companies to secretly notify West Jerusalem using a so-called “winking mechanism” should any foreign state or court seek access to Israeli data stored in the cloud.

Justice Department Launches Investigation Into Whether Black Lives Matter Leaders Defrauded Donors

The Justice Department has launched an investigation into whether Black Lives Matter leaders defrauded donors of tens of millions of dollars.

The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) raised over $90 million in 2020 during and after the George Floyd riots. They also raised more than $75 million in 2021.

The donations to BLMGNF have significantly dwindled in recent years because the majority of the public no longer supports Black Lives Matter.

The Associated Press reported that DOJ prosecutors have already issued subpoenas and “at least one search warrant.”

No other details about the investigation were released.

Fox News also reported that prosecutors are investigating BLM leaders.

AP reported:

The Justice Department is investigating whether leaders in the Black Lives Matter movement defrauded donors who contributed tens of millions of dollars during racial justice protests in 2020, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

In recent weeks, federal law enforcement officials have issued subpoenas and at least one search warrant as part of an investigation into the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. and other Black-led organizations that helped spark a national reckoning on systemic racism, said the people, who were not authorized to discuss an ongoing criminal probe by name and spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press.

It was not clear if the investigation would result in criminal charges, but its mere existence invites fresh scrutiny to a movement that in recent years has faced criticism about its public accounting of donations they have received. The recent burst of investigative activity is also unfolding at a time when civil rights groups have raised concerns about the potential for the Trump administration to target a broad variety of progressive and left-leaning groups that have been critical of him, including those affiliated with BLM, the transgender rights movement and anti-ICE protesters.

Last year the former head of Black Lives Matter Atlanta was sentenced to prison for stealing donations to fund his lavish lifestyle.

Tyree Conyers-Page was sentenced to 42 months in prison after he was found guilty on one count of wire fraud and three counts of money laundering
