DHS Ends TSA Collective Bargaining After Bombshell Finding Of ‘More Full-Time Union Workers’ Than Airport Screeners

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is ending collective bargaining for Transportation Security Officers with the TSA, Fox News reports, citing a release obtained by Fox Business.

According to the report, The TSA has more people doing “full-time union work” vs. performing actual screening functions at 86% of US airports. Put another way, 374 out of 432 federalized airports have fewer than 200 TSA Officers to perform screening functions, while the rest are paid by the government but work “full-time on union matters” and do not retain certification to perform screening.

What’s more, DHS cited a recent TSA employee survey which found that over 60% of “poor performers” are allowed to stay employed and “not surprisingly, continue to not perform.”

(Also, maybe get rid of the nut-grabbers in the TSA patdown area when we don’t want to submit to those Total Recall scanners made by Leidos – formerly SAIC).

Could a Bombshell Discovery Render All of Biden’s Presidential Actions ‘Null and Void’?

The Biden presidency might have been the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the American people. A shocking investigation by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project has revealed that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden’s signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen — except for one.

What makes this revelation particularly damning is that the only document confirmed to have Biden’s actual signature was his letter announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Let that sink in for a moment.

Remember when House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) revealed his discussion with Biden when Biden couldn’t recall signing the executive order halting LNG exports? Now we know why — he probably didn’t. The real question is: Who did? Who was running the country while Biden was not all there?

The use of the presidential autopen dates back to the 1950s, and there’s been much debate about its legality. In 2013, Barack Obama became the first president to sign a bill into law using an autopen. He was vacationing in Hawaii at the time. His office relied on a 30-page memo from President George W. Bush’s legal team asserting that the president’s presence was not required as long as said president had authorized the signature. 

What’s not clear, in the case of Biden, is who was running the autopen and whether Biden was aware it was happening. 

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is demanding that the Department of Justice investigate whether Biden’s obvious cognitive decline allowed unelected bureaucrats to essentially run the government without presidential oversight. If this is true — and let’s be honest, all signs point to yes — every executive order, every pardon, and every official action taken under Biden’s name could be constitutionally void.

Biased UN Report on Nicaragua Ignores Victims of US-Backed Opposition Violence

Reynaldo Urbina rides his motorbike around the streets of Masaya, Nicaragua, with agility, despite having only one arm. Nearly seven years ago, at the height of a US- supported coup attempt against Nicaragua’s left-wing Sandinista government, Urbina was one of those guarding the city’s municipal warehouse when it was attacked by around 200 armed protestors. Warned of the impending attack, the guards had been ordered to hide their weapons and not resist capture, to minimize casualties.

But Urbina was suspected of knowing the whereabouts of the city’s mayor, whom the hooligans sought to assassinate, so they threw him to the ground and smashed his left arm with a rifle butt until it was practically destroyed. Urbina escaped, but his arm could not be saved, and was later amputated.

When a team was sent by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to Nicaragua to collect evidence on human rights abuses a few weeks later, Urbina was among those offered by the government as a witness. But the team refused to meet him.

The UN’s 40-page report, issued in August 2018, devotes just five paragraphs to violence by anti-government factions; the rest blames the government and its supporters for practically every other violent incident, including many (like an arson attack on a pro-Sandinista radio station) that were clearly part of the coup attempt.

Some time after the coup attempt, Nicaragua’s then vice-minister for foreign affairs, Valdrack Jaentschke, described an exchange with Paulo Abrão, who was the Executive Secretary of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. The IACHR was another of the bodies which had launched investigations of human rights abuses in 2018. Valdrack had asked Abrão why visiting investigators were not collecting evidence of the severe opposition violence which had taken place. Abrão gave two reasons: that human rights abuses can only be carried out by the state, and that violence by civil society groups is just “common criminality” and therefore not within the investigators’ mandate.

Who is Peter Mandelson, Starmer’s pick for U.S. ambassador?

Peter Mandelson, Keir Starmer’s choice for British ambassador to the US, co-owns a business that helps companies “see opportunities in politics, regulation and public policy”.

Mandelson, who has a long history of favouring corporations in often scandalous situations, looks set to keep his shares in this company while supposedly representing the UK.

He founded his lobbying company, Global Counsel, in 2010, creating a lucrative business from his political contacts built up while a minister under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. 

Mandelson stood down from Global Counsel’s board last year – probably in preparation for a post with Starmer’s government – but remains one of the two largest shareholders of the firm, owning over 25% of the company. 

According to Companies House he is a “person with significant control” of Global Counsel. 

I asked the Foreign Office if Mandelson must give up his ownership of Global Counsel to be ambassador. 

They did not answer directly, telling me: “There is an established regime in place for the management of interests held by ambassadors or High Commissioners. This ensures that steps are taken to avoid or mitigate any actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest.”

The Foreign Office would not give any more detail of this “regime”.

Woke Oregon county commissioner charged with 8 felonies for allegedly stealing from 83-year-old in fraud scheme

An Oregon county commissioner has been charged with several felonies for allegedly stealing from an elderly victim in a major fraud scheme. Melissa Fireside, 43, a Democrat, was arraigned on charges Wednesday. She is a newly elected Clackamas County Commissioner representing District One.

Fireside faces eight felony charges including first-degree theft, first-degree aggravated theft, two counts of identity theft, two counts of computer crimes, and two counts of first-degree forgery, according to court filings. The commissioner has been accused of taking financial advantage of an 83-year-old man while accessing a computer network. She allegedly forged the victim’s name on documents to steal his funds, per the indictment. The total stolen amounted to tens of thousands of dollars over a series of at least eight separate criminal incidents.

Fireside is being prosecuted by the Oregon Department of Justice. She has also been accused of forging the signature of Democrat state Rep. April Dobson, who represents Happy Valley, to steal the victim’s funds. A Clackamas County judge ordered Fireside to have no contact with both the victim and Dobson during Wednesday’s hearing. She was not remanded to custody.

According to the indictment, Fireside “unlawfully and knowingly accessed a computer for the purpose of committing theft of money.” This included forging or altering several promissory notes: one for $29,000 and another for $30,000. The first recorded criminal act occurred on September 16, 2024, according to court documents.

“Kash Patel and Pam Bondi Will Learn About This… I Suspect Heads Will Roll” — Attorney Ty Clevenger Responds After FBI Refuses to Release Seth Rich Records on March 10

The corrupt FBI has once again refused to release crucial records related to the 2016 murder of Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Seth Rich.

Attorney Ty Clevenger, who has been battling for years to obtain these documents, reported that the FBI is stonewalling yet again, refusing to comply with his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

Rich was murdered in Washington, D.C., in the summer of 2016, shortly before WikiLeaks released the infamous Clinton emails.

On Monday, Clevenger took to X to reveal that the FBI will not be releasing Seth Rich-related records as expected on March 10th. Instead, the corrupt bureau plans to provide only a Vaughn index—a limited document listing withheld files and the reasons for their concealment.

Pam Bondi Announces She Received a ‘TRUCKLOAD’ of Epstein Documents from SDNY After Being Misled by FBI

Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed in a bombshell interview with Sean Hannity on Monday that Kash Patel’s FBI has finally received a truckload of previously withheld Jeffrey Epstein documents from the Southern District of New York (SDNY).

Last Thursday’s so-called “Epstein Files: Phase One” was a colossal disappointment — heavily redacted pages handed over to a select group of MAGA influencers.

Bondi had hyped the release on Fox News with Jesse Watters the night before, promising “flight logs, names, and a lot of information” about Epstein’s depraved criminal network.

Conservatives braced for a bombshell that would finally unmask the elite swamp creatures tied to the notorious pedophile. Instead, they got a dud.

Appearing on Life, Liberty & Levin with Mark Levin, Bondi dropped the hammer: she’d been misled.

“I was assured 120 pages was all there was,” she told Levin. “I kept saying, ‘There has to be more.’ Kash Patel asked the same thing and got the same line. Then a whistleblower tipped me off—SDNY was sitting on thousands of pages.”

The FBI initially handed over only a few hundred pages, far less than expected. However, a whistleblower alerted Bondi that the bulk of the Epstein files were actually sitting in SDNY. Bondi set a firm deadline: Friday at 8 a.m. for all remaining documents to be turned over.

The Many Faces of Corruption: How Politicians Exploit the System

Corruption is like a hydra. Cut off one head, and two more grow in its place. It’s not just about shady backroom deals or envelopes stuffed with cash. Corruption wears many masks, and politicians have mastered the art of switching them on and off depending on who’s watching. Let’s break down the different ways those in power exploit the system—because understanding the game is the first step to beating it.

Bribery: The Classic Move

Bribery is the oldest trick in the book. It’s simple: money talks, and politicians listen. But it’s not always as obvious as a briefcase full of cash. Sometimes, it’s a “donation” to a campaign fund, a luxury vacation disguised as a “fact-finding mission,” or a lucrative job offer for a family member.

The problem with bribery is that it’s often hidden in plain sight. A corporation donates millions to a politician’s reelection campaign, and suddenly, laws favoring that corporation start popping up. Coincidence? Maybe. But when you see the same pattern over and over, it’s hard to believe it’s just luck.

Nepotism: Keeping It in the Family

Nepotism is the practice of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs. It’s like a family business, except the business is running a country. Politicians often hand out high-paying, influential positions to their kids, spouses, or college buddies—regardless of whether they’re qualified.

This isn’t just about fairness. When unqualified people are put in positions of power, the whole system suffers. Policies get botched, resources are wasted, and public trust erodes. But for the politicians involved, it’s a win-win. They get to reward their inner circle while tightening their grip on power.

Embezzlement: Stealing from the People

Embezzlement is when someone in power steals money they’re supposed to be managing. Think of it as a politician dipping into the public treasury to fund their lavish lifestyle. It’s not just greedy—it’s betrayal.

This type of corruption is especially insidious because it often goes unnoticed for years. By the time anyone catches on, the money is long gone, and the politician has moved on to their next scheme. And even if they’re caught, the punishment is often a slap on the wrist. After all, who’s going to hold them accountable? The same system they’ve rigged in their favor?

Elon Musk Drops Truth Bomb on Washington’s Corrupt Money Machine: “This is Really Going to Get Me Assassinated”

Elon Musk just dropped a bombshell on the Joe Rogan Experience, confirming what many Americans have long suspected—Washington, D.C. is a cesspool of corruption, and the Democrats are the primary beneficiaries.

“I think maybe three-quarters of the graft is Democratic. I think there’s maybe 20–25% that’s Republican,” Musk revealed, exposing how the system is rigged for political elites.

“Most of the graft is going to the Democrats, but they throw some bones to the Republicans too, so then they’re in on it.”

In a shocking but unsurprising exchange, Musk and Rogan discussed the absurd wealth accumulation of members of Congress, who are somehow able to transform their modest $170,000-a-year salaries into multimillion-dollar fortunes.

Musk didn’t hold back, stating, “It’s literally impossible” for these politicians to legally amass such wealth.

The conversation inevitably turned to one of the most notorious examples of Washington corruption: former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and his husband Paul Pelosi.

It can be recalled that Paul Pelosi dumped over $500,000 worth of Visa stock just weeks before the Department of Justice slapped the financial giant with an antitrust lawsuit.

Following the lawsuit’s announcement, Visa’s stock price plummeted by 5.5%, leading to speculation about the timing of Pelosi’s stock sale.

Former President Donald Trump has publicly called for Nancy Pelosi to face prosecution over the transaction, suggesting that the sale was not coincidental.

“Nancy Pelosi sold vast amounts of Visa stock one day before the big lawsuit that we all read about a few days ago,” Trump said. “She should be prosecuted… Nancy Pelosi should be prosecuted for that.” 

This incident is not isolated. The Pelosis have a history of fortuitously timed trades that have consistently outperformed the market, leading to widespread speculation about the use of nonpublic information for personal gain.

For instance, in 2023, their investment portfolio reportedly achieved a 65% return, significantly surpassing the S&P 500’s 24% gain. ​

Moreover, in 2022, Paul Pelosi purchased over $1 million in Nvidia call options just weeks before a congressional vote on substantial subsidies to the chip manufacturing industry, raising further eyebrows about potential conflicts of interest.

In the same year, Paul Pelosi dumped 20,000 shares of Google stock in December—a month before the Department of Justice and Merrick Garland filed their antitrust lawsuit.

Nancy Pelosi has consistently denied any wrongdoing, asserting that she does not own any stocks and has no involvement in her husband’s financial transactions.

SCANDAL IN NEW YORK! Governor Kathy Hochul, “The Queen of Corruption,” Allegedly Rigged to $9 Billion Medicaid Contract.

An explosive lawsuit accused this darling of the Democratic left to have shamelessly manipulated the bidding process for a massive Medicaid contract—a program partially funded by the federal government—to favor her out-of-state cronies. The prize? A cool $9 billion.

Yes, you read that right: $9 billion! This isn’t a typo—it’s the size of the foot Hochul could have allegedly been rigged to fatten the pockets of his pals while everyday New Yorkers watch their healthcare system crumble.

Welcome to the circus of progressive corruption, where hypocrisy is the currency and taxpayers are the clowns.

The accusation targets the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), designed to help the most vulnerable with in-home healthcare.

Hochul and his administration allegedly twisted the bidding process to hand the judgment contract to an out-of-state company, bypassing all transparency and fair competition.

The result? A firm with no roots in the state pocketed control of a vital program, while local providers were left high and dry.ADVERTISEMENT

Democratic Representative Ritchie Torres, in a rare moment of clarity for someone from his party, blew the lid off the scandal and demanded an investigation .

Torres points out that this company started hiring staff for the contract before it was even officially announced!

Coincidence? Please—this reeks of a fix from Albany to Manhattan.

Torres didn’t mince words: “There’s something rotten in the state of New York under Kathy Hochul’s watch.” And he’s right, even if it’s a Democrat saying it.
