Former NIH Director Francis Collins Abruptly Retires From Agency After Docs Previously Revealed He Lied About His Involvement with Gain-of-Function Research in Wuhan Lab

Former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins abruptly retired from the agency on Saturday amid accusations of perjury.

In 2021, Dr. Francis Collins resigned just a few weeks after documents exposed he lied about his involvement in gain-of-function research in the Wuhan lab.

“It has been an incredible privilege to lead this great agency for more than a decade,” Collins said in a statement.

“I love this agency and its people so deeply that the decision to step down was a difficult one, done in close counsel with my wife, Diane Baker, and my family. I am proud of all we’ve accomplished. I fundamentally believe, however, that no single person should serve in the position too long, and that it’s time to bring in a new scientist to lead the NIH into the future. I’m most grateful and proud of the NIH staff and the scientific community, whose extraordinary commitment to lifesaving research delivers hope to the American people and the world every day.”

Recall, Francis Collins in the summer of 2021 said parents should wear masks at home in front of their unvaccinated children.

Collins conceded that it “may sound weird” that people should wear masks in their homes, but he advised it anyway.

“Parents of unvaccinated kids should be thoughtful about this and the recommendation is to wear masks [at home] as well,” Collins said. “I know that’s uncomfortable. I know it seems weird but it is the best way to protect your kids.”

This kind of lunacy wasn’t even advised before Covid vaccines were available.

Panicked AOC Sends Desperate Letter to AG Pam Bondi, Begging to Know if She’s Under Investigation for Coaching Criminal Aliens on How to Evade ICE

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the firebrand socialist darling of the radical left, is sweating bullets.

And who’s got her running scared? None other than America’s no-nonsense “Border Czar,” Tom Homan, who’s vowed to hold her accountable.

In a frantic letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the New York congresswoman is scrambling to find out if the Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating her for coaching illegal aliens on how to evade ICE.

The controversy erupted when Tom Homan openly criticized Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, accusing her of leveraging her platform to obstruct immigration enforcement efforts.

This accusation follows his statement on February 13, 2025, where Homan revealed his request to the Deputy Attorney General to initiate a probe into AOC’s activities, ominously noting that she would be “in trouble now.”

Tom Homan told Laura Ingraham: I sent an email today to Deputy Attorney General. At what level is that impedement? Is that impediment? I’m not an attorney. I’m not a prosecutor. Is that impediment? Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts. If so, what are we going to do about it? Is she crossing the line? I’m working with the Department of Justice and finding out where is that line that they cross.

AOC proudly announced that she was holding webinars to teach illegal aliens how to avoid ICE agents in New York City.

The letter sent on Thursday reads like a paranoid manifesto from a politician who knows the jig might be up.

IRS Won’t Reveal Addresses of Illegal Aliens After Request from ICE Officials

IRS officials have decided to conceal the home addresses of some 700,000 people suspected of being in the United States illegally, according to a report from the Washington Post.

The decision came on a request from immigration enforcement officials for those locations, and it was the IRS “rebuffing” attempts by the administration of President Donald Trump to gain access to that information for his crackdown on illegals.

The report noted that the Internal Revenue Service had promised “undocumented immigrants” over the years that it would protect their information and it would be safe for them to file income tax documents “without fear of being deported.”

And the IRS said the law doesn’t allow the release of personal information, even to another government agency.

AT the time, the IRS claimed, “There is no authorization under this provision to share tax data with ICE.”

The report said an estimated one-half of the 11 million illegal aliens in the country file income tax returns, filing with individual taxpayer numbers, or ITINs, as they are ineligible for Social Security numbers.

The report credited this population with paying billions of dollars in federal taxes.

The report said the Washington Post got access to a memo in which Department of Homeland Security officials asked the IRS to link the names with a last known address, phone number or email, and the request was a followup to a DHS request weeks ago that would let immigration officials turn over a list of names to the IRS in order to get home addresses.

The publication said five anonymous people familiar with the scenario made those claims.

Then this week a memo asked the IRS “to deploy dozens of highly skilled IRS auditors and criminal investigators to launch probes of businesses suspected of hiring immigrants not authorized to work in the United States,” the report said.

This US Army Colonel Just Figured Out How to Nail Every FBI Agent Withholding Epstein Files and Make It Stick

Thursday’s confusion surrounding the release of files pertaining to the late accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein left many people exasperated.

In short, the corrupt and tyrannical FBI appears to have ignored direct orders from Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Thursday on the social media platform X, Retired U.S. Army Col. Kurt Schlichter, a senior columnist for Townhall.com, suggested an interesting and plausible solution to Bondi’s problem with insubordination in FBI ranks.

On Wednesday evening, the attorney general told Jesse Watters of Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” that she would likely release Epstein-related files the following day.

That announcement, of course, built substantial anticipation for Thursday’s promised revelation.

On Thursday afternoon, however, Bondi appeared to have botched that revelation when she or someone close to her in President Donald Trump’s administration presented a small group of conservative social media influencers with binders purporting to represent the first phase of the Epstein files release. Photos of those influencers smiling and holding the binders as they stood outside the White House began circulating on X.

When finally made available for public view, the contents of those binders revealed nothing of significance.

Later on Thursday, Bondi released a letter accusing the FBI Field Office in New York of having deceived her. In the letter, addressed to new FBI Director Kash Patel, she demanded delivery of all Epstein-related materials to her office by 8 a.m. EST Friday.

Then, Patel announced on X that the new FBI under his direction would prioritize transparency and accountability.

Finally, on Thursday evening’s episode of his show, Watters reviewed the events of the day and suggested that federal officials in New York, including both the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, might have deliberately ignored Bondi’s order as part of a years-long cover-up motivated by the federal government’s insidious connection to Epstein’s activities.

If so, then Bondi and Patel have their work cut out for them. And Schlichter offered one possible solution.

US Attorney Ed Martin Transfers Crooked Biden DOJ Prosecutors to Misdemeanor Court Who Fabricated Evidence Against Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and Then Sent Them to Prison for a Decade

Reuters reported on Friday that interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin is transferring numerous Biden DOJ prosecutors to pursue misdemeanor offenses in the DC Superior Court.

They should consider themselves lucky after what they did to innocent Americans!

Politico posted a list of names of the demoted DOJ prosecutors who built phony cases against Trump supporters in an attempt to ruin their lives and spread fear of the regime across the nation.

Those demoted include John Crabb and Elizabeth Aloi, who prosecuted contempt of Congress cases that sent Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro to jail for four months apiece. They include Jason McCullough, who helped lead the team that sent top Proud Boys leaders Enrique Tarrio, Joe Biggs and Ethan Nordean to prison for their role in orchestrating the breach of the Capitol. And they include Kathryn Rakoczy, who was a lead prosecutor in the Jan. 6 cases of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and more than a dozen of his allies, for their involvement in the attack on the Capitol.

Greg Rosen, who headed the Capitol Siege section in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, also was demoted. One prosecutor who worked for Rosen until recently, Brendan Ballou, praised Rosen and decried the wave of reassignments.

Just a reminder — these are the same men that made-up evidence to secure convictions against the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys during their trials.

Pharma-Sponsored Media Launches Measles Fear Campaign Based on Distorted Science

A google search for ‘measles’ reveals the coordinated fear campaign propagated by pharma-sponsored mass media…

Is there a reason to cower in fear as the news suggests and rush to get MMR booster shots? No, especially not for healthy children. However, we must remember that children with multiple comorbidities can face serious outcomes, as with any disease. It’s important to approach these discussions with a level-headed assessment of individual risk rather than reacting to sensationalized headlines.

Measles outbreaks occur every year across the United States despite 90.8% MMR vaccine uptake…

Shedding of measles vaccine RNA is a recognized phenomenon, with detectable levels in nasopharyngeal samples for up to 29 days post-vaccination (Washam et al). This shedding results from the replication of the attenuated vaccine virus, which can be transmitted to close contacts.

President Trump Says “Either Joe or Hunter” Left Cocaine at The White House, “I Think I’ll Look Into That”

President Trump, in his latest sit-down interview with The Spectator’s Ben Domenech, revealed either Joe or Hunter Biden left the cocaine that was discovered inside a bin at the White House’s West Wing.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, a bag of cocaine was discovered at the West Wing of the White House in July 2023.

Investigators had a partial DNA hit at the time.

The Biden Administration ended their investigation without finding the culprit.

The topic of the cocaine at the White House was brought up by Domenech, The Spectator’s editor at large when he asked President Trump, “Who actually left the cocaine in the White House?”

Trump, without any hesitation, responded, “Well, either Joe or Hunter. Could be Joe, too.”

The 47th President added, “OK, so that was such a terrible thing because, you know, those bins are very loaded up with… they’re not clean, and they have hundreds and even thousands of fingerprints.”

Domenech then followed up Trump’s remarks by sharing, “I was briefly a Bush speechwriter. And so I knew exactly what they were talking about. And I was like, ‘Those things are filthy.’ They’re filthy.”

Trump responded, “And there were fingerprints…. Everybody in there would leave a fingerprint when they went in and that thing was wiped out with, with the strongest form of alcohol.”

Georgia Senate Launches Investigation Into Stacey Abrams and Her Nonprofit For Committing Election Fundraising Crimes

The Georgia Senate launched an investigation into Stacey Abrams and her nonprofit The New Georgia Project for illegal fundraising activity.

“Abrams and the New Georgia Project, from which she is no longer affiliated, are being investigated by the same Senate panel that has been examining Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ historic indictment of Donald Trump during the time he was out of the Oval Office,” Atlanta News First reported.

“The Senate committee will focus on alleged campaign finance violations and possibly the recent New Georgia Project firings allegedly tied to efforts to unionize the voting rights organization,” the outlet reported.

As previously reported, Francys Johnson, the head of Stacey Abrams’ nonprofit The New Georgia Project, announced he is resigning from his post after the firm was hit with a massive fine for committing campaign fundraising crimes.

Twice-failed Democrat Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams created the nonprofit in 2013 to get out the black vote.

Abrams has repeatedly claimed, without providing any evidence whatsoever, that Georgia Republicans engage in black voter suppression. She blamed her previous crushing election loss to Brian Kemp on black voter suppression.

The New Georgia Project was slapped with a $300,000 ethics fine for illegal campaign fundraising in January.

“The [State Ethics Commission’s] investigation, which lasted five years, revealed that the organization raised $4.2 million in dark money and spent $3.2 million on campaign activities,” Fox 5 Atlanta reported last month.

Biden-Appointed Judge Blocking Trump’s ‘Spending Freeze’ Always Sides With The Left

After losing at the ballot box, the left has returned to its familiar strategy of slowing President Donald Trump’s agenda through the courts. Lucky for them, former President Joe Biden appointed reliable lefty U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan in 2023 to the Washington, D.C. court.   

AliKhan has sided against the American people throughout her legal career, often in cases involving faith. Did you want to go to church during Covid? AliKhan actively worked against the freedom of religious assembly.

Now, AliKhan is overseeing a court challenge to the temporary spending freeze requested by the Trump Administration’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

The OMB requested spending pause in a Jan 27 memo, saying OMB must do an analysis of all federal financial assistance programs to identify spending that may be affected by Trump’s executive orders. It was looking for spending related to foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the Green New Deal.

The National Council of Nonprofits went to court the next day, Jan. 28, challenging the 90-day pause, saying the pause “could deprive people and communities of their life-saving services,” court papers show.

“This order is a potential five-alarm fire for nonprofit organizations and the people and communities they serve,” said a statement from National Council of Nonprofits President and CEO Diane Yentel. “The impact of even a short pause in funding could be devastating and cost lives. This order could decimate thousands of organizations and leave neighbors without the services they need.”

AliKhan immediately granted a temporary restraining order Jan. 28, blocking the spending pause. The next day, Jan. 29, OMB rescinded the memo and later told the court the case was moot because the pause was no longer in effect. Money is flowing to nonprofits.

The pause was to look at spending before sending out payments. The spending cuts are still happening. This case only addresses the pause. Ending the pause should have been the end of the case, but it continued.

On Tuesday, AliKhan issued a preliminary injunction blocking the pause.

“Plaintiffs painted a stark picture of nationwide panic in the wake of the funding freeze. Nonprofits and organizations across the country were left adrift as they scrambled to make sense of the memorandum and its effects,” AliKhan wrote in her dramatic decision. “Entire funding portals were taken offline with no rhyme or reason, generating significant confusion and fear. Many organizations had to resort to desperate measures just to stay operational. The pause placed critical programs for children, the elderly, and everyone in between in serious jeopardy. Because the public’s interest in not having trillions of dollars arbitrarily frozen cannot be overstated, Plaintiffs have more than met their burden here.”

The decision from AliKhan was predictable as he often sides outside of common sense and in alignment with the political views she favors.

During AliKhan’s 2023 confirmation hearing, numerous religious groups signed a joint letter to Congress in opposition to her nomination, detailing her activism. She was approved in a tie-breaking vote by former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Fired CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge reveals photos of files on Hunter Biden, COVID origins seized by network: ‘Attack on investigative journalism’

Fired CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge posted photos of the confidential files seized by the network — which “included sensitive reporting about COVID-19 origins and Hunter Biden.”

The award-winning investigative journalist — who was dismissed last February as part of wider layoffs by embattled parent company Paramount Global — stirred up a firestorm in her bid to regain the materials before the network gave back the items weeks later.

“Exactly one year ago, @CBSNews returned my investigative reporting files,” Herridge wrote on X on Wednesday.

“Today, I am releasing photos of the records for the first time so you can see the sheer volume involved.”

One photo showed stacks of folders next to a Home Depot-labeled box.

Herridge wrote that the material encompassed four large moving boxes weighing over 100 pounds in total that were seized by the network.

Herridge referred to CBS News’ actions as a “journalistic rape” and “an attack on investigative journalism.”

“I hope no investigative reporter has to suffer a similar injustice in the future,” she added.

A CBS News spokesperson declined to comment.

The incident led to a hearing last April by a House Judiciary subcommittee, titled “Fighting for a Free Press: Protecting Journalists and Their Sources.”
