Far-left billionaire George Soros and family donated $71,000 to Trump-hating NY AG Letitia James

Far-left billionaire kingmaker George Soros and his family members have poured more than $71,000 into state Attorney General Letitia James’ campaign coffers since 2019 — including $31,000 to help the longtime adversary of President Trump get re-elected next year. 

The contributions include $18,000 from Soros in July 2024 and another $13,000 from his daughter-in-law, Jennifer Soros, in May, records show. Soros and his clan also gave James another $40,000 dating back to 2019 for previous campaigns.

And the windfall doesn’t even include indirect support James receives through far-left organizations Soros helps bankroll, including millions to the Working Families Party.

Soros’ ultra-woke grant-making network Open Society Foundation has doled out $23.7 million to the WFP since 2016 through its fundraising arm Working Families Organization Inc., and he and his family members showered the New York branch with another $865,000 in direct donations since 2018, records show.

James’ relationship with the WFP is all but unprecedented in New York.

No, Don Jr. Did Not Get a $620 Million Government Loan for Rare Earths

A conspiracy theory being perpetuated by Democrats claims that Donald Trump Jr. owns a rare earth mineral company that received a $620 million loan from the Department of Defense, supposedly representing corruption by the Trump administration. As is often the case with attacks on the current administration, this narrative is false. Here is the truth.

Vulcan Elements, a firm neither owned nor operated by Donald Trump Jr., received a $620 million loan from the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital in November 2025. This is the largest loan ever issued by OSC, which was established in December 2022 under the Biden administration. The loan is part of a broader Pentagon initiative to expand domestic production of rare earth magnets. ReElement Technologies, another firm neither owned nor operated by Donald Trump Jr., received an $80 million loan from OSC as part of the same effort.

Donald Trump Jr.’s involvement is limited and indirect. He is a partner at 1789 Capital, a venture capital firm that made a minority equity investment in Vulcan Elements in August 2025, approximately three months before the Department of Defense loan was announced. That investment was part of Vulcan’s Series A funding round, which raised $65 million and was led by Altimeter Capital, a firm unrelated to Trump Jr. 1789 Capital was one of several investors participating in the round.

So, to recap, Trump Jr. does not own Vulcan Elements, does not run the company, has no direct equity stake in Vulcan Elements based on public records, and does not serve on Vulcan’s board or in any advisory capacity. He does work as a partner at 1789 Capital, participates in investment decisions at the firm, has indirect exposure through 1789’s portfolio, and would benefit financially if 1789’s investments appreciate.

The Pentagon explicitly stated Trump Jr. was not involved in any aspect of the conditional loan commitment discussions. Both Commerce Department and Vulcan officials denied Trump Jr. played any role in securing the loan.

Media reports have characterized Vulcan as being “backed by” Trump Jr.’s firm. This language is used to intentionally misrepresent the relationship by suggesting a primary financial supporter, controlling interest, or main sponsor role. In reality, 1789 Capital was one investor among several, was not the lead investor, holds a minority stake, and has no indication of board seats or operational control.

Breaking U.S. dependence on China for rare earth minerals is explicitly documented as a national security priority across multiple administrations and policy documents. The Biden-era 2024 National Defense Industrial Strategy set a DOD goal to develop a complete mine-to-magnet rare earth supply chain by 2027. Since 2020, DOD has committed over $439 million toward building domestic rare earth supply chains. The Biden Administration issued multiple executive orders and fact sheets identifying rare earth elements as critical for national security and economic prosperity.

China currently controls 60-70% of rare earth mining, 85-90% of processing capacity, and 90-93% of magnet manufacturing. The country also controls 77% of cobalt processing, 92% of rare earth elements processing, and 91% of graphite processing. Rare earths are essential for F-35 fighter jets, Virginia-class and Columbia-class submarines, Tomahawk missiles, radar systems, and smart bombs and guided munitions. Each gas-powered car contains 40 rare earth magnets. Electric vehicles require even more.

New Files Show Epstein Was ‘Too Useful’ for Banks to Drop — Trump Was ‘Too Politically Dangerous’ to Keep

The newest Epstein disclosures include deposition testimony that illustrates, in unusually concrete detail, how major financial institutions assessed risk, value, and accountability.

The transcript does not add new allegations about Epstein. Instead, it explains why he remained bankable long after his 2008 conviction and why his relationship with major banks survived despite generating almost no traditional revenue.

That institutional logic is the same logic that later drove JPMorgan to end its ties with Trump Media, and the contrast between the two cases shows how selectively these standards are applied.

In the deposition, Paul Morris—a private banker who handled Epstein’s accounts at JPMorgan Chase and later Deutsche Bank—described Epstein’s financial profile with unusual precision.

Epstein’s trading was minimal. His accounts produced limited fees.

He was not a high-activity client and did not utilize the investment tools that banks rely on to generate consistent revenue. By every conventional benchmark, he was a low-value account.

And yet, the relationship continued.

The deposition shows why. Epstein was not retained for his financial performance but for his institutional usefulness.

Morris acknowledged that Epstein facilitated introductions to ultra-wealthy individuals that the bank viewed as essential prospects. One example was Leon Black, whom Morris identified as a “priority prospect” because of Black’s significant net worth and influence in the investment sector.

Epstein introduced the bank to real-estate investor Andrew Farkas and discussed a potential connection involving biotech investor Boris Nikolic, who had ties to Bill Gates.

These introductions were specific, documented, and initiated by Epstein, not the bank.

This is the key element that many public accounts overlook. Epstein was not being managed as a traditional client. He functioned as a relationship broker inside a system where introductions to power carry more internal value than account-level returns.

Banks routinely emphasize compliance structures, but the testimony shows how those structures contract when the client provides access that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

Here’s What the Useless ‘Mainstream Media’ Was Focused on While a Citizen Journalist Uncovered More Massive Somali Fraud in Minnesota

If you read the Gateway Pundit, by now you are familiar with the story of more massive Somali fraud in Minnesota related to daycare centers, which was exposed by citizen journalist Nick Shirley.

At the time of this writing, the tweet with the video that Shirley published on December 26th has been viewed 56 million times.

Shirley’s work here was good, old-fashioned, shoe leather reporting. He really deserves all of the praise he is getting for this.

What about the so-called mainstream media? This is the job they used to do. What have they been up to for the last few days? Well, in addition to completely ignoring this story, they have been focused on a bunch of other completely pointless stories.

By the way, when we say they’re ignoring the Minnesota story, that is not an exaggeration. None of the outlets below have tweeted a single thing about what Nick Shirley uncovered, despite the enormity of the story.

Over at the Washington Post, they did a story about Trump putting too much Christ into Christmas.

The Apocalyptic Shortage That Never Happened: Democrats’ Tariff Doomsday Narrative Imploded  

Remember earlier this year when President Trump was locked in a tit-for-tat trade war with China? Then, a broad coalition of Democrats, corporate media outlets, mainstream economists, and left-leaning think tanks warned that higher tariffs would spark pandemic-era supply-chain chaos and trigger price spikes for consumers. Two quarters later, those dire predictions have yet to materialize.

MSM propagandists sounded the apocalypse alarm:

  • March: KOMO News: ‘It’s worse than COVID’: Point Roberts seeks state aid amid US-Canada tariff crisis
  • April: NBC News: Product shortages and empty store shelves loom with falling shipments from China
  • April: Fortune: Tariffs threaten a pharmaceuticals shortage, as 95% of ibuprofen comes from China
  • April: CNBC: The trade war’s wave of retail shortages will hit U.S. consumers in stages.
  • April: Axios: How Trump tariffs could cause a global recession
  • April: Vox: America may be headed for this rare type of economic crisis
  • April: CNN: Trump took the US economy to the brink of a crisis in just 100 days
  • May: The Guardian: Trump’s tariffs: ‘It feels like Covid 2.0. So many things are getting disrupted’
  • May: Business Insider: The worst is yet to come: Trump’s tariffs could mean even higher prices and empty shelves within weeks

Democratic Party and MSM’s supply-chain apocalypse alarm peaked in mid-April, then resurfaced in a smaller echo wave by August, according to Bloomberg data tracking mainstream media headline counts for the term “tariff.”

DARK CHRISTMAS: Unhinged Zelensky Hints He’s Waiting for Trump To Pass Away For Ukraine To Join NATO, Says His Holliday Wish Is for Putin To Die 

‘Ze’ has gone overboard with his latest remarks.

For four years, Volodymyr Zelensky has been painted by the MSM as a heroic ‘defender of democracy’, a ‘present-day Winston Churchill’, and any questioning of him was surely to be described as the work of Putin’s shills and puppets.

But that was then – and this is now, when Zelensky has been revealed as a failing leader of an incredibly corrupt country rife with real-life Nazis, and dealing with an alleged nasty drug habit.

Citizens of the western countries now know that much of their taxpayer money sent to the Kiev regime was stolen by people closely connected to Zelensky himself.

But now, Zelensky appears determined to shed the mask once and for all, revealing his true self by carelessly hinting about the deaths of both Donald J. Trump and Vladimir Putin.

At a press conference at the EU summit in Brussels on December 18-19, 2025, the Kiev regime leader was discussing Ukraine’s potential NATO membership (that will not happen).

That was when he shockingly said: ‘The position may change in the future. Politicians change, some live, some die’.

This can only be interpreted as hinting at to waiting out Donald Trump’s presidency through his potential death, and hoping for negotiations with a successor.

Hunter Biden Seemingly Justifies Assassination Attempts Against Trump With a Disgusting Remark

Hunter Biden, even in his moments of clarity, still possesses a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. This illness made an unwelcome appearance during an explosive interview with one of America’s top podcasters this week.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Hunter delivered a blistering critique of illegal immigration during his marathon, unfiltered sit-down with former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan on the popular “Shawn Ryan Show.”

The interview landed like a political grenade inside Democrat circles because Hunter openly contradicted the core immigration posture of his father’s administration.

“We need a vibrant immigration,” Hunter said, “but we don’t want immigrants that are coming here illegally, draining us of resources and being prioritized above people that are actual literal heroes that are coming home, that are still recovering from 20 years of endless war or anybody else in our society, right?”

But Sleepy Joe’s ne’er-do-well son quickly fell back on the Democrat plantation when asked by Ryan about the assassination attempts against political officials.

“I hear ya…But part of me also says if you don’t want to be called a fascist, don’t act like a fascist,” Hunter quipped.

So Hunter apparently thinks calling Trump a fascist is fine, even if it leads to political violence.

How vile, yet totally expected.

Unhinged Never-Trumper George Conway Officially Enters New York Congressional Race as Democrat After Coming Out as Antifa

Prominent anti-Trump lawyer George Conway filed to run for Congress in New York City on Monday.

According to Breitbart, citing a newly filed Statement of Organization with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), George Conway has established a principal campaign committee under the name “George Conway for Congress” to run in New York’s 12th congressional district as a Democrat.

The filing, dated December 22, 2025, designates the district currently represented by retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY).

As of Monday morning, Conway’s campaign website remains under construction.

Conway, who resides in the elite Washington, D.C. suburb of Bethesda, Maryland, is set to carpetbag his way into representing one of Manhattan’s wealthiest and most liberal districts, encompassing iconic areas like Central Park, Times Square, and Rockefeller Center.

The 62-year-old Conway has fully embraced the radical left in recent years, ditching his conservative roots and becoming a staple on left-wing media outlets. He co-hosts a podcast on the anti-Trump Bulwark called “George Conway Explains It All,” where he obsessively rails against President Trump.

But Conway took his derangement to new heights in October when he was spotted at a “No Kings” anti-Trump rally wearing a shirt boldly proclaiming “I am Antifa” – just weeks after President Trump designated the violent extremist group as a domestic terrorist organization, according to the Daily Caller.

Biden Judge Blocks President Trump’s Attempt to Strip Security Clearance From Deep State Lawyer Mark Zaid

A federal judge on Tuesday evening blocked President Trump’s attempt to strip the security clearance of Deep State lawyer Mark Zaid.

US District Judge, Amir Ali, said Trump’s attempt to strip the security clearance from Mark Zaid may violate the US Constitution.

Recall that Mark Zaid represented Eric Ciaramella, the Trump-Ukraine impeachment ‘whistleblower.’

Zaid also represents intelligence officials and other Deep State actors.

Earlier this year, President Trump stripped the security clearances of at least eight corrupt ‘antagonists’ who worked for Biden or targeted him for ruin over the last several years:

  • Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken
  • Former NatSec Advisor Jake Sullivan
  • New York Attorney General Letitia James
  • Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg
  • Biden’s Deputy AG Lisa Monaco
  • Corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissmann
  • Deep State lawyer Mark Zaid
  • Norm Eisen – the man behind all the lawfare against Trump

“Per @POTUS directive, I have revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman, along with the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden “disinformation” letter. The President’s Daily Brief is no longer being provided to former President Biden,” Tulsi Gabbard announced on X in March.

Trump’s FBI says ‘Epstein’ prison postcard to pedophile Larry Nassar is FAKE

The prison postcard released in the Epstein files, allegedly written by Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar before his suicide, has been ruled as fake by the FBI. 

Allegedly written before Epstein’s 2019 jail cell suicide, the contents included a claim that ‘our president’ loves ‘young, nubile girls.’ Donald Trump was the president at the time, although there was no named references to him. 

It was released as part of the immense trove of files relating to the disgraced financier’s crimes and subsequent death. The DOJ has been releasing more documents since the deadline last Friday.

Included in today’s drop was the purported postcard – which referenced that Epstein took the ‘short route home’ and wished the former USA Olympic doctor, responsible for the biggest sexual abuse scandal in the history of American sports, well.

But despite being part of the official government document release, the FBI have said that the postcard is bogus, citing handwriting and stamping discrepancies.  

The Department of Justice posted just before 3.30pm on Tuesday: ‘The FBI has confirmed this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE. 

‘The fake letter was received by the jail, and flagged for the FBI at the time. The FBI made this conclusion based on the following facts.

‘The writing does not appear to match Jeffrey Epstein’s. The letter was postmarked three days after Epstein’s death out of Northern Virginia, when he was jailed in New York.
