🚨WHAT ON EARTH?!!!

A MASSIVE MANHUNT is underway for a convicted felon who was found GUILTY by a Texas jury...

...but the judge let him WALK OUT THE DOOR and told him to come back for sentencing the "next day."

He NEVER DID... OF COURSE!!!!

Even the DA BEGGED the judge not to, she said, "this guy's not coming back."

And just to be perfectly clear:

The jury convicted him... and then the JUDGE sent him home on the freaking HONOR SYSTEM.

His name is Jamarcus Robinson. He's 33.

On August 17th, a Chambers County, Texas jury found him guilty of illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.

Instead of cuffing him right there, like the sheriff says normally happens after a guilty verdict, the judge let the jury go home and told Robinson to come back the NEXT day to be sentenced.

The District Attorney saw it coming a mile away.

In her own words:

"I said, 'Please have the judge call me before he sends him home, because this guy's NOT coming back.' Sure enough, my prediction came true."

Robinson went home... and then he vanished.

The judge sentenced him to 10 years anyway, even though he WAS NOT EVEN THERE IN THE COURT ROOM AND THEY ARE STILL LOOKING FOR HIM.

Now the Chambers County Sheriff AND the FBI are burning manpower hunting a man who should already be in a cell.

It gets worse.

This isn't even his only gun case. He's ALSO wanted in Harris County for the exact same crime, felon with a firearm. His record already includes assault causing bodily injury.

As the DA put it: it's "a waste of manpower" and it's "putting the entire society at risk."

The DA predicted EXACTLY what would happen, the judge IGNORED HER and of course... it happened.

How hard is this? You convict a felon... you KEEP him IN JAIL... OBVIOUSLY!!!!!!

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

Physicists may have made a huge mistake when they introduced dark energy. That is what a team of mathematicians say after looking at the equations. Because they find that, actually, it’s unnecessary. If they are right, that would be the ultimate embarrassment for physicists.

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

In her latest sciolistic letter to me, @SenWarren made it clear that she knows even less about foreign exchange markets than she does about banking.

What is equally shocking, but not surprising: not a single member of the media mob has a rudimentary-enough level of financial market literacy to spot her remedial error.

To reiterate: under @POTUS, the United States delivers for America’s trusted partners.

For a fuller explanation, I recommend Senator Warren take any entry level course in international finance for her and her staff, or I can personally give her a tutorial on Foreign Exchange for Dummies. Although I am not holding my breath, I hope her next letter will demonstrate that she has learned the difference between a currency purchase and a swap or a loan.

I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!

16-year-old Joseph Samuel is DE*D in Charlotte, NC because the man charged with his m*rder, who has been arrested ELEVEN PREVIOUS TIMES...

...WAS LET OUT OF PRISON A FEW MONTHS AGO FOR TRYING TO M*RDER SOMEONE ELSE!!!!!!!!

ELEVEN PRIOR ARRESTS.
THIRTY PRIOR CHARGES.

Meet Taquawn "Buck" Lewis, he is 28 years old.

In 2019, Lewis was convicted of ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON WITH INTENT TO K*LL INFLICTING SERIOUS INJURY.

He tried to m*rder somebody and the judge sentenced him to the MINIMUM POSSIBLE SENTENCE:

Six years and one month.

He was released from prison in AUGUST 2025.

NINE MONTHS LATER, he shoots a 16-year-old child who was JUST WALKING A PATH HOME to DE*TH in broad daylight in Charlotte.

He was on PAROLE.
He had a gun he was BARRED BY LAW from possessing.

Every. Single. Failure. Was. Preventable.

A judge let him out at the minimum.
A parole board approved his release.

Joseph Samuel is de*d because NOT A SINGLE FREAKING ONE OF THEM did their job.

PLEASE STOP LETTING VIOLENT PEOPLE OUT OF PRISON.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

🚨DEAR GOD!!!

Police BEGGED a liberal prosecutor IN WRITING to keep an ILLEGAL ALIEN with 40+ charges locked up...

...he walked ANYWAY then 9 MONTHS later he st*bbed a 41-year-old woman to DE*TH at a bus stop in Virginia.

Meet Abdul Jalloh, 32.

A Sierra Leone national who DHS says was in this country ILLEGALLY.

DHS says he had been arrested MORE THAN 30 TIMES.

7News found MORE THAN 40 CHARGES in Fairfax County alone… ranging from R*PE to ASSAULT.

In almost EVERY SINGLE CASE, Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano's office DROPPED THEM.

2018: R*pe — DROPPED
2023: Malicious wounding — DROPPED
2024: Malicious wounding — DROPPED
2024: Steal property from a person — DROPPED

A Fairfax police bond alert said he had over 100 INVOLVEMENTS with the department.

In May 2025, Fairfax County police emailed Descano's office and BEGGED THEM TO KEEP HIM LOCKED UP.

He walked ANWAY.

POLICE WERE LITERALLY WARNING PROSECUTORS THAT THEY BELIEVED THIS MAN WAS GOING TO SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEONE AGAIN.

Just a few months later…

...on February 23, 2026, Stephanie Minter stepped off a bus on Richmond Highway.

Police say Jalloh stepped off that same bus with her.

She was found in the bus shelter with multiple st*b wounds to her upper body.

She passed away right there.

Fairfax County's own POLICE CHIEF, Kevin Davis, says her m*rder was "entirely preventable."

And it wasn't just the county.

ICE says it held Jalloh for 702 days back in 2018… then had to release him after a judge ruled he couldn't be sent back to Sierra Leone.

EVERY LEVEL had a shot at this man.

Now Cheryl Minter, Stephanie's mom, has filed a RECALL PETITION AGAINST THE PROSECUTOR!!!!!

She says she found out AFTER burying her daughter that police had been warning this office about him for months.

Her petition reads: "Thirty times the system had a chance to stop him, and then let him go."

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!

Spiritual attacks against my team tonight after big win in Democracy Partners v O’Keefe.

@MarkSZaidEsq has just filed more another lawsuit against my undercover journalist, despite the Circuit ruling - just to harass us.

Also today, The former PV board member who fired me is also filing criminal contempt proceedings because we tagged him in our report. He also filed a contempt motion on last night after we had to reschedule a deposition because we were in Alaska. He’s trying to put me in jail, asking a Miami Judge to categorize news reporting as “stalking.”

We stand by our reporting but please understand: the legal attacks my team faces for telling the truth.

We wonder who or what is funding these individuals?

Senior Secret Service Officials FIRED, MARCHED Out-CAUGHT Red-Handed Leaking Top-Secret Operations..

USSS Communications Director Anthony Guglielmi and two others were placed on leave and escorted out of the building. The officials’ govnerment devices have been seized and security clearances revoked as part of internal misconduct probe.

Secret Service declined to comment on investigation involving CIA and FBI.

This comes after Trump's Air Force One swap involving a secret maneuver through a catering cart was leaked to the media. It also follows recent detailed revelations of JD Vance's protective operations to the media.

Guglielmi is known to have lied about January 6th— deleting text messages and lying about Butler.

Why wasn't he fired years ago?

🚨 NORTH CAROLINA, NOT CALIFORNIA 

Parents at Middle Creek Elementary are being told: accept a biological male music teacher presenting as a woman… or get branded a bigot and leave.

No opt-out.
No alternate class.
Nothing.

Some parents are literally driving to the school twice a week, checking their kids out before music class, sitting with them in the library for an hour, then bringing them back.

That’s the “accommodation.”

These kids are in elementary school. Kindergarteners included.

Parents aren’t asking to fire anyone. They’re just asking for the basic right to keep their own children out of it.

The school said no.

This is what the agenda looks like when it reaches your local public school, not in New York or Seattle, but in North Carolina’s largest district.

Parents are the last line of defense.

He starts out by saying "this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I want more flock cameras!"
And then he proceeds to set the meeting on fire.
He wants flock cameras in every commissioner's office, every sheriff's office, in front of their homes, monitoring their cell phone activity, and on and on and on.
It's wonderful!

“Owning” a home in the U.S. 😭

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

At his press conference today, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro accused me of promoting conspiracy theories because I told him, during an earlier telephone conversation, that some Americans had religious objections to the MMR vaccine because it contained fetal tissue. “There is no fetal tissue in the MMR,” he told me.

This is a segment from a videotaped deposition of Stanley Plotkin, the inventor of the MMR vaccine. Plotkin admits to butchering 76 aborted normally developing fetuses, all over three months old, in just one of the many studies that led to the development of his vaccine.

The rubella virus used in MMR-II is grown on the cultured cell line composed of lung tissue from an aborted three-month-old female embryo and listed as “WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts” in the ingredients of MMR-II as portions of these cells end up in each vial of MMR II.

During Dr. Plotkin’s deposition, Attorney Aaron Siri asked: “Isn’t it true that MMR II contains approximately 150 nanograms cells substrate double-strand DNA and single-strand DNA per dose purposefully fragmented to approximately 215 base pairs in length?” Dr. Plotkin answered: “Yeah, that’s probably correct, yes.”

This equals approximately 646 billion pieces of human DNA from an aborted fetal cell line in each vial of MMR-II.

In addition to the human DNA, there is also an unspecified amount of human cellular debris in each dose of MMR-II.

During our phone conversation, Governor Shapiro also accused me of promoting vaccine misinformation. When I asked him for an example, he was unable to provide one, but this did not deter him from publicly repeating that accusation during his press event. As I told him, HHS does not tolerate misinformation by any employee. I offered to point to hundreds of instances of vaccine misinformation by the Biden administration about which I had never heard him complain.

Governor Shapiro also faulted me for the decline in Pennsylvania vaccination rates from 97% - 93.2%. When I pushed back on this assertion, he acknowledged that most of the decline occurred during the Biden administration. It’s unfortunately true that the government lockdowns, deceptions, manipulation, and overreach during Covid severely damaged public faith in the vaccine program.

Governor Shapiro’s press conference was an example of the same species of gaslighting.

The Trump administration is working to restore public trust not by gaslighting or manipulating, but by being truthful, at last, with the public.

SCOTUS just cleared the path for Trump’s mail ballot security rules.

Less than 24 hours later, Obama-appointed Judge Indira Talwani is back at it.

She just ruled that the U.S. Postal Service “feigned complete compliance” and violated her injunction by finalizing the new rules.

Same judge. Same playbook. Different day.

The Supreme Court speaks. A district judge digs in harder.

This is exactly why Americans have lost trust in the system.

Secure elections shouldn’t be this hard.

Time to start naming names and holding these activist judges accountable.

Calvin Rickson, an engineer from Texas A&M University has designed a bra that keeps women’s breasts from jiggling, bouncing up and down, and stops nipples from pushing through the fabric when cold weather sets in.
After a news conference announcing the invention, a large group of men took Mr. Rickson outside and kicked the shit out of him.

🚨 HOLY CRAP SHE’S GOING ROGUE.

Leftist Judge Indira Talwani spits in the face of the Supreme Court and just ruled that Trump’s U.S. Postal Service has hereby VIOLATED her block on the mail-in ballot security rules

She’s going off, aggressively accusing Trump’s team of “complete noncompliance”

This comes after SCOTUS UPHELD — for now — Trump’s EO and rules to secure mail-in ballots…

IT’S TIME.

IMPEACH JUDGE TALWANI. Or it won’t stop

In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.

She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.

The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.

She handed out the checks herself.

In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.

When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.

You've probably heard that part.

Here's the part you haven't:

The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.

Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.

She built her county an entire hospital.

She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.

In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.

Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.

In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.

And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.

She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.

She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.

Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

EXCLUSIVE: O’Keefe Uncovers Unalaska Election Officials Contradicting Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s SAVE Act Claims, Telling O’Keefe That Island Residents Do NOT Have to Travel 800 Miles to Anchorage to Register to Vote or Obtain ID

O’Keefe asked an Unalaska local DMV employee, “We don’t have to go to Anchorage to get an ID?” The employee responded, “No, you can come here.”

An Unalaska resident confirmed voting takes place at City Hall and said residents “Don’t have to go to Anchorage [to register to vote or obtain ID].”

After visiting the library, DMV, City Hall, post office, and speaking directly with residents, O’Keefe reported: “Everybody here [Unalaska residents] are contradicting what Lisa Murkowski is saying [Have to travel to Anchorage to register to vote or obtain ID].”
