@mattvanswol Người anh em, you made us proud!

🚨WOW!!!

A South Carolina restaurant owner found $12,000 in CASH hidden in a sunglasses case inside his new restaurant.

Instead of keeping the money, he called the former owner to return it...

...the man who answered was fighting a serious health battle and drowning in medical bills, wondering how he'd survive it.

Then a stranger he barely knew called to say: "I found your money, come get it!"

But here's the part that got me...

The new owner's restaurant had been CLOSED for months because a fire next door knocked out his power.

No customers. No income. Nothing.

He found $12,000 at the lowest point of his year, and he still gave it back anyway.

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

We now have documentation that COVID was fabricated in the Wuhan bioweapons lab under the funding and direction of Anthony Fauci. High ranking Democrats up to and including Joseph Biden engaged in a criminal coverup that killed and crippled millions. Where are the tribunals?

🚨HOLY CRAP!!!

A former Charlotte NC City Councilmember and BOTH of her daughters have now pleaded GUILTY to stealing over $124,000 in COVID relief money...

...for LAVISH BIRTHDAY PARTIES, HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGES, AND A THRONE!!!

Prosecutors say she and her daughters, Tijema Brown and Antionette Rouse, filed at least 15 FAKE loan applications for businesses that DID NOT EXIST, using forged tax documents, to drain pandemic relief funds meant for struggling Americans.

They got a mind-boggling $124,000.

They spent it on Louis Vuitton bags and a $15,000 BIRTHDAY PARTY with horses, thrones, fancy gifts.

And this isn't her first time.

Tiawana Brown is a CONVICTED FELON who already served federal prison time for fraud, years before Charlotte NC voters put her on the City Council.

This week, the last of the three, her daughter Antionette, pleaded guilty. She admitted to pocketing astonishing $51,000 by herself..

All three have now admitted it. All three are guilty.

She is looking at up to 20 years in prison.

ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!!!

This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America.

A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact.

It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy:

56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases.

More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide.

343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information.

That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison.

The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once:

The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry.

Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate.

Now look at the individual leaderboard:

- Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100
- Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers
- Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late
- Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade

And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked.

She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO.

The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine.

The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero.

And the cruelest part is this:

A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed.

But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is.

They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing.

The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.

America sends money to 177 out of 193 recognized countries.

Thats 91.7% of the world.

We are $39 TRILLION in debt and have our own issues that need to be fixed here at home.

We shouldn’t send a single penny to other countries.

[Mike Netter @nettermike]

The mayor of Charlotte, NC asks that we not post about this lady murdered on a Charlotte train by a repeat offender with 14 prior arrests!
I say in Iryna’s memory please share and make this go viral! A repeat offender with 14 prior arrests should not be roaming the streets of ANY city! They should be locked up!! Epic failure in the justice system!

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Assassinations + political violence are real.

My party can’t be the tin foil hat brigade.

I was there a table away and I promise you, this was not staged.

LOUISIANA

Senator Bill Cassidy said that if he is re-elected,

he will continue to support Senate Majority Leader Thune.

It would be a shame if every Republican in Louisiana saw this before the election on

. @RepThomasMassie went on Tucker Carlson yesterday and told his audience that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security set up its official X account in Israel using an Israeli IP address and an app purchased from the Israeli App Store, and that Congress needs to open an investigation into it.

There's just one problem. The claim is based on a screenshot that was fabricated.

The image went viral in November showing the @DHSgov page listed as based in Tel Aviv, created July 2008, connected via the Israel App Store, and it got 39 million views and hundreds of thousands of likes before anyone looked closely at it.

The screenshot didn't have the gray checkmark that X puts on every single verified government account without exception, and the person who originally posted it later appeared to admit they made the whole thing up.

X's own head of product @nikitabier came out and called it fake news directly, confirming that @DHSgov was deliberately excluded from the location feature for security reasons and never showed any location data at all.

A sitting U.S. congressman is calling for a federal investigation based on a screenshot that the person who made it appears to have admitted was fake, and Tucker just let him say it to millions of people.

Get this liar out of Congress!

If you support REMOVING JOHN THUNE…

REPOST THIS!

[Mila Joy @Milajoy]

Recess Appointments:

Bill Clinton: 139
George W. Bush: 171
Barack Obama: 32
Donald Trump: 0

This is because @LeaderJohnThune BLOCKED President Trump.

[Kevin Sorbo @ksorbs]

This is insane.

The historic Église Saint-Cyriaque church in Montenach, France, was just set on fire.

Survived both world wars but couldn’t survive diversity.

Flip flop.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren

She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.

Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.

JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.

The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.

For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.

Warren said no.

She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.

Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.

Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.

510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.

14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.

And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.

Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.

40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.

And the math ain’t mathing.

Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.

That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”

So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?

Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.

Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.

Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”

A win.

14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.

And she’s taking credit.

This is socialism in 2026.

A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.

She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.

She cost you ten times that in real life.

She didn’t protect consumers from anything.

14,000+ will go from working to welfare.

She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.

Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.

She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

[First Lady Melania Trump @FLOTUS]

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

Reason? They platformed far-left antisemite Hasan Piker and for consistently carrying water for the Iranian regime.

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter was armed with a shotgun, handgun, and multiple knives, according to DC police chief Jeffrey Carroll.

The shooter was identified as 31-year-old teacher Cole Allen from Torrance, California.

The suspect emerged from a "makeshift room" near the entrance, where "there was no security" near where bar carts were stored, according to the New York Post.

"He was in that room... he grabbed it out of a bag or something." The weapon "was long" and "didn’t look like a typical gun," a witness who was a volunteer at the event told the Post.

It is reportedly believed that Allen was a guest at the Hilton hotel where the dinner took place.

Just so America knows, after two weeks in recess, John Thune is no longer considering the SAVE America Act.
