Everyone wants arrests. I DO TOO
BUT….. what I want more is true justice!!! And that comes with patience. My theory: we are NOT going to see arrests until 2026. Trump has a lot to get done and he doesn’t need to fight the press every day while he’s doing it. It is more strategic to do this closer to the election for maximum effect. So slow your roll. 😘

HELP! US Park Police are looking for the “Reflecting Pool Dipper”.

They've released photos asking the public to identify this individual at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on June 19.

They said it's under investigation as destruction of government property after major damage was found in the new sealant.

Let's help identify who this individual is.

Today at my local liberal-elite coffee shop in Massachusetts, a small crowd gathered around a single mom with a one-year-old.

She explained that after giving birth, while home alone eating her own placenta, she realized she was actually a man.

That revelation, she said, forced the “most harrowing decision” of her life.

She wanted to breastfeed her baby but couldn’t continue doing so while taking testosterone. She chose to transition anyway because she didn’t want to “lie” to her child about who she really was.

But it gets better.

She felt no guilt depriving her child of breast milk, yet did feel guilty about losing “skin-on-skin breast nuzzles” so she has postponed her mastectomy.

But wait, there’s more.

Because she didn’t feel authentically male with breasts, she intentionally gained dozens of pounds on top of her pregnancy weight, explaining that it’s normal for “larger men to have breasts.”

Now she wants to encourage husbands to gain weight alongside their pregnant wives so they, too, can experience “skin-on-skin breast nuzzles.”

The term “skin-on-skin breast nuzzles,” was mentioned at least a dozen times. It was the third most used term I overheard after “authentic self” and “you are so brave.”

She also wants more men to grow beards because she read that babies benefit from playing with facial hair. She thinks this is something the “Muslim tradition really gets right.”

Yes, she had a beard. A scraggly one.

She’s also considering starting a foundation to promote this work but probably couldn’t because “Trump has made 501(c)(3)s basically illegal” and doesn’t want the “gestapo stopping us.”

She may instead “go underground” and accept cash donations instead.

The small crowd nodded enthusiastically through every word.

One older woman suggested that more “skin-on-skin breast nuzzles” and “beard play” might be the cure for “so many young American boys becoming fascists.”

It remained unclear whether the baby was a boy or a girl.

Nobody dared ask.

[Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew]

I think this is exactly correct, and I think Hegseth and others in his camp think there are simply too many General Officers given the size of the military.

That means more do not get promoted, and that story turns into a "they are being forced to resign" story when that isn't true.

Promotions simply went to others.

We've seen many stories about Hegseth removing Officers from the promotion list -- IMO that simply means there are going to be fewer Generals going forward, so there are fewer who get promoted.

Amid the revelation that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison met with and took bribes from Somali fraudsters, it has now been revealed that his son has been collecting a $110,000 salary and extorting taxpayers out of a $57,000 living-expense stipend from the Minneapolis City Council while attending Harvard University.

🔥🔥Announcing new Integrity Initiative Russiagate evidence! Conservatives in the US were being targeted by a foreign government on our own shores. Because Britain paid them. The main intent seems to be linking us to being white supremacists, authoritarians, and disinfo spreading pro Putinists. Folks, this was Russiagate. And was the beginning of us being targeted globally.

History:

Inside one of the leaked documents was information on their US Minnesota partners. What has always bothered me is MN was a Narrative Initiative test state. And the linked 2020 riots started there too.

MN Integrity Initiative Partners:

- Adventium Labs MN
- MN FBI Infragard
- Technical Leadership Institute at the University of
Minnesota

Back in 2019, there was a link to a Seattle Washington event referenced in the leaks. Well I have all the materials from that event.

♦️Workshop on Identifying and Combating Disinformation in Big Data

2018 IEEE International Conference on Big Data
December 10-13, 2018, Seattle, WA, USA Weston Hotel

The document from this workshop that interests me the most is this one. 👇🏻

🔹“The Alt-Right and Global Information Warfare”

Here’s some cool quote when discussing Breitbart.

“Bannon has shown strong
ideological ties with the Eurasianism of Dugin and Putin
himself.”

“ Milo Yiannopoulos who helped smuggle white supremacy into the mainstream and ultimately into the White House.”

And here they accuse websites of spreading pro Russian disinfo:

“Among the sites most implicated in both Russian disinformation and syncretic conspiracy theories are Veterans Today, 21st Century Wire, ZeroHedge, https://t.co/eLOEOdX43j, MintPressNews, and The Duran.”

Peter Sweden came up in this report also. Lumping him alongside David Duke.

“ This is illustrated by figures like David Duke and Peter Sweden creating personal websites, and by regular retweeting of white
supremacist “alternative news” or research outlets such as https://t.co/qIo2ktrnge, https://t.co/4C1XP0XP5x, and VDare.

Among the most explicit iterations to show up are “Fash the Nation” which is a project of “The Right Stuff” and hosts podcasts such as “The Daily Shoah.” As may be obvious from the thinly veiled anti-Semitism and fascist allusion in the titles, this is an extreme Alt-Right podcast.”

Article Abstract:

“The Alt-Right is a neo-fascist white supremacist movement that is involved in violent extremism and shows signs of engagement in extensive disinformation campaigns. Using social media data mining, this study develops a deeper understanding of such targeted disinformation campaigns and
the ways they spread. It also adds to the available literature on the endogenous and exogenous influences within the US far right, as well as motivating factors that drive disinformation campaigns, such as geopolitical strategy.

Keywords— Alt-Right, fascism, white-supremacy, data mining,
twitter, Russia, disinformation, information warfare, hybrid
warfare.”

Conclusion:

“Amidst the resurgence of fascism and authoritarianism in
popular culture, there is a concurrent global information war afoot. State super-powers are warring through manipulating the information sources and social media discourses of different political groups in foreign nations. Our initial data suggests that the Alt-Right leans heavily on Kremlin controlled media sources as a critical backbone of their ideology, thus playing a role in their concomitant violence.

Further scaling of data mining analysis of Alt-Right twitter networks will give greater insight into the shape and contour of fascist disinformation and influence networks in the age of big data. Undermining the instrumental rationality of authoritarianism through data analysis gives us the opportunity to push-back on the empowerment of proto-fascist movements across the globe.”

There are tons more workshop reports and sources coming up.

I have conducted the most comprehensive public records audit of any Congressman in the history of the United States.

That audit was conducted on Congressman @RoKhanna.

This audit has exposed shocking ethical lapses and potentially criminal behavior by Congressman Khanna.

I am filing a 239-page ethics complaint, including 30 evidentiary exhibits, with the Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC), to be followed by complaints to the House Ethics Committee and the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the coming days.

Besides being based on an extremely comprehensive public records audit, the complaint is the first of its kind in another way: the factual basis of every single specific claim in the complaint is fully verifiable and reproducible by anyone with a computer.

Attached to this post is a link to the GitHub Release containing the complete reproducibility kit. Anyone with Python 3 and the GitHub CLI installed can download it and run a single command — `python https://t.co/IFYR1uU2LR` — which walks them through the analysis at whatever verification depth they pick:

1. A 30-second offline check that every body figure derives from the bundled snapshots;
2. A primary-source spot-check that re-fetches the underlying records from the House Clerk and IRS and confirms the bytes match;
3. An OpenTimestamps proof that the package existed at publication time and wasn't backfilled; and
4. An opt-in path that lets the reviewer re-run the OCR pipeline themselves against the primary-source PDFs.

This means that any person in the world can confirm for themselves that all statements made in this complaint are fully reproducible and true.

---

The complaint asserts the following:

Representative Ro Khanna is a Democratic congressman from California's 17th District (basically Silicon Valley). He has been in Congress since January 2017. He is currently in his fifth term.

Khanna has done six different things wrong.

Each one is bad enough to investigate on its own.

Together, they are very bad.

His family's stock trades line up suspiciously with the committees he sits on, the donors who fund him, and the votes he takes.

That's bad.

Khanna's household made between $15 million and $108 million from these trades, with a middle estimate of about $61 million.

The estimate cannot be made any better than this. The disclosure forms provide only disclosure "bands". Precise amounts can only be determined with subpoena power.

But we do have one hard number:

Compared to just buying a basic stock-market index fund, his family beat the market by about $28 million.

$28 million.

The complaint says that Congressman Khanna should pay this money back.

Now, how the trading actually works in this household is important because it helps us to understanding everything else, so I will explain that now.

Khanna himself has filed 114 reports with the House Clerk listing every trade his household has made. Those reports cover 37,238 individual trades. That's a huge amount. Most members of Congress don't trade nearly that much.

But here's the kicker.

Almost none of those trades are in Khanna's own name.

99.997% of them are listed as belonging to either his wife (Ritu Ahuja Khanna) or his dependent child.

That's basically all Khanna trades. A massive volume.

Yet virtually none in his own name.

Curious.

Khanna has publicly said this is fine because the trading is done through what's called a "separately managed account" or "blind trust", meaning a broker or trustee makes the decisions without telling him.

If that were true, he'd be off the hook because he wouldn't know what was being bought or sold.

The complaint says that's not true. When you read his official financial disclosure form (the one he signs every year), it shows:

> No separately managed account
> No blind trust
> No third-party broker handling the actively-traded stocks

Instead, the trades come from about a dozen family trusts (the Ritu Ahuja 1994 Trust, the Ritu Ahuja 1995 Trust, the Ahuja Children's Trust, etc.).

These are family-controlled entities.

Whoever's making the trade decisions is a family member. His wife or his child. (Put another way: his "wife" or his "child".) Not an outside professional.

Uh oh.

The "I didn't know what my spouse was trading" defense doesn't work. Nothing on the official paperwork supports it.

Think about it.

Do you think Khanna and his wife sit around and his wife is just buying Palantir stocks, while, by coincidence, Khanna sits on the defense tech committee?

And they don't talk?

That's the framework. But it gets a whole lot worse.

Because the complaint isn't undergirded merely by this speculation. But by hard evidence.

The complaint makes six specific allegations, or "counts".

---

COUNT 1: Filing trade reports late

This sounds like a technical detail, but it is not. It is the pattern of misbehavior that enabled everything else.

When a member of Congress, their spouse, or their kid makes a stock trade worth more than $1,000, they have to report it within 45 days. That's the STOCK Act, passed in 2012. Each late report costs at least $200 in fines.

Out of about 36,000 auditable trades made by Khanna, 624 were filed late.

The worst one was 358 days late -- almost a full year. A trade in HUMANA stock made in October 2023 wasn't reported until November 2024.

The complaint provides a calculation of how Khanna fares compared to other Congressmen in terms of how often he is late in filing.

Khanna's rate of late filing (1.74%) is better than most members of Congress. The average House member is late on 10% of trades.

So if you measured just the percentage, he'd look fine.

But here's where things get crazy.

The complaint uses a special "composite score" that combines (1) how much money is involved, (2) how late, and (3) how many trades.

By that score, Khanna ranks in the top 7% of the entire House.

This means that Khanna's late filings expose more dollars to delayed disclosure than 93% of members.

A late report means the public can't see what a member of Congress is buying or selling at the time it happens.

By the time it's disclosed, the value of the inside information is gone.

The late filings are not hitting Khanna on a technicality.

They imply that the entire system designed to prevent insider trading in Congress is broken inside Khanna's office.

The 45-day disclosure rule is not a paperwork deadline. It is the security camera. It is the only mechanism that lets the public see what a Congressman is buying while the trade still matters -- while the bill is still being debated, while the FDA decision is still pending, while the news is still fresh.

When Khanna files 358 days late, the camera is off. By the time anyone sees the trade, the moment has passed. The witnesses have moved on. The dots cannot be connected.

A few late filings is a paperwork mistake. 624 of them, on a household making 37,000 trades, in the exact industries Khanna's committees regulate, is a system.

It is Khanna's system. It is how he does his dirty work.

And it is the system that lets every other count in this complaint happen in the dark.

Until now.

The complaint asks for:

1. Civil penalties for the late filings.
2. A requirement that Khanna set up an actual qualified blind trust going forward.
3. An Ethics Committee finding under House Rule XXIII that the absolute-count and composite-score chamber rankings reflect conduct that does not reflect creditably on the House.

---

COUNT 2: Buying defense stocks right before defense bills pass

Members of Congress can't trade based on inside information they got from doing their congressional job (the STOCK Act, sections 3 and 4).

Khanna sits on the House Armed Services Committee, which writes the giant yearly defense bill (the NDAA).

And across four different years, his household bought stock in big defense contractors (Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, etc.) right before the NDAA passed:

> 7 defense stock buys 12 days before the 2018 NDAA
> 4 defense stock buys 4 days before the 2021 NDAA override
> 1 Palantir buy 13 days before the 2022 NDAA
> 2 Raytheon buys 2 days before the 2024 NDAA

Khanna publicly voted NO on 12 of 13 of these NDAA passage votes.

So he's saying "I oppose this bill" with his vote.

But his family is buying stock in the companies that would benefit from it passing.

That, of course, is insane.

The complaint argues this is the worst version of the conflict:

Khanna gets the political credit for opposing the bill.

Meanwhile, he makes money from insider knowledge from sitting on the Committee, knowing it would pass anyway.

In addition.

Khanna sits on a committee that oversees defense contracts. The data analytics company Palantir got $4.88 billion in federal contracts during his time in Congress.

On at least nine separate days, Palantir got a federal contract AND Khanna's household bought Palantir stock the same day.

One of these was a $19 million Air Force contract on May 10, 2022: the same day his dependent child's account made six separate Palantir trades.

Khanna's defense trades made about $5.4 million in profits beyond what the broader market did, suggesting that Khanna was using his insider knowledge -- through the intermediary of his dependent child -- to beat the market.

What the complaint asks for:

1. Send to House Ethics.
2. Send to DOJ for possible criminal charges.
3. Force Khanna to give back the $5.4 million.

---

COUNT 3: Buying drug company stocks right before government drug actions

COUNT 3 is the same as COUNT 2, except healthcare stocks instead of defense stocks.

Yes, Khanna is doing the same thing across stock classes. Of course.

Khanna sits on a committee that oversees the agencies regulating drug companies (HHS, CMS, FDA). The complaint identifies 14 different government drug-pricing actions between 2017 and 2024 where Khanna's household made pharmaceutical-company trades within 14 days of the action.

1,244 pharmaceutical-sector trades clustered within ±14 days of these events. That's chamber rank 1 of 66 House members, 14 times the chamber 95th-percentile.

The biggest example: On August 2, 2024, Khanna's family made 286 trades in a single-day rebalance.

Hidden inside was simultaneous trading in four of the nine drug companies (AbbVie, Amgen, Johnson & Johnson, Merck) whose drugs were going to be on the government's negotiated-price list.

That list was published 13 days later, on August 15, 2024.

It was confidential and not yet public on the day of the trades.

But Khanna had insider access to the list. And made the flurry of trades that aligned with it at precisely the right time.

Two other "conflict triangles" the complaint highlights:

1. Palantir (already mentioned in Count 2): Khanna chairs the China select committee and is a top member on the cyber subcommittee. Palantir is a defense tech company affected by both. His family has done 29 Palantir trades and gotten $22,700 in donations from Palantir's chief operating officer.

2. Nvidia: In 2024, Khanna's family donated 10,076 shares of Nvidia stock (worth about $1.67 million when given, much more later as the stock soared) to a family foundation. In the same year, he voted NO on a chips bill, voted YES on four China-policy bills, and continued chairing the China committee. This is the committee that has the most influence over Nvidia's massive AI chip business.

3. The Goldman Sachs margin loan setup: Across 2017-2019, Khanna's spouse had two simultaneous Goldman Sachs margin loans (basically borrowing money against stocks to buy more stocks).

Each loan was labeled as belonging to a family trust ("Ritu Ahuja 1994 Trust" and "Ritu Ahuja 1995 Trust"). This same Goldman Sachs is also the broker for a sophisticated short-volatility options trading program in the spouse's account, and Goldman employees have donated about $48,000 to Khanna over the years.

You can't run an options trading program on a margin account passively; somebody (the spouse) has to authorize each trade.

What COUNT 3 asks for: Same as COUNT 2:

1. Send to Ethics.
2. Send to DOJ.
3. Force Khanna to step away from CMS, FDA, and defense matters pending investigation.

---

COUNT 4: Khanna's family trades line up with insider events at the issuer level — same-day SEC filings and same-day insider trades

The single sharpest count in the complaint.

The legal hook is the STOCK Act §§ 3-4, codified at 15 U.S.C. § 78u-1(g) — the federal statute that extends Rule 10b-5 insider-trading prohibitions directly to Members of Congress who trade on material non-public information acquired through their legislative or oversight duties.

Khanna's household trades are not just suspicious because of how many they are. They are suspicious because they happen at very specific moments.

Two examples:

> 186 of his household's trades happened on the same calendar day that the company in question filed important news with the SEC (Form 8-K — the disclosure form companies file for material acquisitions, executive changes, regulatory actions, and the other news events the SEC requires public companies to disclose immediately).
> 86 of his household's trades happened on the same calendar day that a named officer at the same company (CEO, CFO, board member) was buying or selling their own stock in the same direction.

On each of these patterns, Khanna ranks at the top of the entire House:

> Same-day-8-K count: rank 1 of 96 House Members. 4.3 times more than the second-place Member.
> Same-day-aligned-insider count: rank 3 of 156 House Members.

The complaint does NOT allege that Khanna's RATE of same-day-8-K trading is exceptionally high. As a percentage of his trades, his same-day-8-K rate is 5.4% — which is above the chamber median (4.5%) but inside the normal band. The complaint discloses this candidly, up front, to pre-empt the inevitable "his rate is in-band" defense.

The argument is about ABSOLUTE count combined with ticker-specificity: the same-day intersections concentrate on companies in sectors his committees regulate.

These two findings join two more from Count 3:

> 4,595 pharmaceutical trades within 14 days of FDA Advisory Committee meetings. Rank 1 of 66 House Members. 6.1 times the second-place Member.

> 1,244 pharmaceutical trades within 14 days of CMS rulemaking events. Rank 1 of 66 House Members. 14 times chamber P95.

Across four independent issuer-event and regulator-event substrates — SEC 8-K filings, named-officer Form 3/4/5 filings, FDA Advisory Committee calendar, CMS rulemaking calendar — Khanna's household ranks first or third by absolute count. The four substrates are independent: different agencies, different filer classes, different denominators. The convergence is structurally inconsistent with portfolio management that doesn't draw on contemporaneous information advantage.

The complaint asks for:

1. Ethics Committee referral for full investigation.
2. DOJ referral for criminal review under 15 U.S.C. § 78ff (Exchange Act criminal penalty) if any single windowed trade reflects willful use of material non-public information.
3. Disgorgement under STOCK Act § 9 of any profit attributable to same-day-issuer-event or same-day-officer-aligned trading.
4. A House Rule XXIII finding that the four-substrate convergence reflects conduct that does not reflect creditably on the House.

---

COUNT 5: Ex-government officials who became lobbyists are donating to him

The law says that federal officials who leave government can't immediately go lobby their old agencies. Various waiting periods apply, and the lifetime ban (18 U.S.C. § 207(a)(1)) prevents them from ever working on the same specific matters they personally worked on in government.

Yet, five former federal officials, who all later became registered lobbyists, donated to Khanna's campaign. Each one's old job lines up with what they're now lobbying about:

1. Chris Israel. Former Deputy Assistant Commerce Secretary. Now lobbies for tech and pharma companies (Qualcomm, AbbVie, PhRMA). Donated $1,000 (one $500 check was refunded within 24 hours).
2. Arshi Siddiqui. Former senior staffer to Speaker Pelosi. Now a partner at Akin Gump, lobbying on Armed Services issues for RTX (Raytheon) and Honeywell. Donated $2,000.
3. Francisco Sanchez. Former Obama Commerce Department Under Secretary for International Trade. Now lobbies on international trade issues. Donated $1,250.
4. Kevin Batteh. Former CFTC counsel. Now lobbies on CFTC and DoD issues for Citadel and D.E. Shaw. Donated $1,000.
5. Robert Taylor. The most damning case. Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Senate Affairs. Now lobbies for Boeing, BAE Systems, Aerojet Rocketdyne, Textron — the exact defense contractors his old job covered. Donated $1,000 (NOT refunded). Khanna sits on Armed Services.

Their employees too: The companies these lobbyists work for collectively gave $365,140 across 264 individual contributions to Khanna.

Khanna says he doesn't take corporate PAC money. But the corporations' executives give to him personally.

Lobbyists are required to disclose their political contributions. Two of the five lobbyists hid the Khanna donations from their required reports. Robert Taylor's case is the worst: he affirmatively certified "I made no contributions" while a Khanna donation was sitting in the period.

The complaint asks for:

1. DOJ referral for the lifetime-ban review (especially Robert Taylor).
2. DOJ referral for Taylor's allegedly false lobbying disclosure.
3. FEC audit.

COUNT 6: The Ahuja family foundation and a missing rental property

Three problems.

PROBLEM 1: Khanna's family foundation isn't disclosed as a spouse asset

Remember how 99.997% of the trades made by Khanna are made either through his spouse or his child?

His wife's Ahuja Charitable Foundation is a $45 million private family foundation. His wife Ritu Ahuja Khanna, is:

> A named trustee every year from 2018 through 2024 (according to the foundation's own IRS filings)
> A substantial contributor for tax years 2022, 2023, and 2024 (also per IRS filings)

The foundation owns massive amounts of stock in defense companies (Honeywell, L3Harris, TransDigm, Boeing, GE Vernova) and healthcare companies, again exactly the sectors Khanna's committees oversee.

Khanna's annual financial disclosures don't mention the foundation as a spouse-held asset at all. And they don't mention his wife's trustee role. Federal ethics law (5 U.S.C. § 13104(d)(1)(A)) requires members to disclose their spouse's income from nonprofit positions where the spouse has decision-making power. The complaint says the Ethics Committee should decide whether this should have been disclosed.

Now, in 2024, Khanna's wife "donated" 2,821 shares of Nvidia to the Foundation, and the related Ahuja family trust donated 7,255 more shares

This was a combined 10,076 shares of Nvidia worth $1.67 million at donation time (much more later).

This happened the same year Khanna voted on multiple chip and China bills and continued chairing the China committee.

PROBLEM 2: A rental property in Dover, Delaware is missing

In tax year 2021, Khanna disclosed a $100,000-$250,000 mortgage from "First Bank of Wilmington, Delaware" tied to a Dover, Delaware rental property.

But across ten years of disclosures (2014-2023), the Dover, Delaware property itself never appears as an asset. Federal law says any rental property worth more than $1,000 has to be disclosed.

And here's the killer: Every other rental property the household owns (Cincinnati OH, Denham LA, Walton Hills OH, Harahan LA, an NY condo, Walton OH) is correctly disclosed both as an asset AND with the rental income.

Only Dover, Delaware is missing on both sides. So the household clearly knows how to fill out the form. They just didn't for this one property.

Why?

What's special about that property?

The public deserves to know if Khanna is hiding something.

PROBLEM 3: Margin loans and options trading prove there's no blind trust

Across 2017-2020, Khanna's spouse had Goldman Sachs margin loans (borrowing against stocks). At the same time, the household was running a sophisticated options trading program. They were writing PUT options on the spouse-owned account.

Under brokerage rules, writing options on a margin account requires personal customer authorization. You can't run an options program with a passive blind trust.

The "I have no idea what my spouse is trading" defense is impossible.

Khanna knew. And he was breaking the rules.

The complaint asks for:

1. Ethics Committee review of the foundation question.
2. Per-year corrective filings on the Dover property.
3. Civil penalties.
4. A possible "honest services" fraud referral if the Ethics Committee finds intentional concealment.

---

How much money Khanna made

> $61 million in profits the family made from these trades (middle estimate)
> $28 million of that is "alpha" — money beyond what just buying an index fund would have earned
> 41% of those profits ($25.2 million) came from trades made within two weeks of an event Khanna could have known about because of his job
> The complaint asks for that money to be paid back (called "disgorgement") under STOCK Act penalty rules

What the complaint asks

1. The Office of Congressional Conduct should investigate and refer the case to the House Ethics Committee for a real investigation
2. Parts of it should go to the FEC for the LD-203 lobbyist-contribution-disclosure compliance audit
3. Parts of it should go to the DOJ for possible criminal review (insider trading under 15 U.S.C. § 78u-1(g) and § 78ff; lifetime lobbying ban violations under 18 U.S.C. § 207; false statements on lobbyist disclosure filings under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 and 2 U.S.C. § 1606)
4. Khanna should set up an actual blind trust to prevent this in the future
5. He should recuse himself from CMS, FDA, and defense matters while it's being investigated
6. The roughly $28 million in market-beating profits should be returned

Hey Ro Khanna: Which oligarchs? The ones who use tax-deductible charitable dollars, routed through layers of tax-exempt organizations, to support political operations that help elect candidates like Zohran Mamdani? Sunlight shouldn’t be partisan. If you’re serious about fighting oligarchic influence, follow the money wherever it leads. The tax code doesn’t care about political affiliations. Neither should the IRS.

What?

Is that how you characterize a jurisdiction-stripping statute that is Congress's response to the conduct of district judges that brought the immigration process to a standstill in the 1990s?

You realize, I presume, that Bill Clinton signed that law with those jurisdiction-stripping provisions.

This case is about nothing more than allowing the Executive to act pursuant to the discretion given to it by Congress.

Show me where you took on entrenched power.

Show me where you stood alone when it cost you something.

Show me the victories your strategy produced.

I've got six years of court records, investigations, RTKs, documentaries, legal filings, and public battles.

What exactly does the Delco GOP have to show for the same six years besides excuses?

Not once was Val a target of the Boden regime, Shapiro, the enemy we all know why. She plays in the same sandbox as the enemy. She ripped apart Trump for years, praised Shapiro, and has gone after Conservative MAGA voices ,election integrity activists and experts, and berates women while She is pounding alcohol. She and her operatives threaten with lawsuits the minute they get called out and then do nothing. ....I have 6 years of screenshots

Don't confuse access with influence.

Don't confuse titles with courage.

And don't confuse silence with strategy.

Some of us were willing to pay the price for speaking up. Others were content to protect the club.

You haven't produced a thing ,other than money for the party. Which doesn't win elections clearly. Delco GOP has been losing since 2014.

I fight for my Republic not the Republican Party.

This is what lurks and lives in the PA GOP STATE COMMITTEE RINOS, HOUSEWIVES OF DELCO AND THE GOOD OL BOYS.

Nobody is donating to your party because it is filled with people like her and the good ol boys she answers to..

Go get filled with botox ,drink your booze and praise Big Pharma while pretending to "Work Hard"

A man in Barnstable MA speaking on illegal immigration:

Brings to mind the Quote from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn:

“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They do not ask for much. Just to be left alone. But when they are pushed too far, when their families, their homes, their livelihoods, or their way of life is threatened… they become the most dangerous force on earth.”

Karmelo Anthony Case Update: This morning, I discovered that a social media personality is planning a live stream because they are angry that the Judge Roach ordered to seal the identities of minor witnesses and jurors for their protection.

According to recordings and statements I personally obtained, this individual intends to publicly identify witnesses - including minors - by sharing their names and photographs.

This individual also stated “you can’t seal the minors names, because we were in court. We were taking notes. And we know who everyone is. That is why I’m going to expose every last witness that got up there and lied. I’m going to expose you. I’m going to put your big ugly face up. I’m going to talk about you like a damn dog”.

This is the very definition of doxxing.

I have already contacted the prosecutor’s office, Bill Wirskye, and alerted the Frisco Police Department.

I will NOT be sharing a link to the live stream or directing traffic to it. I will, however, be monitoring it and documenting everything that occurs. If protected witness information is released, I will preserve the evidence and provide it directly to the appropriate authorities.

Something needs to be done before witnesses - especially CHILDREN - are placed at risk. The court sealed this information for a reason: to protect the people who participated in the judicial process.

If anyone with law enforcement or the prosecutor’s office needs the recordings I have obtained, please contact me. I will provide everything I have.

It’s safe to say that I am SO tired of this. For well over a year, I’ve monitored and documented this kind of conduct. My file is extensive. The evidence is there. At some point, enough has to be enough. It’s time for the appropriate authorities to take action.

The apparently "forced" retirement by SecWar Hegesth of US Army 4 Star Chris Donahue is justified -- to me at least -- as simple recognition that the Combatant Commanders responsible for the Afghanistan surrender aren't entitled to have their paths to retirement be gilded to the max extent possible.

13 young Marines and Soldiers didn't make it to retirement because of command failures.

Billions in U.S. weapons and materials were left behind when Bagrham was abandoned in the middle of the night.

Sometimes a small number of bad decision overwhelm a career of good decisions.

Hegseth is a SecWar who identifies a lot more closely with the E1-E4s on the ground he used to command in forward combat units. That describes the 13 who died.

I don't think he's losing any sleep over a 4 Star who might not have maxed his retirement benefits by being forced to retire earlier than he wanted.

Sunny Hostin sees parallels between the rise of the Tea Party and the rise of the Democratic Socialists.

No—there is no parallel. One is rooted in American constitutional principles, limited govt and individual liberty; the other is rooted in Marxist ideology, bigger govt, and greater state control. One seeks to preserve America’s founding traditions, while the other seeks to transform them.

This will be very interesting to follow.

> Death by hit-and-run --> semi-truck.
> Found the semi-truck, abandoned, at a truck stop near I-65/State Road 2 in Hebron, IN.
> The truck and trailer were towed for processing.
> The truck driver was not found with the truck.
> The truck driver may have been found.
> Person taken into custody.

"The driver, according to my sources, ditched the semi at a truck stop in Indiana and hours later showed back up to his company in Illinois, where he was taken into custody." -@CourtSpinelliTV
