The Federal Bureau of Investigation has a new sheriff in town with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino serving as its director and deputy director respectively under the second Trump presidency, but that doesn’t mean the riffraff that’s infected this agency are gone. Progress has been made to dismiss, reassign, or outright fire the problematic staffers that had turned the FBI into the Democratic Party’s police force. The latest allegation must be investigated.Independent reporter Michael Shellenberger said that sources told him that agents were destroying servers that contained sensitive documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein and the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

In August 2024, The Gateway Pundit’s Patty McMurray first reported on a Democrat-funded voter registration group accused of turning in hundreds of suspected fraudulent voter registrations—this time in Ohio! ** You can read the full TGP August report here.** The Gateway Pundit discovered that a group called Black Fork Strategies, which operates across the state of Ohio, was being investigated by the Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose over another alleged fraudulent voter registration campaign. On their website, Black Fork Strategies brags about registering a stunning 125,000+ voters in Ohio since 2018.

MSNBC has reportedly informed a majority of staffers who work on Rachel Maddow’s primetime opinion show that they are being let go as part of the network’s restructuring that resulted in the cancellation of Joy Reid’s program as well as those of other hosts. The Comcast-owned, left-leaning channel told Maddow staffers they have the option of applying for new roles at the network or accepting a severance payout, according to the news site Guardian. (Photo) Maddow, MSNBC’s most prominent anchor and top-rated host, will retain her executive producer, Cory Gnazzo, along with several senior producers, the Guardian reported. However, the rest of her team, along with producers from other recently canceled shows

The majority of MSNBC staffers who produced Rachel Maddow’s primetime evening program are being let go as part of the network’s shakeup. While Maddow will get to keep her executive producer and other senior producers, the rest are being given the option of applying for new positions at the network or claiming severance. The Maddow team was let go because of a quirk of how they worked on both Maddow’s show and Alex Wagner’s show, when Maddow scaled back to hosting only Mondays and Wagner hosted Tuesday to Friday.

Olivia Troye, who served as an adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence during President Donald Trump's first term, defended Joy Reid after MSNBC announced her show, The Reidout, was being canceled. Newsweek reached out to Reid for comment via email. (Snip) Troye described the cancellation as "a tremendous loss for them and a disheartening signal to all who believe in honest, transformative dialogue." "Few experiences have been as defining as my time as a guest on Joy Reid's show, The Reid Out," she wrote. "Joy's fearless discourse and unwavering commitment to truth reshaped my understanding of what the media

Most writers are familiar with three words made famous by novelist Stephen King: “Kill your darlings.” Why am I telling you this? Because it directly relates to what Tesla CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are trying to do with the federal government. King’s writing advice isn’t as violent as it sounds. He’s speaking of the well-known concept that when it comes to words, less is more. Brevity is better. Yet, that forces writers to take a hard look at their own creation. Once something is on paper (or the computer screen) it becomes hard to “kill” it. It’s yours, after all. The same holds true of the federal government,

President Donald Trump's director of national intelligence is taking action against federal employees within the intelligence community for alleged ties to explicit conversations on an internal agency messaging board. DNI Tulsi Gabbard put out a directive Tuesday to terminate the employment of and revoke the security clearances of employees who participated in obscene and explicit chatrooms on the National Security Agency's (NSA) "Intelink" messaging platform. "There are over 100 people from across the intelligence community that contributed to and participated in... what is really just an egregious violation of trust

We know what you’re thinking. Why waste any time on Joe Biden? Who cares about him anymore? Well, you should, since the nation will be cleaning up Biden’s messes for years to come. And one of the biggest was his campaign to usher as many illegal immigrants as possible into the country while lying to the American people about what was going on. At his first press conference in March 2021 – after claiming that nothing had changed at the border (despite repealing every Trump executive order securing the border on day one) – he said the surge of illegals then underway

Within days of Donald Trump’s November landslide, Bishop Mark Seitz, head of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ migration committee, warned that Their Eminences were preparing to “’raise our voice loudly’” if Trump’s immigration policy “’violates basic human rights.’” This episcopal loudness signals the end of the USCCB’s scrupulously-maintained four-year vow of silence through the entire presidency of the “devoutly” Catholic Joe Biden. Their silence spoke volumes to Catholics witnessing Biden doing his utmost to wage open war on the most fundamental teachings of the Church. Not only was this “‘good Catholic’” (Biden claimed Pope Francis described him this way during a 2021 audience),

Last week, I received the email below from Gale Primary Sources, acting on behalf of the University of California’s Center for Right-Wing Studies. It sought permission to digitize and disseminate materials created by my organization, Center of the American Experiment. These materials would be part of an archive that Berkeley will “publish and commercially distribute,” for the purposes of academic research and education on the “Right Wing.” I noticed that, while it was sent by email, the Gale communication was mis-addressed to my organization’s former headquarters–the building that was firebombed by left-wing extremists. Curious about the bipartisan nature of Berkeley’s interest in “wing” studies, I responded: Dear Sir/Madam,

In the US, in the past -- many people may have forgotten -- Iran was found guilty of supporting the 9/11 attacks.... Recently, Iranian state agents have been trying to murder senior US officials who served in the Trump administration, various dissidents, and Donald Trump himself. Iran has an interest in having Democrats re-elected as soon as possible. Even while Iran fired on US forces in the region more than 160 times just since October 7, 2023, the Biden administration never stopped being inordinately generous to Iran and compliant with its nuclear weapons program.B

Speaking to reporters at the White House Tuesday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the White House Correspondents Association and a handful of media outlets will no longer have a monopoly over coverage of President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, on Air Force One and in other limited spaces within the administration. "For decades a group of DC based journalists, the White House Correspondents' Association, has long dictated which journalists get to ask questions of the president of the United States in these most intimate spaces. Not anymore," Leavitt said. "All journalists, outlets and voices deserve a seat at this highly coveted table."

Get ready for "Musk Or Us" to meet "DOGE R Us." And the astroturfers whose finances are about to get shredded will not like the outcome. The Protection Racket Media has seized (or is it pounced?) on protests at town-hall meetings over DOGE cuts to the federal bureaucracy. Politico gave us an example of the DOGE-is-unpopular media narrative this morning, in fact: Rep. Jay Obernolte’s town hall in California last week was drowned out by shouts of “No king!” Rep. Glenn Grothman entered his Wisconsin town hall to boos and jeers, while Rep. Cliff Bentz of Oregon faced so much heckling that he threatened to leave. But

FAFO, Associated Press style. The White House won a temporary victory yesterday in the lawsuit brought by the AP over their exclusion from the briefing room and Air Force One. The judge in the case declined to issue a temporary restraining order, but seemed inclined to think that the AP would prevail on the merits. Judge Trevor McFadden questioned whether the Trump administration had conducted viewpoint discrimination, suggesting that the AP would win at trial. McFadden also noted pointedly that the White House allowed the White House Correspondents Association authority to grant credentials and access to the media spaces:
