In typical U.K political fashion, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer flew to Saudi Arabia to present the optics of participation, when he found out about the Iran ceasefire deal.
Immediately, Starmer, with an apparent mouse in his pocket, heads for the cameras to announce, “well, we’ve just reached this ceasefire.” WATCH (prompted):
.
“Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!
The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.
Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP
In his first press conference since given the interim responsibilities of U.S. Attorney General, Acting AG Todd Blanche holds a press conference on the topic of a Dept of Justice National Fraud Taskforce.
Acting AG Blanche notes there are an additional 97 prosecutors assigned to prosecute fraud and protect the financial security of the U.S. government. A national fraud detention center is being assembled to review all government data and find the root causes of systemic financial fraud within all U.S. agencies.

With a critical Hungarian election coming up on April 12th, Vice President JD Vance travels to Hungary to show support from the Trump administration for Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
In the background Hungary is under a great deal of pressure from the European Union for Orban’s resistance to expanded conflict with Russia. The various left-wing European media claim that Prime Minister Orban is a friend to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the political/intelligence operations of Ukraine have aligned with the EU to target Viktor Orban for removal.
Vice-President JD Vance held a joint press conference with Prime Minister Orban to outline the challenges to the EU, answer questions about the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict and discuss the current energy crisis that has unfolded in Europe as a result of chasing net-zero policies. WATCH:

Dept of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin appears on Fox News with Brett Baier to discuss how the UniParty congress continues to withhold funding for DHS operations because the goal is to block border security.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as well as Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are targeted for defunding as part of Washington DC’s goal to stop immigration enforcement operations. The core of the UniParty apparatus in Washington DC is to facilitate the flow of illegal aliens and H1B workers for the interests who fund them. For Democrats the issue is ideological; for Republicans the issue is financial. WATCH:
Within the discussion, Secretary Mullin weighs the possibility of pulling CBP officers out of the international airports of sanctuary states, thereby effectively closing any international transit from those states and cities. This would reroute massive amounts of international air travel.
Two weeks ago, after a lengthy back-and-forth process between the HPSCI and DNI offices, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) reported they released the transcript of former Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). No further information has surfaced following that announcement.
“The transcripts will be posted on the Committee website once they undergo the standard classification review with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.” (source)
It has been two-weeks. The transcript is not public. In my estimation, this transcript could potentially be exceptionally revealing. The background ‘delay’ is likely due to the significant revelations within it. Also, this is a rather extensive stakeholder equity.
The declassification process involves having every equity stakeholder named in the deposition ¹agree to allowing the information, their information, to be released.
Ex. if Atkinson discussed the Senate Intel Committee, they (Cotton/Warner) would need to allow and/or demand redaction. If the CIA was discussed, again another stakeholder who needs to review and approve. If HPSCI, same/same. If any of the internal agencies were discussed by Atkinson, National Security Council (NSC, White House, Rubio), National Intelligence Council (NIC, in CIA at the time), the same process has to flow through each agency. Also, this testimony is in 2019, making it possible contact with FBI or DOJ-NSD coconspirators (Mueller Inc.) may have taken place; the same would apply.
Each stakeholder gets to review the transcript content that applies to their mention and determine if they ¹approve the declassification process.
This is how the silo defense mechanisms work. You can see how convoluted these systems have become.
According to the originating HPSCI public release, remember, they are the originating stakeholder of the classified information; well, the transcript is then returned to the House Intelligence Committee for publication.
[¹If they don’t agree, a battle begins. Remember the battle over the Nunes memo?]
What would all these equity stakeholders be hoping to conceal? That’s where things get interesting.
Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst shares details from a conversation he had with President Donald Trump surrounding negotiations to end armed conflict.
According to Yingst, President Trump is optimistic for a diplomatic settlement and a negotiated deal as early as tomorrow. However, if the deal is not made, the infrastructure within Iran will be systematically destroyed – as noted in a recent Truth Social Post:

AAG Harmeet Dhillon, DOJ head of the Civil Rights Division, is campaigning hard to be the person President Trump and Susie Wiles select to replace Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Mrs Dhillon has a significant personality and political trait-parallel with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and that likely explains why many of the alligator emojis are supporting her not-so-subtle bid to gain the position.

In a rather stunning outline by the New York Times [SEE HERE] the progressive outlet is reporting of serious concerns within the leadership of ActBlue related to their willfully blind reception of foreign sources of money to fund Democrat candidates.
The remarkable aspect is not just that ActBlue takes foreign funds, but rather the New York Times revealing internal legal discussions about it. According to the Times reporting, the Eric Holder law firm Covington & Burling, the primary legal mechanism for the ActBlue/DNC machinery, lies at the heart of the matter.
(NYT) […] The firm concluded that ActBlue’s chief executive had given a potentially misleading response to congressional Republican investigators in a 2023 letter explaining how the organization vetted donations to ensure that they were not illegally coming from foreign citizens.
The letter from the chief executive, Regina Wallace-Jones, said ActBlue carried out “multilayered” screenings of contributions that helped “root out” those from overseas. In fact, the law firm found, some of the steps she had described were not always followed.
“This presents a substantial risk for ActBlue,” the law firm, Covington & Burling, wrote in one of two memos expressing legal concerns. One memo raised the specter of a criminal investigation if prosecutors believed that ActBlue had tried to conceal facts about its efforts to prevent foreign contributions. (source)
To really appreciate the scheme that seems to be outlined by the internal documents, it is worth remembering that James O’Keefe previously did some boots on the ground research into ActBlue [SEE HERE – 2023] and found that multiple, perhaps thousands, of “donor” names and addresses were assigned to contributions the donors said they never made.
They say pictures are worth a thousand words. Well, beyond that level, what does a picture of a headline say?
Think about how many actual people had to be involved in printing this?
