The response from Chairman Tom Cotton and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to the action of DNI Tulsi Gabbard was predictable.

The SSCI has now framed the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 [LINK] to modify the “responsibilities and authorities of the Director of National Intelligence.” [Section 402]

We knew this was coming.  The Intelligence Community does not like rogue actors amid their ranks, especially if those people have cross-silo access.  The silo system is designed to protect the Deep State.  Any entity who can cross reference the inserted information becomes a risk to the enterprise.

Senator Cotton cannot directly oppose Tulsi Gabbard without exposing himself.  Thus someone, not the SSCI, writes the legislative changes to the Intelligence Community rules and procedures and Tom Cotton simply advances them.  That’s the way DC operates.

The Trump-Russia collusion story was always a targeted false smear intended to generate a special counsel and hamstring the surprising winner from the 2016 election, Donald Trump.  The Russia-Collusion narrative was always an Intelligence Community op against Donald TRump.

Yesterday, Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard released a tranche of background information, [114 pages of information],  showing how the Obama administration intentionally and with great purpose fabricated the entire story.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Press Release Here – Files Containing Evidence Here

Staying focused on the trail of evidence held deep within the ODNI office, is why Tulsi Gabbard has been targeted for removal over the past several weeks.  Kudos to Tulsi Gabbard for staying on mission – Great job.

What the evidence shows is a focused targeting operation intended to fabricate a false premise by the United States Intelligence Community, through the Office of former DNI James Clapper.  The op was green-lighted by Barack Obama as a way to impede the agenda of incoming President Donald Trump.  All three branches of government collaborated on the scheme.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard revealed overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.

This story is representative of just how desperate the political left and media have become over the issue of deporting illegal aliens.

41-year-old Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, of South Los Angeles, who is an illegal alien, participated in a scheme to falsify a rather elaborate story claiming to have been kidnapped by ICE agents.  The woman and a group of co-conspirators, including her lawyer, fabricated a story and held press conferences claiming she was abducted by ICE agents.  The entire story was false, and she was arrested for fabricating the scheme [DOJ Announcement Here]

🚨 WOW! An illegal in California has been charged for STAGING A KIDNAPPING & attempting to FRAME ICE

The “kidnapping” hoax is DIRECTLY out of the Democrats’ playbook. Their rhetoric enabled this.

DOJ – LOS ANGELES – An illegal alien from Mexico has been charged in a federal criminal complaint with orchestrating a phony kidnapping – which she blamed on federal agents or people working with federal agents – to generate public sympathy and solicit donations, the Justice Department announced today.

The Wall Street Journal has published an article [SEE HERE] essentially trying to smear President Trump by saying they have gained custody of a leather bound book, put together by Ghislaine Maxwell for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003.  The book reportedly contains a “roasting style” letter sent by Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein outlining their sexual prowess.

There are some who have speculated the recent tone and response by President Trump to those who requested release of the “Epstein files” may have been a proactive decision by Trump who knew the WSJ story was being assembled.   However, the entire thing seems so over-the-top ridiculous it’s likely fake news or manufactured foolishness; akin to the Chris Steel claims of “tapes” showing President Trump standing on a bed in Moscow peeing on prostitutes (completely untrue and stupid).

President Trump responded: “The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued. Mr. Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but, obviously, did not have the power to do so.

The Editor of The Wall Street Journal, Emma Tucker, was told directly by Karoline Leavitt, and by President Trump, that the letter was a FAKE, but Emma Tucker didn’t want to hear that. Instead, they are going with a false, malicious, and defamatory story anyway. President Trump will be suing The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch, shortly. The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don’t even exist.

Yesterday, the DOJ and FBI released a memo concluding Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide, maintained no “client list,” and engaged in no blackmail – effectively debunking theories of his motives.  This DOJ/FBI memo contradicts Attorney General Pam Bondi’s prior claims of reviewing such a client list.  Many people are wondering what is going on?

You can read the Two-Page Memo HERE – Also the Video File is HERE

If the memo content is accurate, Jeffrey Epstein trafficked in sex with thousands of minors for his own gratification.  He was not providing underage girls to high profile clients and did not maintain a client list.  Additionally, there is no evidence to support a supposition that Epstein’s actions were part of a system to generate blackmail of influential people.

[SOURCE HERE]

Oddly, perhaps not, there is no information as to the source of his wealth or financing of his sick activity.  Apparently, Jeffrey Epstein was able to conduct all of these targeting acts, and live a luxurious lifestyle surrounded by codependent enablers, from an unknown source of material wealth and income.

Yes, it all seems odd and irreconcilable.

You are not weird, strange or alone if you do not understand.  None of it makes sense.

I’m just going to outline this post as it is framed by Vice President JD Vance without anything…

JD Vance – “This is such a revealing clip. The American media is full of the least curious, least insightful people in our country.

To recap, an out of context, “low confidence” and incomplete intelligence report was selectively leaked to the media. The media reported on the findings without any real effort to figure out whether they represent any part of (much less the full) truth. The way the media has presented the report is contradicted by the IAEA, the Iranians themselves, and the administration’s political and defense leadership. More importantly, the media’s reports are contradicted by common sense.

[Vance, cont…] “To summarize: a dozen 30,000-pound bunker busters were dropped on Iran’s main nuclear site. (The other two sites that were targeted suffered heavy damage too). No one disputes they hit their targets. No one disputes the explosive or destructive power of the weapons. No one disputes that a week ago, Iran could have easily assembled a nuclear weapon and now they can’t.

The entire debate–even accepting the press’s dishonest framing–is not about whether Iran can now build a nuke. They can’t. It’s about how much rebuilding the Iranians would have to do in order to achieve a nuclear weapon. In other words, after a wildly successful military operation with no American casualties, the American media is trying to blame Donald Trump for the existence of facilities *that haven’t even been built yet.*

While it is a strong win, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision to fully stay the lower court order was not unexpected.  The temporary restraining order issued by District Judge Charles Breyer was obviously political and legally weak, very weak.

The Ninth CCA simply affirmed that a violent crisis was afoot in California; federal officials and buildings were under attack; the local police and state government did nothing to stop it; so President Trump took legally authorized action to intervene, and took control of the national guard. [SEE RULING HERE]

The decision is not complicated.  The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously concluded President Trump lawfully exercised his authority in federalizing control of the guard.  The ruling affirmed the Trump administration presented enough evidence to show it had a rationale for doing so, citing violent acts by protesters.

“The undisputed facts demonstrate that before the deployment of the National Guard, protesters ‘pinned down’ several federal officers and threw ‘concrete chunks, bottles of liquid, and other objects’ at the officers. Protesters also damaged federal buildings and caused the closure of at least one federal building. And a federal van was attacked by protesters who smashed in the van’s windows,” the court wrote. “The federal government’s interest in preventing incidents like these is significant.”

The court also found that even if the federal government failed to notify the governor of California before federalizing the National Guard as required by law, Newsom had no power to veto the president’s order.  A common sense straightforward interpretation of the law.

As President Trump is known to say, “don’t make it complicated.”  Just look at things as they are, as they present themselves to be, and ask the most obvious questions.

Consider Antifa.

How can a group within America openly threaten police, use violence against police, throw Molotov cocktails, bricks and explosive fireworks at police.  Use batons, shields, bats and physical violence against police and federal law enforcement; destroy vehicles, set cars on fire, destroy property, trash and block the streets and create chaos…. Completely without being stopped?

It doesn’t matter where it is happening, that’s irrelevant.  Think plainly and simply.

How does any individual or group get to do this without being arrested?

It doesn’t make sense… unless….

According to a statement by New Jersey U.S. Attorney Alina Habba, a grand jury has indicted Representative LaMonica McIver (N.J) on three charges related to her involvement in a violent stunt at an ICE facility.

Previously the Dept of Homeland Security released body camera footage showing LaMonica McIver, instigating a violent confrontation with DHS and Immigration Customs and Enforcement officials in Newark, New Jersey.  The indictment today is another step in President Trump’s promise to continue targeting and deporting illegal aliens.

Apparently, the prior narrative that everything was fine, there’s nothing to see here, just didn’t work.  As footage of looting, arson, violence and riots against law enforcement continues to highlight the false presentations of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom, the mayor has now declared a local state of emergency – with an immediate 8:00pm curfew, starting tonight.  WATCH:

The same people burning cars, breaking into businesses, destroying property and throwing objects at law enforcement, are suddenly going to adhere to a curfew!  Huh, imagine that.
