Less Than One Year Out From Midterms, Some Democrats Embrace ‘Abolish ICE’ Movement

As Democrats plot to retake power during next year’s midterm elections, some are embracing a strategy considered politically toxic by many in the party.

Democrats squaring off in primaries across the country are calling for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or for major changes that would strip the agency of its core functions. The resurgence of the “Abolish ICE” movement comes as some Democrats argue President Donald Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown has gone too far, though leading Democrats have still not coalesced around an alternative immigration policy platform.

“Let me be clear, fuck ICE,” Democratic Illinois House candidate Patty Garcia said during a campaign announcement in November. “It’s time to abolish ICE and hold Trump and his entire clan accountable.”

Garcia, who controversially became the presumptive Democratic nominee for a deep blue seat by default following a retirement gambit by her boss, is likely to take her anti-ICE advocacy with her to Congress next year.

Other high-profile Democratic House candidates such as outgoing New York City comptroller Brad Lander and Illinois House candidate Kat Abughazaleh have also forcefully called for the agency’s dismantlement. Lander and Abughazaleh are both running in contested primaries.

“I’m happy to say abolish ICE,” Lander told Zeteo News in June. “I hope other people will say it too.”

Authorities arrested both candidates in separate incidents earlier in 2025 for interfering with ICE proceedings. Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner has gone further and suggested that individual agents should face trial.

Left-wing Democrats in Congress, who may not use the viral slogan themselves, appear to welcome some of their colleagues using “Abolish ICE” messaging.

“You’re gonna hear rhetoric like that because people are in their communities, and they’re seeing masked men and unmarked vehicles go and terrorize our communities in broad daylight,” Democratic Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a brief interview on Friday.

Though Frost did not say whether he would use the phrase himself, the left-wing Floridian said “there needs to be huge changes to ICE” and that $170 billion allocated for border security and immigration enforcement signed into law by Trump in July should be clawed back.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) countered that anti-ICE messaging is dangerous for the men and women serving in law enforcement.

“Attacks and demonization of ICE is wrong,” Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the DCNF in a statement. “President Trump campaigned on immigration enforcement, the American people voted for it, and Secretary [Kristi] Noem is delivering.”

McLaughlin also stated ICE officers are facing a 1,150% increase in assaults as compared with the same period in 2024 under the Biden administration.

Some Democrats are actively trying to distance themselves from the “abolish ICE” movement, which has proven unpopular over consecutive electoral cycles.

“Obviously, there are practices going on at ICE that I fundamentally disagree with, but I don’t think the abolition movement, just like the Defund the Police movement, is the answer,” Democratic Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz said in a brief interview.

“I wouldn’t use that [abolish ICE] language,” Democratic California Rep. Ami Bera said Thursday. “But if we get the majority, obviously we’ll investigate what they’re doing.”

National Republicans appear eager to paint Democrats as the party of “open borders” with calls to eliminate ICE trickling back into some Democrat’s messaging.

“Abolishing ICE has become the radical litmus test Democrats can’t resist,” National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokesman Mike Marinella said in a statement.

Rather than condemn the politically toxic slogan, leading Democrats have cast doubt that “Abolish ICE” is making a messaging comeback.

House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar and Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin both told the DCNF they were not aware of Democrats supporting the agency’s dismantlement.

“The only time I hear that [abolish ICE] is actually from my Republican colleagues,” Aguilar, the third-ranking House Democrat, insisted. “I haven’t heard any Democrats calling for defunding law enforcement agencies.”

House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark dodged when asked whether calls to abolish ICE are welcome in the party. The second-ranking House Democrat said her caucus is focused on lowering costs.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries asked the DCNF for the names of individuals who are calling for ICE’s abolition when pressed on the topic Friday. The lead Democrat said he had not spoken with any “abolish ICE” proponents about their views and slammed Trump’s deportation agenda.

Just 38% of American adults approve of Trump’s job performance on immigration, according to an AP-NORC poll released Thursday. However, a November Reuters/Ipsos poll found that voters favor Republicans to handle immigration than Democrats by a 12-point margin.

Democratic California Rep. Jimmy Gomez, who has previously endorsed belligerent rhetoric against Republicans, argued that ICE needed to be met with resistance, though stopped short of abolition.

“We need to meet them where they’re at,” Gomez told the DCNF. “If they’re in the streets, we got to be there.”

How Epstein Used The Ivy League To Launder His Reputation

Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein ensured that a Google search for his name would return several websites about his donations to science before any headlines about his 2008 conviction, new documents show — the clearest evidence yet that he courted the Ivy League to whitewash his sexual crimes.

Epstein had help amplifying links about his scientific largess in order to crowd out headlines about his exploitation of underage girls, emails released by the House Oversight Committee on Nov. 12 show. One aide to Epstein described the project as “wack-a-mole,” hammering headlines about his pedophilia into search engine obscurity with hyperlinks portraying Epstein as a benevolent booster of evolutionary biology and mathematics.

Though Democrats have used the Epstein case as a political cudgel against Trump, the new disclosures demonstrate that some of Epstein’s most powerful ties in fact stemmed from liberal Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The House documents shed light on Epstein’s relationships to Democratic powerbrokers like Harvard economist Larry Summers and LinkedIn cofounder and former advisor to the MIT Media Lab Reid Hoffman, whom Trump described as a “sleazebag” while answering questions from reporters on Nov. 19.

“I was never a client of Epstein’s and never had any engagement with him other than fundraising for MIT,” Hoffman said on X on Nov. 14.

“I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused,” Summers said in a statement on Nov. 17. “I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein.”

Harvard announced that it would initiate a new probe into its ties to Epstein on Nov. 19, and Summers announced he would leave his role as a Harvard instructor during the investigation. MIT has announced no such renewed probe.

Harvard added J.P. Morgan Asset & Wealth Management CEO Mary Erdoes to the governing board of its endowment on Nov. 25, the Harvard Crimson reported. Erdoes was in constant contact with Epstein while he was one of JP Morgan’s wealthiest clients, according to a Nov. 19 Senate memo.

Harvard did not respond to a request for comment.

MIT spokesperson Kimberly Allen said the university has nothing to add to the 2020 report it commissioned on Epstein.

“Following that review, MIT took a number of steps, including enhancements to our gift acceptance processes and donating to four nonprofits supporting survivors of sexual abuse,” Allen said.

Hoffman could not be reached for comment. Summers did not respond to a request for comment sent to his spokesperson.

‘Profiles In Science’

The cyber scrubbing effort began in 2010 with two bespoke blogs.

Al Seckel — a leader of the “freethought” atheist movement and an author of books about optical illusions, including for MIT Press — helped create two websites portraying Epstein as the benefactor of an exclusive circle of luminaries at science’s frontier, the emails indicate. The websites, though now defunct, are available through the Internet Archive: www.jeffreyepsteinscience.com and www.jeffreyepstein.org. A third website, www.edge.org, documented the gatherings of researchers, science writers and Silicon Valley executives organized by John Brockman and underwritten by the Epstein-funded Edge Foundation.

A request for comment sent to an email for the Edge website did not receive a reply.

Many of the scientists with connections to Epstein also have connections to the Edge Group, a defunct, invite-only club for scientific lectures “at the edge of the world’s knowledge,” which in turn grew out of The Reality Club, scientific realists who met in the 1980s and 1990s, sometimes at the New York Academy of Sciences.

The Edge Group hosted an annual event referred to as “Billionaires’ Dinners” timed with the annual Ted Conference from 1999 to 2015. Attendees included former MIT Media Lab Director Joi Ito, who resigned after his solicitations of grants from Epstein for the Media Lab became public; MIT artificial intelligence scientist Marvin Minsky, whom Epstein funded with a $100,000 grant to MIT and whose memorial prompted a visit by Epstein to the Media Lab; Santa Fe Institute theoretical physicist Murray Gell-Mann, whose research Epstein funded; and MIT quantum information scientist Seth Lloyd, whose research Epstein supported with a $225,000 grant to MIT and who accepted a $60,000 personal gift from the pedophile.

The academics brushed shoulders with other celebrity scientists and tech executives including Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.

Minsky died in 2016. Gell-Mann died in 2019. Ito and Lloyd did not respond to requests for comment. Lloyd acknowledged in a 2019 public apology letter that the donations amounted to “professional as well as moral failings.”

“By continuing to participate in discussions he had with me and other scientists and by accepting his donations, I helped Mr. Epstein protect his reputation, and I disempowered his victims,” he said.

The MIT Media Lab grew out of the earliest Ted Conference in 1984, according to a 2002 New York Times report. Ito resigned when his funding solicitations to Epstein became public in 2019.

Seckel also described “hacking on” Epstein’s Wikipedia page in order to highlight “philanthropic work, Epstein Foundation, promotion of scientists” and to downplay his pedophilia with “careful editing and wording” in a December 2010 email.

Seckel’s emails spell out the purpose of the blogs — replacing “toxic references” with “good ones.”

“It is constant wack-a-mole,” Seckel said in a Dec. 16, 2010, email.

“You have your active detractors out there. Just the way it is,” he said. “On the second page, we have replaced 8 toxic references with good ones, and there are four toxic ones left, which were pushed off the first page.”

The emails indicate Epstein may have paid anywhere from $25,000 to $40,000 for Seckel’s work. The documents do not indicate how much Epstein paid other publicists and consultants.

Seckel, who dated the sister of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, Isabel Maxwell, died in 2015.

An archived version of Epstein’s “profiles in science” blog, www.jeffreyepsteinscience.com, shows very brief posts stating Epstein’s interest in subjects as diverse as digital currency, theoretical physics, cognitive neuroscience and “minimally invasive surgery,” many with Epstein’s name in the headline: “The Value of Complexity as Seen by Jeffrey Epstein,” “Jeffrey Epstein: Thoughts on Quantum Computing,” and “Why Evolutionary Biology Intrigues Jeffrey Epstein.”

The site features photos from a scientific conference organized by Arizona State theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss at Epstein’s Caribbean island, Little Saint James, in 2006, featuring three Nobel laureates.

The new emails include emails between Epstein and Krauss, who remained friends with the pedophile during his incarceration and for years afterward.

“Let’s do a men of the world conference. Kevin Spacey, Bill Clinton, Al Franken, Woody Allen,” Krauss wrote to Epstein in an April 2018 email.

Krauss did not respond to a request for comment.

In 2011, Seckel helped Epstein organize a conference he dubbed the “Mindshift Conference” on Little Saint James featuring several eminent scientists — then highlighted the conference on Epstein’s website, the archived site shows.

A second website, www.jeffreyepstein.org, also promotes Epstein as a science philanthropist, an archived version shows.

It prominently features Epstein’s support of Martin Nowak, the head of the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics (PED) at Harvard, whom Epstein’s website claimed he supported with $30 million in funding by 2010, though the university disputes that figure, placing it at $6.5 million. Summers, then the president of Harvard, helped Epstein establish the lab in 2003 alongside Harvard mathematician Benedict Gross, according to the program’s website at that time.

Epstein describes Nowak’s lab as “my istittue [SIC] at harvard” in an email released on Nov. 12.

“George church and i havng lunch at my istittue [SIC] at harvard sunday. join.?” he wrote to new age guru Deepak Chopra in a November 2018 email. Church is a Harvard Medical School geneticist and former dean of Harvard College who accepted an estimated $2 million from Epstein-connected donors.

Nowak and Church did not respond to requests for comment.

Epstein had an office space at Nowak’s lab, which was located steps away from Harvard Square. Epstein visited at least 40 times, often accompanied by young women, the university acknowledged in its 2020 fact finding report on Epstein’s relationship to the school.

The November 2018 visit revealed in the new documents is not reflected in Harvard’s 2020 report, which described his final campus visit as having occurred in October 2018.

According to that same 2020 report, a public relations associate for Epstein — again seeking to improve his Google search results — persuaded the lab to add a page dedicated to Epstein on its webpage, hosted on the search engine-optimizing harvard.edu domain. The page featured his photo, biography and links to the blogs created by Seckel’s team.

“It would be very helpful in terms of Google results if his name were attached to a Harvard.edu url,” a publicist told Nowak’s lab, per the 2020 report.

Nowak agreed.

The new documents show that this move came amid a 60-day sprint to boot negative headlines from the first page of Google.

“The [Program for Evolutionary Dynamics] set up a page called ‘Friends’ which is where they’ll place jeffrey. I’ll send you the URL when done,” the publicist for Epstein wrote in a 2014 email.

Like Seckel, the publicist recommended that Epstein’s team optimize the algorithm by linking his name to as many prominent scientists as possible, a separate December 2011 email shows. She also sought to fix Epstein’s Wikipedia page, which she described in an email to her boss as having “totally lopsided and damning content on you.”

“I think it’s worth seeing how people like Prince Andrew managed to create an stellar profile—or Bill Clinton for that matter,” she wrote. “You need to update your website immediately by adding the bio on you from The Edge if you can and adding a longer summary of science and scientists that you are/have worked with.”

She recommended using the service Reputation.com.

Epstein continued to direct funds to Harvard and MIT and continued to attempt to scrub Google by promoting these grants up until his 2019 arrest.

In 2017, Epstein positioned himself as a counterforce to Trump in science funding. Another publicist placed an opinion piece in the Huffington Post with the headline “Private Donor Helps Fund Scientists After Trump’s Proposed ‘Anti-Science’ Budget Cuts” featuring Epstein’s support of NowakLlyodMinksy and others, generating yet another positive hyperlink.

The new documents show Ito raising funds for the MIT Media Lab from Epstein in May 2019, just weeks before his July 2019 arrest.

Bar Owner Who Offered Free Drinks for ICE Tips Getting Death Threats

The owner of a pro-MAGA bar that sparked national outrage by offering free drinks for tips to “identify and ultimately deport” any “illegal” says he has received death threats.

“People are outright saying I should die for this and that my family should die,” Mark Fitzpatrick, the self-described “heterosexual supremacist” and owner of the Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, told Fox News Digital. On Nov. 29, Fitzpatrick’s business went viral after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reshared one of its posts on X. The post read, “Anyone who helps ICE identify and ultimately deport an illegal from Idaho gets FREE BEER FOR ONE MONTH at Old State Saloon!” The post had amassed nearly 8 million views as of Dec. 8.

“At Old State Saloon, we really aren’t strangers to speaking out boldly about conservative, Christian values,” Fitzpatrick told Fox, adding that he “couldn’t believe it” when the DHS amplified his post. After the post went viral online, the MAGA-themed bar, which serves cocktails such as the Maga Rita, Trump’s Survival Shot, and Biden’s Last Fall Mudslide, received hundreds of negative reviews aimed at the business, prompting Facebook and Instagram to remove the bar’s offer.

Despite the backlash, Fitzpatrick maintained in his Fox interview that he “simply posted something that encourages people to support law enforcement, to support the efforts of our immigration.” “Some people are praying for me and for my protection,” Fitzpatrick said in his interview, adding that he has also received “many threats to burn down the building.”

“I did think about why people get so upset with me,” the bar owner revealed, as he has received public backlash for the second time.

Iran to Hang Abused Child Bride — World Must Stop This!

Halt the Execution of Goli Kouhkan Now

The Islamic Republic of Iran stands poised to unleash yet another atrocity, dangling the life of Goli Kouhkan — a 25-year-old Baluch warrior forged in the fires of child marriage and unrelenting abuse — from the gallows of injustice. This regime, a fortress of oppression built on the bones of women, children, and ethnic minorities, condemns her to death for daring to strike back against her tormentor. The United Nations human rights experts roar in unison: Iran must smash this execution order to pieces, or etch another bloodstain on its tyrannical ledger. Kouhkan’s blade in 2018 ended her husband’s reign of terror, but Iran’s courts — blind to her scars, deaf to her cries — branded her a murderer under their twisted qisas (Retaliation) law. This is no justice; this is state-sanctioned slaughter.

Goli Kouhkan’s saga erupts from the depths of hellish tradition. At just 12 years old, this undocumented Baluch girl was sold like chattel into marriage with her cousin — a predator who crushed her spirit and body without mercy. By 13, she birthed a child in agony, denied even the whisper of medical aid, her illiterate mind trapped in isolation. For years, she toiled as a farm laborer under the lash of physical beatings, sexual violations, and psychological warfare. Her family? They abandoned her to the wolves, rejecting her pleas for escape. Society’s chains — discriminatory divorce laws, the threat of honor killings — locked her in tighter. Undocumented and voiceless, she navigated a labyrinth of ethnic marginalization and gender warfare, where Baluch women like her are erased from state protections, education, and basic humanity.

In 2018, the storm broke. During a brutal confrontation, Kouhkan defended herself and her child, felling her abuser. Iranian interrogators pounced, coercing a confession from her lips without a shred of legal counsel. Now, at 25, she faces the noose unless her husband’s family pockets 10 billion tomans — roughly $90,000 in blood money. She can’t pay; poverty seals her fate. This isn’t retribution; it’s a rigged auction where women’s lives are bartered to the highest bidder. UN experts thunder: “Her execution would constitute a grave violation of international human rights law.” They expose the rot: Iran’s qisas system discriminates ruthlessly based on gender and wealth, executing survivors while shielding abusers.

Kouhkan’s torment mirrors a genocide against women in Iran. Between 2010 and 2024, the regime hanged at least 241 women, 114 under qisas for homicide. The vast majority? Victims like Kouhkan, who killed husbands or partners in self-defense after enduring child marriages, forced unions, and endless violence. Iranian courts obliterate evidence of abuse, ignoring self-defense claims and patterns of terror. Domestic violence thrives unchecked – no shelters, no laws, no escape. Women fleeing face death at the family’s hands or state execution. This intersects with ethnic erasure: Baluch, Kurdish, and other minorities suffer amplified horrors, denied documentation, services, and justice. UN Rapporteur Mai Sato and her allies declare: “This is a woman who was sold into marriage as a child, brutalized for years, and then abandoned by her family and the justice system.” They condemn the regime’s failure to protect, its bias that turns survivors into criminals.

The experts — Reem Alsalem on violence against women, Tomoya Obokata on slavery, and the Working Group on discrimination against women and girls — hammer the truth: Kouhkan embodies systemic genocide. “Goli Kouhkan is a survivor of domestic violence and a victim of the justice system,” they proclaim. “Her execution would represent a profound injustice.” They’ve bombarded Iranian authorities with demands for intervention, exposing how gender, ethnicity, and poverty forge chains of doom. Child marriage isn’t a relic; it’s a weapon, stripping girls of childhood, health, and freedom. Kouhkan’s case shatters illusions: Iran’s theocracy weaponizes law to crush the vulnerable, executing those who fight back while abusers walk free.

This outrage demands global fury. The world must not whisper condolences; it must unleash a torrent of pressure. Governments, activists, human rights warriors – rise and bombard Tehran with ultimatums. Halt Kouhkan’s execution now, or stand condemned as accomplices to murder. Provide her sanctuary, compensation, and a path to rebuild. Dismantle the qisas abomination, enact ironclad protections against child marriage and domestic terror. Iran’s regime thrives on silence; shatter it with thunderous condemnation. Kouhkan’s life hangs by a thread — cut it, and the blood floods the streets of history.

But this fight surges beyond one woman. Iran’s women rise like a tidal wave, defying veils of oppression in protests that shake the mullahs’ thrones. From Mahsa Amini’s martyrdom to the underground networks smuggling hope, resistance boils. Kouhkan’s survival fuels that fire, proving no chain unbreakable. The UN’s call echoes: Spare her, comply with human rights covenants, end this barbarism. Failure? It cements Iran’s rogue status, inviting sanctions, isolation, and the wrath of free peoples.

Goli Kouhkan endures as a beacon of defiance. Her story scorches the regime’s facade, revealing a machine that devours its daughters. We declare: No more. Halt the execution. Liberate the oppressed. The revolution against this tyranny ignites today – unyielding, absolute, victorious.

Meta’s X-Rated Secret Exposed in Court

How Silicon Valley protected predators while pretending to protect children.

When people talk about protecting kids online, Silicon Valley executives usually picture themselves as the heroes. They give congressional speeches. They release glossy “safety reports.” They hold press events to show how much they care.

But according to newly unsealed testimony, the world’s biggest social media company quietly tolerated one of the evilest crimes imaginable.

Not once. Not twice. But sixteen times!

The unredacted filing from a national child-safety lawsuit reveals that Meta had a policy that allowed accounts to commit the “trafficking of humans for sex” up to sixteen violations before facing suspension.

Only the seventeenth violation triggered action.

This detail did not come from conspiracy theorists or angry parents. It came from Meta’s former head of safety and well-being, speaking under oath.

If a convenience store clerk ignored a shoplifter just once, they would be fired. Meta looked the other way over a dozen times, and only then did they consider doing something.

A system built for engagement, not safety

The testimony gets worse. The former safety leader said Instagram did not even have a clear way for users to report child sexual abuse material. Despite raising the issue repeatedly, she was told it would be too much work to fix and to review reports.

Too much work to stop child predators?
Never too much work to push through paperwork?

And that is the heart of the story. Whenever Meta studied ways to make teens safer, the company repeatedly abandoned the reforms if they hurt engagement numbers.

When you boil it down, the company protected the addictive machinery, not the children caught inside it.

A child-safety crisis created in Silicon Valley

These revelations were revealed in a sweeping lawsuit filed by school districts, attorneys general, and parents who say Big Tech is fueling a youth mental-health crisis by designing platforms that are dangerous by nature.

Meta’s response has been predictable. Their spokesperson called the allegations “misleading” and insisted the company has made “real changes.”

If the testimony is accurate, the “real changes” came far too late, only after the public began asking questions that lawmakers should have asked ten years earlier.

Families have been told again and again that Meta is on their side. They were told the company was working to protect teens, block predators, and reduce harmful content.

Yet behind the curtain, executives were protecting engagement metrics, image filters, and corporate profits.

Children were left unprotected.

Human trafficking was given sixteen warnings.

And Silicon Valley kept cashing in.

Democrats’ Epstein Gamble Backfires as New Document Release Expose Their Own Ties

For years, Democrats and their allies in the corporate media have seized on every opportunity to embarrass, undermine, or politically wound President Donald J. Trump. From the Russia collusion hoax — a narrative that collapsed under scrutiny — to the endless stream of negative coverage, the liberal media establishment has never hidden its bitterness over Trump’s resilience and historic comeback.

Now, they appear ready to weaponize the Jeffrey Epstein case in the same way they used the Russia narrative during Trump’s first term. For months, Democrats were agitating for the release of the remaining Epstein files, convinced that doing so would deliver a blow to Trump. The media echoed this drumbeat, framing the release as yet another opportunity to tarnish his image.

But the tables have turned.

With President Trump committed to full transparency — and with both the House and Senate having approved the release of the documents — the political winds have shifted dramatically. The emerging evidence suggests that Democrats may be far more entangled in the Epstein sphere than they expected. If there were anything in those files that could incriminate Trump, President Joe Biden’s Justice Department would have weaponized it long ago, especially during the peak of the election season when Democrats were desperate to boost Vice President Kamala Harris.

Instead, what we are seeing is deeply uncomfortable for the left.

Newly released documents reveal that during Michael Cohen’s February 2019 House Oversight testimony, Democrat Del. Stacey Plaskett exchanged messages with Epstein before, during, and after her questioning. Epstein coached her on what to ask — even instructing her to focus on Trump’s longtime assistant, Rhona Graff. When she finished, he texted back: “Good work.”

This alone should alarm anyone concerned about foreign influence, undue pressure, or shadowy connections in congressional proceedings.

Additionally, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is now facing scrutiny after a 2013 email surfaced in which Jeffrey Epstein was invited to a Democratic dinner — raising questions about whether Jeffries sought political or financial support from Epstein.

These revelations undercut the narrative that Democrats tried to build. Instead of harming Trump, the truth appears to be swinging the spotlight squarely back onto the Democratic establishment.

The fear inside Democratic circles is obvious. They set out to weaponize the Epstein case against Trump, but now the blowback threatens to engulf their own ranks. If this political gamble ultimately exposes hypocrisy, hidden alliances, and quiet favors, Democrats may come to regret ever turning this into a Trump-centered spectacle.

And when all is said and done, I firmly believe President Trump should consider legal action against news networks and individuals who recklessly labeled him a “pedophile” in an attempt to smear his character. Free speech does not cover deliberate defamation. Actions must have consequences.

In the end, the truth is catching up — and it is not falling on Trump.

Congress Votes to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Heads to Trump’s desk. Get the popcorn, the Dems are going down.

Senate unanimously agrees to send bill demanding Epstein file release to Trump’s desk.

Resolution passed both chambers with unanimous support, heads to Trump’s desk.

Trump: “I have nothing to do with Epstein. I threw him out of my club many years ago because I thought he was a sick pervert. I turned out to be right. I have a list of democrats who received money from Epstein. I’ve received NONE. The license should be REVOKED from ABC.” 🔥

Trump: “Now I just got a little report, and I put it in my pocket, of all the money that [Epstein] has given to Democrats. He gave me none… and people are wise to your hoax, and ABC — your company, your crappy company — is one of the perpetrators.”

And the dirty Dems knew – at the time – to cover their dirty deeds. Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey would purposely misspell names in his communications to prevent you from uncovering them in FOIA requests? Dr. Fauci did it too. Time for Congress to stop the practice.

Senate unanimously agrees to send bill demanding Epstein file release to Trump’s desk

Resolution passed both chambers with unanimous support, heads to Trump’s desk

Trump threatens to pull ABC’s license after clash with reporter over Epstein files
President Donald Trump sparred with an ABC News reporter who pressed him about the Jeffrey Epstein files during his meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House.

No Senate Republicans blocked an attempt to force a vote on a resolution that would compel the release of documents and files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., made good on his vow to force a vote on the resolution just hours after it passed through the House behind a near unanimous wave of support.

Schumer argued on the floor that the Senate “should pass this bill as soon as possible, as written and without a hint of delay.”

Now, as soon as the House transfers the bill to the Senate, it will go straight to President Donald Trump’s desk for his signature.

The resolution from Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., would require that the Department of Justice (DOJ) release all unclassified records, documents, communications and investigative materials “publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format” related to the late financier and convicted pedophile and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell within 30 days of the bill being signed into law.

The Epstein fervor has not had nearly the impact in the Senate as the House, which was thrust into chaos by the bipartisan push to see the release of the files. Earlier this year, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., put the House into recess to quell the Epstein drama and has since been accused of running from a vote on the issue.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said that Republicans were already mulling the bill through the hotline process, which is where legislation is considered among lawmakers before making it to the floor. Thune said the plan, if the bill clears the hotline, would be to have it on the floor before lawmakers leave for Thanksgiving recess at the end of this week.

“We’ll see what the Democrats have to say,” he said. “But it’s the kind of thing, probably, that could perhaps move by unanimous consent.”

That ended up not being necessary, with bill making its way through the upper chamber without a full vote.

The calculus surrounding the Epstein bill changed in the Senate, too, given that President Donald Trump, who for months railed against attempts to release the files, threw his support behind Massie and Khanna’s legislation over the weekend.

He charged that it was a “Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party.”

Modern-Day Slavery in Collier County, Florida

United States Court — Middle District of Florida

Unskilled farm labor jobs attract immigrants who are easily exploited. Many don’t know their rights or may fear calling authorities if they’re here illegally. Since 1997, the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division(link is external) has prosecuted several labor servitude cases in Florida, prompting one federal official to label the state “ground zero for modern slavery.”

The Tecum Case

For years, Jose Tecum stalked a girl in her Guatemalan village. In the summer of 1999, he kidnapped her.

Tecum used witchcraft, or brujeria, native to their culture to ensure that she never left his side. The girl believed she and her family would be hurt if she didn’t live with him. He raped her, locking the girl inside his house. With no police in her village, the girl had no place to get help.

Soon after, Tecum smuggled the girl to Immokalee to live with him and his wife, Maria, and their three children, to do domestic chores in the couple’s home. He destroyed her identification papers.

Tecum told the girl she would have to work in farm labor and in his home for a year to pay off the smuggling debt, demanding the girl sign over her paychecks to him. Tecum forced her to have sex with him when his wife was not at home.

In November 1999, Maria Tecum returned to find her husband with the girl in the bedroom. Maria confronted Jose and he pushed and grabbed his wife. Their domestic dispute brought authorities to the couple’s home. Jose Tecum was arrested on a battery charge and booked into the Collier jail.

The next morning the deputy went to check on Maria Tecum. There she noticed the girl Maria Tecum had found with her husband the night before. The teenager told the deputy she felt like a slave. She said:

“I don’t even have money to buy a Coca-Cola because he takes my money.”

The deputy pieced together the girl’s story and convinced her she was free to leave the Tecum home. The young woman left with a single plastic grocery bag holding all of her belongings.

A federal jury convicted Tecum of kidnapping, slavery, immigration violations, and fraud and misuse of visas.

Tecum was sentenced to nine years in federal prison.

Douglas Molloy

Assistant United States District Attorney

As an assistant United States attorney with the United States Department of Justice(link is external), Douglas Molloy prosecuted the case against Jose Tecum and continues to prosecute many others involved in human trafficking in Florida.

“One of the most compelling things that occurred during the trial had to do with information the victim divulged to the victim advocate. After he raped her, the defendant cut off a lock of her hair, telling the girl, ‘Now, I own your soul.’

The terrified victim said the defendant kept that lock of hair on him always to remind her she was his slave. When the prosecution team learned of this information, we thought: if he had it with him always, he must have had it when he was arrested, and went back to the booking sheet that listed the items taken from the defendant upon arrest.

Sure enough, one of the items listed was a plastic envelope with a lock of hair. This evidence was presented to the jury as more proof the victim was telling the truth, and the defendant found it very hard to explain his witchcraft on cross-examination.”

“Many Americans do not know that slavery still exists in their country, but as more and more people become aware, the chances a person involved in the trafficking of humans will be caught and prosecuted will be increased, and the victims of slavery will be empowered and able to have their lives and souls back.”

Why Here?

Greed and the high demand for unskilled laborers feed the spread of human trafficking in Collier County. Wealthy residents and unscrupulous hotel, spa, and restaurant owners cut expenses with indentured servants. Farm workers are often smuggled illegally in this country with the promise of good-paying jobs and are scared to report abuse. The victims are often invisible. Trafficking victims could be changing sheets at beach hotels, filling restaurant orders, or picking tomatoes.

1,300 Years of Forgotten Black Genocide of the Arab Islamic Slave Trade

For thirteen bloody centuries, from the 7th to the 20th century, the Arab Islamic slave trade ripped more than 17 million Africans from their homes, marched them across burning deserts and stormy seas, and sold them into a hell that makes the Atlantic trade look like a footnote. This was no mere commerce. This was systematic racial extermination dressed in religious robes. The Arabs didn’t just want labor. They wanted Africans erased: men castrated, women turned into disposable sex slaves, children bred out of existence. And today the woke mob screams about 1619 while deliberately burying this mountain of black corpses under a pile of silence. That silence is complicity. That silence is racist.

The numbers crush every lie the grievance industry peddles. Seventeen million captured. Eighty percent died on the way: thirst, exhaustion, disease, or a casual bullet to the head when they slowed the caravan. Of the survivors, almost every single male was castrated. No anesthesia. Hot iron or crude knife. Infection finished what the blade started. The survival rate was maybe one in ten. That means for every eunuch who reached the markets of Baghdad, Cairo, or Zanzibar, nine boys bled to death in the sand. The Arabs perfected genocide through mutilation. They didn’t want a black population reproducing in their lands. They wanted black blood extinguished.

The women fared no better. They were raped on arrival, raped every night, raped until they broke. Concubines for the harems, field slaves, domestic animals. Their children, if the master acknowledged them at all, were born into slavery and usually sold off the moment they could walk. This wasn’t incidental cruelty. This was policy. Islamic texts and legal rulings spelled it out: the slave owner owns every inch of the slave’s body, every minute of her life, every child she carries. The Arab world built its wealth and its pleasure palaces on black wombs and black backs.

And the trade was massive, relentless, state-sponsored. Caliphs, sultans, and emirs ran it like a national industry. The Swahili coast, the Red Sea ports, the Sahara routes: all arteries pumping African flesh into the Islamic heartland. Zanzibar’s slave market was a slaughterhouse where human beings were inspected like cattle, teeth checked, genitals examined, price set by how many rapes the girl could endure or how long the castrated boy would live. Tippu, the most famous slaver, was a devout Muslim hero to his people and a sadistic warlord who depopulated entire regions of Congo for ivory and slaves. His caravans left trails of bones across Central Africa.

Thirteen centuries. Not four hundred years. Not a “mistake” by a few bad apples. This was the beating heart of Islamic empire from Medina to Morocco, from the Umayyads to the Ottomans. The same Ottoman Empire that leftist professors love to romanticize as “tolerant” was still castrating African boys and stocking its harems with African girls right up to the 20th century. The Crimean Khanate, Muslim vassals of the Ottomans, raided Ukraine and Russia for white slaves, sure, but the real money, the real volume, the real horror was always black Africa.

Yet walk onto any American campus today and try mentioning this. Watch the eyes glaze over. Watch the mob rush to change the subject back to Thomas Jefferson’s sins. The same people who claim to speak for black lives will spit in your face if you bring up the longest, deadliest, most sadistic slave trade in human history, because the perpetrators were not white Christians. That’s the only sin that matters to them. White Christian sin. Every other genocide, every other atrocity gets a shrug as long as the killers prayed to Allah five times a day.

That is racist. Full stop. Treating black suffering as valuable only when a white man causes it is the most condescending, paternalistic, anti-black attitude imaginable. It says black lives matter only as a stick to beat white people with. The millions of Africans who were castrated, raped, and worked to death by Arab masters apparently don’t count. Their blood is cheap because it doesn’t serve the narrative.

The woke cult doesn’t ignore the Arab slave trade because it’s obscure. They ignore it because it explodes their entire worldview. It proves that evil is not the exclusive property of Europeans. It proves that slavery was not invented in Virginia. It proves that Islamic civilization, the one they keep insisting is a paragon of tolerance and science, spent thirteen centuries committing racial annihilation on a scale that dwarfs anything the West ever did.

Until we drag this genocide into the light, scream its name from every rooftop, and force the cowards to look at the mountain of skulls they’ve spent decades hiding, there can be no honest conversation about slavery, about racism, or about who owes whom reparation. The debt is not just to the descendants of the Atlantic trade. The debt is to the forgotten millions whose names were never recorded, whose bodies were thrown into unmarked graves across three continents, whose blood cries out for justice the woke mob refuses to hear.

Seventeen million. Castrated. Raped. Erased.

Say their names. Or shut up forever about slavery.

Dangerous Barrio 18 Gang Members Escape in Guatemala — Threaten U.S. Security

US Embassy Guatemala

The escape of terrorists from the Barrio 18 prison is completely unacceptable.

On September 23, the U.S. designated members of this heinous group as the terrorists they are and will hold accountable anyone who has provided, provides, or decides to provide material support to these fugitives or other gang members.

The Government of Guatemala must act immediately and decisively to recapture these terrorists, who pose a threat both to Guatemala and to the security of U.S. territory.

All those involved in these escapes must be fully held accountable.


There is no way to escape the scandal of the leak

Calls for the resignation or dismissal of the Minister of the Interior are growing. His continued presence will lead to even more difficult-to-avoid attrition.

Prensa Libre Editorial

Placing his office at the disposal of President Bernardo Arévalo was the first thing Minister of the Interior Francisco Jiménez should have done after the confirmation of the incredible, absurd, and intolerable escape of 20 Barrio 18 gang members from Fraijanes 2 prison. The aggravating factors remain unclear: the escape occurred during a still undetermined period of time, with a modus operandi that is still unclear, and with feared—but long suspected—prison complicity that has yet to be identified. The minister had the civil courage to come forward and address the biggest scandal in his ministry. He attempted to assuage the outrage by announcing an obvious recapture plan. But it’s not enough.

It’s not enough, especially after 21 months of publicized operations to regain prison control, of repeated announcements of prison searches and controls, of repeated incidents of the entry of prohibited items, including cell phones and internet terminals. This vicious cycle was already a cause for concern and needed to be broken in time. But it wasn’t. Furthermore, the search for fugitives is a reprocessing that consumes the state’s material and human resources that could easily be used to combat other gang members who are still at large, who continue to extort, sowing terror in neighborhoods and municipalities, and who will now hide their criminal leaders, practically freed by a corrupt system that should have been vigorously addressed from the first months of this administration.

A week ago, when many of the fugitives were already out of jail, the Interior Ministry introduced an anti-gang bill in response to the U.S.’s declaration of Barrio 18 as a terrorist group, a status it now shares with its rivals, the Salvatruchas. It was too late.

Yes, it was too late. But so was Congress, where yesterday, unofficial arguments in favor of “citizen security” were vociferously trotted out to endorse a similar initiative, submitted in 2020 and forgotten by the previous ruling party—the same party that held the majority and today claims to champion a hard line. But the ruling party and its alleged dissidents were also far behind in promoting functional criminal classifications, stricter prison conditions at all levels, and combating prison businesses run by gang members, who claim to have government “permits.” The same can be said of front businesses in neighborhoods and pirate taxis owned by gang members, who thus launder their filthy blood money. This is also what the reform to the Money Laundering Law, which these self-righteous deputies avoid discussing and approving, would serve.

This conflict of interests and double standards is seasoned with the timid criteria and agendas of other, electoralist gangs intent on starting the 2027 marathon. They drag along their own extortionate practices, herd tactics, their improper charges—such as the illicit increase approved secretly almost a year ago—and their demagogic jargon to disguise their unspeakable loyalties. Don’t think we don’t notice. Their previous actions and inactions are like grotesque tattoos.

Back in the executive branch, the presidential silence is another glaring error. Perhaps the result of a negligent communications team or a vain bet that the issue would be diffused. But it won’t be diffused. The implications are too lurid, and the risks of having 19 psychopaths hidden and plotting violent offensives are overwhelming. Calls for the resignation or dismissal of the Minister of the Interior are growing. His continued presence will lead to an even more difficult-to-avoid strain.

Political Violence Escalates as Rioters Target ICE Operations

The domestic terrorist attack at a federal immigration facility in Texas Wednesday morning has only served to highlight the rash of political violence and civil unrest targeting President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda and the officers carrying it out.

Following the deadly shooting at a Dallas U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility on Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is increasing security at detention centers nationwide, in order to mitigate the risk of further terrorist attacks and loss of life. DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to The Washington Stand, “In light of the horrific shooting that was motivated by hatred for ICE and the other unprecedented acts of violence against ICE law enforcement, including bomb threats, cars being used [as] weapons, rocks, and Molotov cocktails thrown at officers, and doxing online of officers’ families, DHS will immediately begin increasing security at ICE facilities across the country.” She added, “Our ICE officers are facing a more than 1,000% increase in assaults against them.”

McLaughlin pledged that DHS will also work to combat left-wing extremist groups like Antifa, which the president formally designated as a domestic terrorist organization this week. “Antifa and other left-wing extremists have shot, attacked, issued death threats against, and incited riots against law enforcement. Enough is enough: if you lay a hand on our federal law enforcement officers, you will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” McLaughlin said. “Antifa and their friends haven’t stopped us. They’re not even slowing us down,” she added. “Despite the 1,000% increase in assaults against them, our brave men and women in federal law enforcement are still on the ground, fighting every single day to uphold the rule of law and keep Americans safe from violent extremists and criminal illegal aliens alike.”

ICE currently operates 25 field offices specializing in enforcement and removal operations (EROs) and has a network of over 200 detention centers, including local jails, private prisons, and dedicated ICE facilities. Neither DHS nor ICE shared with The Washington Stand what increased security measures may look like nor how the agencies intend to combat Antifa and other left-wing rioters.

According to authorities, the shooter who targeted the Dallas ICE facility this week intended to kill ICE agents, although he accidentally shot and killed one detained immigrant and injured two others. Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy Larson reported that Joshua Jahn, the 29-year-old gunman suspected of firing on the ICE facility before taking his own life, left behind notes clarifying his intention to target and kill ICE personnel. “It seems that he did not intend to kill the detainees or harm them. It’s clear from these notes that he was targeting ICE agents and ICE personnel,” she said in a press conference.

FBI Director Kash Patel shared, “One of the handwritten notes recovered read, “Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with AP [armor-piercing] rounds on that roof?’” Patel further warned that Jahn conducted a “high degree of pre-attack planning,” including using an app to track the movements and operations of ICE agents. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt faulted mainstream media outlets (namely, CNN) for promoting the ICE-tracking app. “Three months ago, CNN irresponsibly gave free publicity to an app that recklessly shares the location of ICE Agents. It has now been revealed the leftist lunatic shooter who opened fire on the Dallas ICE Facility was using one of these apps,” she wrote in a social media post. “The liberal media is complicit in the increased threats and violence against ICE.” The official X account for DHS echoed the sentiment, writing in a post, “These apps, and the media who is gleefully advertising them, represent an existential threat to our agents. It’s no different than giving a hitman the location of their intended target.”

Meanwhile, rioters are targeting ICE facilities in Chicago. ICE began conducting intensive immigration raids in and around Chicago recently, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) boats seen patrolling the Chicago River this week. In the Chicago suburb of Broadview, protestors have lined up outside an ICE detention facility and, on Friday, began rioting. As ICE agents attempted to leave the facility, activists started blocking and even physically attacking the law enforcement officers’ vehicles. Others called for ICE agents to be shot and killed, with one rioter shouting, “Shoot the f******! Shoot the f******!” Eventually, federal law enforcement agents had to fire “pepper balls” at the rioters in order to let the ICE vehicles pass and ICE agents have also begun deploying tear gas in order to disperse rioters.

Earlier this year, riots broke out in Los Angeles in response to ICE operations in the city, escalating to violent attacks on ICE agents and culminating in Trump federalizing California’s National Guard and deploying U.S. Marines to stop the rioting.

Despite agitation against interior deportation operations, the Trump administration is slated to become the first in history to achieve “operational control” of the nation’s borders. The term “operational control” was defined in the 2006 Secure Fence Act as “the prevention of all unlawful entries into the United States, including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics, and other contraband.”

Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge and the current resident fellow in law and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies, argued that the Trump administration’s stringent border security efforts may just earn Trump the distinction of being the first president to achieve “operational control” under the terms of the Secure Fence Act. “If current trends continue, FY 2025 will be the most secure year in history at the U.S.-Mexico line, and DHS will achieve complete ‘operational control’ of our borders in FY 2026,” Arthur wrote, adding, “That’s a big ‘if,’ however, because the smugglers, while quiet for now, haven’t gone away.”

Trump’s Big Reveal at the UN

If you missed President Trump’s speech at the UN this week, you have to go back and watch it. You will find the video on the White House website, and I guarantee you, you won’t be bored.

He roasted the Euros for their serial hypocrisy: claiming to support free speech while jailing citizens for politically incorrect tweets; claiming to support Ukraine while continuing to buy Russian oil and gas. He also warned them that they were destroying their countries by allowing unchecked mass migration.

He also roasted the UN, noting that not once did he get a call from anyone at the UN when he was negotiating the end to seven conflicts during the first eight months of his presidency.

But Trump’s Big Reveal has gotten little media attention, nor any response from the UN. I would like you to read this passage in full:

“Not only is the UN not solving the problems it should, too often, it’s actually creating new problems for us to solve.

The best example is the number one political issue of our time, the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It’s uncontrolled. Your countries are being ruined. The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders.

In 2024, the UN budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into the United States. Think of that, the UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States, and then we have to get them out. The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards to illegal aliens, can you believe that, on the way to infiltrate our southern border.”

Contemplate that for a moment. The United Nations was actually funding an illegal invasion of our country. And US taxpayers continue to provide 22% of the UN budget!

Not surprisingly, the UN wasn’t alone in funding this assault on American sovereignty. Our own Department of State, through the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration and USAID, separately provided $1.4 billion to the UN’s International Organization for Migration during the last year of the Biden administration to further the invasion. $1.4 billion!

After returning to Washington, the President met with Turkish president Erdogan in the Oval office.

Many commentators, including me, have criticized Trump for his serial praise of the Turkish dictator. I have long argued that Turkey, under Erdogan, has not behaved as a NATO ally but an enemy state, criticisms Trump always appeared to sweep under the rug.

Erdogan came to Washington hoping that Trump would lift the sanctions imposed in 2019 when Turkey purchased Russian S-300 air defense systems. Until then, Turkey had been a participant in the F-35 program. After the Russian purchase, the US cut them off.

But Trump didn’t mention the F-35 program in the public part of his meeting with Erdogan. Instead, he told Erdogan that Turkey had to stop buying Russia oil and natural gas and noted that Turkey was responsible for the transshipment to NATO allies in Europe of 26% of Russia’s natural gas exports.

And in what appeared to be an offhand comment, Trump joked with reporters that Erdogan “knows about rigged elections better than anybody.” Ouch!

If nothing else, Trump’s treatment of Erdogan, much as his treatment of European leaders, has shown that he is indeed a transactional president. He wants results, and he is not shy of naming and shaming those who stand in the way.

I discuss this, as well as Trump’s statement that Ukraine is now in a position to win back all of the territories seized by Russia, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s summons to the entire general officer corps, in this week’s Prophecy Today Weekend.

As always, you can listen live at 1 PM on Saturday on 104.9 FM or 550 AM in the Jacksonville, Florida area, or by using the Jacksonville Way Radio app. You can listen to podcast later here.

Yours in freedom.

Meta’s Broken Promises: Children Pay the Price

Maya was only 12 years old when she first started receiving direct messages on Instagram from a “nice” man she didn’t know. This man was 28 years old – over twice her age. A seemingly harmless virtual connection for Maya quickly led to the darkest moments of her life. The 12-year-old girl was groomed, sex trafficked, and raped repeatedly for months, all under the control of this man.

Even worse? Maya is only one of countless other children experiencing this nightmare on Instagram and other Meta platforms.

And the nightmare continues. Meta has been consistently informed of the rampant child sex trafficking, such as what happened to Maya, taking place on its platform. Yet they’re standing by idly, holding the door open for child predators.

Meta is Not True to its Word

Meta owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Messenger, and WhatsApp, making it the most influential Big Tech company there is. With this massive power comes big responsibilities. However, Meta is not living up to the responsibilities they claim to uphold, and their actions are simply not lining up with the promises they make when it comes to protecting against the harms of sexual exploitation.

So, what does Meta promise to do in order to protect children from online predators? How are they breaking those promises and what is the reality of what’s actually happening on our children’s phones?

The following outlines five of the many promises Meta has made and how its actions, or lack thereof, have led to countless stories like Maya’s.

5 of Meta’s Broken Promises 

Promise #1 – “Meta will work to ensure that no more parents would have to endure the kind of loss that [you] and others live with.” 

This was a statement Mark Zuckerberg made before an audience of parents whose children had lost their lives due to the harms they encountered on social media. But since making this promise, Meta has not only failed to prevent further harm, they have ramped up the harms and made them worse.

In a recent Senate Judiciary Hearing, Meta whistleblower Cayce Savage said:

“Meta has promised it would change. I’m here to tell you today that Meta has changed, but for the worse. Meta has spent the time and money it could have spent making its products safer [on] shielding itself instead. All the while developing emerging technologies which pose even greater risk to children than Instagram.”

Savage and another Meta whistleblower, Jason Sattizhan, went on to explain how Meta suppressed, altered, and even destroyed research that showed just how harmful their products were to children. They also explained how Meta’s new VR technologies have served to increase the harms caused to children, manyfold.

Savage’s claims that Meta chooses to invest money in shielding itself, instead of making its products safer, are further substantiated by how much money Meta spends on political lobbying. In the last three years, Meta and Google spent nearly $90 million in lobbying, especially to stop the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), a bill that creates accountability for tech platforms to keep children safe online.

Mary Rodee, a mother whose son died by suicide after sexual extortion on Facebook said, “If KOSA were law, it would have saved my son’s life.” Meta falsely promises parents they care about their children, all while investing millions in stalling child safety bills.


ACTION: Call on Congress to Pass KOSA!


Promise #2 – “We work to find, remove, and report child sexual abuse material and disrupt the networks of criminals behind it.”

moderator at Meta reported that “on one post I reviewed, there was a picture of this girl that looked about 12, wearing the smallest lingerie you could imagine. It listed prices for different [sexual acts]. It was obvious it was trafficking.” This moderator’s supervisor later told her no further action had been taken in this case. 

In another case, New Mexico investigators created a fake FB account of a 13-year-old girl named Issa Bee. One of Issa’s Facebook friends added her to a group chat, “providing pornographic videos and naked photos of underage girls.” Issa reported this group to Facebook multiple times, yet it remained active. After Issa’s last report, Facebook simply instructed Issa to leave the group.

Promise #3 – “At Meta, child protection is always a top priority.”

In 2020, an employee at Meta asked colleagues in an internal chat what the company was doing to address child grooming. Another employee responded“Somewhere between zero and negligible. Child safety is an explicit non-goal this half.” 

Examples have already been given of Meta’s blatant failure to prioritize child protection. Another chilling example was when it was revealed that Meta was internally aware that the People You May Know (PYMK) algorithm “contributed up to 75% of all inappropriate adult-minor contact.” Meta is claiming child protection is their top priority, yet they won’t even implement a safety feature as simple as turning off PYMK between adults and children.

Promise #4 – “We’re committed to making Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Threads safe places.” 

In 2023, Meta began rolling out end to end encryption on its platforms. They did this despite being warned that this would virtually nullify their ability to detect child sexual abuse material (CSAM), leading to 92% of CSAM reports from Facebook and 85% from Instagram being lost.

In 2023, a Meta child safety expert strongly advised against moving forward with end-to-end encryption on youth accounts due to the increased protection it would give child predators.  He was quickly removed from his role and Meta proceeded with implementation.

With end-to-end encryption in place on youth accounts, evidence of child exploitation has become inaccessible to law enforcement. Does this sound like Meta is working to make its platforms safe places?

Promise #5 – “We invest in the best tools and expert teams to detect and respond to suspicious activity.” 

UC Berkeley professor Hany Farid partnered with Microsoft to invent PhotoDNA, the technology Meta still uses today to identify harmful content like child sexual abuse material. But in 2023, Farid said that Meta could be doing much more to invest in better safety tools, such as technology that “flag suspicious words and phrases on unencrypted parts of the platform – including coded language around grooming.” Farid said Meta’s failure to combat sexual exploitation on its platform “is, fundamentally, not a technological problem, but one of corporate priorities.”

Additionally, when interviewed, former Meta moderators revealed their negligent protocols for identifying child sexual abuse material:

“If a human trafficker is using a codeword for selling girls, we didn’t get into that. We didn’t really get trained on those. You don’t even give it a second thought or even dig into that kind of stuff at all.

In 2024, a serious case of child sexual abuse on Facebook was discovered not by Meta moderators, but by Kik Messenger, another social media platform. If other social media companies are finding child abuse content on Meta’s platforms, Meta’s tools and protocols on detecting child sexual exploitation are clearly not even up to industry standard, let alone the best in the industry as claimed.

What’s the Takeaway? 

Meta’s promises don’t line up with their actions. And who’s paying the price for their irresponsibility? Maya. Your friends. Your neighbors. Your children.

Meta’s business model of profit over child safety is an affront to human dignity. As a former Facebook employee turned whistleblower, Frances Haugen, said“If the platforms actually wanted to keep these kids safe, they could.”

Meta must be held accountable for the harms it inflicts on children and be required to make its platforms safe for children. However, because of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, Meta has been allowed to ignore blatant sex trafficking.

The courts have interpreted Section 230 as providing blanket immunity for Big Tech so they cannot be sued for facilitating rampant sexual abuse and exploitation. These tech corporations, such as Meta, have no incentive to make their products safer until Section 230 is repealed.


ACTION: Call on Congress to Repeal Section 230! 

TAKE ACTION!

Democrats: The Party of the Sodomite, by the Sodomite and for the Sodomite

Sodomite: A person who practices sodomy is sometimes referred to as a sodomite, a pejorative term. Men engaging in anal sex with another man. Women engaging is anal sex with another woman.

Genesis 13:13: “The men of Sodom were wicked and sinners exceedingly before the Lord.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-10: “Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolators, nor the effeminate, nor those who lie with males…will inherit the kingdom of God.”

Romans 1:26-27: “For this reason God handed them over to dishonorable passions, and their women exchanged their natural use for the unnatural. And similaly the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned with desire for one another, males working impropriety on males, and receiving in themselves the pay which was proper for their wandering.”


In the New York Post column Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson lived with transgender partner: source, Josh Christenson and Georgia Worrell reported: Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from male to female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday. That individual, who has yet to be publicly identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News’ Brooke Singman. According to public records, Lance Twiggs, 22, resided at the same address where Robinson lived. A relative of Twiggs confirmed to The Post Saturday that “yes, they were roommates.” Read more.

The Party of the Sodomite, by the Sodomite and for the Sodomite

The Democrat Party created the Diveristy, Equity and Inclusion policies to promote first and foremost to promote sodomy from the schoolhouse to the White House.

On January 21, 2024 in an article titled How Biden and Democrat Endorsement, Promotion and Defence of Sodomy is a Deadly Cancer in America we wrote:

Under Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. we are now in a new age of debauchery portrayed as the new normal.

On Tuesday, June 1st, 2021 Biden proudly, no pun intended, announced that nearly 14% of his 1,500 federal agency appointees identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer.

Biden stated, “We will not rest until full equality for LGBTQ+ Americans is finally achieved and codified into law.”

Here’s a short list of just seven of the key LGBTQ appointees to the Biden administration, which includes the first openly LGBTQ person and the first transgender person to hold a role requiring Senate confirmation:

  1. Rachel Levine: Assistant Secretary of Health – Levine will be the first openly transgender federal official confirmed by the Senate, pending Senate hearing. Levine is an experienced physician who oversaw opioid crisis efforts in Pennsylvania and has been at the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  2. Pete Buttigieg: Transportation Secretary –  The former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana and a 2020 Presidential nominee, Buttigieg will be the first out LGBTQ person in US history to hold a full-time Cabinet post, if confirmed by the Senate.
  3. Carlos Elizondo: White House Social Secretary – The openly-gay and military veteran Elizondo was the first LGBTQ appointee to the Biden-Harris administration back in November. Elizondo is also the first Hispanic person to hold this role.
  4. Karine Jean-Pierre: White House Press Secretary – The first out lesbian and first Black woman to serve in this role, Jean-Pierre is an experienced activist and strategist. She is also among four women of color filling the seven top communications jobs in the White House.
  5. Pili Tobar: White House Communications Director – Out lesbian and former Communications Director of the Biden campaign, Tobar will be working alongside Karine Jean-Pierre in the new administration’s all-women Communications team.
  6. Stuart Delery: White House Counsel – Delery, who served in the Obama administration and argued cases challenging the anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act, is the most senior openly LGBTQ official in the US Justice Department’s history.
  7. Gautam Raghavan: Director of the Presidential Personnel Office – Since this announcement we have seem the LGBYQ+ sodomites empowered beyond even Biden’s dream of a queer America. But not in a good and healthy way.

Many have posted pictures of Biden caressing young girls at public gatherings, his own son Hunter has pictures on his, now verified by the FBI as authentic, laptop of him having sex with underaged girls.

The Bottom Line

We have sodomites at the highest levels of our government pushing sodomy upon our children. These sodomites are grooming children to become their partners in an incestuous and debauched relationship. These sodomites are pederasts who want to destroy our social values, laws and traditions.

The enemies of the sodomites are real men, real women, traditional families and those who believe in a Judeo-Christian God.

In 1961, W. Cleon Skousen, former FBI agent and author of international bestseller “The 5,000 Year Leap”, released “The Naked Communist” which detailed the 45 specific goals necessary to undermine our Constitutional Republic and replace our Judeo-Christian heritage with a godless Marxism.

Watch this shocking exposé, the stunning accuracy of Skousen’s predictions, and what we are now facing from the schoolhouse to the White House.

The goal used by Biden and the sodomites is #21.

Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures. You can add to this social media sites pushing pornography like TikTok.

My Greatest and Most Profound Mistake: Not Seeing the Existential Danger of the ‘Red-Green-Rainbow Alliance’

This is a preplanned and well executed Biden/Democrats/Media cabal agenda dedicated to “sodomizing our very nation.” 

My fellow Americans, we must save our children from these sodomites by draining the swamp from the schoolhouse to the White House.

PART SIX: LGBT Goes Where the Children Are

This is Part 6 of a 7-part series introducing Stolen Rainbow: The Great Unmasking — a powerful new film exposing how the LGBT movement hijacked God’s covenant symbol and turned it into a political weapon. See Part 1235.

RSVP today. A complimentary lunch is included!


If you really want to know what the LGBT movement is after — watch where it goes.

It doesn’t just march through the streets.
It doesn’t just climb the steps of Congress.
It doesn’t just plaster flags across cereal boxes and cartoon shows.

No — it goes where the children are.

  • Church youth ministries
  • Scouting organizations
  • Christian schools and libraries
  • Nurseries, classrooms, pulpits — even Sunday School Bibles

Because deep down, the goal isn’t tolerance. It’s indoctrination.

It’s not about “rights.” It’s about rewiring the next generation — morally, spiritually, sexually.

And they’re not hiding it anymore.


“We’re Coming for Your Children” — Their Words, Not Ours

In July 2021, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus released a music video online.

The title?

“We’re Coming for Your Children.”

It was meant to sound satirical. But the lyrics made it clear they weren’t joking:

“You think that we’ll corrupt your kids if our agenda goes unchecked?
Funny — just this once, you’re correct.”

“We’ll convert your children — happens bit by bit, quietly and subtly — and you will barely notice it.”

Let that sink in.

They’re not denying it. They’re bragging about it.

And if you think this was just one fringe choir’s performance, think again.

It was the quiet part said out loud — the musical version of what has already happened across America’s institutions.


The Fall of the Boy Scouts

Once upon a time, the Boy Scouts of America stood for honor, courage, and moral integrity.

Today, they stand as a cautionary tale.

In 2013, under intense pressure from the LGBT lobby and corporate donors, the Scouts lifted their ban on openly gay members.

In 2015, they dropped their ban on gay adult leaders — ignoring the long-documented link between homosexual abuse and male youth mentorship.

What happened next?

Tens of thousands of child sexual abuse claims came pouring in.

By 2020, the Boy Scouts of America was forced into bankruptcy, agreeing to a $850 million settlement — the largest of its kind in U.S. history.

The once-venerable institution is now a shell of its former self.

It was infiltrated.
It was broken.

It was even forced to change its name to Scouting America earlier this year in a desperate attempt to reboot its image.
All was discarded. All for the sake of “inclusion.”


Targeting the Church from the Inside

The LGBT movement doesn’t just target secular institutions.
It also infiltrates the Church.

From drag queen pastors to pride parades inside sanctuaries, the goal is not just acceptance — it’s submission.

And it’s working.

Mainline denominations now fly rainbow flags from their pulpits.
Some have “reimagined” Jesus as gay or gender-fluid.
Others have rewritten Scripture to make homosexuality not just acceptable, but sacred.

In 2019, a shocking exposé by French sociologist Frédéric Martel claimed that 80% of Vatican priests are homosexual.

And in the U.S.?

As of 2019, nearly 1,700 active homosexual priests continued to serve in churches, schools, and youth ministries — many in close proximity to children.

The Catholic Church alone has paid nearly $4 billion in settlements related to child sex abuse, much of it linked to predatory homosexual clergy.

This isn’t accidental.
It’s not random.

It’s strategic infiltration — with the goal of silencing moral opposition from the inside.


Scripture Under Siege

You can remove a rainbow from a flagpole.

You can clean out a corrupt scout troop.

But what happens when the movement gets into the Word of God itself?

That’s the ultimate battleground.

Today, Christian bookstores sell “gender-affirming” children’s Bibles.
Liberal seminaries promote “queer theology” as a valid lens for interpreting Scripture.
Pastors are told to stop quoting Romans 1, 1 Corinthians 6, or Genesis 19 — lest they be labeled “hateful.”

Some churches now proudly recite this twisted motto:

“Love is love. God is love. Therefore, all love is holy.”

But here’s the truth:

Not all love is holy.
Some love is rebellion.
Some love is sin.
And when the Church forgets that, it ceases to be the Church.


They Know Children Are the Prize

If you want to reshape a culture, you don’t argue with the adults.

You go after the kids.

You capture their language.
You redefine their heroes.
You plant doubt about their parents, their pastors, their biology — and their Bibles.

And that’s exactly what the LGBT movement has done.

  • Gay-themed baby clothes? Available.
  • Rainbow flags in kindergarten classrooms? Commonplace.
  • Drag queen story hours for toddlers? Celebrated.
  • Sexually explicit “queer-friendly” books in school libraries? Defended.
  • Teachers pledging allegiance to the rainbow flag instead of the American flag? Filmed, posted, and applauded.

It’s not subtle.
It’s not accidental.
It’s not compassionate.

It’s predatory.


It’s Time for the Church to Stop Pretending

The rainbow isn’t just waving from rooftops anymore.
It’s sneaking through back doors — into the nursery, the sanctuary, and the seminary.

We must call it what it is: a demonic deception aimed at children and designed to dismantle the Church.

And we must protect those who cannot protect themselves.

This isn’t optional.
It’s biblical.

“Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” — Psalm 82:4
