A Few Very Recent Examples of Soviet Level Western Media Propaganda and Active Measures

1. While RFK Jr struggles to get rid of the astonishing grip big pharma has on the entire set of regulatory bodies of the American medical system, Canada is insulting itself with narratives and dialectics on the issue.

Ottawa Citizen: Experts fear upheaval in the U.S. could fuel vaccine distrust in Canada

Health and immunization experts are reassuring Canadians that vaccine guidance is independent and based on scientific rigor in Canada after all 17 members of the committee that provides vaccine guidance in the United States were abruptly purged this week.

Article content

U.S. Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. dismissed all members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), long considered the gold standard of vaccine guidance. Kennedy said the move would restore trust in the medical establishment and vaccines.

In other words, although the US is trying to parse the actual beneficial medications and immunization products from a growing list of untested and often dangerous bunch of injections causing a mass health crisis in the US, Canadians should rest content that they should never feel a need to question the state, the medications, or the orders to take it.

Meanwhile, in Illinois:

Even if the mRNA shots were safe and effective, and even if these first thing after birth, taking a baby away for 10 hours and injecting it with whatever it is but claiming it’;s vitamin K, is, let’s say that calling it ultra-vires by the state is putting it too kindly. There is no excuse for a free nation to ever behave this way. At MOST the state should act as an advisory body suggesting to parents what their neonate might need. But this goes way past even the coercion we saw during Covid. This is taking the baby from the parents for something as trivial as a vitamin shot!

2. I believe this is what we use to define the word, “Dilemma”.

3. These are really very typical examples of contemporary Canadian media. This isn’t even rage bait or a call to action. This is the state of Canadian media as it is. And a large percentage of people believe it. Likely due to the boiling frog method by which it was done, or because people like to belong, or because people tend to elevate the state in their minds in much the same way they do entertainers who are well known. But for whatever reason, this is how a lot of people think. Enough that it makes trying to tell the truth about Iran or the Israeli-Iranian conflict as the evidence has presented itself for 30 years, very difficult.

Part of the difficulty is accepting the controlled opposition in places of tremendous influence. Like Tucker Carlson. And it pains me to say it as he was the only big-microphone during Covid who had people like Dr. Peter McCullough on and many other counter-narrative scientists concerning the vaxx and Covid narratives overall. But his opposition to any hostility towards Iran, who has been overtly fomenting genocidal and existential threats daily to Israel and equipping at least 2 major regional proxy armies, and having taken over at least 3 countries in the Middle East as puppet states. And then Tucker’s odd closeness with Alexander Dugin who may be the most capable of engineering divisiveness among the counter-revolutionaries in North America today, Tucker is worth close scrutiny at this point.

From 2021. What looks a lot like an active measure.

Tucker Carlson UFO Active Measure

Tucker, as did 60 Minutes and most legacy media also brought on ranking USAF officials to talk about aliens harassing US bases and non-US bases. This was indeed an active measure, and a narrative attack for a global scale problem which of course, requires a global solution. So while Tucker was seemingly opposing the effort to make the world submit to a global health crisis, crashing all individual and national sovereignty, he added several logs to the fire of a unified response to a non-existent alien invasion. Although that narrative did come in handy when the US was testing killer drones for Ukraine to use against Russia more recently. The US media was quite content to let the alien explanation fill in the void for the military drones buzzing around NJ high rises. An obvious dress-rehearsal for this:

Drones similar to ones over NJ hit Russian apartment buildings

4. actually you kinda have to admire the brazen nature of this propaganda. This is right up there with Chemical Ali, for those who remember the first Gulf War and the Iraqi propagandist who claimed the American army was no where near Baghdad and they were winning the war as US tanks drove up right behind him. Mind you, the Trans movement and a great deal of the entirety of the Western belief system is really pretty much operating on the same degree of, oh what the hell, The Orwell Scale.

I’m MAD as Hell, and I’m not going to take it Anymore!

We are witnessing the Destruction of America. Surely, you have heard the old saying, “Those that do not learn History, are doomed to repeat it”? How did we let it happen?

My answer is…it’s always the same! Did you get involved within the last 20 years? Did you say NO, Hell No, this is CRAZY!

Can anyone remember Network, 1976? Here’s a reminder!

(This is for entertainment purposes only). Network

You’ve got to get MAD!

Did you ever say…You’re not going to do that…whatever that was. If you or your family have never seen Network, I strongly recommend you watch it. Powerful messages.

Did you throw out all your common sense and just buy into the WOKE mentality because it is easier?

Do you believe:

  • There are multiple genders.
  • CO2 is poison.
  • The government knows best, and should raise your children.
  • Sexual assault on children or adults is OK
  • Kids graduating without knowledge of reading, writing or math is OK
  • Filling the country with people who hate you, and want to hurt or kill you, is great!
  • Not paying attention to bills that are passed is great!

If you want to know what our problem is and how we got here, just look in the mirror. We created the problem, we own it.

We are the only ones that can FIX THIS!

I was a child of the 60’s. I feel like I am reliving those bad old days. I remember getting up in the mornings, asking my mom, “What buildings or cities do you think will be burned down today? Where is the next riot? When is it going to stop?”

I just could not understand why this was happening. Why people wanted to burn down their own community, colleges, cities resulting in hurting civilians, and law enforcement people. It made no sense. It made no sense.

E Pluribus Unem: Order Out of Chaos

The fact is these Globalists and Communists must create Chaos, because they HATE and despise Western Civilization. They believe that if they create enough Destruction, people will scream for them to clean it up, they become heroes, and get re-elected.

Ulterior Motives

I looked to see who was President during the bulk of the 60s riots. Kennedy, King, and Kennedy were assonated. .The Viet Nam War raged. The country was on edge. Racial inequality, economic disparities and police brutality were the hot topics of the day. Lynden B. Johnson (D) was President, and cities were in financial ruin. Did the Mayors of these cities think, “If I take advantage of the Destruction, we get plenty of money to repair the damage? Did rioting represent another way out of the financial mess? Is Newsom and Bass using that motive as well?

Another problem I see is that the Government always focuses on reacting to a disasters, rather than being proactive and focusing on the root cause of the disasters, and coming up with a plan. They never think of the consequences of their actions.

Sorry, Maxine, destruction of property is not peaceful!

If the people all the way up to the top are not arrested and held to account for their actions, we will have more riots. If funding is not stopped from radical groups, there will be more riots.

If riots continue…the severity, brutality, property damage, injuries, and deaths…escalate.

Pam, the ball is in your court. So far I see nothing and get crickets.

POWER, MONEY, CONTROL is the name of the game.

Once Communists have power, they will do anything possible to keep it. Remember to them, the Ends always justify the means. Lie, Cheat, Steal who cares if you are in power. Where does that power come from. It comes from controlling the government. The House has the power of the purse (MONEY). How do you keep that power? The CENSUS. The more people the more representatives. The more representatives, the more power you have to CONTROL the flow of MONEY. Thanks to SCOTUS, the “Are you a citizen?” question is NOT on the census, so illegals can be counted. The more illegals funneled into Blue states the greater the power. Trump is deporting their power and you support his actions. Therefore, they hate Trump and they Hate you.

President Trump told us what he would do if elected. He is doing it. He did, however, give Globalists plenty of time to prepare. They have been planning this agenda for years. Do not listen to their lies! I ask them constantly, to give me an example of what they say. They never can. All they can say is Trump is a NAZI.

Anyone older than 65 knew the minute Homan said ICE raids, that rioting and devastation would result. Once nothing was done in 2020 to arrest the criminal looters, we knew riots would result. Anyone, with any knowledge of Marxist history, knows that chaos is their game plan. By ignoring their actions, we ultimately suffer the results.

The sad part is, we have allowed these Marxists to infiltrate the minds of our children. Young minds filled with HATE, become the leaders of the future.

Falling into the Abyss

Their future now has become a future of hate, self-loathing, and loneliness. The joy of love for family, G-d, and country falls into the Abyss, to be forgotten forever. The ideals that make America what it is, are forgotten. The patriotic desire to put America First has been replaced with the symbol of burning the flag.

Our children and young people’s minds are replaced by devices loaded with AI algorithms, telling them every move they are to make while watching everything they do.

We cannot allow the election of President Donald Trump to be just a speed bump in the road only used to slow us down!

We must act. You see what is going on in Congress. The same RINOS, doing the bidding of the Establishment, not the people. To them, America First…is really, America LAST. Time to get rid of these RINOS.

This weekend is the 250th Anniversary of our great military, as well as Flag Day, and President Trumps’ birthday. This weekend may also be the beginning of WWIII.

Wish President Trump a Happy Birthday. See the parade showing our great military. Pray that Americ is not pushed into another forever war.

Then, ask your family if they know what the Flag represents. Can they recite the Pledge of Allegiance? Do they know what it means, since the Pledge is no longer taught in schools? Here is a refresher:

I pledge allegiance to the flag Of the United States of America

This addresses the Jurisdiction in the Constitution, you pledge to follow the laws of America and to the Republic for which it stands

America is a Republic representing self-rule, Not a Democracy, representing Government rule

One Nation

United we stand, divided we fall

Under G-d

We follow G-d laws, Globalists must eliminate any entity higher than the govt. To them the Government is G-d

Indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

undivided, where all citizens are equal in the eyes of the law, patriotism

CRASH & BURN

Don’t sit on the sidelines watching America crash and burn. Step up, and do your part. Vote in Primaries and Elections. Pay attention to local events, take action, vote out RINOs.

GET MAD!

Enjoy this weekend, and join me on americaoutloud.news

Let Truth be our weapon, for it is the only thing that counts.

Latest FBI revelations show Mueller probe hid key evidence using secret classification

A recently declassified FBI document reveals that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team used a hidden classification system to conceal documents from other investigators—raising serious questions about the integrity of the Russia collusion investigation and the transparency of the Justice Department. 

According to the FBI’s internal “Electronic Communication” (EC), dated September 2019 and declassified by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the bureau’s Sentinel case management system includes a designation called “Prohibited Access.” This setting not only restricts documents from being opened by other agents, but also makes them invisible in keyword searches—creating the illusion that no such records exist.

Mueller’s team reportedly used “Prohibited Access” to shield Trump/Russia-collusion case files, making them undetectable to other FBI agents, including those investigating whether Fusion GPS contractor Nellie Ohr lied to Congress. The EC indicates that on May 3, 2019, relevant documents about Ohr were inaccessible due to this restricted status, undermining the ability of investigators to pursue potential criminal misconduct.

This revelation has raised legal and constitutional alarms. The concealment of potentially exculpatory or impeachment evidence may violate the government’s obligations in both criminal and civil cases. It also calls into question whether Special Counsel John Durham, internal watchdogs, and congressional oversight committees received full access to the relevant information.

The EC also outlines strong evidence that Nellie Ohr—wife of former senior DOJ official Bruce Ohr—lied during her testimony to Congress about her involvement in the discredited Crossfire Hurricane investigation. It also suggests that her research may have contributed to the controversial Steele dossier and Alfa Bank allegations.

Legal experts were stunned by the existence of “Prohibited Access.” Jay Town, a former U.S. Attorney under Trump, said he had never heard of it, calling the disclosure “staggering.” While one former assistant U.S. attorney acknowledged knowing of the designation, many career DOJ and FBI officials were reportedly unaware such a system even existed.

The findings raise urgent concerns about DOJ transparency and accountability during one of the most politically sensitive investigations in modern American history.

Journalists of the World, Do Your Homework!

Christiane Amanpour is an English-Iranian news anchor and international correspondent. She compared recently ​the U.S. with North Korea. It is not only incompetence, but political illiteracy. Christiane Amanpour​ like many other world journalists, has a short memory about “a famous murderer of the 20 century”— Comrade Stalin. She hasn’t read my latest column: Ideas of Stalinism – The Basis of New Radical Democrat Party. I am a former Soviet defense attorney, who has written about Stalinism for the last 44 years. Here is a reminder for the journalists of the world:

Failed American Intelligence: North Korea, Syria, Putin, and the Obama Connection

November 15, 2024 by Simona Pipko

Many Americans were surprised by the recent Russia/North Korea Defense Pact, June 19, 2024. In fact, it wasn’t a surprise for the students of history. History is a mother of all sciences and Vladimir Putin is a devoted disciple of Comrade Stalin. Soviet history of Stalin’s era can explain the origins of the recent Russia/North Korea Pact and the ideology of Soviet Fascism. The Dem’s party was building Soviet Socialism, which I called Soviet Fascism in Biden’s America; you just don’t recognize it yet. Please, read my column, written on August 20, 2017.

The tension rises overseas; Syria and North Korea dominate the world media with a wide variety of discussions, stories, and predictions in April 2017. Yet, nobody connects these two countries ideologically. Alas, as usual, the media has forgotten Stalin’s era of building Socialism. As a matter of fact, Stalin’s long-range strategy included building Socialism world-wide and creating a One World Government under the Kremlin rule. Stalin planned to be a President of the World, his actions proved and confirmed his intent. Do you remember the First Communist International and the second one? Both were established in the 20th Century. As General Secretary of the Communist Party of the USSR, Stalin was its leader.

Don’t be confused by the fraudulent term Communism/Socialism. Carefully crafted Stalin’s political correctness has been working since the Socialist Revolution of 1917 in Russia to manipulate the human mind. Pay attention to the history and the facts of life. The expansion of Soviet Socialism started immediately after the revolution: Mongolia, China, North Korea, and so on. Both North Korea and Syria are Stalin’s states built on Stalin’s Doctrine of One World Government under the Kremlin’s rule, to dominate the world…

Stalin’s North Korea

Let me give you a part of a lecture I presented at New York University in 1990. We were discussing the book Red Cocaine: The Drugging of America, by Joseph D. Douglass, Jr. Clarion House, 1990. The book was stunning to me. The author knew well the machinery of the Soviet government and its modus operandi. He used the murky time in Russia after the fall of the Berlin Wall and temporary openness in Russia; he visited the KGB archives, copying precious documents.  The book is a pearl of a documentary and should be read by all decent people in the world. That exact reading I recommended to my students. Here is a part of the lecture presented in 1990.

“Reading the book, you’ll learn about the so-called ‘medical facilities’ in North Korea. For that reason, I want to bring you to another part of the world and take the subject of the KGB even further back in time. Let me give you some examples. In 1945, World War II had ended, but not for Stalin. He had in mind his Second Front—Asia. He viewed it as a strategic region of paramount importance.

​“At that time, defeating Japan had left a political vacuum in North Korea, and Stalin used it. A Korean Army was formed, trained, equipped to the teeth with Soviet arms, and supervised by KGB men sent to implement Stalin’s formula in North Korea. Stalin personally chose its leader—a captain of the Soviet Army, Kim IL Sung. Since then, the connection between the Soviet military, the KGB and the Korean military has never ended—the Soviet General Staff had worked out the plan for aggression in 1950 and the Soviets military fully participated in the Korean War.

“After the communist victory of 1949 in China, under the slogan ‘Stalin and Mao—friendship forever,’ tens of thousands of Soviet advisors flooded China. These were Stalin’s apparatchiks and bureaucrats. All of them taught the Chinese how to build and instill the party machine and infrastructure of the Soviet system, with its institutions. Under the same slogan, hundreds of thousands of young Chinese flooded the Soviet universities. I met some of them in law school. By that time, they spoke Russian fluently. While studying, most of those students had been recruited by the KGB, and upon return to China they deepened implementation of Stalin’s model. Cultural similarities have been conducive to success.” Baltic Winds: Testimony of a Soviet Attorney, pp. 529-555, Xlibris, 2002.

​Seventy years later, you saw a massive military parade, Soviet style, a quite provocative celebration of Kim IL Sung’s birthday on April 15, 2017. The grandson Kim Jong-un presented his grandfather as “the Sun or a Son of God,” but the real history tells us that Kim IL Sung was a ‘Son of Stalinism.’ Look at twenty-five million Koreans living under the regime today—it is Stalin’s GULAG, enslaving human beings. And it is not a coincidence that the Korean missile test failed, but don’t take comfort in that. The military machine of North Korea is working non-stop like the Soviet one and the master-puppet Putin is there with full military capacity to undermine global tranquility. Rising tensions in Asia are a result of Russia’s intent to test Trump’s administration. Flying over Alaska is the same as testing Trump’s administration in the Pacific…

Unfortunately, Stalin’s Doctrine of destruction did not die with Stalin: his devoted disciples in Russia have continued its expansion across the world. The Middle East and especially Syria presents a vivid example of how Soviet Socialism has been disseminated with the Influence of Russian Intelligence. It is this force that provided all its satellites with WMD: Saddam got Sarin and Mustard Gas, Assad-Sarin. Watch WMD within ISIS and al-Qaeda… Though China definitely has power over North Korea, the Russian security apparatus still has long arms with the intent to dominate the world. Syria is another example.

Syria

If Arafat was the first molding of a Soviet style leader in the Middle East, Hafez al-Assad was indeed the second one. He participated in the 1963 Syrian coup d’état which brought the Syrian Regional Branch of the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party to power, and was appointed Commander of the Syrian Air Force by the new leadership. In 1966, Assad participated in a second coup, and was appointed defense minister by the new government. In 1970 Assad seized power and then appointed himself the undisputed leader of Syria in 1970–71. He was Prime Minister from 1970 to 1971 and President of Syria from 1971 to 2000. This amounted to thirty years of total Soviet influence in Syria under Papa Assad.

That was the usual Soviet strategy of infiltrating the Middle East. Under Bashar Assad, Syria has once again become a Soviet Arab Socialist Republic with all the consequences of Stalin’s Doctrine and his Formula for Power. By the way, Saddam Hussein came to power in Iraq the same way in 1979 as did the Ayatollahs in Iran in 1979. Don’t be surprised at the connection between ISIS and al-Qaeda—all terrorists groups regardless of their names have the same parents—Soviet Fascism. Please read my analyses of the years 1970-1980, pp. 145-161, Chapter 8, What is Happening to America? The Hidden Truth of Global Destruction, Xlibris, 2012

As a matter of fact, Syria, which is comprised of several major incompatible tribes, is a strategic center of the Mideast. It was a typical Soviet Socialist State, equipped with a huge arsenal of Soviet arms and weaponry since 1971. The city of Tartus hosts a Soviet-era naval supply and maintenance facility, under a 1971 agreement with Baathist Syria, Tartus is practically a Russian military base in Syria. The close relation between the Russian intelligence and military with Syria has been going on since. “The facility hosts the Amur (Russian) class of floating workshop PM-138, capable of providing technical maintenance to Russian warships deployed in the Mediterranean in the 21st century.”

Hence Russia has free access to the Mediterranean, which means the Middle East, North Africa and Southern Europe. You can see on a map of the area that there is also a corridor from Iran and Iraq to Lebanon, a route for shipping arms to Hamas and Hezbollah. Remember Stalin’s Doctrine worked at the time and it worked well in the Middle East as well. Moreover, Putin needed Crimea for this particular reason: to have a free avenue for the Russian fleet to the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Stalin’s design to use Islam is alive and well, you are witnessing it every day by the criminal activities of terrorism. Today Russians have several military installations in Syria. Read Socialist Lies: From Stalin to Clintons, Obamas, and SandersXlibris, 2016.

However strange it sounds; I had some experience in connection with Syria. Once, a client came to my law office, a man who had a question about his apartment in Tallinn. In talking to me he said that he was leaving in a week, as he was working in Syria. I asked him what he was doing there, he answered very calmly that he was an instructor in the Soviet Terrorist training camp in Syria. It was in the end of the 1960s or beginning of the 1970s. I wasn’t surprised; the people living in Socialist countries had known Russia’s agenda in the Middle East where constant attacks were taking place daily. Today, in 2017, you can see the long-range strategy of Soviet Socialism and the Stalin’s addiction to expansion—one of the reasons, I called the regime Soviet Fascism.

The ideology of Soviet Fascism

Stalin’s ideology has created special kinds of people, affecting them with subversive political correctness. They ignore the reality of the world and the war waged by Soviet Fascism against Western civilization during the last hundred years. But reality is very stubborn—Stalinism connects Putin, Assad, Kim Jong-un, and many others like an umbilical cord to the ideology. Those leaders know that they are criminals and that the power they amass is the only thing that will save them from prison. The unfortunate result of their existence across the world is obvious—the rise of Anti-Semitism, the genocide of Christians, unspeakable violence, orchestrated protests—the attributes of Soviet Fascism. All of those we, the former Soviet citizens, had experienced in the Soviet Union. We called it Stalinism.

Researching the ideology for the last twenty-five years, I am convinced that the globe is dealing today with Soviet Fascism, which is one of the reasons for the push to Globalization, a KGB invention. Nor has America escaped it. For the sake of our country, the term Soviet Fascism should be accepted, analyzed, and discussed. Therefore, my conclusion is two-fold: 1. Knowledge of Stalin’s Russia is a must. 2. The Investigation the Obama administration and the current activities of his shadow government is imperative. Both investigations, if successful, will have vital global ramifications…

I have to remind you my opinion about a list of military collaborations between the U.S. and Russia executed under the Obama/Putin joint venture:

  1. Killing of bin-Laden
  2. Invasion of Libya, conspiracy of Obama, Putin, and French Pres. Sarkozy.
  3. Benghazi, murder of the U.S. ambassador Stevens.
  4. “On 6 August 2011, a U.S. Boeing CH-47 Chinook military helicopter was shot down while transporting a quick reaction force attempting to reinforce an engaged unit of Army Rangers in Wardak province, west of Kabul, Afghanistan. The resulting crash killed all 38 people on board—25 American specialists … Fifteen of the Navy SEALsthat were killed were members of the Naval… “

If investigated, the listed events will open up a huge panorama of activities of the DNC leadership directed against the American Republic. My two assignments are inextricably intertwined. President Trump was right, speaking about “inherited mess.” The mess was so tremendous, he initially asserted, the “swamp” indeed was deeper and more harmful and dangerous. I dedicated many pages to this “swamp,” I called it the Obama/Putin joint venture. A chronicling of this joint venture has been presented in detail in Socialist Lies. It is a protocol and diary of the Obama’s regime from its beginning in 2008. American Intelligence failed to expose Obama and the Democrat Party for aiding Putin in many different occurrences overseas to the detriment of American interests, including the Opioid epidemic in America. My book reveals just that…

In this connection, I have to correct our media and politicians: Putin will not stop at restoring the Soviet Union—Putin wants to be a President of the World, like Stalin’s intent—hence awareness of Stalinism is imperative. Alas, America did not escape the implementation of some elements, and attributes of Soviet Fascism by Obama’s regime.  Therefore, a person like Steve Bannon, who is talking about destruction of the administrative State, and who quotes Lenin by heart is extremely valuable to the Trump team. In our days—knowledge of the enemy is the best recipe for success…

Liberal Media Is in Its Death Throes — What Will Replace It?

The slow, painful death of the liberal media is hard to watch … okay, not really. Once again, the liberal media has lost all credibility, but haven’t we been here before?

It seems the apparatus of far-left talking heads and “journalists” has a zombie-like ability. The same reporters and news operations keep suffering fatal blows to their journalistic integrity, and yet they manage to struggle on as ratings — and credibility — fade away.

Take just this week, for instance. The Washington Post gleefully published a report that Israeli soldiers fired on Gaza residents waiting to receive humanitarian aid and killed more than 30. If the story sparked your skepticism, you may have better news judgment than many D.C. reporters.

This glaring lie — and the anti-Semitism that it and other lies like it help fuel — are not even surprising from the media class that is frantically grasping at the last shreds of its credibility. Meanwhile, in a move of incredible audacity, CNN’s Jake Tapper is now promoting his new book on the cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s mental health decline. Polling shows that most Americans could see Biden’s decline with their own eyes. Collective memory and the magic of video tape shows us that Tapper helped lead the charge of that cover-up. In fact, he once lambasted Lara Trump on air for daring to question Biden’s mental fitness. Lara Trump was not the only one to receive such treatment from Tapper.

Now, Tapper is being widely mocked on X and the new crop of center-right podcasts that have gained more political influence — and usually viewership — than cable news shows.

MSNBC saw a plummet in support after President Donald Trump’s election, though they have begun to recover in ratings, if not in credibility. The network axed a handful of anchors, including the notoriously bombastic, and often racist, Joy Reid. Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has taken a slot, which is so far a major flop as ratings plummet and MSNBC scrambles for relevance.

Tapper, Reid, and Psaki are the three horsemen of the liberal cable news apocalypse and the perfect face for this downfall. Tapper represents the hollowness of established cable anchors. Tapper has been in the business for decades and fails to perform the first function of a journalist: holding the powerful accountable. Reid symbolizes the liberal anti-white racism and anti-man sexism that has spread like a cancer through the Democratic Party and helped push an entire generation of young men into the arms of Trump. Psaki symbolizes cable news’s incestuous relationship with the politicians they are supposed to hold accountable. Psaki covered up Biden’s mental decline and was rewarded with a cushy anchor slot. On these shows, there is little room for real thinkers or diversity of thought, only rightly programmed Democratic messengers.

CNN’s Abby Phillips has managed to create a show relevant to the news cycles. Clips of her show regularly go viral, but they usually involve Scott Jennings blistering some poor Democrat. Despite how it helps prop up her show, Phillips never looks overly pleased.

We know from history that communist and totalitarian regimes cannot survive long without propaganda. China has state-owned media, as do North Korea and others.

To build its secular, communist takeover of the U.S., the far Left needs a media propaganda machine (state-owned media) to repeat lies and slander opposition. During the Biden administration, that apparatus grew sizably. The White House leaned on social media companies with great success to silence dissenting views on COVID and other topics. Shadow-banning of conservative viewpoints of all kinds became commonplace on social media. Those who did not toe the line of the LGBT agenda were accused of “hate speech” with a serious tone and deplatformed or demonetized. But the apparatus came crumbling down as the lies about COVID, the vaccine, the Russia hoax, Hunter Biden’s laptop, and more were exposed.

We have a biblical paradigm for this familiar cycle. False prophets, purveyors of the lies of the age, haunt the halls of wicked kingdoms, from the Pharaoh’s magicians in Exodus to Ahab’s 400 false prophets in 1 Kings. In our time marred by evil, do not be surprised when false prophets are found in places of influence.

What does this all mean? The far Left has a problem. Over the last five years, they have seen the credibility of the most reliable propagandists gutted all while media increasingly moves online. More importantly, it means you should expect in the next decades direct attempts to censor dissent and clamp down on internet freedom. Remember, state media shuts down opposition and propagates lies. This will likely be done by weaponized terms like “hate” and “fascism” and “far-right extremism.”

For now, liberal media is on its back foot. But political battles are only won temporarily. You can be sure the liberal media and their puppet masters are scheming about how to regain their power, both through rebuilding their operation and by silencing their opponents.

A false regime can’t thrive without propaganda. Keep exposing the propagandists. Stand up for free speech and against censorship. And the rest of us have a chance to have our children grow up in a free country.

‘Absolutely Horrific’: AI-Generated Child Porn Leads Teen to Commit Suicide

As their teenage son lay in the hospital with his life oozing out of him, Eli Heacock’s parents felt their grief compounded by confusion: They had no idea why he had committed suicide.

Then they found his phone.

Messages showed their son — 16-year-old Elijah “Eli” Manning Heacock of Glasgow, Kentucky — had fallen prey to an extortioner, who convinced Eli to send photos of himself, which the predator used to generate sexually explicit images using artificial intelligence (AI).

The victim’s father, John Burnett, said Eli scrambled to collect as much of the $3,000 bribe as he could, only to hear his predator tell him, “This is not enough.”

In despair, Eli shot himself on February 27, dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the University of Louisville Hospital the next day.

The tragic death highlights the changing profile of sexual abuse and predation. Parents “no longer [have] to be scared of the white van that drives around. You have to be scared of the internet,” said Eli’s mother, Shannon Heacock.

Her son is far from the first person to lose his life to online sexual extortionists. “From October 2021 to March 2023 … sextortion involved at least 12,600 victims — primarily boys — and led to at least 20 suicides,” according to the FBI.

But even in death, Eli, who lost his unique potential so young, stood out from others: Usually, exploiters lure their victims into sending sexually explicit photos, then blackmail them into sending money or more compromising photos. Eli apparently shared less explicit images, which the predator allegedly altered using artificial intelligence — which analysts say highlights another threat of nascent AI technology.

“It’s absolutely horrific and tragic that criminals used AI-generated images to extort money out of a teenage boy, ultimately resulting in him taking his own life,” Arielle Del Turco, director of the Center for Religious Liberty at Family Research Council, told The Washington Stand. FRC previously highlighted concerns raised by AI chatbots, which appear to be human, engaging in sexually explicit dialogue with minors online — or stoking pedophiles’ fantasies by posing as sexually precocious children.

With the rise of AI-generated pornography, a victim need not send his tormentor nude or suggestive photos. Powered by AI, child exploiters do not need their victim to send them any photos at all: They can download an image from the internet or take a candid photo without the victim’s knowledge.

People from all walks of life can fall victim to AI-generated “deepfakes.” Last month, New Zealand politician Lana McClure stood on the floor of Parliament and displayed nude photographs of herself, which she said she personally created in a matter of minutes using artificial intelligence software.

Lawmakers in Heacock’s native Kentucky reacted by adopting a law, S.B. 73, which makes sextortion a felony. President Donald Trump also made tackling “revenge porn,” including images created by artificial intelligence, an early priority in his second administration.

“Congress has recently worked to mitigate these types of situations by passing the Take It Down Act,” supported by First Lady Melania Trump, which passed Congress with near-unanimous consent and signed into law by President Trump, noted Del Turco. The law makes it illegal to knowingly publish, or threaten to publish, intimate images without a person’s consent; it also requires websites to remove such images within 48 hours of a victim’s valid request and help track down any sites that have republished the material. Del Turco noted that the new law “applies to AI-generated images. Policymakers should continue to enact prudent legislation to protect people from abusive uses of AI, including sexual extortion.”

Not every level of government shares Heacock’s concerns. Global governance bodies have allowed lawmakers to exclude AI-generated porn even of the youngest children. The United Nations Convention against Cybercrime, adopted last December 31, forbids “real or simulated sexual activity” but gives nations the right to limit the prosecution of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) to material that “[d]epicts, describes or represents an existing person.” That excludes child pornography images or videos that are entirely AI-generated and not based on one specific child.

“In several sections, the new UN treaty allows countries to de-criminalize virtual child pornography in all circumstances as well as private sexting by minors, even to adults,” noted Stefano Gennarini of the Center for Family and Human Rights (C-FAM).

Americans also feel concerned some lawmakers have prioritized the explosive growth of the artificial intelligence sector at the cost of their children’s innocence, even their lives. The “One Big Beautiful Bill” which recently passed the House of Representatives contains a provision preempting states from regulating AI technology for 10 years. “I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there,” wrote Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on social media Tuesday. “We have no idea what AI will be capable of in the next 10 years and giving it free rein and tying states hands is potentially dangerous.”

The bill is now before the Senate. The AI provision has raised alarms beyond the chamber. Many grieving parents wish leaders would give them stronger tools to keep their children safe from the ever-expanding reach of predators. “We can’t afford to be behind the ball on creating policies that govern AI,” Del Turco told TWS. “The effects are too far-reaching” — a fact Eli’s mother, Shannon, knows too well.

“I don’t want another mother to ever face this, another sibling, another father to face this,” she said.

EXCLUSIVE: Harvard Commencement Speaker Worked For Org Tied To China’s Military

Harvard’s 2025 commencement speaker, “Luanna” Yurong Jiang, worked for a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) entity with extensive ties to Beijing’s military and intelligence networks, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered.

Jiang, who graduated from the Kennedy School on May 29 and appeared to take a swipe at the Trump administration during her speech, was a volunteer for the International Department of the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) prior to attending Harvard between at least 2018 and 2022, according to a DCNF translation of Chinese state media. The organization is controlled by the CCP and has signed a cooperative agreement with a Chinese military arm, according to CBCGDF announcements.

Furthermore, CBCGDF also hosts a branch of a Chinese influence and intelligence service called the United Front Work Department (UFWD), to which many of its leaders belong, including its secretary-general who reportedly wrote a recommendation letter for Jiang to Harvard, according to a DCNF translation of Chinese state media.

“Harvard is one of the world’s greatest institutions, but we will have no choice but to end its existence if it continues to allow itself to be used by those seeking the destruction of our country,” Gordon Chang, author and China expert, told the DCNF.

Harvard and CBCGDF did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment. Luanna Jiang could not be reached for comment.

‘The Fate Of Students From Abroad’

“Humanity rises and falls as one,” said Luanna Jiang, the first Chinese woman to deliver Harvard’s commencement speech. “But today, that promise of a connected world is giving way to division, fear and conflict.”

“If we still believe in a shared future let us not forget those who we label as enemies, they too are human,” Jiang continued. “In the end, we do not rise by proving each other wrong, we rise by refusing to let one another go.”

The Harvard Crimson characterized Jiang’s speech as a “full-throated defense of the importance of international diversity as the Trump administration threatens the fate of students from abroad at Harvard.”

Harvard’s suspected ties to the Chinese government have come under intense scrutiny in recent years. In December 2021, Charles Lieber, a former Harvard University chemistry professor, was convicted of crimes related to concealing his participation in a Chinese government technology transfer program from U.S. government agencies funding his research.

The House Select Committee sent a letter to Harvard on May 19 alleging it had “repeatedly hosted and trained members of a CCP paramilitary organization” implementing “the CCP’s genocide against the Uyghurs.” Citing this and other examples, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revoked Harvard’s right to host foreign students on May 22, claiming the university has been facilitating and engaging “in coordinated activity with the CCP.”

However, a federal judge has blocked the ban prohibiting Harvard from enrolling international students.

“If Harvard insists on posing a threat to America, then the Trump administration must find a way to revoke its charter. Other schools can then take over its assets and functions,” Chang said. “A revocation is constitutional in a national emergency, such as the one we are now in.”

‘Proxies For CCP Interests’

Although the website for CBCGDF claims the organization is a “nationwide nonprofit public foundation and a social legal entity dedicated to biodiversity conservation and green development,” a DCNF review of its website and announcements found that CBCGDF is actually controlled by the CCP and Chinese government agencies, and has deep ties to China’s military and intelligence networks.

CBCGDF’s website states the organization was founded in 1985 by Lu Zhengcao, who was a People’s Liberation Army (PLA) general, according to Chinese state media. Lu also served as the deputy chairman of a Chinese influence arm called the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), according to CBCGDF.

CPPCC “delegates attend a high-profile annual meeting to receive direction from the CCP regarding the ways its policies should be characterized” and “serve as proxies for CCP interests,” according to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC).

The China Association For Science And Technology (CAST), which is part of the CPPCC, and one of the two “most important” organizations involved in China’s technology transfer efforts, according to the USCC, supervises CBCGDF, its website states.

The CBCGDF organizational diagram likewise reveals the group is under the control of its internal CCP committee, which was established in April 2017, according to CBCGDF. Xie Boyang, CBCGDF’s current chairman, is a counselor committee member to China’s State Council, according to the Chinese government.

The organization also works closely with the UFWD, which is a Chinese influence and intelligence service, according to the USCC.

The 4th chairman of CBCGDF, Hu Deping, previously served as the UFWD’s deputy director before joining the group and held CPPCC and other UFWD roles while leading CBCGDF, a review of the organization’s announcements found. Hu was still active within CBCGDF until at least 2024, CBCGDF announcements show.

A roster of CBCGDF directors from 2018 lists other UFWD personnel, and the group has sent staff to attend UFWD training camps, such as in September 2023, when staff members participated in a “UFWD theoretical research class” to study CCP ideology, according to CBCGDF.

Moreover, CBCGDF also announced in May 2024 that it had established an internal branch of the All-China Federation Of Returned Overseas Chinese (ACFROC), which is a UFWD agency, according to the Department of Justice.

‘The Call Of Chairman Xi Jinping’

CBCGDF’s secretary-general, Zhou Jinfeng, wrote a recommendation letter for Luanna Jiang to attend Harvard, and has extensive ties to the Chinese government, according to Chinese government and state media reports.

Jiang volunteered with CBCGDF for at least four years, Chinese state media reported, and went with the group to participate in the London High-Level Meeting on Combating Illicit Wildlife Trade in October 2018. During the event, CBCGDF stated it wished to protect pangolins, according to the British government. The nonprofit’s researchers were later sent to study pangolins in Taiwan with the stated goal of promoting the nation’s “reunification with the motherland,” according to a CBCGDF staff member’s report given at a UFWD theoretical research class in 2023.

Zhou’s CBCGDF profile indicates that he has repeatedly served as a CPPCC delegate, and Chinese government sources identify him as having held several leadership positions within UFWD organizations.

Among others, Zhou is listed as the chairman of a U.S. branch of the Western Returned Scholars Association (WRSA), which is a UFWD subordinate, according to USCC. As with the aforementioned CAST that oversees CBCGDF, WRSA is the other “most important” organization involved in China’s technology transfer efforts, according to the commission. Zhou did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

Zhou has also attended at least three events hosted by the Chinese People’s Association For Friendship With Foreign Countries (CPAFFC), which is a UFWD “affiliate,” according to the U.S. State Department. In November 2019, Chinese state media reported Zhou attended one such CPAFFC event in China’s Hebei province with the executive director of CBCGDF’s Green Future Science and Technology Development Special Fund, Jiang Zhiming, who is Luanna Jiang’s father, according to Sing Tao Daily.

Jiang Zhiming donated approximately $140,000 to establish CBCGDF’s special fund in 2015, according to the group. He could not be reached for comment.

Zhou has ties to Harvard and the Chinese military, according to multiple reports.

On May 23, 2018, Zhou met with Harvard Fairbanks Director Michael Szonyi to discuss the promotion of cultural exchanges, education and business between the U.S. and China, according to China Poly Group, which hosted the meeting at its headquarters in Beijing. China Poly Group is a state-owned Chinese defense contractor founded by the Central Military Commission and PLA, according to its archived website. The U.S. government sanctioned China Poly Group’s subsidiary Poly Technologies in 20132022, and 2024, for missile proliferation and other activities.

Zhou and Szonyi did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment. China Poly Group could not be reached for comment.

Chinese media outlet Sohu reported that during the 2018 meeting between Zhou, Szonyi, and China Poly Group’s chairman Xu Niansha, the parties also discussed the promotion of the Belt And Road Initiative, which is a Chinese government “infrastructure development and economic integration strategy” that China uses to gain intelligence and “political, military and economic leverage over participating countries through the accrual and manipulation of debt,” according to the U.S. State Department.

The year before Zhou’s meeting with Szonyi, CBCGDF’s secretary-general attended a January 2017 meeting at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, during which CBCGDF signed a memorandum of understanding and cooperation with China Poly Group, Chinese state media reported.

“China Poly Group follows the call of Chairman Xi Jinping, adhering to the aim of ‘protecting the country and benefiting the people,’ in order to build a harmonious China and green development, work together and dedicate ourselves to our responsibilities,” China Poly Group’s chairman, Xu Niansha, said during a speech at the 2017 meeting, according to a DCNF translation.

PODCAST: Either you own the property or you are the property!

I don’t know how many of you had the opportunity to listen to President Trump’s speech in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I think it was one of the best ones he’s ever given. It was amazing.

The main point of the speech can be summarized as follows: America is open for business, not looking for War, not looking to spread Democracy, not looking to get involved with Arab culture — your culture is your own. America is open for business and looking for trade. Trade is what will make us all strong. Once we are involved economically, the chances of war become minimal.

I was also amazed to see the number of American flags, the pageantry, and the tribute to America that these Middle Eastern partners displayed. Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince greeted President Trump personally on a royal purple carpet, flanked by a guard of honor, reserved only for most-favored guests. President Trump was escorted by a 6-fighter F-15 honorary jet escort by the Royal Saudi Air Force. Qatar escorted Air Force One with eight fighter jets. The UAE awarded Donald Trump its highest civilian award available.

Playing the National Anthem was the icing on the cake. Then I thought, how sad it is that our schools don’t even bother displaying the American flag, let alone play the National Anthem. How Ironic. In our own country, patriotism is frowned on.

America has become the land of give me, give me, give me. And by the way, if you have it and I want it, I will steal and take what I want without any consequences. Bad behavior is rewarded. It seems as though there is never enough money or power for the elite. The only way they can keep it and get more is to lie, cheat, and steal. We have become the land of liars.

They have lied about Biden’s health, and we knew it. Yet our impotent, incompetent RINO leaders refused to do anything about it, and allowed Leftist insane Marxist ideology of open borders, mega spending, loss of free speech, and government-controlled healthcare to rule. How can we allow any Biden policy to stand? Easy, do nothing, and the RINOs will continue to fund his programs, like the Green New Deal, to subsidize China.

We let them use programs like sustainable developments, aka 15-minute cities, aka smart cities, to herd us into walkable, not drivable, low-emission neighborhoods, aka prisons, ghettos, or concentration camps.

EAT, LIVE, AND SHOP WHERE YOU LIVE  AND CAN WALK TO. HAIRDRESSER, GROCERY, DOCTOR – NOT WHERE YOU WANT TO GO BUT WHERE YOU MUST GO. With constant surveillance every step you take, every breath you make, every move you make, they will be watching you.

These evil people must strip you of everything you own, especially your home.

My favorite movie was Gone With the Wind. My favorite line: “The land is the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it’s the only thing that lasts”…..Gerald O’Hara, Gone With The Wind.”

Land is an asset that can be leveraged to accumulate wealth. We are considered subservient and cannot have wealth.

“We will have nothing and be happy.”

Never forget 2008. Billions of our tax dollars were given to the banks, who, along with George W Bush, created the mortgage meltdown. The RINOs forced us into foreclosure by shipping our jobs overseas. Instead of giving each American the money to pay rent or mortgages, they gave our money to the rich bankers who foreclosed on us. Then they called us deadbeats. Today, they are making the taxes so high that people are being forced off their land. Nothing changes unless we change it ourselves!

The contrast of the reception in the Middle East, versus the Left in America, is so staggering! It really shows the disdain and contempt that the Left and RINOs have for the American people.

You need to sit up and pay attention! THIS IS DEEP!

The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.” – Club of Rome, premier environmental think-tank, consultants to the United Nations.

This is what they think of us, and teach our children!

Their ultimate goal is depopulation. Still having a hard time wrapping your head around the real issue?

ELITES WANT AMERICA DESTROYED, AND THEY WANT US ALL…DEAD.

If you are not an elite, you are a useless eater. You are using up, and hogging up, resources that elites feel they only, are entitled to. You need to go die.

Then, take a look at this map, which we call the Death Map, from Dr Michael Coffman https://www.propertyrightsresearch.org/articles2/wildlands_project_and_un_convent.html

  • The United Nations lied to Congress, saying that  Agenda 21 didn’t exist. Today, it is called Agenda 2030.
  • Everything is connected
  • Nothing is random
  • Everything happens for a reason
  • Everything is a LIE

So, what do we do about this mess we are in?

  1. Support President Trump
  2. VOTE in the PRIMARIES and toss the RINOS out
  3. Contact your legislators and tell them WE WANT DOGE CUTS
  4. Don’t listen to the Lies!

Attorney General Eliminates Far-Left American Bar Association’s Role in Vetting Judicial Nominees

It won’t affect the rogue, radical judges running amok but going forward it will impact future nominees.

Attorney General Eliminates American Bar Association’s Role in Vetting Judicial Nominees

The association ‘no longer functions as a fair arbiter of nominees’ qualifications,” Pam Bondi said.

By Zachary Stieber, The Epoch Times, May 31, 2025:

Attorney General Pam Bondi has ended the role of the American Bar Association (ABA) in vetting people nominated by the president to serve as judges.
Bondi said in a May 29 missive to ABA President William R. Bay that the association “no longer functions as a fair arbiter of nominees’ qualifications and its ratings invariably and demonstrably favor nominees put forth by Democratic administrations.”

She said that the association has refused to fix the bias in its rating process and that the Department of Justice will stop directing nominees to provide waivers that let the ABA access non-public information on the nominees, including bar records.

Nominees will also neither respond to ABA surveys nor sit for interviews with the association, Bondi said.
“The American Bar Association has lost its way, and we do not believe it serves as a fair arbiter of judicial nominees,” Bondi wrote on social media platform X.

She said the Department of Justice “will no longer give the ABA the access they’ve taken for granted.”

The ABA did not respond to a request for comment and has not appeared to respond publicly to the development.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told The Epoch Times via email that the development was not surprising.

“Since the George W. Bush administration, the ABA has increasingly failed to give all judicial nominees a fair shake, particularly those nominated by Republican administrations. They have also consistently taken partisan stances on political issues and chosen to act like a progressive advocacy organization,” he said. “The Judiciary Committee will still accept letters from the ABA, the same as we do for all outside organizations, but it doesn’t make sense for this administration to be giving favored access to an organization that’s consistently shown political bias.”

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the top Democrat on the panel, criticized the move.

“This decision overturns a practice that has been in place for nearly 70 years under Republican and Democratic Administrations alike in order to provide cover for unqualified and extreme nominees who would crumble under a nonpartisan review by their peers,” Durbin told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement.

The ABA is an association of lawyers and judges. It says it has more than 400,000 members. An ABA committee began conducting independent evaluations of the qualifications of judicial nominees in 1953.

Analysis: Biden Unaware of Executive Orders ‘Signed’ by Autopen

President Joe Biden issued 162 executive orders over the course of his Oval Office tenure, but according to a new report, most of them were signed by “autopen,” giving rise to concerns that unelected White House staffers may have had more say in shaping policy than the president. The report is furthering those concerns and suggesting that Biden may not have even been aware of the existence of the orders being signed in his name.

The American energy advocacy group Power the Future published the report Wednesday, examining eight Biden-era executive orders on climate change and U.S. energy policy, and found “no evidence” that Biden ever spoke about or acknowledged the existence of any of these orders. “Not in a press conference. Not in a speech. Not even a video statement,” Power the Future’s report stated. Power the Future Executive Director Daniel Turner said in a statement, “Americans deserve to know which unelected staffers or radical unnamed activists implemented sweeping change through an autopen. The Biden energy agenda destroyed the livelihoods of energy workers and fueled the record-high inflation that broke the budgets of millions of Americans.” He asked, “The question is simple, and deserves an immediate answer: what did Joe Biden know, and when did he know it?”

According to the Oversight Project, dedicated to government accountability, practically every order signed by Biden was signed via autopen, with the exception of his announcement withdrawing from the 2024 presidential election. The Oversight Project cited House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who questioned Biden on an executive order affecting liquefied natural gas (LNG) and reported that the president didn’t remember signing the order. “He looks at me, stunned, and he said, ‘I didn’t do that,’” Johnson recounted. He continued, “And I said to him, ‘Mr. President, yes you did, it was an executive order, like, you know, three weeks ago.’ And he goes, ‘No, I didn’t do that.’ … It occurred to me … he was not lying to me. He genuinely did not know what he had signed.”

“For investigators to determine whether then-President Biden actually ordered the signature of relevant legal documents, or if he even had the mental capacity to, they must first determine who controlled the autopen and what checks there were in place,” the Oversight Project wrote in a social media post. The accountability organization continued, “Given President Biden’s decision to revoke Executive Privilege for individuals advising Trump during his first Presidency, this is a knowable fact that can be determined with the correct legal process…”

The “autopen” has been the subject of significant controversy in recent years due to Biden’s excessive use of the technology. Devices have been around for centuries, allowing individuals to replicate their signature or sign multiple documents at once. Thomas Jefferson, for example, kept an early prototype, then called a “polygraph,” in the White House and another in his residence at Monticello. The device allowed a user to sign multiple documents at once but did require the signer to be present and to actively use the machine.

In the late 1930s, an automated version of the machine was developed, called the “autopen,” which would store a template of a signature that could be reproduced without the presence of the actual signer. The autopen became commercially available in the early 1940s and was quickly purchased by politicians, government officials, celebrities, and others. The first U.S. president to use an autopen was reportedly Harry Truman, although he only used the device to sign checks and answer mail. Likewise, most other presidents — such as John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, or Gerald Ford — who used an autopen relegated their use of the instrument to signing checks, correspondence, and autographs.

George W. Bush considered using the autopen to sign executive orders and legislation and even got the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) approval to do so, but still insisted on signing such documents himself, flying to Washington, D.C. to sign emergency legislation in 2005, for example. Barack Obama was the first president to use the autopen to sign legislation, giving his approval to sign Patriot Act extensions via autopen while he was visiting France in 2011, the National Defense Authorization Act while vacationing in Hawaii in 2012, and fiscal legislation in 2013.

President Donald Trump has openly refused to use autopen signatures for executive orders and other legal documents. “We may use it, as an example, to send some young person a letter because it’s nice,” Trump told reporters in March. Contrasting his limited use of the autopen against Biden’s much broader use, Trump added, “But to sign pardons and all of the things that he signed with an autopen is disgraceful.” Trump has also suggested that pardons — and, potentially, executive orders — signed by the Biden administration via autopen may be legally “void” if the president didn’t know what he was signing or didn’t authorize its signature.

The Washington Stand asked the DOJ about potential investigations and, if applicable, prosecutions of the Biden administration’s autopen use and was told, “No comment here.”

Republicans Brace for the Next Wave of Big Beautiful Debates

When Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) hauled the “one, big, beautiful bill” over its first mountain — House passage — he had one request. To the GOP senators, he said, “I encourage them to modify the package that we’re sending over there as little as possible.” Thinking back over the warring factions in his chamber, he added, “Because we have to maintain that balance, and it’s a very delicate thing.” But in the days since last Thursday, it’s not clear if any Republicans, including the one in the White House, are listening.

Watching the House from a safe distance through its long nights, tense meetings, mark-ups, and ferocious jockeying for different priorities, senators sent a steady drip of commentary to the press about what they would change and language they thought could go farther. Now that the bill sits squarely in their laps, some have signaled at choppy waters ahead. While almost everyone is complimentary of the job the speaker has done, they also recognize that this is their chance to put a different mark on Donald Trump’s signature legislation.

“I want to get a deal done,” Florida Senator Rick Scott (R) insisted. “I support the president’s agenda. I support the border, I support the military, I support extending the Trump tax cuts … But [we’ve] got to live in reality here: [We’ve] got a fiscal crisis.”

Others, like Kentucky’s Rand Paul (R), have been more critical. For weeks, he’s tried to rally the troops to cut more spending. “… [T]he math doesn’t add up,” the chamber’s outspoken fiscal hawk warned. “They’re going to explode the debt by — the House says $4 trillion, the Senate’s actually been talking about exploding the debt $5 trillion.” Surely, he persisted, “there’s got to be someone left in Washington who thinks debt is wrong and deficits are wrong and wants to go in the other direction,” he said.

Johnson took the disapproval in stride. “I agree wholeheartedly with what my dear friend, Rand Paul, said. I love his conviction, and I share it,” he told Fox News’s Shannon Bream. “The national debt is … the greatest threat to our national security, and deficits are a serious problem,” the speaker said. “What I think Rand is missing on this one is the fact that we are quite serious about this,” the Louisianan emphasized. “This is the biggest spending cut in more than 30 years.”

The fault-finding isn’t a surprise. The speaker endured plenty of it from his own House circles, including perpetual nitpicker Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) who called the House package “a debt bomb ticking” before voting against it. Even the Senate’s Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) argued that the “number one goal of this reconciliation ought to be to reduce that 10-year and those annual deficits, not increase them.”

Sitting down with Family Research Council President Tony Perkins for “This Week on Capitol Hill,” the speaker was asked about the party’s concerns. Republicans say it “doesn’t go far enough,” Perkins prodded before asking for Johnson’s response.

A beat passed, and the speaker replied, “It took us many decades to get the country into the financial mess we’re in. We cannot flip a switch and fix it overnight, but,” he paused, “we have a responsibility to get us to begin to steer out of the debt crisis. This bill is truly historic in its scope and what it does for the first time in history.” Johnson continued, “This legislation is written so that we save $1.9 trillion with a ‘T’ in taxpayer funds. There’s never been anything like that. It’s twice as much as the last time Congress even attempted such a thing, which is more than 30 years ago. So truly historic in turning the aircraft carrier and beginning us on a new trajectory,” the speaker said, referring to his oft-invoked metaphor.

To those like Paul who complain that the debt ceiling hike only enables more spending, Johnson is emphatic. “We’re going to extend the debt limit — not because we’re going to spend more money, but because you have to do that to show the bond markets and the rest of the world that America is good on its debts. That must be done. Everybody knows that.” He invoked the White House. “President Trump is insistent about it. He says we’re not raising a ceiling to spend it. We’re extending the deadline so that we can get our fiscal house in order. This is a really important thing.”

And while the president has been enthusiastic about the House’s package, he created plenty of heartburn Sunday evening when he seemed to imply that the upper chamber should have its way with the legislation. “I want the Senate and the senators to make the changes they want,” Trump told reporters over the weekend. “It will go back to the House, and we’ll see if we can get them. In some cases, the changes may be something I’d agree with, to be honest.” Hinting at conversations he’s probably had with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), the president acknowledged there would be changes. “Some will be minor, some will be fairly significant.”

Reminded that the goal is to get the bill to his desk by July 4, Trump nodded. “I think it’s going to get there,” adding that Johnson and Thune “have done a fantastic job.”

While the two sides gather their energy for the reconciliation fight’s next round, the speaker has spent his time hammering away at the disinformation Democrats keep spewing about the bill’s supposed fallout. Repeating what he’s said a hundred times in a hundred different ways, Johnson reiterated, “We are not cutting Medicaid in this package. There’s a lot of [dishonesty] out there about this.” Pointing to one of the most outrageous examples of fraud, waste, and abuse, he quantified a problem that many suspected but didn’t have hard numbers on.

“[We’ve] got more than 1.4 million illegal aliens on Medicaid,” the speaker warned. “Medicaid is not intended for non-U.S. citizens. It’s intended for the most vulnerable populations of Americans, which is pregnant women and young single mothers, the disabled, the elderly. They are protected in what we’re doing, because we’re preserving the resources for those who need it most.” Then he put the spotlight on the other problem, the legal, work-capable citizens who were added to the rolls under Joe Biden. “You’re talking about 4.8 million able-bodied workers, young men, for example, who are on Medicaid and not working. They are choosing not to work when they can. That is called fraud. They are cheating the system. When you root out those kinds of abuses,” he stressed, “you save the resources that are so desperately needed by the people who deserve it and need it most. That’s what we’re doing.”

And it’s not just the Medicaid soundbites they’ll have to confront but the headlines about the proposal’s “score,” as in how much the government’s financial experts at the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) believe it will add to the deficit. But, as the Louisiana leader cautioned, there’s almost always more to that than meets the eye. “The last time they scored a big bill like this was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the first Trump administration,” he explained to Perkins. “They were $1 trillion off in their calculations.”

To put the process into perspective, he noted that “the CBO is run by Democrats,” adding that “84% of the employees there who are crunching the numbers are donors to big Democrats like [Massachusetts Senator] Elizabeth Warren and [Senator] Bernie Sanders. So we dismiss that,” the speaker said. “What they do not count for is the pro-growth policies in this bill that [are] going to grow the U.S. economy. And that is how, in combination with savings, we’re going to get ourselves out of this mess.”

Still, Johnson underscored, as he has so many times, “We value everybody’s opinion. … You know, my background is in constitutional law. I’m a student of what the Founders originally intended for how the process was supposed to work. The United States Congress is the greatest deliberative body in the history of the world. It works so well, but only if it’s done as designed.” He thought back on his predecessors and other leaders who drafted major legislation “in a back room, by quite literally a handful of people. I didn’t want to do that, because I think we’ve got to get back to what was intended.” Everyone should have a voice, he insisted. Does that take longer? Absolutely. Is it more painful? His chamber just proved it was. “But it’s always worth it in the end … and it makes a better product.”

What will happen to the 1,100 pages he poured over for months? The speaker doesn’t know. But there’s one tool he’d suggest for everyone facing these big obstacles: “prayer.” “It’s not been in vogue in Washington for quite some time,” Johnson reflected, “and I’m just bringing it back. It seems like some huge innovation, but that’s exactly how our nation began. And I think we do well to remember it.”

EXCLUSIVE: Social Security Fraud Just Tip Of The Iceberg, Trump’s New Commissioner Says

Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner Frank Bisignano said Social Security numbers are vulnerable to exploitation and fraud across multiple government agencies, from the DMV to Medicare.

The former Wall Street executive, confirmed earlier this month after the agency cycled through five leadership changes in five months, said the problem extends far beyond Social Security benefit fraud to encompass the entire federal system where the numbers are used for identification.

“Fraud can happen in many ways. It doesn’t just have to be through Social Security,” Bisignano said in an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It could be on the many ways people use a Social Security number to get access …  the Social Security number needs to be a lockdown number.”

Bisignano also warned that because social security numbers are used by multiple federal agencies, fraud risks can balloon beyond the social security system. He said he would be trying to find coordinated solutions to head off fraud.

“The job is about building the largest level of integrity, the highest accuracy rate,” he said.

The commissioner said he is implementing artificial intelligence systems and operational overhauls to address these vulnerabilities across the agency’s 500 million annual interactions with Americans. He said current systems fall short of acceptable security standards.

The agency currently operates with a 1% error rate, he said, but Bisignano aims for “five nines” accuracy — 99.999% — comparable to private sector standards.

“If you’re running at something below that, it will give way to mediocrity at best, and will give way to failure and opportunity for bad things to happen,” he said.

Bisignano has been visiting field offices nationwide to assess operations firsthand, including recent trips to New Jersey locations. He emphasized the importance of understanding ground-level operations before implementing changes.

“I always believed that I need to go see the word to understand the work,” he said. “My job is to help them do their job better and bring the tools.”

In addition, Bisignano rejected Democratic criticism that the Trump administration seeks to cut Social Security benefits, citing his personal background as the son of a World War II veteran and federal agent.

“The idea that I’d be doing anything other than trying to bolster it up is just crazy,” he said.

The commissioner also announced the agency expects to complete Fairness Act payments by the end of June, delivering benefits to 3.2 million Americans ahead of the initially projected timeline of one year.

“This organization will learn how to execute with excellence,” Bisignano told the DCNF.

EXCLUSIVE: FCC Commissioner Wants Regulatory ‘Cows’ Lined Up ‘For The Slaughterhouse’

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Nathan Simington outlined the regulatory “cows” his agency is “lining up for the slaughterhouse” as part of its “Delete, Delete, Delete” initiative, in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Trump-era deregulatory push, spearheaded by the commissioner and FCC Chair Brendan Carr, targets what Simington described as outdated broadcast media regulations — rules from the Truman administration that no longer reflect the media landscape in 2025.

“Let’s talk about profane cows, because these are the ones that we’re lining up for the slaughterhouse,” Simington told the DCNF. “I think one of the prime areas of interest for ‘Delete, Delete, Delete’ should be our broadcast media regulations. These broadcast media regulations, in many cases, come — you were talking about the Truman administration — some of them are just that old. Others are from the 1970s. They’re from an era when broadcast media was the only form of telecom media that most people had access to. Obviously, that has changed radically.”

WATCH:

The “Delete, Delete, Delete” initiative, launched in March, invites the public to flag FCC rules they believe should be scrapped. The aim, according to Simington, is to modernize the Commission’s rulebook by gutting what he called “path dependen[t]” relics from a pre-streaming era.

“In 2023, streaming subscriptions surpassed cable subscriptions in the United States, and broadcasters are not in the same kind of economic and cultural positions that they once were,” he said. “So, the idea that [broadcasters] should still be as intensely regulated as they were during that era — even if you are a believer in media regulation, which I’m not, particularly — but even if you were, the argument isn’t there anymore. There really is no argument other than path dependence and historical practice.”

The FCC is considering cuts to longstanding media ownership caps, operational restrictions and decades-old filing requirements — unless they’re explicitly mandated by Congress or the White House. Simington said that unless the president “wants it to stay,” it should be up for deletion.

“I think we should take a hard look at every media ownership rule, at every operational restriction,” the commissioner said. “And unless it’s something that’s been directly mandated by Congress, or where we have clear direction from the West Wing, that the president wants it to stay, we should consider deleting, deleting, deleting it.”

YOUR TRUST IS BEING WEAPONIZED: The New Wave of Scams Preying on the Elderly, the Innocent, and the Faithful

When Ryan Last took his own life, it broke something inside me.

Ryan was a 17-year-old straight-A student. A kind soul. Preparing for college. A young man full of promise. But all it took was a single online scam to unravel his world. Someone pretending to be a girl convinced him to send a private photo. Then came the blackmail: Pay up, or we show everyone.

He panicked. He paid what he could from his college fund.

But they wanted more.

Humiliated. Terrified. Alone.

Ryan took his life and left behind a note apologizing for “not being smarter.”

No teenager should feel that kind of shame. And no parent should ever have to bury their child because of a scam.

But this nightmare isn’t a one-off. It’s a rising national epidemic.

This hit close to home for us. Our granddaughter’s boyfriend, a Liberty University student, fell for the same scam. Praise God, he didn’t take his own life—but the emotional toll was real and lasting.

Every day, more and more scams flood this nation, including dozens of Social Security scams, check scams, billing scams, and too many more to mention here!

And it’s hitting those we love the most: our children… and our elderly.

🎯 The New Targets of Evil: Christians, Grandparents, Children and the Kindhearted

Scammers are no longer just sleazy roofers or shady mechanics. Those old-school con games have evolved into something far more dangerous—and far more evil.

Now, scammers use artificial intelligence to clone the voice of your grandchild begging for help.

They impersonate your pastor.

They pose as federal agents, Social Security reps, or even your bank.

They come in emails, pop-ups, text messages, and robocalls.

They don’t just want your money.

They want to weaponize your trust.

They want to exploit your compassion—especially if you’re a Bible-believing Christian.

Why? Because they know our hearts.

We’re generous. We believe the best in people.

We love. We give. We help.

They see that as weakness. But it’s not weakness—it’s righteousness. And it’s time we defend it.

🧭 What We’re Doing About It — And How You Can Help

At Christian Action Network, we’re launching a national initiative to demand the creation of a Federal Anti-Scam Bureau — a dedicated agency focused solely on ending this epidemic of deception.

This campaign includes:

✅ A national Stop Lethal Scam Attacks NOW! survey

✅ A call for mandatory sentencing for repeat scammers

✅ A free educational tool: our Top 15 Targeting Scams, full-color flyer

✅ A push for state governors to issue regular scam alerts to all households

We’re not asking the FBI to stop doing its job. In fact, even FBI Director Kash Patel recently said:

“We want to work at the FBI because we want to fight violent crime and be sent out into the country to do it.”

Exactly. Let FBI agents track down murderers and terrorists—not spend their days chasing phone, email, and text scammers. We need a dedicated team focused on fraud—and we need it now.

📬 How You Can Take a Stand

You can help fight back today by:

📝 Filling out the “Stop Lethal Scam Attacks NOW!” survey

Share

I’m sending this survey to our nationwide network of supporters, and I would like to include your answers when I submit the results to Congress.

Your voice matters.

Your life matters.

Your money matters.

And your compassion doesn’t deserve to be turned into a weapon.

Let’s make sure no more Ryans fall.

Let’s protect our seniors, our families, and our churches.

Together, we can stop the scams—and strike back against this rising wave of digital evil.

📎 Click here to fill out the survey ➤

Why America Needs a Federal Anti-Scam Bureau

FBI agents, trained to handle violent criminals, are increasingly burdened by investigating widespread scams that drain their resources and focus.

This diversion leaves violent crimes less thoroughly addressed and scam victims inadequately protected.

A dedicated Federal Anti-Scam Bureau would change that.

With specialized agents solely focused on stopping scams, educating the public, and swiftly bringing scammers to justice, we could significantly reduce scam-related losses and tragedies.

Protecting our families, seniors, and communities from ruthless predators demands specialized attention.

Without immediate and focused intervention, scammers will continue to thrive, causing devastating emotional and financial harm across our nation.

Your completed survey sends a strong message to Congress and government leaders:

Americans demand action.

We must demonstrate widespread public support to ensure lawmakers prioritize creating this critical agency.

Now is the time for collective action and a united voice.

Please complete and return your survey today—your participation is crucial in this fight for justice and safety.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Admin Rolls Out New Tool To Stop Noncitizens From ‘Hijacking’ U.S. Elections

The Trump administration is unrolling a new initiative Thursday that will help prevent noncitizens from voting in U.S. elections, a high-priority policy for the White House.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is updating the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program and partnering with the Social Security Administration in order to ensure “a single, reliable source for verifying immigration status and U.S. citizenship,” according to a memo exclusively shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. Under the update, state and local officials will be able to input Social Security numbers for verification of U.S. citizenship and thereby prevent foreign nationals from voting in American elections.

“For years, states have pleaded for tools to help identify and stop aliens from hijacking our elections,” USCIS Spokesman Matthew Tragesser said in a statement provided to the DCNF.

“Under the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, USCIS is moving quickly to eliminate voter fraud,” Tragesser continued. “We expect further improvements soon and remain committed to restoring trust in American elections.”

SAVE, an online service administered by USCIS, allows various government agencies to verify the immigration status or U.S. naturalization of applicants seeking benefits or licenses.

The new partnership allows government agencies to create cases in SAVE using an applicant’s Social Security number rather than a Department of Homeland Security identifying number, which is not collected by a majority of state and local agencies, according to a separate news release. Additionally, agencies for the first time will be able to submit more than one case at a time, streamlining the process.

The new tool’s unveiling drew praise from the Tennessee secretary of state’s office, which has been involved in a select group of states providing testing and feedback on these verification updates.

“I commend President Trump and his team for building a super tool for election officials to identify and remove ineligible voters,” Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett said in a statement provided to the DCNF. “I predict this system, once fully developed, will be a game changer for election officials.”

“President Trump’s super election integrity tool means if you are an ineligible registered voter in Tennessee, we will find you,” Hargett said.

Polling indicates that basic voter protection regulations, such as requiring a photo ID to vote and providing proof of citizenship when registering to vote for the first time, are incredibly popular among Americans.

Since returning to the White House, President Donald Trump has prioritized reforms to keep noncitizens out of U.S. elections. The president in March signed Executive Order 14248, Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections, which aims to protect voting systems from fraud, systemic error and foreign influence.

Trump has also voiced strong support for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, legislation sponsored by Texas GOP Rep. Chip Roy that would require states to obtain proof of citizenship prior to registering an individual for any federal election and also requires state officials to remove all noncitizens from existing voter rolls. That bill passed the House in April, with only four Democrat lawmakers voting in favor of it.

Despite pushback from Democrats who claim GOP concerns over noncitizen voting is overblown, numerous high-profile cases of foreign participation in U.S. elections have been documented in recent months.

Federal prosecutors in April charged two Ukrainian nationals — 53-year-old Svitlana Demydenko and her 22-year-old daughter, Yelyzaveta Demydenko — with unlawfully voting in the 2024 presidential election. Akeel Abdul Jamiel — a 45-year-old Iraqi national — was accused by federal prosecutors that same month of participating in the 2020 presidential election.

State officials in Texas, Alabama, Virginia and Ohio identified as many as 17,000 noncitizens on state voting rolls and worked to remove them from the books ahead of the 2024 general election. America First Legal, a Washington, D.C.-based group aligned with the Trump administration, sued Maricopa County, Arizona, in August after the county recorder allegedly failed to purge 35,000 registered voters who did not provide proof of U.S. citizenship.

The Trump administration hinted at more updates to come in the future.

“USCIS will continue to improve and add more capability and functionality to SAVE,” the USCIS news release reads. “Providing more tools within SAVE ensures state and local governments have robust and reliable access to federal databases to confirm the U.S. citizenship of individuals on their voting rolls and registering to vote, in support of [Trump’s executive order].”

Editor’s note: This article has been updated to include comment from Tennessee secretary of state’s office.
