A former Venezuelan military officer is blowing the whistle on what he says is a dangerous failure by U.S. intelligence to recognize a criminal threat operating as a government-sponsored weapon. José Arocha, a retired lieutenant colonel, is challenging a recent intelligence report that downplayed links between Nicolás Maduro’s regime and the violent Tren de Aragua gang. He says the group is much more than street thugs—it’s a tool of asymmetrical warfare aimed directly at destabilizing the United States. Trump Vindicated as Intelligence Shake-Up Rocks Washington President Trump has long warned that the flood of illegal Venezuelan migrants includes criminal elements deliberately sent by Maduro. But a controversial intelligence report labeled it “unlikely” the Venezuelan dictator was involved. In response, DNI Tulsi Gabbard fired the acting director and deputy director of the National Intelligence Council, accusing them of ignoring critical evidence. A former Venezuelan military officer, Jose Arocha, disputes a U.S. intelligence report denying ties between the Tren de Aragua gang and the Maduro regime, arguing the gang serves as a state-sponsored tool for asymmetric warfare against the U.S.https://t.co/1cJRIQRVcX — Mark Bowron (@MarkBowron420) May 30, 2025 The now-dismissed report contradicted Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Tren de Aragua affiliates, whom he described as part of an “invasion.” Gabbard’s action signals a cleaning house at the highest levels of U.S. intelligence, echoing Trump’s broader effort to dismantle the entrenched “deep state” that many conservatives believe has worked against him for years. Arocha: Tren de Aragua Is a Weapon of Hybrid Warfare José Arocha is sounding the alarm that Tren de Aragua is not just a gang—it’s a paramilitary asset of the Maduro regime. Speaking to Fox News, Arocha described the group as a strategic tool used to export chaos to the U.S. and Latin America. He says the gang is deeply embedded in a state-run system of protection, mobility, and mission-based infiltration. “I agree with the Trump administration’s moves against Tren de Aragua, which he believes is an "asymmetrical warfare" tool of the Maduro regime to sow discord in the United States and other countries in the Western Hemisphere”. @ArochaJG José Arocha, SFS Senior Fellow, in… — Center for a Secure Free Society (@SecureFreeSoc) May 30, 2025 He points to Venezuela’s notorious Tocorón prison—which acted as the gang’s HQ for years—as proof of the regime’s complicity. Arocha argues the 2023 “raid” on the prison was a staged event, allowing gang leaders to flee with government help, rather than dismantling their operations. Links to Terror Networks and Maduro’s Global Backers Arocha also cited chilling evidence of broader ties between Venezuela and U.S. enemies. He highlighted the kidnapping and murder of dissident Ronald Ojeda in Chile, suggesting it was a Maduro-sanctioned operation. He also pointed to Maduro ally Tareck El Aissami’s alleged links to Hamas and Hezbollah, warning that Venezuela is acting as a proxy for Iran, China, and Russia in the Western Hemisphere. Jose Arocha, who is a former lieutenant colonel in the Venezuelan military, told Fox News Digital that the recent intel community report denying Tren de Aragua is linked to the Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro is missing a key aspect: the socialist regime's animosity towards… pic.twitter.com/8UdfpnD4tv — Melissa Hallman (@dotconnectinga) May 30, 2025 He’s urging the U.S. to drop its outdated law enforcement approach and treat Tren de Aragua as an extension of enemy state operations. He believes Latin American countries already familiar with the gang’s tactics could help America build a more accurate threat picture. As Gabbard begins rooting out political bias from the intelligence community, this case underscores why Trump’s instincts on border security, foreign interference, and the need for loyalty in Washington were dead-on from the start.

A bombshell undercover investigation by Project Veritas has shaken Washington, exposing Anthony Bernal—Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff—as a powerful behind-the-scenes figure in the Biden administration. According to insiders, Bernal quietly influenced major decisions, including President Biden’s 2024 exit, raising serious concerns about who’s really calling the shots in the White House. Bernal: The “Wizard of Oz” Inside the White House In the explosive footage, DNC Vice Chair David Hogg admits that Anthony Bernal controlled far more than his job title suggested. “It was an open secret… I would avoid him,” Hogg confesses on camera, warning that Bernal’s grip on access and information made him untouchable in Biden’s inner circle. Former Biden aide Deterrian Jones described Bernal as a “Wizard of Oz-type figure”—a man who worked the levers of power from behind the curtain. His authority was so extensive that top Democrats feared him, not just respected him. According to sources, Bernal’s presence shaped both public policy and private decision-making at the highest levels. White House Access and Hidden Influence A career Democrat with deep ties to the Clintons and Obamas, Bernal used his role as Jill Biden’s top aide to infiltrate every corner of the West Wing. During COVID lockdowns, Bernal and fellow staffer Annie Tomasini were given rare “Res” badges—allowing them full access to the presidential residence. BUSTEDDavid Hogg spills the beans on who he thinks was running the White House, to an undercover Project Veritas Camera. Holly Smoke!

In July 2024, Congress subpoenaed Bernal over concerns he may have helped conceal Biden’s declining mental health—a question that continues to haunt the administration’s legacy. At the Center of Biden’s Exit from 2024 Race Perhaps most damning, Bernal was present at the secret Rehoboth Beach meeting where Joe Biden made the fateful decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential election. His involvement at that moment reveals a man far more powerful than any voter ever realized—an unelected insider steering the course of American history.

Is it the elected officials—or the loyal operatives who control them from behind the scenes? As pressure mounts for accountability, the American people are demanding answers.

America’s universities are under siege—not by declining test scores or curriculum battles, but by a surge of fraudulent foreign student applications. Under President Biden’s watch, dangerous visa loopholes are turning colleges into easy entry points for illegal immigration, threatening both national security and the credibility of U.S. higher education. Fraud Running Wild in America’s Universities Investigators say some universities are reporting up to 65% of international student applications as fraudulent, particularly from countries like India and Bangladesh. At Portland State University, officials saw an explosion of foreign applications—only to find that most of the admitted students never even showed up. A deeper look revealed that many applications were filled with fake transcripts, counterfeit documents, and even made-up identities. Corrupt foreign agents have turned student visas into a black-market racket, reserving slots only to flip them for cash. These operations are flooding the system with junk applications, overwhelming admissions offices, and turning America’s schools into unwitting accomplices in global immigration fraud. Biden’s Open Border Policies Fuel the Loophole Under the Biden administration, immigration enforcement has been neutered—and foreign nationals have taken notice. Curricular Practical Training (CPT) programs, originally meant to give students real-world work experience, have become backdoor job programs for foreign workers who skip the H-1B visa process entirely. 100 DAYS OF FAKE NEWS HOAXES & THE TRUTH! Since President Donald J. Trump took office 100 days ago, it has been a nonstop deluge of hoaxes and lies from Democrats and their allies in the Fake News suffering from terminal cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome. In no particular… — Republican Party of New Mexico (@NewMexicoGOP) April 30, 2025 Many students enter through respected institutions, only to immediately transfer to diploma mills offering “day-one CPT”—a policy that lets them start working immediately with little oversight. Cleveland State University officials confirm this tactic is widespread, as students chase easier job access rather than legitimate education, leaving hardworking Americans behind in their own job market. Trump Exposed It. Biden Enables It. The Trump administration’s “University of Farmington” sting proved just how deep this problem runs. That fake university operation caught hundreds abusing the system, and exposed the vulnerability of our immigration infrastructure. But since Biden took office, there’s been little appetite to enforce the law. A MUST READ EXPOSE BY BLOOMBERG Shameful how @JustinTrudeau immigration policy is resulting in the horrible treatment of foreign workers in this country. @theJagmeetSingh is as much to blame for supporting the introduction of that policy. It is a complete and utter shit… — Martin Pelletier (@MPelletierCIO) August 15, 2024 Rather than fix the system, liberal education groups are brushing off the data, more concerned with appeasing foreign recruitment firms than safeguarding America’s values. “The system is cracking,” one immigration analyst said. “This isn’t about learning anymore—it’s about gaming the system to get into the U.S. by any means necessary.” If we don’t tighten oversight of shady transfer programs, crack down on foreign recruitment scams, and restore Trump-era enforcement policies, our student visa program will continue to be a Trojan horse for unchecked immigration. America’s education system should not be a gateway for fraud. It should be a sacred institution for those who come to learn—not to cheat, lie, and exploit Biden’s weak policies.

Minnesota’s Democrat Governor Tim Walz tried to mock Texas by inviting its residents to relocate to his so-called “free state”—but Senator Ted Cruz fired back with a reality check that left Walz reeling. From riots and rising crime to mask mandates and gun grabs, Cruz exposed the liberal failures that turned Minnesota into a cautionary tale, not a sanctuary. Cruz Calls Out Walz: “You Let Your State Burn” When Walz boasted that Texans should flee to Minnesota for more “freedom,” Ted Cruz scorched him with one brutal line: “Tim, you let your state burn to the ground as you opened a hotline to encourage Minnesotans to snitch on each other for not wearing a mask.” Cruz was referencing the George Floyd riots, where Minneapolis descended into chaos under Walz’s watch. Instead of restoring law and order, Walz stood by as radicals torched businesses and terrorized neighborhoods. Meanwhile, his administration urged citizens to report neighbors over minor COVID violations. That’s not freedom—it’s soft tyranny. Gun Control Push Hijacks Personal Tragedy Walz doubled down during the Vice Presidential debate, using a personal story about his son witnessing a shooting to push red flag laws and expanded background checks. But JD Vance cut through the emotion with facts, showing that disarming law-abiding Americans isn’t the answer. NEW reminder that 5-years ago tonight, Gov. Tim Walz ordered the Minneapolis Third Police Precinct abandoned and surrendered to a Black Lives Matter mob who burned it to the ground. Walz was and always will be a complete coward. pic.twitter.com/IScpKJFW0g — Dapper Detective (@Dapper_Det) May 28, 2025 “I’m sorry about what your son went through,” Vance said. “But let’s talk about mental health, school security, and the real root causes of violence.” Vance stayed grounded in conservative solutions, while Walz tried to leverage tragedy for more gun control. Democrats Pour Millions into Texas, Still Can’t Beat Cruz With Walz’s name being floated for a 2028 presidential run, his sudden attacks on Texas and Republicans appear calculated. But Texans aren’t buying it. Senate Democrats are pouring millions into Congressman Colin Allred’s campaign to try to flip Cruz’s seat in 2024. But despite the media hype, Cruz maintains a steady lead and the Cook Political Report still ranks the race as “Likely Republican.” First it was Tim Walz “code talker.” Now it’s $20 million to “study” men. The Dems are truly lost when it comes to dudes who just want to be dudes. pic.twitter.com/EOSUA6jQxJ — Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) May 28, 2025 Meanwhile, Attorney General Ken Paxton continues defending Texans’ gun rights, vowing to challenge the Texas Supreme Court’s decision allowing the State Fair of Texas to ban firearms. “This case is not over,” Paxton promised. “Texas law clearly protects the right to bear arms—and I’ll keep fighting to make sure that doesn’t stop at the fairgrounds.” From calling ICE agents a “modern-day Gestapo” to being tied to a pandemic-era nonprofit fraud scandal, Tim Walz’s record is anything but clean. His invitation to Texans wasn’t just tone-deaf—it was delusional. Texans know what real freedom looks like. It’s lower taxes, law and order, constitutional rights, and leaders who don’t let their cities burn. No wonder Ted Cruz’s takedown hit so hard—because every word was true.

President Trump’s administration has dramatically overhauled the nation’s COVID-19 vaccine guidance, restricting shots to seniors and high-risk individuals only. FDA Commissioner Dr. Martin Makary and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the change, signaling a seismic shift toward medical freedom and scientific accountability. A Victory for Common Sense and Parental Rights The new policy ends universal recommendations and demands strict evidence standards for any new or updated COVID vaccines—especially for younger, healthy Americans. Under the new rules, pharmaceutical companies must conduct placebo-controlled trials to justify shots for low-risk groups, effectively gutting the former blanket approach. The change aligns the U.S. with countries like Sweden and Denmark, which long ago scaled back COVID vaccination for healthy youth. What was once labeled “misinformation” is now federal policy—proof that conservatives who questioned the rushed mandates were right all along. MAHA Report: Time to Rethink the Childhood Vaccine Schedule The Making America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission Report, released May 22, 2025, added fuel to the fire by calling for a full review of the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule. It criticized Big Pharma’s influence on public health decisions and warned of potential long-term risks to children exposed to multiple vaccines without rigorous safety review. https://t.co/qM2MqvjRig — AMAC (@AMACforAmerica) May 21, 2025 Though some on the Left demanded a full ban on mRNA vaccines, Kennedy and Makary chose a strategic path, tightening standards and letting science—not politics—drive future decisions. Supporters say this is the first step in unwinding the aggressive mandates and censorship that defined the COVID era. Trump Keeps His Promise to Restore Medical Freedom This landmark policy marks another key fulfillment of Trump’s 2024 campaign pledge to return power to patients and parents. During Biden’s presidency, Americans faced job losses, social ostracism, and censorship for refusing the jab—even as concerns about side effects and efficacy grew louder. Dr. Anthony Fauci, who served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) and as Chief Medical Advisor to President Biden during Covid-19, today testified to Congress about Covid vaccines and Covid’s origin. "The first iteration of vaccines… pic.twitter.com/0speKyEmHb — Michael Shellenberger (@shellenberger) June 4, 2024 Now, the FDA and HHS are forcing Big Pharma to prove safety and necessity for every shot. A May 2025 New England Journal of Medicine article, authored by FDA officials, laid the groundwork by admitting the obvious: COVID is most dangerous to the elderly—not to healthy young adults or children. This policy correction isn’t just a win for conservatives. It’s a national course correction, and proof that Trump is restoring integrity and liberty to America’s broken public health system.
