The debate over boundaries in Israel has been raging for generations, but such tensions have escalated exponentially in the aftermath of Hamas’ terrorist attack in October 2023. Now, pro-Palestine activists around the world are openly promoting the concept of erasing Israel from the map — figuratively and literally. Supermodel Bella Hadid recently caught flak for posing alongside a historical map of “Western Palestine” that did not include Israel. When an Israeli calls the land Israel it’s ethnic cleansing and genocide, but when Bella Hadid holds a map and completely erases israel it’s called…..? pic.twitter.com/Vt68kQjvyF — Moti Ankari (@MotiAnkari) February 17, 2025 One House Republican had a particularly terse assessment of Hadid’s motives, as the New York Post reported: GOP Rep. Nancy Mace is blasting supermodel Bella Hadid as “disgusting” for sharing an old photo of herself promoting a map that portrays all of the land in Israel as Palestine. The photo appears to have been taken during Hadid’s 2022 visit to the Qatar National Library, an event in which the 28-year-old nepo-baby cat-walker posed with the map, titled “Western Palestine.” “Bella Hadid is a disgusting human being,” Mace, a staunch Israel supporter, (R-SC) sniped Sunday on X with a screenshot of the supermodel’s post. It’s unclear when Hadid posted the photo, which appeared to be featured in an Instagram story on her account that has since disappeared. Of course, this wasn’t the model’s first display of Palestinian sympathies: New favorite pic of Bella Hadid wearing a Palestine map necklace pic.twitter.com/7L21CcCWbW — lux (@audreydiamonds) June 15, 2021 There are plenty of other celebrities eager to denigrate Israel and/or promote Palestine: American singer Kehlani has expressed support for Palestine in their new music video, donning a keffiyeh inspired outfit and singing in front of a Palestinian flag. pic.twitter.com/IiGSaeECtQ — Al Jazeera English (@AJEnglish) June 4, 2024 But Hadid and her sister made it to the top of this X list of Palestinian-supporting female stars: Mega thread of female celebrities that deserve ALL of our support for standing up for Palestine! 1.) Gigi & Bella Hadid (1/24) pic.twitter.com/MVkhyjmP4f — The Saviour (@stairwayto3dom) July 13, 2024 In October, even left-leaning comedian Bill Maher highlighted the perceived idiocy of Westerners — and women or so-called “marginalized” individual in particular — who rush to defend every move by the Hamas extemists who control Palestine. As Deadline reported at the time: “To mark the Oct. 7 anniversary, we must launch a campaign to educate young Americans about the Middle East,” said Maher. “And the way I’d like to begin that process is by addressing an open letter to Chappell Roan. Now, to those viewers who aren’t watching this while also looking at your phones, let me explain. … She’s actually a great new recording artist, who, like a Hezbollah pager, is really blowing up.” Although Maher praised Roan for criticizing both sides of the political aisle, he chalked her perceived support of Palestine up to TikTok “propaganda.” “Chappell, if you think it was repressive growing up queer in the Midwest, try the Mid East,” he mused. “You’re a female drag queen and you sing, ‘I f—ed you in the bathroom when we went to dinner, your parents at the table.’ Yeah, that wouldn’t fly in Gaza. Although you would, straight off a roof. The same goes for ‘knee deep in the passenger seat and you’re eating me out.’ Yea, my guess is the morality police would figure out that one’s not about the drive-thru and kill your feathered boa-wearing ass. You know when you sing that ‘LA is where boys and girls can all be queens every single day’? You’re welcome, but offer not good in the West Bank. “Chappell, you’re not wrong that oppression is bad, or that Palestinian and many other Muslim populations are oppressed and deserve to be freed. You just have it completely ass-backwards as to who is doing the oppressing. Hamas is a terrorist mafia that took over Gaza … these are the oppressors. And when you make it all about Israel, you take the pressure off of them. You enable them,” said Maher. Here’s a look at how celebrities have responded to the latest tensions between Israel and Palestine:

In 2023, President Trump denounced Jack Smith as “deranged”. On a Truth Social post, he said Jack Smith should be the one in jail along with his “thug” prosecutors. And considering all that Jack Smith has done, which now includes disclosing a $140,000 “gift” of free legal services, President Trump could end up getting what he wished for. Here’s the full text of the President’s post from July 28, 2023: They ought to throw Deranged Jack Smith and his Thug Prosecutors in jail, with Meritless Garland and Trump Hating Lisa Monaco. They have totally Weaponized the Department of Injustice. Whatever happened to the Crooked Joe Biden Boxes Case? Why was Hillary Clinton allowed to delete 33,000 emails, many of them Classified, AFTER getting a Subpoena from Congress? Why was Bill Clinton allowed to take tapes out of the W.H. in his socks? Why has no other President ever been charged? ELECTION FRAUD! Yes, you heard that right. Jack Smith has disclosed a “gift” of $140K in “gifted legal services” from the democrat-linked (think Eric Holder) legal firm Covington & Burling while he still worked for the DOJ. Embattled ex-special counsel Jack Smith discloses $140K ‘gift’ of free legal services https://t.co/GvriraNlQr pic.twitter.com/5qWDoLQ9DO — New York Post (@nypost) February 16, 2025 The pro-bono legal assistance from Covington & Burling was first reported after Jack Smith filed a disclosure in January as part of his separation from the Department of Justice. The reason Smith sought outside lawyers isn’t known at this point, according to a report in the New York Post: The former special counsel who brought two criminal cases against President Donald Trump received $140,000 in free legal services from a prominent Washington law firm last month. Covington & Burling provided Jack Smith with the gift of pro-bono legal assistance, Politico first reported citing a disclosure he filed last month in connection with him leaving the Justice Department. It’s unclear why Smith sought outside lawyers, but Trump had repeatedly ripped Smith and his team, vowing to fire them and strongly suggesting they should be criminally prosecuted. Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this month directed the Justice Department in a memo to examine its “weaponization” under the Biden administration, specifically, “Special Counsel Jack Smith and his staff who spent more than $50 million targeting President Trump, and the prosecutors and law enforcement personnel who participated in the unprecedented raid on President Trump’s home.” However, there’s been no criminal, civil or legal ethics probe of Smith’s actions. While there has been no disclosure as to the reason for Jack Smith’s outside legal counsel, it shouldn’t be hard to present that general reason. As Jonathan Turley points out, such a “gift” would have needed to be approved in some way by the Department of Justice in order to maintain at least the veil of propriety. And that means a reason for seeking the legal services should exist. Politico reported that Special Counsel Jack Smith received $140,000 in free legal services from Covington & Burling, a firm with strong Democratic ties including partner Eric Holder. If the DOJ approved this arrangement, it should be able to confirm the general purpose… — Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) February 17, 2025 In lieu of that information, we can only speculate the purpose for the outside counsel. There is the fact that Pamela Bondi directed the creation of a working group on her first day at the DOJ with the express purpose of investigating the weaponization of the Justice Department by Jack Smith, according to Politico: Although no criminal, civil or legal ethics probe of Smith’s actions has been announced by the department, she specifically instructed the working group to examine “Weaponization by Special Counsel Jack Smith and his staff who spent more than $50 million targeting President Trump, and the prosecutors and law enforcement personnel who participated in the unprecedented raid on President Trump’s home.” Covington’s representation of Smith was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. In President Joe Biden’s final days in office, there was widespread speculation about whether Biden might pardon Smith and his team. Biden eventually issued preemptive pardons for members of the House Jan. 6 Committee, former National Institutes of Health Director Anthony Fauci and former Joint Chiefs Chair Mark Milley. However, no pardon for DOJ prosecutors was ever issued. Smith has ties to several prominent lawyers at Covington, the law firm with the largest presence in D.C. Covington is also home to a number of other prominent Justice Department officials, including President Barack Obama’s first attorney general, Eric Holder. Another Covington partner, Alan Vinegrad, was the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York during part of Smith’s tenure there and assigned him to prosecute a prominent police abuse case. The Justice Department appears to have approved Smith’s request under an Office of Government Ethics regulation issued in 2023 that allows government employees to set up legal defense funds or take such services for free if the work is related to “the employee’s past or current official position” or to a position on a presidential campaign or transition team. The rule says such arrangements must be cleared by an agency ethics official and reported on an employee’s financial disclosure. While the “gift” doesn’t necessitate wrongdoing or any broken laws, the obvious potential for ethics violations should require answers. As Sean Davis posted, it should not be legal for a law firm with clients and business currently proceeding before the Department of Justice to give $140K in FREE SERVICES to a top DOJ official! Much less a DOJ official whose primary mission is to go after a former President in the running for a 2nd term! How on earth is it legal for a law firm with clients and business before DOJ to provide $140,000 in free gifts to a top DOJ official? DOJ rules and federal regulations explicitly prohibit officials like Jack Smith from accepting or soliciting gifts. Smith, who did not receive a… https://t.co/3Us8VDP7wY pic.twitter.com/cddz3eX7ck — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) February 15, 2025 I have to agree with Bo Loudon — the evidence tampering and Mar-a-Lago raid fiasco were enough to land Jack Smith in prison. But now he has admitted to accepting $140K in “gifted” legal services from a democrat-controlled law firm — while he’s advancing cases against a former President heading for a possible 2nd term? Jack Smith JUST admitted to taking $140,000 in “gifted” legal services. Jack Smith ASLO tampered with evidence & brought incriminating PROPS to the Mar-a-Lago raid. JUST evidence tampering is a third-degree felony, punishable by 2-10 YEARS IN PRISON! Why isn’t Jack in PRISON? pic.twitter.com/LILGfYGPcM — Bo Loudon (@BoLoudon) February 16, 2025 I’m not sure how much more inappropriate you could get in this instance. Jack Smith would have had to have been found sleeping with the witnesses in order to cross any more red lines than this infraction crosses. Enough is enough.  It’s time to investigate fully, bring charges, and jail the man. Jack Smith’s days of targeting political enemies of his friends is over, and this should be the final straw that sets his eventual imprisonment in motion.

A 16 year old boy is lucky to be alive after a harrowing experience deep underground inside an old California gold mine. The teen and a group of friends had explored a horizontal shaft into the side of the mountain in Northern California on Monday, reaching a point about 180 feet inside the mine. That’s when disaster struck, and the teen fell approximately 50 feet into a vertical shaft when his rope snapped. A 16-year-old teen was rescued from a 50-foot deep mine shaft in Northern California on Monday after the rope he was using to climb back out of the hole snapped, according to officials.

The teenager and his friends traveled about 180 feet into the mine shaft and the side of the mountain to explore and rappelled 40 to 50 feet down using a household rope, Cal Fire said. Upon their ascent back, the rope broke, and the victim fell about 30 feet back to the bottom of the shaft. He attempted to free climb his way back up, but “ultimately lost strength and positioned himself in a precarious ledge awaiting rescuers,” officials said. Once crews arrived on the scene, the teen’s friends led rescuers to the victim. The Placer County Technical Rescue Team was able to successfully save the teen using a “lightweight, complex rope system and established air monitoring,” Cal Fire said. It took rescue crews some time to reach the opening of the mine, where they initiated air monitoring and went to work on devising a rope system.

The fallen teen attempted to climb out under his own power, according to the rescuers, but was unable to navigate the steep shaft, according to Fox News: When crews arrived, they were led into the cave by the victim’s friends and learned that he and his friends had entered the shaft to explore, after hiking about 180 feet through a horizontal shaft into the side of a mountain. Using household ropes, the three youths rappelled about 40–50 feet down a vertical shaft. But on their way back up, the rope broke, and the third victim fell about 30 feet down to the bottom of the shaft. Officials said the victim attempted to climb his way out of the shaft but ultimately ran out of strength and positioned himself on a ledge while waiting for rescuers. The primary rescuer from the team then rappelled down to the victim’s location, secured him with a harness, and he was lifted out of the shaft to safety. The identity of the teen has not been released. He was taken to a local trauma center for treatment, but seems to have suffered no serious injuries from his ordeal.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) is making predictions, and I wouldn’t want to be the guy betting against him. The Department of Government Efficiency continues to draw fire and attract negative attention from democrats, RINOs, and the establishment news media. The work of gutting the pork and rooting out the big money corruption that has become commonplace in the federal government has certainly caught the attention of the Washington DC old guard. And according to Rep. Burchett, there’s one good reason: they are guilty, and they know their sins will find them out. Burchett says the instrument of destruction that Congress is worried about isn’t a literal smoking gun or bloody glove. It’s a paper trail of money leading back to the members of Congress who are complicit in unscrupulous (and illegal) use of their positions to enrich their own pocketbooks. There are actually two different paper trails, according to Burchett. First, there’s the paper trail leading back from our overseas aid, which he says leads right back to the pockets of Congressmen. BREAKING: Rep. Tim Burchett says he thinks there’s a “paper trail” of money that was sent overseas that ended up back in the pockets of lawmakers in Washington D.C. He said there will soon be a lot of retirements. What’s your response? pic.twitter.com/2Zo3bqAU2C — JD Vance News (@JDVanceNewsX) February 18, 2025 To cover that angle, here’s a clip of Rep. Burchett on Fox News talking about the theft that has gone on under the nose of the American taxpayer. Democrats are terrified of @elonmusk and @doge because all of the graft comes back to Washington, D.C. when you follow the paper trail. They’ve been stealing, funding themselves along with our enemies, and now they’ve been caught.@ShawnRyan762@realLegendAfg pic.twitter.com/76Aw0KZZin — Rep. Tim Burchett (@RepTimBurchett) February 17, 2025 That ‘paper trail’ that Rep. Burchett talks about in this case is going to be the trackable deposits that don’t match with the rest of a Congressman’s financial circumstances. Several months ago we brought you the story of Piotr Kulpa, an Ex Polish Deputy Minister who was blowing the whistle on exactly what Burchett is talking about. Kulpa claimed that a large amount of the aid sent from the U.S. to Ukraine turned around and came back to democratic officials in the form of kickbacks. He believed that up to half of all the aid money sent had been returned to democratic officials in the U.S. If true, that would make the Ukraine war and the American aid campaign the largest money laundering operation in history. European Official: Up To 50% of Ukraine Aid Stolen, Large Amount Siphoned back to U.S. Democrats (Elon Musk Investigating) That could explain why the democrats are exceedingly rabid about DOGE's work, when it makes them look exceptionally bad -- as if they're covering something up -- to play that card so often. Maxine Waters is now seeking a "throwdown" against @ElonMusk. "Elon Musk, where are you?! Bring your ass over here!...We're not afraid of you...He's a thief! He's a gangsta!" The Democrats have lost their marbles.pic.twitter.com/0yskR6mvOc — Kyle Becker (@kylenabecker) February 11, 2025 But according to Rep. Burchett, that's only half the story. There is a secondary 'paper trail' that leads back to the Congressmen who have gotten away with this corruption for far too long. Burchett is expecting to see a flurry of retirements out of Washington DC as the other 'paper trail' is exposed. So-called "no work jobs" are apparently being arranged by Congressmen through the power associated with their positions in which wives or girlfriends are employed by groups directly funded or controlled by Congress. This "no work government jobs" scam isn't new, according to a report from Raw Story: DOGE, said Burchett, "shows that every department is corrupt and you're going to see the money where it flows back to, and it goes right out of the American taxpayer's pocket into the back pocket of politicians in Washington." "You're going to see congressmen ... that's who will start pitching a fit," Burchett continued. "You'll pay these guys in these committees start because they have a wife and or girlfriend that works for one of these companies or groups that is funded through one of these other government agencies. And they're going to pitch a fit. We found them in the past, they've been funneling money into campaigns and things like that." Members of Congress giving no-work government jobs to romantic partners is not without precedent. Last year, former Rep. Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY) lost re-election after reports emerged he added his mistress to congressional payroll, where she drew a $2,000-a-month salary in likely violation of House ethics rules. I wonder how many of these Congressmen getting loud and obnoxious over DOGE's work are actually motivated far more by covering up their own secrets than the "privacy" concerns they have latched on to. Here's another clip of Rep. Burchett talking about this corrupt system when News Nation interviewed him recently: It does seems as though the democrats are devoid of any true point of contention worthy of putting up a true fight against DOGE. And I don't think that's just because President Trump and Elon Musk devised a well thought out plan. That has never stopped the democrats from coming after Republicans before! But for some reason, the democrats are almost exclusively using the "but, the privacy!" argument. Which coupled with their extreme rhetoric lately about how they want to clamp down on censorship and weaponize AI in order to snoop and control American citizens (for our safety, or course)... seems like a completely mismatched argument for the democrats to use. But they keep resorting to that same old tactic and argument. Could it be... that's all they have, and they're laying the groundwork for pushing back after their secrets are found out... using a "muh privacy" argument in court?  Maybe. Just look at this legal attack designed to put DOGE in the crosshairs, and legally tie the team up -- in order to halt the investigations that are STOPPING GOVERNMENT WASTE AND CORRUPTION. It takes some serious political guts to openly stand in the way cutting wasteful spending and curbing corruption. You wouldn't think democrats would want to be anywhere near being painted as PRO-WASTE or PRO-CORRUPTION. But that is the extreme political risk they are taking.  WHY??? Could it be... to protect those paper trails Rep. Burchett is warning us about? Are those paper trails so damning that it would be far better to halt their exposure and look like a wasteful corrupt politician... than be found out and PROVEN to be one? Musk is acting like he runs the U.S. government—but the Constitution does not allow an unelected super-president We’re taking him & DOGE to court to impose consequences I’ll discuss tonight at 6PM ET on @MSNBC w/ @CapehartJ pic.twitter.com/5FlSvnMRCY — Norm Eisen (#TryingTrump out now!) (@NormEisen) February 16, 2025 Rep. Burchett has made his prognostications. Will there be an uptick in Congressional and Deep State retirees soon?  I wouldn't doubt it. And I wouldn't doubt the Congressman on the other point, either -- there is good reason to believe those "no work jobs" are being passed around just like they always have been. If anything, the excessive corruption and financial burdens created by the Biden-Harris White House would have created an increased motive and opportunity for those in power to use their positions in just this manner. Rep. Burchett's forecast may not come true; he doesn't have a crystal ball or purport to have any remote viewing capabilities. But if there's one thing I know... it's that the combination of hard earned experience and gut-level intuition is combination that is tough to beat. Rep. Burchett has quite a bit of insight into these matters, and has shown a decent amount of intuitive understanding during the course of his time in the Congress. As I began this article, so I'll end it -- I simply wouldn't want to be the guy betting against Tim Burchett. And considering how much corruption has already been uncovered in these first few short weeks of DOGE investigations... I wouldn't want to be the guy betting on the righteousness of the U.S. Congress, either.  

The Sheriff of Riverside County, California has thrown his hat into the ring to replace Gavin Newsom in 2026. And in so doing, Chad Bianco becomes the first Republican to challenge a potential Kamala Harris campaign for Governor. While Bianco comes out as a tough-on-crime supporter of President Trump, there may be more to the Sheriff worth examining. HAT IN THE RING: Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a vocal critic of Gov. Newsom, announced his candidacy for California governor saying, “We want sanity restored and common sense to prevail.” https://t.co/aRNHXIgGdD pic.twitter.com/DAO8crgwzW — Fox News (@FoxNews) February 17, 2025 A lot of what Sheriff Bianco has said falls right in line with the common-sense approach to conservative principles that President Trump has so deftly mastered. He announced his campaign Monday at an event outside of Los Angeles with an emphasis on the economic troubles California has faced at the hands of democratic leadership, according to a report from Fox News: A tough-on-crime Republican sheriff who was a supporter of President Donald Trump in last year’s election on Monday launched a campaign for California governor. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco announced his candidacy at an event Monday in Riverside, California, about 50 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, in the 2026 race to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. “As Californians we want leadership that actually cares about the cost of living …and leaders who will do something about it,” Bianco said in his address, according to prepared excerpts. He emphasized that “we want homes we can afford. We want air conditioning when it’s hot, not rolling blackouts. We want water for the crops and animals that feed us. We want the opportunity to achieve the California Dream, not be prevented from it because of red tape and regulation from government. We want honesty and transparency from our elected officials. We want lower taxes and less government waste. We want sanity restored and common sense to prevail.” Bianco, a vocal critic of Newsom and other state Democratic leaders when it comes to the issues of crime and punishment, was one of the leaders who helped push California’s Proposition 36 ballot measure to a landslide victory in last November’s elections. The measure, which took effect in December, mandates stiffer penalties and longer sentences in California for certain drug and theft crimes. Sheriff Bianco made the announcement to a crowd of supporters, stating that California has gone down the wrong track. Here’s a clip showing the moment he announced his candidacy: BREAKING : Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco officially announces he is running for California Governor for 2026. He was joined today by state legislators like Leticia Castillo and Bill Essayli, and many grass root organizers, law enforcement, tribal leaders, and more. pic.twitter.com/R4rhKYUOFO — Anthony (@AnthonyCabassa_) February 17, 2025 In June of 2024, Sheriff Bianco posted a video stating his open support for President Trump’s election campaign.

He posted this video, teasing that he was “changing teams” to put a felon in the White House: Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco explains why he’s “changing teams” and supporting Trump 2024: pic.twitter.com/4CfMef5BLs — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) June 1, 2024 Sheriff Bianco’s presence in the race for the Governorship of California could present one of the staunchest challenges to a potential run by Kamala Harris. Just four days ago a new poll of California voters revealed that voters prefer Kamala Harris over all other potential Democrats to become the next Governor, according to a Newsweek story: Former Vice President Kamala Harris holds an early lead among Democratic voters if she chooses to run in the 2026 California gubernatorial race, according to a new poll. Harris, who has served California as a district attorney, attorney general and in the U.S. Senate, has not made her next moves clear after losing the White House race to President Donald Trump. While some have floated her as possibly making another presidential bid in 2028, others believe she would be a strong candidate to replace Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, who will be term limited after 2026. An Emerson College poll, conducted among 469 registered voters on February 11, showed Harris with more support than other possible Democratic candidates in the gubernatorial race. Harris was backed by 57 percent of respondents in the survey, large lead over other potential Democratic contenders. Former Representative Katie Porter placed second in the poll at 9 percent, while former state Assembly Speaker Antonio Villaraigosa received 4 percent. While the poll reveals possible Democratic support for Harris if she chooses to run and shows other Democrats may have an uphill battle to win over the base against the former vice president, it notably did not include candidates of other parties. California has a nonpartisan primary system for statewide races, so it’s unclear how other voters could change the state of the race. However, there are issues that even pro-Trump Republicans might not be comfortable with concerning the Sheriff. For one thing, he has touted being hard on crime, but has even recently pushed back against President Trump’s immigration policy, and ICE raids to deport illegals. Just this past month, Bianco posted this to his X account, leading to a YouTube video announcing his position on President Trump’s deportations. I’ll post the YouTube video below the post: Message from Sheriff Bianco on Immigration.https://t.co/gNOh8uYfna pic.twitter.com/UnSg4ITbOP — Riverside County Sheriff (@RSO) February 7, 2025 Besides that, he was at the heart of what many still consider a possible “fake” assassination attempt on President Trump while campaigning last year in California, as The National Pulse reported: Bianco, who has served as sheriff since 2019, has paid lip service in opposition to California’s sanctuary state policies. In a 2023 Fox 11 interview, he stated that he would work around Senate Bill 54, which stymies law enforcement from engaging in deportations. However, on February 7, 2025, Bianco released a video addressing concerns about immigration enforcement, in which he stated that his deputies “have not, are not and will not engage in any type of immigration enforcement.” He claimed this responsibility lies solely with federal authorities, and criticized what he described as “misinformation” regarding his department’s role in such operations. This statement came as agencies directed by President Trump reported a sharp rise in arrests in California. In a separate controversy, Bianco has come under scrutiny regarding the recent arrest of Vem Miller, a pro-Trump independent journalist, near a Trump rally in Coachella Valley. Miller, a known supporter of former President Donald Trump and founder of the America Happens Network, was detained on weapons charges, with Bianco and his office publicly claiming, with no evidence, that they had stopped a third assassination attempt against President Trump. In reality, Miller was a gun-owning Trump supporter who simply had his weapons stored in his car, parked in a parking lot, close to the Trump rally that took place in October 2024. Miller has carried firearms due to his receipt of death threats for being a pro-Trump reporter. Miller dismissed Bianco’s claims that he was associated with anti-government groups. Both the FBI and Secret Service have declined to pursue federal charges against Miller, confirming that they do not consider him a security threat. Miller is now suing over the matter. There is also the issue of Black Lives Matter, which Sheriff Bianco was very comfortable with. In the official capacity of Sheriff, he and his deputies joined together with Black Lives Matter protesters in Riverside, stating emphatically that they stood with the organization. Black Lives Matter is nothing but a shell organization from which Soros-funded paid protestors could foment civil unrest in the United States to weaken the United States from within. Sheriff Bianco backed BLM, and I’m not sure most of MAGA is willing to forget it. Here’s a clip of the protests, including Sheriff Bianco talking to the crowds, and eventually kneeling alongside Black Lives Matter protestors: Here’s a still screen capture from that video with Sheriff Bianco kneeling alongside BLM, if you didn’t watch the full clip: While Sheriff Bianco could turn out to be just the man for the job of turning California around, and away from the failed policies of democrats… It remains to be seen if Trump-Republicans are willing to forgive him for so many questionable positions on some of the most serious issues currently facing America. But this turn of events is certain to give Kamala Harris a new set of data points to consider as she weighs her next steps.

Leave it to the fake news media for using a disaster that happened in another country to attack President Trump… After the horrific Delta plane crash earlier today, NBC News reporter Tom Costello attempt to shift blame onto President Trump. Costello claimed that the recent “string” of plane crashes raises “concern about FAA staffing.” He went on to say, “As you know, there has been talk about maybe staff cuts at the FAA as a part of President Trump’s effort to trim down the federal workforce,” and that the staff cuts are “going to feed into all of these recent incidents.” Just, wow. Newsflash, Tom: this happened in Canada. Which isn’t part of America or under President Trump’s or the FAA’s jurisdiction…at least, not yet… Just watch for yourself: NBC News attempts to blame President Trump for Toronto plane crash due to FAA cuts.

On Monday afternoon, a Delta plane crash-landed at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport after flying from Minneapolis to Toronto. The aircraft, a Bombardier CR900, carrying 80 people, flipped and appeared to land upside down shortly before 3pm. Miraculously, everyone on board survived. At least 15 people have been taken to the hospital. Shortly after news of the frightening incident was shared, Costello, a senior correspondent, said that the ‘string’ of recent plane crashes will ‘yet again raise the concern about FAA staffing.’ ‘Now, this is a Canadian air traffic control tower, and this is under Canadian authority once it crosses the border, and yet, as you know there has been talk about maybe staff cuts at the FAA as a part of President Trump’s effort to trim down the federal workforce,’ Costello continued. He then went on to contradict what he said, adding: ‘At yet, as you also know, the FAA has been complaining for years that they are understaffed in critical job positions, especially air traffic control. ‘I was having a conversation with somebody today about whether air traffic control in America has been affected by the staff cuts – so far not to their knowledge,’ Costello said, adding that ‘this is going to feed into all of these recent incidents.’ On Monday, the Trump administration started firing hundreds of workers at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Another clip from Sean Hannity’s upcoming interview with President Trump and Elon Musk just dropped. In it, Elon Musk breaks down the notorious Trump Derangement Syndrome, noting how he didn’t realize it was a real thing until he saw it for himself. He then opened up about his experience with witnessing TDS first-hand at a friend’s dinner party. “I happened to mention the president’s name and it was like they got shot with a dart in the jugular that contained like methamphetamine and rabies,” he explained, very accurately.

It’s like they’ve become completely irrational,” he told Fox News host Sean Hannity. Musk and Trump sat down for a wide-ranging interview last week at the White House, where they discussed the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) work, the first 100 days of the Trump administration and more. It marks the duo’s first joint television interview. The full Sean Hannity interview will be released tomorrow, Tuesday, February 18th at 9 PM EST. It will be President Trump and Elon Musk’s first sit-down interview together. Are you excited to tune in?

And, another one bites the dust… Rhode Island U.S. Attorney Zachary Cunha had just resigned. Originally appointed by Joe Biden, Cunha was notified by the White House that President Trump was ordering him to step down. He officially complied with that request today. Take a look at the breaking news: #BREAKING: Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Cunha just resigned at the orders of President Donald Trump.

Cunha announced today that he has stepped down from his position as United States Attorney for the District of Rhode Island, effective immediately, after receiving notification from the White House that the President has directed him to do so.  Mr. Cunha previously tendered a letter of resignation to the President and the Attorney General on February 7, 2025, in which he indicated his intent to leave office at the end of this week. U.S. Attorney Cunha made the following statement: I am deeply grateful to Senators Reed and Whitehouse for recommending my nomination to the White House, and to President Biden for his trust and confidence in appointing me to serve this extraordinary District and its citizens as United States Attorney. I have worked hard every day to live up to the example of excellence set by my thirty-eight distinguished predecessors over the 235-year history of this Office, and it has been the honor of my career to do this job. Over the three years that I have had the high privilege to serve as U.S. Attorney, it has been my constant goal to make sure that the work of this District punched far above the weight that our compact geography and small staff might imply. By every measure, the men and women of this Office have met that goal, again and again, across every category in which we prosecute and litigate on behalf of the people of the Ocean State. The Boston Globe has more: Zachary Cunha has resigned as US attorney for Rhode Island at the direction of the White House, his office announced Monday. Cunha, who was nominated by President Biden to be US attorney in 2021, was not expected to stay on under President Trump. He was the final US attorney from New England to leave, after Maine’s US Attorney Darcie McElwee was terminated earlier Monday. A spokesperson said Cunha submitted a resignation letter to the Trump administration on Feb. 7 indicating he would step down at the end of this week. The White House notification came Monday. It’s customary for new administrations to replace US attorneys… It was not immediately clear who Trump plans to name as the top federal prosecutor for Rhode Island, but multiple lawyers have expressed interest, including former Rhode Island Supreme Court Justice Robert G. Flanders Jr.   Meanwhile, President Trump is beginning to nominate his own U.S. Attorneys… Just today, he selected Acting D.C. U.S. Attorney to the “full and permanent term” of U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Here’s his Truth Social post on the pick: It remains to be seen who President Trump will tap to fulfill Cunha’s empty role, but I have a feeling we are going to find out very soon. And, you can bet it will be a judge dedicated to helping President Trump fulfill his mandate to the American people!

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has just announced a formal, long overdue investigation into Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. As you recall, Joe Biden’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 led to the loss of 13 service members’ lives, as well as hundreds of other Americans being left behind. Up until now, no generals have been held responsible or fired over the disastrous failure. But, it looks like that is going to change soon… Check it out: BREAKING: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announces an investigation into the disastrous Afghanistan Withdrawl.

(@pr0ud_americans) February 18, 2025 JUST IN: Pete Hegseth has lauched a full-scale investigation into the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster. All the generals involved should lose their ranks and get dishonorably discharged. — George (@BehizyTweets) February 18, 2025 Breitbart has the exclusive scoop: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that he has already picked investigators who will look into the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. “We’ve already identified folks that’ll be in charge of that full investigation inside the Pentagon,” Hegseth said in the interview Thursday. “I don’t have a timeframe on it. Sadly, we’ve already waited two-and-a-half years, three years since what occurred. I don’t want to wait longer, but I always want to get it right,” he said… Hegseth said accountability is coming. “The way you establish real accountability is by establishing real fact chains — chains of events, information, what happened. Why did it happen? Who made the decision? What was the reason they made that decision? Why did they give advice or not give advice? Why did they execute an order a certain way? Did they speak up when they were supposed to or not? I don’t think there’s anybody that feels like there’s been an honest accounting of what happened in Afghanistan. That’s our job,” he said. “So, we’re going to drive that full investigation and get a sense of what happened. And as I stated to the workforce on Friday, I guess less than a week ago, accountability will be coming for what happened in Afghanistan, and that’s important to reestablishing trust at the Defense Department,” he added.

The acting Director of the Social Security Administration has been attempting to block DOGE from exposing fraud schemes by limiting access to the payment systems of the federal agency. News just broke that Michelle King has resigned her position as Director, and has already been replaced. King had reportedly worked at the Social Security Administration since 1994 — 30 years — only to end her career in an attempt to prevent President Trump from ending the corruption and waste of the federal government. TOP SOCIAL SECURITY CHIEF OUSTED AFTER BLOCKING DOGE’S FRAUD INVESTIGATION Acting Commissioner Michelle King exits after refusing to give @DOGE access to agency records needed to investigate potential fraud. She’s replaced by Leland Dudek, who previously praised DOGE’s… https://t.co/y2ECakakF8 pic.twitter.com/CwQGuWv8jw — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) February 18, 2025 King refused to provide the DOGE team with access to the information necessary to continue their investigation into the corruption already uncovered. Bureaucrats within the system are panicking with the news of King’s resignation. Once such bureaucrat who heads an advocacy group for the preservation of Social Security benefits is in full melt down because DOGE is getting the access they need to complete their investigation into Social Security fraud, according to a report by the Associated Press: The Social Security Administration ‘s acting commissioner has stepped down from her role at the agency over Department of Government Efficiency requests to access Social Security recipient information, according to two people familiar with the official’s departure who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. Acting Commissioner Michelle King’s departure from the agency over the weekend — after more than 30 years of service — was initiated after King refused to provide DOGE staffers at the SSA with access to sensitive information, the people said Monday. The White House has replaced her as acting commissioner with Leland Dudek, who currently works at the SSA, the people said. White House spokesperson Harrison Fields released a statement Monday night saying: “President Trump has nominated the highly qualified and talented Frank Bisignano to lead the Social Security Administration, and we expect him to be swiftly confirmed in the coming weeks. In the meantime, the agency will be led by a career Social Security anti-fraud expert as the acting commissioner.” Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works, an advocacy group for the preservation of Social Security benefits, said of DOGE’s efforts that “there is no way to overstate how serious a breach this is. And my understanding is that it has already occurred.” “The information collected and securely held by the Social Security Administration is highly sensitive,” she said. “SSA has data on everyone who has a Social Security number, which is virtually all Americans, everyone who has Medicare, and every low-income American who has applied for Social Security’s means-tested companion program, Supplemental Security Income.” “If there is an evil intent to punish perceived enemies, someone could erase your earnings record, making it impossible to collect the Social Security and Medicare benefits you have earned.” Just the fact that these Deep State actors are constantly worried that someone might weaponize the system if they have too much access… Tells me that these people have been weaponizing the system for years. They are simply too quick to point to THAT SPECIFIC concern, across the board. Why else would these people throw away careers spanning decades on some flimsy show of resistance to President Trump’s legitimate use of Executive authority to CLEAN UP the corruption and mismanagement going on? These people are close enough to the situation to know that DOGE has all the clearance and authority of the Executive Branch to do what they are doing. They KNOW that the “but muh privacy!” argument is ridiculous — SOMEONE HAS to handle that information; they do it every day. But they use it anyway, choosing to let their careers “die” on that hill — knowing there is not anything technically improper going on. Why? BREAKING: The Head of the Social Security Administration just RESIGNED after Elon Musk called her out on the FRAUD within the SSA she turned a blind eye to. https://t.co/vt34fkwtxN — Mila Joy (@MilaLovesJoe) February 18, 2025 Allow me to offer up my simple theory — they know exactly how bad the situation really is, they have known all along, and they are culpable. And they are desperate to find some position of perceived moral high ground from which to paint themselves as the good guys, rather than the VERY PEOPLE WHO FACILITATED THIS CORRUPTION! Check out this clip from Fox News with the White House Deputy Chief of Staff of Policy talking about the exact same scenario that played out in the IRS that is playing out in the Social Security Administration now. These people KNOW about the fraud and theft going on, in the IRS and now in the Social Security Administration, and they are attempting to stop it from being uncovered just like they did in the IRS: Watch the latest video at foxnews.com DOGE is directly investigating the wasted taxpayer money via the Social Security Administration. And people like Michelle King who have been part of that system for decades are TERRIFIED that the waste and corruption that happened on her watch for years… will be discovered and exposed to public scrutiny. Elon already discovered enough corruption in the SS system to post some ridiculous numbers online, according to a report in the Daily Mail: The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is investigating wasted taxpayer money as a matter of urgency after Donald Trump promised voters huge savings at the federal government. Musk posted a chart on X showing that there are more than 20 million Americans listed over the age of 100, including 3.9 million in the 130-139 range, more than 3.5 million aged 140-149 and more than 1.3 million in the range 150-159. There is even an ‘alive’ citizen aged over 360, according to the records. The billionaire Tesla boss wrote: ‘According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE! Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security.’ The White House is doubling down on President Trump’s intent that DOGE identify and end the corruption through federal agencies like the Social Security Administration. Here’s the White House Press Secretary earlier today on Fox News calling out the lies of the legacy news media: .@PressSec: “President Trump has directed Elon Musk and the DOGE team to identify fraud at the Social Security Administration… They suspect that there are tens of millions of deceased people receiving fraudulent Social Security payments.” pic.twitter.com/uRkCUTwbQD — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) February 18, 2025 And Elon Musk is to the point that he is making fun of those who push back against his attempts to get at the heart of the problem. Here’s the chart the Daily Mail story referenced, along with a Twilight comment about the possibility of vampires collecting Social Security! According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE! Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security pic.twitter.com/ltb06VX98Z — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 17, 2025 My guess is, the level of waste and corruption that Elon Musk’s team is seeing on an hourly basis is enough to make you want to laugh to keep from crying. I just hope they don’t give up the fight. There is more corruption and more wasteful spending where that came from. We’re only three weeks in to this attempt to right the ship. Things are looking better — but we’re not there, yet. In fact, my guess is there are rocks ahead.  And it’s going to take a steady hand and determination to see this through once the democrats are able to catch their breath and attempt to weaponize the system as they have in the past. Hopefully, this time, the rope they attempt to use for their traps will end up being just long enough to catch them in the act — with proof. It’s time we started seeing more than line item deletions of the waste and fraud. I’m ready to see prison time for those culpable for this crime against the American people, and I have a feeling we’re going to get to see that happen before all is said and done.
