FBI and DOJ Coordinated with White House on Secretive ‘Arctic Frost’ Surveillance of Trump Associates

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News Evidence continues to emerge showing the top levels of the Biden Administration involved in the investigations into once-and-future rival Donald Trump. Members of the Biden White House and leaders at the Biden-era Justice Department and FBI were all involved in efforts linked to the launch of the Arctic Frost investigation which targeted then-former President Donald Trump and MAGA World over the events surrounding January 6, 2021. Recently-declassified revelations related to the FBI’s “Arctic Frost” investigation chronicle the 2022 lawfare assault against then-former President Donald Trump and MAGA world, as criminal inquiries — which would soon lead to criminal charges — spun into high gear as Trump leaned toward running for p...

Judge Demands Big Tech CEOs Explain Role in Algorithmic Censorship Push

By Dan Frieth | Reclaim The Net For the first time, design choices, not just direct speech, are being treated as moral acts in a court of law. Three of the tech industry’s most recognizable leaders, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Evan Spiegel of Snap, and Adam Mosseri of Instagram, will be required to testify in court early next year. The order came from Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carolyn Kuhl, who ruled that their participation is essential in a lawsuit alleging that social media platforms were deliberately designed to harm young users’ mental health. Attorneys for the companies had tried to prevent the CEOs from appearing, arguing that earlier depositions and other executive testimonies already provided sufficient information. Judge Kuhl disagreed, stating, “The testimon...

Justices to Rule on Whether Drug Use Voids the Right to Bear Arms

By Zach Schonfeld | FOX21 The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to take up whether a federal crime that bans gun possession for drug users is constitutional. At the Trump administration’s urging, the justices will wade into this issue this term, making it the latest front in the battle over the Second Amendment. A decision is expected by next summer.  “This is the archetypal case for this Court’s review,” Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in court filings.  Federal law prohibits anyone “who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance” from possessing a firearm. Violations carry up to 10 years in prison.   The charge is prosecuted regularly. U.S. Circuit Judge Stephen Higginson, an appointee of former President Obama, recently noted in ...

Colorado Democrats joined together to sign a letter calling for the U.S. Department of Energy to restore over $600 million in funding for 38 Colorado-affiliated energy projects. In the letter, Colorado's U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, and Colorado U.S. Reps. Joe Neguse, Diana DeGette, Jason Crow and Brittany Pettersen argue the cuts are harmful to the state. “By cancelling over $600 million in energy-sector funding, much of which directly supported grid reliability, DOE is making it more di...

Jack Smith’s failed crusade: How DOJ overreach fueled Trump’s comeback

By Julie Kelly | Commentary, Declassified Substack John Lauro, the president's criminal defense attorney in the January 6 case, describes his experience with Special Counsel Jack Smith and his henchmen in response to Smith's recent publicity tour. In the summer of 2023, John Lauro—a New York-based defense attorney at the time representing Donald Trump related to the events of January 6—met the government prosecutors leading the criminal investigation into his client. For nearly two hours that day, Lauro spoke to Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team in response to Smith’s target letter notifying the former president that he may face charges for his attempts to “overturn the 2020 election.” Lauro and Todd Blanche, currently the deputy attorney general, tried to dissuade Smith...

Report: Jan. 6 Committee’s Massive Data Sweep Targeted Conservatives and Trump Allies

By John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News More details continue to emerge about the collusion between Democrats in Congress and Biden's weaponized DOJ in targeting Trump. Congressional investigators collected a stunning 30 million lines of phone data mapping contacts between conservatives and the Trump White House in the name of investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, a massive dragnet that raises civil liberty concerns about the lack of limits on the ability of lawmakers to snoop on Americans' private phone calls.    The mountainous collection of phone records were revealed to the FBI led by Chris Wray in late 2023 by former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a GOP member on the Democrat-run House Jan. 6 select committee. The cache was offered to the bureau on the eve of th...

The price and pieces of peace: How Trump’s approach worked where others failed

By Victor Davis Hanson | Commentary, American Greatness Trump’s unorthodox mix of pressure, power, and pragmatism shattered old diplomatic molds—delivering a rare moment of calm to the world’s most combustible region. What did Donald Trump do differently to obtain at least temporary calm in the Middle East compared to the failed efforts of past administrations, foreign powers, and the United Nations? Let us count ten different approaches. 1. Trump curtailed a considerable amount of Iranian oil income and its dispersal. He stopped, for the near future, the Iranian effort to build a bomb. Trump also allowed Israel to destroy Tehran’s air defenses, humiliate it militarily, and eliminate many of its top military officers and nuclear physicists. Thus, Israel’s half-century-long worries...

‘A New Era of Peace’: Trump’s Powerful Knesset Speech Draws Global Attention

By Leah Barkoukis | Townhall Israeli officials heaped effusive praise on President Trump ahead of his Knesset speech on Monday, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling him “the greatest friend the State of Israel has ever had in the White House” as cheers of “Trump” broke out among attendees.   https://twitter.com/ThePatriotOasis/status/1977684259558285817 https://twitter.com/KatiePavlich/status/1977693302552989979 Trump, for his part, delivered a powerful message of peace, strength, and hope as the war-torn region enters what he called a “historic dawn.” But he first acknowledged the work to get to this point by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, among others.

Pam Bondi Turns the Tables on Senate Democrats in Fiery Judiciary Hearing

By Matt Vespa | Commentary, Townhall Attorney General Pam Bondi came out swinging today during her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Democrats' plan was clear from the start: to distract and divert from their government shutdown, lawlessness in cities, rogue judges, and the death and destruction Joe Biden's open border policies unleashed. Pam Bondi was having none of it and continuously brought the conversation back to what Democrats tried to avoid. It’s one of those things: Democrats need to shift the focus on who’s to blame to mask their incompetence. She came prepared, bringing a gun to the Democrats’ knife fight. When liberal media reporters admit that she was cooking Democrats, you know it’s bad. Before we get to her taking these clowns to the cleaners, let’s ...

Two years later: Evidence shows U.S. and Israel missed warning signs before Oct. 7 Hamas attack

By Steven Richards | Just the News The Pentagon on Biden's watch confirmed that the U.S. was "not aware" of the terrorist group’s plan to attack Israeli civilians, despite the prior warning signs in the months and years before the murderous plan. Two years after the deadly terrorist attack on Israel by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, the prospects for peace, by the account of the U.S. President Donald Trump and a coterie of Arab states, seem higher than ever.  But, a key question about the spark that ignited the conflict remains unanswered: How did U.S. intelligence miss the warning signs of an imminent attack by Hamas? In the days before the killers spilled over the Gaza border in cars and skydiving to invade Israeli villages for the purposes of raping and mutilating ci...
