Wright: My old CIA boss John Brennan used intelligence to sabotage a president, imprison him

By Bryan Dean Wright | Commentary, Fox News Five key details emerge about how intelligence was allegedly manipulated to undermine Trump's presidency Former CIA Director John Brennan was once my boss. Given what we just learned in a shocking new report about his role in the Trump Russia hysteria, he should be in prison. Here’s why. The CIA released fresh details yesterday about the creation nearly 10 years ago of the agency’s Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) of Russia's influence campaign in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It found that Russian President Vladimir Putin "aspired" to help then-candidate Donald Trump win the election. That assessment – ordered by then-President Barack Obama and executed by Brennan – ignited the Trump-Russia hoax...

Anderson: Biden’s damaging open-border doctrine, by the numbers

By Jeffrey H. Anderson | Commentary, Real Clear Politics Most mainstream press accounts have largely ignored one obvious source of the Los Angeles riots – namely, that the Biden administration released more than enough illegal aliens into this country to populate a wholly new Los Angeles. In the aftermath of those riots, it’s an appropriate time to ask this question: How many illegal aliens did the Biden administration actually let into the United States? According to the Congressional Budget Office, during the four years from 2021 through 2024, a net 10.3 million people immigrated to the U.S. That figure reflects the number of (legal or illegal) immigrants who entered the U.S., minus the number who left. As a result of this huge immigration influx, the portion of the U.S. ...

ICE arrests terror-linked Iranian nationals amid growing threat of sleeper cells

By Cameron Arcand , Brooke Taylor | Fox News Officials tout being 'full throttle on identifying and arresting known or suspected terrorists' as Iran sleeper cell threat looms EXCLUSIVE: At least five more Iranian nationals were arrested on Monday in addition to the 11 announced by the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday morning. On Monday, 45-year-old Mohammad Hassanpoor was arrested by officers in Baltimore and given a "Third County Notice."

Joondeph: Is MAGA Still on Track After the Escalator Ride 10 Years Ago?

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Businessman and T.V. personality Donald Trump descended the golden escalator at Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan on June 16, 2015 to announce his bid to become president of the United States.  Trump was seen as a novelty candidate, running mainly to boost his ego and promote The Apprentice or his next entertainment project. His polling before the ride was weak. Monmouth University showed Trump at 2%, tied with Carly Fiorina and Lindsey Graham, ahead of only Bobby Jindal and John Kasich. He trailed the rest of the field, including Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Jeb Bush, and Ben Carson.  But two months later, in August 2015, the same poll showed Trump with a 26% lead in the Rep...

DHS Warns Polis, Governors of Terror Threat After U.S. Hits Iran

By: Heather Willard | KDVR FOX31 DENVER (KDVR) — The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a national terrorism bulletin Sunday warning of possible cyber attacks and violence, including antisemitic hate crimes, following U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said that he, alongside other governors, was briefed by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem about the bulletin on Sunday. Colorado officials react to U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear sites “The State of Colorado is not aware of any Colorado-specific threats at this time. I have directed our state to coordinate closely with local and federal partners to protect our safety by monitoring and tracking any potential threats to Coloradans and our state’s infrastructure and military assets,” Polis wrote on Fa...

DHS warns Americans to stay alert after Trump-backed strikes hit Iran nuke sites

By Kanishka Singh | Reuters via Denver Gazette WASHINGTON (Reuters) -An advisory from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned on Sunday of a "heightened threat environment in the United States" following overnight U.S. military strikes on Iran's nuclear sites. Rights advocates have already noted heightened Islamophobia and antisemitism in the U.S. since the start of U.S. ally Israel's war in Gaza following an October 2023 attack by Palestinian militant group Hamas. The DHS issued Sunday's bulletin through its National Terrorism Advisory System and said the ongoing Iran conflict was causing the heightened threat environment. Low-level cyber attacks against U.S. networks by "pro-Iranian hacktivists" are likely, the bulletin said, adding cyber actors affiliated with Iran's...

Free Press editorial board: Trump Drops the Hammer on Iran, Keeps His Word

By The Free Press editorial board | Commentary, The Free Press President Trump promised he would never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Last night, with seven B-2 bombers and a dozen 30,000-pound bombs, he made good on that vow. The world is better off for it. Trump announced Saturday evening that the U.S. had completed a “spectacularly successful” strike on Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites at Natanz, Esfahan, and Fordow. The last of those is a heavily fortified facility buried some 300 feet deep in a mountain in Iran’s Qom Province. Although Israel has bunker busting bombs, none have the size and destructive power of the most advanced American bombs, with the capability of destroying or severely damaging the site. In a moment of political decisiveness and courage, Trump deploy...

Terror Risks Ignored as Over 700 Iranian Nationals Set Loose in America

By Greg Wehner , Bill Melugin | Fox News Trump's decisive action against Iran raises alarm about security risks following Biden's release of 729 special interest aliens. Over 1,500 Iranian nationals who illegally entered the U.S. at the southern border were arrested during the Biden administration, and nearly 50% of them were released back into the country, according to a senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) source. More specifically, Border Patrol agents arrested 1,504 Iranian nationals from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2024. Of the 1,504 individuals who were arrested, 729 were released into the U.S. The number of Iranian nationals arrested at the southern border increased year-to-year, with 48 being arrested in FY21; 197 in FY22; 462 in FY23 and 797 in FY24...

Garbo: If true, it’s the greatest violation of American sovereignty in modern history

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice According to new reports, the FBI has obtained intelligence confirming that China has produced and distributed fake U.S. driver’s licenses to facilitate fraudulent mail-in ballot voting. Let that sink in. If true, this is not just foreign interference in our elections; it is a coordinated attack on American sovereignty. And the gravity of such a revelation cannot be overstated. This would represent not only a betrayal by a foreign adversary but a failure, or worse, a complicity within our own institutions. What’s worse is the possibility that this operation didn’t occur in a vacuum. It may have been aided, ignored, or tolerated by political actors here at home. If so, we’re not just looking at corruption. We’re looking at tre...

Fake IDs, Mail-In Ballots and the CCP: New FBI Files Spark Questions

By John Solomon | Just the News FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday evening turned over to Congress an intelligence report raising concerns that China had mass-produced fake U.S. driver's licenses to carry out a scheme to hijack the 2020 election with fake mail-in ballots for Democrat Joe Biden. The newly declassified intelligence reports from August 2020 weren’t corroborated or fully investigated and instead were recalled from intelligence agencies at about the time that then-FBI Director Chris Wray testified there were no known plots of foreign interference ahead of the 2020 election in which Biden defeated Donald Trump, officials told Just the News. The new documents were turned over to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who had first raised concerns to t...
