Clinton email scandal revisited: FBI had its own private server issues

By Steven Richards | Just the News Months after he refused to charge Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election for using a private, unauthorized server to transmit classified information, then-FBI Director James Comey's inner circle used personal email accounts to further a plan to make an "unauthorized disclosure" to journalists, newly declassified memos reveal. When investigators in a criminal probe codenamed "TROPIC VORTEX" sought permission in 2019 to gain access to those private emails, federal prosecutors turned them down, according to the memos recently uncovered by current FBI Director Kash Patel and declassified for release to Congress by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington DC "issued a prosecutorial declination decision for TROPIC VORTEX,"...

Trump-era border policies slash cartel profits by over $1 billion

By Virginia Allen | The Daily Signal https://youtu.be/Z8d60Vm728o?feature=shared EL PASO, Texas—Since the start of 2025, border security measures have cost the Mexican cartels more than $1 billion, according to estimates by the El Paso Sector of the Border Patrol in Texas. “We’re hurting them in the pocketbook,” interim Border Patrol Chief for the El Paso Sector Walter Slosar tells The Daily Signal.   In recent years, Slosar says he can recall days when as many as 2,700 illegal aliens were arriving at the border daily, but now, Border Patrol is encountering about 40 illegal aliens a day in the El Paso Sector, which includes the two westernmost counties in Texas—Hudspeth and El Paso—and all of New Mexico.    The criminal cartels control much of the ...

Police in Sanctuary City Defy Mayor Join ICE to Enforce Law

By Jack Davis | The Western Journal Many Boston police officers are defying Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu’s stance against Immigration and Customs Enforcement by secretly assisting federal authorities with critical intel. Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons told radio host Howie Carr about this crucial cooperation on Wednesday. “We have so many men and women of the Boston Police Department and other jurisdictions that are so pro-ICE, that want to work with us, and that are actually helping us behind the scenes,” he said. Lyons promised to target similar sanctuary cities with federal agents in order to get America’s immigration crisis under control. “We’re definitely going to, as you’ve heard the saying, f...

CDC warns of flesh-eating parasite threat as travel spreads risk

By Richard Moorhead | The Western Journal Even the name is grisly — but the behavior is even worse. The parasite known as the New World screwworm, a type of fly larva that feeds on living flesh and can be fatal to its victims, has been confirmed as infecting a human in the United States, according to Reuters. While human infections are vanishingly rare, the discovery has the nation’s beef industry on edge. As the Associated Press reported, screwworms are a species of fly with females that seek out orifices of living mammals to lay their eggs — such as the eyes, nose, mouth, or bleeding open wounds. When the eggs hatch, the larvae then bury into the flesh of the host organism with sharp teeth that burrow in like screws — hence the name. PLEASE READ THE COMPL...

Trump Launches Nationwide Review of All Visa Holders for Enforcement

By Associated Press | US News The Trump administration says it’s reviewing more than 55 million foreigners who have valid U.S. visas for any violations that could lead to deportation. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration said Thursday it is reviewing more than 55 million people who have valid U.S. visas for any violations that could lead to deportation, part of a growing crackdown on foreigners who are permitted to be in the United States. In a written answer to a question from The Associated Press, the State Department said all U.S. visa holders, which can include tourists from many countries, are subject to “continuous vetting,” with an eye toward any indication they could be ineligible for permission to enter or stay in the United States. Should such information be fou...

USCIS to Screen Visa Applicants for Signs of Anti-Americanism

By Kanishka Singh, Reuters | The Gazette WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump's administration has said it will assess applicants for U.S. work, study and immigration visas for "anti-Americanism" and count any such finding against them, sparking concern about implications for free speech. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said in a "policy alert" dated Tuesday that it gave immigration officers new guidance on how to exercise discretion in cases where foreign applicants "support or promote anti-American ideologies or activities" as well as "antisemitic terrorism." Trump has labeled a range of voices as anti-American, including historians and museums documenting U.S. slavery and pro-Palestinian protesters opposing U.S. ally Israel's military assault on Gaza. "Anti-Amer...

Trump Backs Gabbard In Sweeping Move Against Intelligence Community

By Kanishka Singh and Jonathan Landay | The Gazette WASHINGTON - U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on Tuesday that she had revoked security clearances of 37 current and former intelligence professionals whom she accused of "politicizing and manipulating intelligence." Gabbard said in a social media statement that the action was taken at President Donald Trump's direction. Gabbard has repeatedly alleged weaponization of the U.S. intelligence community, and last month the U.S. Department of Justice said it was forming a strike force to assess her claims. Trump has leaped on recent comments from Gabbard in which she threatened to refer officials from the administration of Democratic former President Barack Obama to the Justice Department for prosecution ove...

B-2 bomber and F-35 flyover greet Putin as Trump sets high-stakes Alaska stage

By Morgan Phillips | Fox News Russian president looked up as aircraft that recently struck Iranian nuclear facilities flew overhead with F-35 escorts As President Donald Trump greeted Russian President Vladimir Putin on the tarmac at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, a B-2 stealth bomber soared overhead, flanked by four F-35 jets.  Putin looked up at the sky as the planes buzzed overhead while he walked alongside Trump, and then made a comment to the U.S. president.  The display was as much a symbol as it was a show of force—a pointed reminder of America’s military reach at the very moment the two leaders prepared to discuss the future of global security. The dramatic arrival underscored the high-stakes nature of the Alaska summit, the first face-to-face m...
