100,000 Pages, 300 GB of Dirt, Zero Transparency: FBI’s Million-Dollar Cover-Up of Epstein’s Black Book in Overdrive

/51 Comments/in , , /by

The bill requiring the Department of Justice to release the long-awaited Jeffrey Epstein files has officially been signed into law — but that doesn’t mean the public will see everything. Behind the scenes, the FBI has poured enormous time and money into redacting material from Epstein-related evidence before any documents become public.

According to a Bloomberg report, the bureau has spent nearly $1 million in overtime pay as part of what officials internally call the “Epstein Transparency Project,” also referred to as the “Special Redaction Project.” At a secure FBI facility in Winchester, Virginia, nearly 1,000 agents have been assigned to the monumental task of combing through evidence tied to Epstein’s criminal network, his death in 2019, and his vast trove of digital files.

Records show that between March 17 and March 22 alone, the FBI racked up $851,344 in costs, and between January and July, agents logged a staggering 4,737 overtime hours on the “transparency” project. And their work is far from over.

A Massive Trove of Evidence

The DOJ still holds:

• Nearly 100,000 pages of unreleased documents
• 40 computers and electronic devices
• 26 storage drives
• 70+ CDs
• 6 recording devices
• Over 300 GB of digital data

Investigators are also reviewing a wide range of physical evidence, including:

• Travel logs and visitor lists to Epstein’s private island
• Blueprints of Epstein’s New York and Caribbean properties
• Thousands of dollars in cash
• Four busts of female body parts
• Five massage tables
• A list labeled simply as a “document with names,” believed by many to be the elusive client list

Internal reports indicate that FBI Director Kash Patel — along with Attorney General Pam Bondi — has directed agents to flag every reference to Donald Trump in the evidence. The President’s ties to Epstein have long been a subject of scrutiny, and those directives are fueling suspicion about the true motives behind the slow, heavily redacted release process.

Trump and his allies in Congress fought aggressively to delay the release of the files, insisting that redactions are necessary to protect victims and uninvolved parties. But critics say the prolonged secrecy instead serves to protect powerful individuals who may appear in the evidence.

The stalemate broke only after Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) was sworn into Congress last month — providing the final vote needed to force the files’ release.

Despite the law’s mandate, large portions of the Epstein archive may still remain hidden permanently. For now, the public waits — while federal agents work overtime to decide which truths remain concealed.

Trump Rages Over ‘Seriously Retarded Governor’ Tim Walz in Furious Thanksgiving Message

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Trump ripped Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as “seriously retarded” — and suggested Rep. Ilhan Omar “probably came into the USA illegally” — in a rage-filled Thanksgiving message about immigration.

Trump, 79, hurled the insult as he accused Walz, who had been Kamala Harris’ running mate in her failed presidential election bid, of allowing an influx of hundreds of thousands of Somali migrants to take over his “once great state.”

“Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone,” he wrote in the blistering late-night Truth Social post.

“The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both.”

Trump also zeroed in on Minnesota progressive Omar, describing her as the “worst ‘Congressman/woman’ in our country” who is “always wrapped in her swaddling hijab.” (Read more from “Trump Rages Over ‘Seriously Retarded Governor’ Tim Walz in Furious Thanksgiving Message” HERE)

Trump Promises To Pardon Convicted Drug Trafficker Tied To Infamous Cartel

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump committed Friday to granting a “full and complete pardon” to former Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was sentenced in the U.S. for drug and weapons related offenses.

He also endorsed Tito Asfura for president of Honduras in an announcement shared on Truth Social prior to Honduras’ presidential election Sunday.

Hernández was serving as a two-term president before being extradited to the U.S. in April 2022, according to a statement from the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Court documents alleged Hernández used his position to import more than 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. with the aid of co-conspirators armed with guns and grenade launchers. In return, he allegedly received millions of dollars in drug money from some of the world’s most violent drug-trafficking organizations, according to court documents cited by the DOJ.

Trump said “many people that I greatly respect” told him Hernández was treated poorly. (Read more from “Trump Promises To Pardon Convicted Drug Trafficker Tied To Infamous Cartel” HERE)

Trump Declares Biden Autopen-Signed Documents ‘Hereby Terminated’ in Fiery Announcement

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump on Friday issued a sweeping declaration aimed at unraveling a large portion of his predecessor’s official record, asserting that executive documents signed using Joe Biden’s autopen are now void.

In a bold post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that the widespread use of the presidential autopen during Biden’s administration constituted illegal approval of executive actions. He alleged that Biden was not personally involved in signing many official documents, insisting this invalidates their authority.

“Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect,” Trump wrote.

“The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States.”

Trump further accused White House staff of misusing the tool, claiming aides effectively assumed presidential authority without Biden’s involvement.

“The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him,” Trump stated, adding that Biden could face perjury charges if he falsely claims direct approval of autopen-penned orders.

The president’s renewed focus on Biden’s signatures follows months of claims from Republican lawmakers and conservative groups that the autopen was used excessively—and possibly without proper authorization.

A report published by the Heritage Foundation in March alleged that the “majority” of Biden-era presidential documents contained an autopen signature rather than Biden’s handwritten approval. The finding fueled ongoing concerns that Biden was not actively overseeing executive decisions.

The issue even took on symbolic proportions earlier this year when the White House displayed images of past presidents in the Rose Garden colonnade—only to feature a photograph of the autopen in place of Biden’s portrait.

Report: DC National Guard Shooting Suspect Had No Beds in Home, Often Played Call of Duty

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. There were no beds in the home of the the Washington, DC, National Guard shooting suspect, who often played video games such as Call of Duty, according to recent reports.

FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed on Thursday that search warrants have been executed, including for the suspect’s last known residence in the state of Washington.

“The search warrant was executed on that house last night or early this morning, and it is an ongoing process,” Patel said. “All the individuals found in the house have been interviewed, and some interviews remain ongoing. We will not stop until we interview anyone and everyone associated with the subject, the house, and every piece of his life.”

Jeanine Pirro, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, also revealed that the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal — an Afghan who entered the country via former President Joe Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome program — lived there with is wife and what they believe to be his five children, the oldest of whom is said to be 14. He drove across the country to carry out his attack, Pirro continued, ultimately killing one of the two guardsmen, identified as Sarah Beckstrom. The other guardsman injured in the attack, Andrew Wolfe, is still fighting for his life.

Neighbors have since weighed in following the raid on Lakanwal’s Washington home — a $2,000 per month apartment, which they say had no beds. One neighbor said the family was particularly quiet.

Inside American Dream life of alleged DC National Guard terrorist — as neighbors reveal dramatic FBI raid

By New York Post. . .They “never made a peep,” one neighbor said, adding that Lakanwal didn’t speak much English and his oldest child is 14.

“Bellingham is very liberal,” the neighbor said, noting the area, which housed Afghan evacuees following the botched withdrawal, was “Very welcoming. Very diverse. Very open.”

Following the ambush-style attack, Lakanwal’s neighbor said federal agents kicked down the accused gunman’s mustard-colored front door about 16 hours later. . .

“They took everybody out of the apartment but I don’t think the kids were there. It’s pretty shocking. Every sign in the world is pointing [to Lakanwal being the shooter] but there are some things that just aren’t adding up,” the neighbor added.

“One thing that stuck out to us was that law enforcement didn’t show up until 16, 17 hours after it happened. It’s hard to [know why he did it] because you don’t know his mindset. You know if he just snapped.” (Read more from “Inside American Dream life of alleged DC National Guard terrorist — as neighbors reveal dramatic FBI raid” HERE)

In Blistering Thanksgiving Post, Trump Promises To Stop Migration From ‘All Third World Countries’

/1 Comment/in , /by

In a late-night Thanksgiving message that came hours after news that a National Guard soldier shot by an Afghan refugee had died, President Donald Trump promised not only to immediately “pause migration from all Third World Countries,” but also to undertake major actions that he says will reverse the immigration crisis plaguing the country.

In the blistering holiday message, Trump said the United States had been “divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at” for its “just plain STUPID” approach to immigration. He made a series of promises aimed at both stopping the flow of new immigrants, and both cutting off benefits to and removing certain populations that are already here.

“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country,” Trump pledged.

The president also promised to “end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.”

The nation’s generosity, Trump argued, has been weaponized against it, allowing a vast foreign-born population to overwhelm the country and inflict deep social harm. (Read more from “In Blistering Thanksgiving Post, Trump Promises To Stop Migration From ‘All Third World Countries’” HERE)

Washington D.C. National Guard Shootings: Did the CIA Import Its Own Assassin?

/24 Comments/in , , , /by

What is publicly known today is already unsettling enough. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the 29-year-old Afghan who allegedly murdered one National Guard soldier and critically wounded another two blocks from the White House, spent roughly a decade inside one of the CIA’s most secretive Afghan paramilitary programs — the Kandahar Strike Force (NDS-03), commonly referred to inside the Agency as a “Zero Unit.”

These units were not regular Afghan army. They were trained, equipped, paid, and often directly tasked by the CIA, operating with far fewer rules than even U.S. Special Forces. Multiple human-rights reports accused Zero Units of extrajudicial killings, torture, and night raids that sometimes killed entire families.

When Kabul fell in August 2021, Lakanwal was not processed through the normal refugee pipeline. He was evacuated on a CIA-coordinated flight and granted humanitarian parole under Operation Allies Welcome — a status normally reserved for interpreters and others with documented U.S. government service.

His parole expired in 2023–2024, making him technically removable, yet no deportation case was ever opened against him. In April 2025 he was granted asylum in a closed immigration hearing and remained legally in the country with a pending green-card application.

On 26 November 2025 he drove approximately 2,700 miles from Washington State to Washington, D.C., purchased ammunition en route, and allegedly carried out a deliberate ambush on uniformed National Guard troops while shouting “Allahu Akbar.”

The foregoing timeline is not from some conspiracy theorist’s vivid imagination — it is derived from the undisputed public record. Yet these known facts leave a series of questions that no official has yet answered satisfactorily: why was an individual who spent ten years in one of the CIA’s most deniable, violent units fast-tracked into the United States while tens of thousands of other Afghan allies with cleaner records languished for years — or were denied entirely?

And once his humanitarian parole expired, why was no removal proceeding ever initiated, even though ICE routinely deports far less controversial cases? Was someone inside the government still protecting him?

Zero Units were not only fought the Taliban; in their final years they were increasingly used for domestic political missions inside Afghanistan (intimidation, disappearances, election interference on behalf of CIA-favored governors). When those networks collapsed in 2021, many members had enemies on all sides. Bringing such individuals to the United States has always carried obvious risks. Who made the risk-acceptance decision, and on what basis?

CIA Director Ratcliffe’s own words — “This individual — and so many others — should have never been allowed to come here” — imply that even the current leadership believes the original vetting decision was catastrophically wrong. If the Director of Central Intelligence now says the man should never have been admitted, who overruled standard procedures to bring him in 2021 and then kept him here after his legal status lapsed?

Finally, and most uncomfortably: paramilitary assets trained for a decade to conduct covert killings do not usually “go rogue” without some triggering event. Was Lakanwal radicalized after arrival (the official line), or had he always carried divided loyalties that his CIA handlers either missed or chose to ignore?

None of this proves a deliberate plot.

But when an agency that specializes in plausible deniability evacuates one of its own long-term killers, places him on American soil, shields him from normal immigration enforcement for years, and then watches him travel unimpeded across the continent to murder U.S. troops in the nation’s capital, it is not irrational to ask whether something far darker than simple incompetence is at work.

The American public has been told this was a “vetting failure.”

The known facts, however, raise the legitimate — and deeply disturbing — possibility that it was something else entirely.

We recognize that the investigations are only beginning. But the country deserves answers that go beyond press-release assurances, all the way to who exactly decided Rahmanullah Lakanwal belonged on American streets in the first place, to why no one ever reversed that terrible decision.

9/11 Survivor Beaten to Death in Jacksonville: Three Teens Charged in Brutal Attack

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Jacksonville, Fla. – A 64-year-old man who narrowly escaped the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center was fatally beaten in a series of assaults by three teenagers in downtown Jacksonville on October 19, authorities announced. The victim, Roger Borkum, a former computer consultant and Long Island native, had been living homeless at the time of the attack, which has sparked widespread outrage over escalating youth violence and the vulnerability of the unhoused.

According to a JSO press release and arrest reports obtained by local media, patrol officers responded to reports of an aggravated battery just before midnight on October 19 in the 100 block of North Hogan Street (near the Duval County Courthouse). They discovered Borkum severely beaten.

He was rushed to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries four days later on October 23. An autopsy confirmed the cause of death as homicide due to blunt-force trauma.

The investigation, led by JSO’s Homicide Unit in partnership with the State Attorney’s Office, revealed the three suspects as 13-year-old Justin Curry, 16-year-old Robert Pope, and 19-year-old Marcavion Lacey. Authorities note that Curry was only 12 at the time of the attack.

According to police reports, the trio reportedly beat Borkum three separate times over the course of about an hour on the night of October 19. The first assault was followed by a second attack, after which the suspects allegedly rifled through Borkum’s backpack. Then, the group returned a third time and beat him yet again before fleeing the area.

The arrests were made within hours of the attack, aided by a witness who saw the beating and provided descriptions.

On November 20, 2025, a Duval County grand jury indicted Curry; Pope and Lacey were already in custody. All three are now charged with murder.

The victim’s background has drawn deep attention: according to his obituary and multiple news reports, Borkum once worked as a computer consultant on the 77th floor of the North Tower at the World Trade Center — a job that ended in late July 2001, narrowly sparing him from the 9/11 attacks that claimed nearly 3,000 lives, including many of his former colleagues. At the time of his death, Borkum — a widower — had reportedly been living on the streets of downtown Jacksonville. The case has ignited a broader conversation about youth violence and protections for unhoused people in Jacksonville. Community members and local advocates have called the killing “senseless” — a stark reminder of how vulnerable homeless individuals can be, and how young some violent offenders have become.

“This case is a heartbreaking reminder of how young some offenders have become and how devastating the consequences are for victims, families, and the surrounding community,” JSO said in a statement. As the case proceeds, authorities are urging anyone with additional information or who witnessed the events around Hogan Street on October 19 to come forward.”

Tina Peter’s Attorney Backs Military Intervention to Free Her from “Cruel and Unusual Punishment” in Colorado’s State Prison System

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Denver, Colo. – A Florida-based attorney representing Tina Peters, the former Mesa County clerk unjustly convicted of tampering with election equipment in a bid to fuel 2020 election fraud claims, has publicly endorsed the use of U.S. military forces to secure her release from state prison. The provocative suggestion, made during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast earlier this week, has drawn sharp rebukes from Colorado officials and election experts, who labeled it an “illegal order” that could undermine the rule of law.

Peter Ticktin, a constitutional lawyer and longtime associate of President Donald Trump from their days at New York Military Academy, appeared on the November 25 episode of Bannon’s podcast to discuss Peters’ ongoing appeals and a recent federal request to transfer her from state custody. Ticktin, who has lobbied for pardons for January 6 defendants, described Peters as a “political prisoner” and invoked President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s 1957 deployment of the 101st Airborne Division to enforce school desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas. “Maybe we need to do what Eisenhower did [in Arkansas],” Ticktin said, referring to a similar federal intervention. When Bannon pressed him on whether that meant Trump should send troops to the Colorado State Penitentiary in Pueblo—where Peters is apparently serving her sentence—to order state officials to “back off” and release her, Ticktin replied, “Yeah—I’d love to see that happen.”

The comments, which have gone viral in conservative social media, come amid escalating pressure from Trump and his allies to free Peters, whom they portray as a patriot persecuted for exposing voter fraud. On November 24, Trump posted on Truth Social: “FREE TINA PETERS, WHO SITS IN A COLORADO PRISON, DYING & OLD, FOR ATTEMPTING TO EXPOSE VOTER FRAUD IN THE RIGGED 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!!!” This marked at least the third time Trump has demanded her release since her sentencing, previously calling her a “brave and innocent patriot” subjected to “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Peters, 70, was sentenced in October 2024 to nine years in prison after a Mesa County jury convicted her on seven of 10 felony and misdemeanor counts, including three felonies for attempting to influence a public servant, conspiracy, and identity theft. The charges stemmed from a 2021 security breach at the county clerk’s office, where Peters allowed unauthorized individuals—including a man linked to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a prominent Trump supporter—to access Dominion Voting Systems machines and copy sensitive election data. Prosecutors argued the scheme was driven by baseless conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, which Peters promoted at events with Lindell and other deniers.

Peters has steadfastly maintained her innocence, claiming the actions were necessary to verify election integrity, and is appealing her conviction while serving time at the minimum-security correctional facility.

Ticktin’s military proposal emerged in the context of a November 12, 2025, letter from the Federal Bureau of Prisons requesting Colorado transfer Peters to federal custody, citing her health concerns (she has reported issues including a broken wrist and access to medical care) and ongoing federal involvement in her habeas corpus petition. The U.S. Department of Justice has filed amicus briefs supporting her appeals, arguing her actions did not violate federal election laws. However, Colorado Department of Corrections spokesperson Alondra Gonzalez-Garcia stated on November 26 that the state is not pursuing a transfer, as such moves are initiated internally, not by external requests.

Establishment-controlled Republican Gov. Jared Polis has agreed to meet with a bipartisan coalition of Colorado county clerks who, in a rare joint letter on November 25, urged him to deny any transfer or release, warning it would “send a deeply damaging message” and would supposedly endanger election workers facing harassment from denialists.

Predictably, Colorado Attorney General Jenna Griswold, a Democrat, condemned the rhetoric on November 22, stating: “Tina Peters stands alone as an example of the nefarious actions and outcomes of election denialism. Her deliberate and criminal actions were perpetrated in support of Donald Trump’s ‘Big Lie.’ She violated Colorado law… and was found guilty by a jury of her peers.”

The controversy has apparently encouraged rhetoric against Colorado’s leftwing election officials, with far-right podcaster Joe Oltmann—Peters’ co-defendant in a related civil suit—calling on November 25 for the execution of Polis and others, stating they “should hang by their neck until dead.”

The Colorado County Clerks Association, supposedly representing all Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, claimed in its letter that Peters’ continued promotion of “conspiracies” has fueled violence, including doxxing and death threats against clerks.

Peters’ case remains a flashpoint in the election integrity movement. She lost her 2022 reelection bid but gained a national following, speaking at Trump rallies and testifying before Congress on fraud claims. Her appeals are pending in Colorado state courts, with Ticktin arguing jurisdictional errors and prosecutorial misconduct.
