Disclosure: War Department Releases First Tranche of Formerly Classified UFO Files

The War Department released Friday its first batch of “never-before-seen” files and videos on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon (UAP), some of them dating back nearly 80 years.

The disclosure comes two days after President Donald Trump, who ordered the release, predicted, “I think some of it’s going to be very interesting to people,” news outlets reported.

The Department of War posted news of the release on X, directing citizens to see the files for themselves at the website war.gov/ufo. It is the first of what is expected to be repeated file dumps in coming weeks.

“This release follows the direction of President Donald J. Trump to begin the process of identifying and declassifying government files related to UAP in the interest of total transparency,” the department said in a statement. “No other President or administration in history has followed through on this level of UAP transparency.”

The White House said in a statement to Fox News:

The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire United States government are all in one place — no clearance required. While past administrations sought to discredit or dissuade the American people, President Trump is focused on providing maximum transparency to the public, who can ultimately make up their own minds about the information contained in these files.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Barely Legible Alleged Suicide Note Revealed: ‘Time to say goodbye’

By New York Post. Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged suicide note was finally revealed — and the convicted pedophile appears to claim investigators “found nothing” on him.

“They investigated for month — found nothing!!!” read the barely legible note, released by a New York court order Wednesday in response to a New York Times petition.

“So 16 year old charge results!” the note appeared to read. “It is a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say goodbye.”

Tartaglione’s lawyer claimed the note was later verified as being written by Epstein, according to the Times.

Epstein succeeded in killing himself in August 2019, the month after the note was supposedly written for the initial attempt. (Read more from “Jeffrey Epstein’s Barely Legible Alleged Suicide Note Revealed: ‘Time to say goodbye’” HERE)

How an apparent Jeffrey Epstein suicide note ended up in the hands of his quadruple-murderer roommate

By Business Insider. It was a crucial document that wasn’t included in the Epstein files: a suicide note apparently written by Jeffrey Epstein himself.

The purported note, which was made public on Wednesday by a federal judge in New York, was written in handwriting that appears to match other writing from the notorious pedophile. . .

The note did not come from the Justice Department. Nor did it emerge from a congressional investigation into Epstein, nor from one of the many lawsuits surrounding Epstein’s estate.

Instead, it came in a court proceeding related to Epstein’s onetime jail roommate, a former police officer who was convicted of a quadruple murder in 2023.

The cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, said he found the note after Epstein’s first apparent suicide attempt in Manhattan jail, on July 23, 2019. (Read more from “How an apparent Jeffrey Epstein suicide note ended up in the hands of his quadruple-murderer roommate” HERE)

Katie Porter Accidentally Admits The Real Reason Democrats Want Sanctuary Cities

Democratic California Gov. candidate Katie Porter inadvertently revealed the real reason leftist politicians are pushing for sanctuary cities.

Porter let the mask slip during Tuesday night’s gubernatorial debate and admitted that illegal immigration is one of “the only ways [California] has been growing in recent years,” seemingly embracing the replacement of American residents with foreigners. Notably, the deep blue state has welcomed illegals to the tune of millions while an estimated 10 million California residents have fled the state in the last decade.

“It’s the job of the California governor to protect every single Californian,” Porter said. “The sanctuary state policy is designed to make sure that our state resources, the taxpayer dollars, the public servants that we have, are focusing on doing their jobs, which is not cooperating with the federal immigration authorities.”

“These are Californians,” Porter said of illegal immigrants. “They contribute to our economy, they pay taxes, and they’re one of the only ways our state has been growing in recent years.”

Nancy Mace Names 6 House Lawmakers Allegedly Involved In Sex Scandal Cover Up

Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace named several lawmakers Monday who she claims used a congressional “slush fund” to cover up alleged sex scandals.

Mace said she uncovered 1,000 pages of documents detailing how certain lawmakers allegedly evaded consequences for sexual scandals, according to a Monday post on X. Mace originally subpoenaed the House Oversight Committee in March in light of a string of sexual scandals that resulted in two resignations from Congress.

Notably, Mace said that these documents are only from the last 22 years, claiming that all reports prior to 2004 were “destroyed.” Mace later named six lawmakers she alleges covered up their sex scandals with the “slush fund.”

“Accountability is not a threat,” Mace said. “It is a promise.”

Mace followed up her original tweet with one listing the alleged cases and their settlements. Mace’s post names six lawmakers including former Republican Louisiana Rep. Rodney Alexander, former Republican Texas Rep. Blake Farenthold, former Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Patrick Meehan, former Democratic New York Rep. Eric Massa, former Democratic Michigan Rep. John Conyers, and the office of former Democratic New York Rep. Carolyn McCarthy.

‘Genuine Tension’: Obamas Blame Marital Problems On Trump

Former President Barack Obama said the pressure to be on the campaign trail for the Democratic Party is creating tension between him and his wife.

The New Yorker interview with Obama, published Monday, shared how their marriage was affected by Barack’s continual involvement in politics. The former president pointed to President Donald Trump as the reason for his involvement.

“She wants to see her husband easing up and spending more time with her, enjoying what remains of our lives,” Obama said, adding that the pressure remains to be politically active against the Trump administration, despite the precedent of past presidents retiring out of politics altogether. “It does create a genuine tension in our household, and it frustrates her.”

Obama said that he does his best to accommodate her, but noted he understands why people are looking to him despite “the fact that no other ex-president was the main surrogate for the party for four election cycles after they left office.”

Michelle struggled through her time as first lady, saying on her “The Light Podcast,” that upon leaving Trump’s first inauguration, she was “uncontrollabl[y] sobbing” for half an hour on Air Force One. (Read more from “‘Genuine Tension’: Obamas Blame Marital Problems On Trump” HERE)

NBC News reported a statement from the U.S. Marshals Service, which said, “We can confirm Craig Mark Berry is deceased and no longer a threat to the public.”

Kash Patel Says FBI Lied to Obtain Warrants Used to Illegally Spy on Trump’s 2016 Presidential Campaign

FBI Director Kash Patel says the FBI lied to obtain surveillance warrants that were used to illegally spy on Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign and his first term in office.

“It took me two years of my life to prove the following: that a political party in the United States of America, in the 21st century, would go overseas and hire some bogus intelligence asset to manufacture fraudulent, fake, unverified information,” Patel told Sean Hannity during Tuesday’s episode of Hang Out with Sean Hannity.

From there, the political party would then “funnel that to, not just the intelligence community, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and then take those packaged lies that they had paid for with campaign finance funds and go into a secret surveillance court,” Patel continued, “and illegally spy on your opponent to be the next President of the United States.

“That took two years of my life,” Patel reiterated. “And what did we find out? The FISA court themselves came back and said these warrants were illegal, that the FBI did not provide evidence of exculpatory evidence and innocence, and that the FBI essentially lied in those applications.”

The FBI director went on to say that this was merely “step one,” adding, “I knew it didn’t stop there.” (Read more from “Kash Patel Says FBI Lied to Obtain Warrants Used to Illegally Spy on Trump’s 2016 Presidential Campaign” HERE)

Suspect who Allegedly Fired at Secret Service Agents near White House Identified — and Charging Docs Include Possible Motive

The man arrested for a shooting Monday at the National Mall that led to a White House lockdown has been identified in a federal criminal filing.

Michael Marx, 45, was spotted at about 3:30 p.m. by a plainclothes officer who believed he was carrying a gun. When he was approached by uniformed officers, he fled and allegedly fired a gun at them.

The suspect was shot, captured, and arrested, but a juvenile bystander was also shot during the altercation.

Investigators confirmed an initial report that the motorcade for Vice President JD Vance had just passed by before the shooting.

The gunshot victim was described as a civilian witness who was standing behind an officer and was shot in the leg. The officers returned fire and shot the suspect in the hand, left arm, and upper abdomen.

As he was being transported in an ambulance to a hospital, Marx allegedly said, “F**k the White House,” as well as, “Kill me, kill me, kill me.”

FAA Contractor Charged for Allegedly Threatening to ‘kill you — Donald John Trump’

Federal Aviation Administration mechanical engineering contractor finds himself at risk of significant jail time over an email he allegedly sent the White House, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Hampshire.

The 35-year-old man, Dean DelleChiaie, of Nashua, was arrested on Monday and appeared in court on Tuesday on a charge of interstate communication of a threat against the president. If convicted, the FAA contractor faces up to five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.

An affidavit in support of the charge filed by a U.S. Secret Service special agent details the alleged actions of DelleChiaie. According to that affidavit, the Nashua man first came to the notice of the Secret Service near the end of January after the FAA IT department contacted the USSS. The contact was made after the suspect allegedly took his government-issued computer to the IT department and asked for his search history to be deleted.

While working on the suspect’s request, the IT department employees noticed disturbing search topics on his computer.

According to the affidavit, these search topics are alleged to have included:

How to get a gun into a federal facility;
Previous assassination attempts against the president;
The percentage of the population that wants the president dead; and
The phrase “I am going to kill Donald John Trump.”

Iran War Drives Up Jet Fuel Costs As Summer Travel Season Looms

Airfare is taking off as the Iran war drives up jet fuel costs, with travelers now facing steeper prices heading into the summer travel season.

The spike shows how the conflict in Iran is hitting Americans far beyond the battlefield, as rising oil prices ripple through airlines, gas prices and consumer costs. Fuel is one of airlines’ largest operating expenses, according to the World Air Transport Statistics (WATS), and higher costs are increasingly being passed on to travelers through higher fares, added fees and fewer flight options.

Airfares are reportedly surging by around 25% according to data released by KAYAK. The increase comes as the Iran war drives up jet fuel prices and Americans head into the busiest travel season of the year, straining consumers’ plans.

Families planning to travel are getting hit with higher ticket prices, raising the possibility that travelers may resort to changing destinations and driving instead of flying.

“I don’t see how a family that could just barely justify, say $500 in plane tickets, is going to be able to justify $800,” JP Krahel, Loyola University professor, told CBS News. “If it’s a discretionary trip, they may say, ‘You know what, instead of flying across the country, let’s just drive down to the beach.’” (Read more from “Iran War Drives Up Jet Fuel Costs As Summer Travel Season Looms” HERE)
