Tim Walz’ Teenage Son Enlightens Him On Why Young Men Gravitate Toward Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz turned to his high school aged son to figure out why President Donald Trump appeals to young men.

Trump made historic inroads with men, particularly those who are young, black or Hispanic, in the 2024 election, causing Democrats to ask themselves why they have lost the demographics in such large droves. Walz said that his son, Gus, explained to him that Trump “understands belonging,” and said that the Democrats failed to welcome young men into their movement.

“[Gus] is pretty in tune to this, but what he said was, he said, ‘dad, a lot of these young guys [aren’t] voting on the policy issues.’ And he wasn’t dissing them, he said they may know the policy issues, but most of them don’t. They’re doing it because there’s a sense of excitement, a sense of thrill in this, it’s entertainment or whatever. We all dismiss that. ‘Donald Trump’s a clown. Donald Trump’s rallies [are] a clown’ … But there’s a peripheral side of that that’s not criminal but is going down the same road of saying ‘you’ve got a place to belong.’” Walz said.

Walz compared the sense of belonging young Trump voters felt to being on a high school sports team, stating that they felt they were part of a movement and belonged.

“If you don’t give a kid a place to belong, they’ll go flying away,” Walz continued. “So while you want them to be involved in sports and music and things in school, because they will go find a group of folks. And I think Donald Trump understands belonging, he understands groups because look at it, he gives them a uniform, the red hat. He gives them some chance, some talking points, whatever, it’s not all that different than when we built sports teams in high school. You belong, you’re part of this.” (Read more from “Tim Walz’ Teenage Son Enlightens Him On Why Young Men Gravitate Toward Trump” HERE)

Harvard Commencement Speaker Worked for Org Tied to China’s Military

/0 Comments/in , /by

Harvard’s 2025 commencement speaker, “Luanna” Yurong Jiang, worked for a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) entity with extensive ties to Beijing’s military and intelligence networks, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered.

Jiang, who graduated from the Kennedy School on May 29 and appeared to take a swipe at the Trump administration during her speech, was a volunteer for the International Department of the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) prior to attending Harvard between at least 2018 and 2022, according to a DCNF translation of Chinese state media. The organization is controlled by the CCP and has signed a cooperative agreement with a Chinese military arm, according to CBCGDF announcements.

Furthermore, CBCGDF also hosts a branch of a Chinese influence and intelligence service called the United Front Work Department (UFWD), to which many of its leaders belong, including its secretary-general who reportedly wrote a recommendation letter for Jiang to Harvard, according to a DCNF translation of Chinese state media.

“Harvard is one of the world’s greatest institutions, but we will have no choice but to end its existence if it continues to allow itself to be used by those seeking the destruction of our country,” Gordon Chang, author and China expert, told the DCNF.

Harvard and CBCGDF did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment. Luanna Jiang could not be reached for comment. (Read more from “Harvard Commencement Speaker Worked for Org Tied to China’s Military” HERE)

Senior DOJ Officials Didn’t Know Database Allowed FBI to Bury Existence of Russiagate Documents

/0 Comments/in , /by

People familiar with the investigation into the Russia collusion hoax told The Federalist that senior officials did not know the FBI case management database, Sentinel, allowed agents to conceal the existence of evidence. Nor did anyone from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office mention that documents related to the investigation into the Trump campaign had been rendered invisible by use of the “Prohibited Access” coding in Sentinel — even though they knew the Department of Justice was investigating the origins and handling of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

On Monday, a former political appointee at the DOJ expressed surprise that no one from Special Counsel Mueller’s team mentioned the “Prohibited Access” functionality of Sentinel to senior officials. This news follows last week’s release by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, of a recently declassified FBI report that revealed that Special Counsel Mueller’s office used a “Prohibited Access” restriction during the Trump/Russia-collusion investigation.

As The Federalist detailed earlier today, the “Prohibited Access” coding in the FBI’s Sentinel case management system, “precludes investigators from detecting the existence of potentially relevant serials.” “In other words,” according to the just-released FBI report, “when search terms that exist in the Prohibited Access-status cases are searched in Sentinel, the particular search will receive a false-negative Sentinel search response.” (Read more from “Senior DOJ Officials Didn’t Know Database Allowed FBI to Bury Existence of Russiagate Documents” HERE)

Girls Leave Podium When Forced to Share With Trans Athlete at State Championship

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A pair of girls’ track and field athletes did not stand on the medal podium alongside a transgender athlete for high jump at the Oregon state championship on Saturday night.

Footage obtained by Fox News Digital showed the two high school seniors, Reese Eckard of Sherwood High School and Alexa Anderson of Tigard High School, step down from their respective spots on the podium next to a trans athlete who represented Ida B. Wells High School.

Eckard, in fourth place, and Anderson, in third, each finished ahead of the trans athlete, who tied for fifth place. But the two females faced the opposite direction as the other competitors received their medals from officials.

The footage then showed an official confront the two young women, and gesture for them to move away. Eckard and Anderson were then seen walking away from the podium and standing off to the side. . .

The trans athlete previously competed in the boys’ category in 2023 and 2024, Fox News Digital previously reported. (Read more from “Girls Leave Podium When Forced to Share With Trans Athlete at State Championship” HERE)

Smartphone Smuggled Out of North Korea Reveals the Insane Things Kim Jong Un Does to Control His ‘Suffocated’ People

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A smartphone smuggled out of North Korea has revealed the astonishing levels of control the secretive dictatorship is exercising over its people.

The phone, which from the outside appears no different from a normal device, issued warnings about using South Korean slang words to users, and auto-corrected “South Korea” to read “puppet state,” an investigation from the BBC found.

It would also covertly take a screenshot every five minutes, storing the images in a secret folder which the user couldn’t access, but which presumably were accessible to North Korean authorities.

When the user tried to type in the word “oppa,” which means older brother in Korean, but has come to be used to refer to a boyfriend in South Korean slang, the phone would auto-correct the word to the more communist-friendly alternative, “comrade.”

A warning would then flash up, warning the phone’s user that the term “oppa” could only be used for older siblings, the BBC investigation found. (Read more from “Smartphone Smuggled Out of North Korea Reveals the Insane Things Kim Jong Un Does to Control His ‘Suffocated’ People” HERE)

Ukraine Launches Massive Surprise Attack, Dismantles Russian Nuclear Bomber Fleet: ‘A New Pearl Harbor’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Ukrainian forces stunned the Russian military Sunday after wiping out and damaging dozens of nuclear bombers and other aircraft with ambitious and complicated attacks that struck President Vladimir Putin’s air bases deep inside the country, Kyiv says.

Even pro-Moscow military bloggers are calling the strike — which used drones hidden in trucks — “the Russian Pearl Harbor.”

The attack came just a day before the leaders of Ukraine and Russia were potentially set to meet in Istanbul as part of US-backed cease-fire talks.

The mission carried out by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) using first-person-view (FPV) drones hit 41 Russian heavy bombers and other warplanes at four separate airfields thousands of miles from Ukraine.

The cost of the destroyed aircraft, most of which Russia no longer even manufactures, is at least $7 billion, Kyiv said. (Read more from “Ukraine Launches Massive Surprise Attack, Dismantles Russian Nuclear Bomber Fleet: ‘A New Pearl Harbor’” HERE)

Top CNN Reporter Exits After Network Lost $5M Defamation Case Against Navy Veteran

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A CNN correspondent at the center of a nefarious report that cost the network at least $5 million for defaming a US Navy veteran is leaving the struggling network.

Chief national security correspondent Alex Marquardt landed in hot water earlier this year after a Florida jury ruled that he defamed Zachary Young in 2021 by claiming the former soldier illegally exploited Afghans during the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from the country.

Sources told former CNN media correspondent Oliver Darcy that Marquardt was fired — citing “editorial differences” with his higher-ups at the network.

Marquardt — who worked at CNN for eight years and recently spearheaded its coverage of the Russian-Ukraine war — did not mention the legal debacle or the reason for his exit in announcing the departure Monday.

“Tough to say goodbye but it’s been an honor to work among the very best in the business,” Marquardt wrote in a post on X. (Read more from “Top CNN Reporter Exits After Network Lost $5M Defamation Case Against Navy Veteran” HERE)

Northern Lights Will Be Visible Across Most of U.S. Thanks to a ‘Severe’ Geomagnetic Storm

/0 Comments/in , /by

The northern lights are expected to put on a breathtaking show over parts of the U.S. Sunday night due to a powerful geomagnetic storm hitting Earth.

The storm reached “severe” strength early Sunday morning, strong enough to push the glowing aurora borealis further south than usual — possibly lighting up skies from Michigan and Washington State, down to Northern California and even Alabama, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.

“This is going to be a great night to view the lights where skies are clear,” Shawn Dahl, a coordinator at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, told the New York Times.

Clear skies are expected across much of the Pacific Northwest, Northern California, the Midwest, and parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Ohio Valley, making them prime viewing spots.

Star-gazers in the Big Apple, however, shouldn’t count on seeing much due to cloudy skies forcast basically all night. (Read more from “Northern Lights Will Be Visible Across Most of U.S. Thanks to a ‘Severe’ Geomagnetic Storm” HERE)

Chinese ‘Kill Switches’ Found Hidden in U.S. Solar Farms

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Chinese “kill switches” that could allow Beijing to cripple power grids and trigger blackouts across the West have been found in equipment at US solar farms.

The rogue devices, including cellular radios, were discovered in Chinese-made power inverters that are used to connect solar panels and wind turbines to electricity grids across the world, including the UK.

The hidden communications equipment could be deployed remotely to switch off inverters with potentially catastrophic results.

The discovery, reported by Reuters, will heighten concerns that China has installed covert malware in critical energy infrastructure throughout the US and Europe. The kill switches could be deployed at any time in the event of a confrontation between China and the West.

Over the past nine months, the suspect devices were found in inverters and batteries from multiple Chinese suppliers by US experts who strip down equipment to check for security issues before they are connected to power grids.

FBI Closing in on Suspects in J6 Pipe Bomb

/0 Comments/in , /by

Revolver was among the first to call out the absurdity of the January 6 pipe bomb narrative, and we didn’t let go. While the legacy media ran cover for the feds, we exposed the inconsistencies, the absurd timeline, the missing surveillance footage, and the cartoonishly convenient location of the discovered” devices.

Revolver:

Just days before the fourth anniversary of the so-called insurrection, the Congressional House Oversight Committee released a major report on the January 6 pipe bomb scandal that resoundingly confirms multiple key aspects of Revolver News’ reporting on this scandal over the past three and a half years. We at Revolver News have faced tremendous difficulty for breaking the pipe bomb story wide open, and, together with our reporting on the Ray Epps breach, which coincided with the suspicious discovery of the pipe bombs, dismantled the entire Fedsurrection narrative.For years, the regime ignored it. Now, thanks to Dan Bongino and Kash Patel, this cover-up is getting dragged back into the spotlight.
Revolver News’ Darren Beattie recently explained some of the implications of this report in an interview that has taken the media by storm (over 6 million views on Twitter and counting).

Watch these two powerful videos:

We were universally reviled in the mainstream media as conspiracy theorists. Google Ads and other programmatic ad services cancelled us; over four different email sending services cancelled us, making it next to impossible to get our reporting out to our mailing list. We’ve received threats, including from Ray Epps himself, who promised to sue (he eventually lost his suit against Fox for having Revolver’s Darren Beattie on to talk about Epps). Perhaps nothing better illustrates the hostility with which Biden’s national security state viewed our reporting on January 6 than the fact that an FBI agent was not only put on leave but had his security clearance revoked simply for sharing our January 6 reporting with colleagues (our understanding is that his clearance and job are now reinstated, thank God).

Of course, the hostility we’ve faced is not because we were peddling a baseless conspiracy theory, but rather because we almost single-handedly destroyed a false narrative about January 6 in which the regime had invested billions of dollars and, arguably, an entire election cycle. Indeed, the false story that January 6 was a deadly terrorist attack and MAGA insurrection served as a key pretext for the national security state to weaponize itself against Trump supporters. We, therefore, welcome such reports as the recent pipe bomb report from Congress’ House Admin Committee—the first full government account of the problems we’ve reported concerning the official pipe bomb story (the Secret Service OIG report touched on this a bit, the DOJ OIG report not at all). Congressman Thomas Massie has done a tremendous job of taking Revolver News’ reporting on the pipe bomb to the next level using his Congressional perch, and we are especially pleased to note Massie’s key role in the creation of the House Admin report on the pipe bomb story.
