First Black Member of Secret Service Finally Testifies to JFK Committee, Details Chicago Assassination Plot

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The man John F. Kennedy called “the Jackie Robinson” of the Secret Service finally got to testify before a Congressional committee Tuesday — alleging fellow agents were often drunk on the job and there was a so-called “Chicago plot” to kill the president before his 1963 assassination in Dallas.

His head bowed, Abraham Bolden, 90, spoke with difficulty into a microphone when he addressed the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform by Zoom from his home in Chicago. The committee is probing the assassination of the president.

But the audio cut off immediately as Bolden began to speak, effectively muting his testimony on the live stream.

“On June 6, 1961, I walked into history,” said Bolden, according to a transcript obtained by The Post. “I was assigned to the White House detail in Washington, DC to assist in protecting the life of the president. And I never met a more human and fair-minded person than President Kennedy.”

The Trump administration released tens of thousands of previously classified documents with respect to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, his younger brother Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. (Read more from “First Black Member of Secret Service Finally Testifies to JFK Committee, Details Chicago Assassination Plot” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United States has accepted a 747 jetliner as a gift from Qatar and the Air Force has been asked to determine a way to rapidly upgrade it for use as a new Air Force One, US media outlets reported Wednesday.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth accepted the $400 million Boeing-made jet and has tasked the Air Force to figure out how to quickly upgrade it for use as President Trump’s official plane, according to the New York Times, which first reported the deal.

Legal experts have questioned the scope of laws relating to gifts from foreign governments that aim to thwart corruption and improper influence.

Democrats have also sought to block the handover. (Read more from “US Accepts $400M Jet From Qatar, Will Be Used as Trump’s Official Plane” HERE)

4 Common Handwashing Mistakes That Could Be Making Many Americans Sick

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Proper handwashing could save a million lives a year, according to an expert — and yet many people are doing it improperly, often due to misconceptions surrounding the practice. . .

The NFID 2025 State of Handwashing Report, recently released by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, provides details on Americans’ handwashing habits (and mistakes). . .

1. Only using hand sanitizer

“We have to recognize that there are a number of important infections that hand sanitizers are not effective at preventing,” Hopkins said.

2. Just coughing into your sleeve

When people cough or sneeze into their sleeve, they could still spread germs afterward.

“If you cough into your sleeve … go ahead and wash your hands with soap and water as well,” Hopkins advised. (Read more from “4 Common Handwashing Mistakes That Could Be Making Many Americans Sick” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Hawaiian Airlines flight from San Diego to Honolulu was stopped after a U.S. military service member said the person next to him had a bomb, police said.

The pilots of Hawaiian Airlines flight 15 had pulled away from the gate Tuesday and were getting ready to depart when passenger John Stea, 35, told a flight attendant that a passenger next to him had a bomb, the Port of San Diego Harbor Police Department said.

The port police, San Diego Fire Department personnel and federal agencies came and searched the aircraft, but turned up nothing. Everyone on board had to deplane, and specialized service dogs cleared all carry-on and checked baggage, port police said.

Police identified Mr. Stea as a member of the military but did not specify the branch to which he belongs. He is an electronics technician 1st class with the Navy, according to NBC News.

Mr. Stea faces charges of making a false bomb threat and false report of a security threat. (Read more from “US Military Man Accused of Fake Bomb Threat Against Hawaiian Airlines Flight” HERE)

Elon Musk Fires Back at ‘Huge Liar’ Bill Gates: ‘I Wouldn’t Want That Guy to Babysit My Kid’

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a scathing attack, Tesla CEO Elon Musk lashed out at Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, bringing up his ties to infamous sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Musk was responding to Gates’ attack over cuts to USAID led by the SpaceX owner’s DOGE.

Mediaite reports that the feud between tech billionaires Elon Musk and Bill Gates escalated to new heights on Tuesday, with Musk delivering a blistering critique of Gates during an appearance at the Qatar Economic Forum. Speaking via satellite with BBC journalist Mishal Husain, the Tesla boss did not mince words when responding to recent criticisms leveled at him by Gates.

The contention between the two moguls stems from Gates’ comments in a CNN interview, where he blasted Musk’s gutting of USAID, claiming it would lead to “millions of deaths.” Musk fired back, calling Gates a “huge liar” and stating, “That’s terrible.”

However, Musk didn’t stop there. He proceeded to take a personal shot at the Microsoft co-founder, referencing Gates’ controversial association with infamous sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “Who does Bill Gates think he is to make comments about the welfare of children given that he was close friends with Jeffrey Epstein?” Musk questioned, adding, “I wouldn’t want that guy to babysit my kid, I can tell you that.”

The scathing remarks from Musk are the latest development in an increasingly bitter public rivalry between the two tech titans. Previously, the Microsoft billionaire had criticized Musk in a discussion with the Financial Times, painting a grim picture of “the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children.” Gates also described Musk’s support of conservative politicians in America and sovereigntist parties in Europe as “insane shit.” (Read more from “Elon Musk Fires Back at ‘Huge Liar’ Bill Gates: ‘I Wouldn’t Want That Guy to Babysit My Kid’” HERE)

Personal Trainer For Pope Leo Breaks Silence, Reveals Utter Shock That His Client Was Secretly A Cardinal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pope Leo’s personal trainer, Valerio Masella, revealed he was stunned to discover his client of nearly two years was a cardinal in an interview.

Masella told Italian newspaper Il Messaggero that he had absolutely no idea the man he trained would become the next pontiff.

“Here in the gym, no one knew that Robert, now Leo XIV, was a cardinal, least of all me who trained him,” the 26-year-old said. Masella said Pope Leo, then Cardinal Robert Prevost, trained regularly at a gym in Rome, located near the Vatican, and consistently worked out multiple times a week, according to Il Messaggero. The location is called the Omega gym, ABC New reported. . .

“[H]e was always kind, never nervous or irritated,” Masella said. “A truly serene and balanced person.”

The trainer went on to say he suspected ‘Robert’ was some sort of professor or academic based on their interactions. (Read more from “Personal Trainer For Pope Leo Breaks Silence, Reveals Utter Shock That His Client Was Secretly A Cardinal” HERE)

In 2015, Biden Joked About Getting Prostate Cancer as a Reason to Leave the Obama Administration

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Joe Biden has prostate cancer that’s metastasized to his bones, leading to another wave of scrutiny about the Delaware liberal’s health. His mental decline was a years-long con job perpetuated by the White House, the Democratic Party, and the media. Now, we have this cancer diagnosis, which, based on the timelines, means the president had cancer while in office. He likely had it at the start of his presidency, based on medical experts, one of whom is Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel. Why wasn’t this disclosed? Was it hidden? Likely, Biden wasn’t tested.

It’s based on a doctor’s consultation at his age, but we know there wouldn’t have been a test anyway. That would leave a paper trail. As Democrats grapple with another hell week over Biden’s sickly disposition and their complicity in the cover-up, an old joke from the then-vice president in 2015 has come back to haunt: Biden joked about getting prostate cancer to provide a reason to leave Barack Obama (via Washington Times):

Vice President Joseph R. Biden said Tuesday that he would “develop prostate cancer or something” if he had a fundamental disagreement with President Obama and was forced to resign from his post.

At an event honoring former Vice President Walter Mondale, Mr. Biden recounted the conditions he placed on joining Mr. Obama’s ticket in 2008 and also made clear he would leave the administration if he encountered deep, substantive policy differences with the president.

“Two things: to be able to completely be level with you and argue with you if we disagree, privately,” Mr. Biden said of his 2008 conversations with Mr. Obama, in which the two men discussed the vice president’s role.

“And secondly, I want to be the last person in the room on every major decision, and I didn’t mean that figuratively, I meant that literally — the last person in the room,” he continued. “He’s president. He gets to make the decision, and unless there’s an overwhelming disagreement in principle, in which case I’d develop prostate cancer or something and leave, and he knew I meant that … I get to be the last person in the room. And that’s where I think I can serve best.”

Banks, Grassley Press Pentagon IG For Answers On Mark Milley’s ‘Alleged Misconduct’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Sens. Jim Banks of Indiana and Chuck Grassley of Iowa are seeking answers about the Pentagon’s inquiry into retired Gen. Mark Milley’s “alleged misconduct” during his time leading the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“The nation’s highest-ranking military officer has a solemn responsibility to set an example of excellence and to model good conduct for all American service members. The record suggests that General Milley failed to meet those standards,” the senators wrote in their Tuesday letter to Acting Defense Department Inspector General Steven Stebbins.

In their communique, Banks and Grassley cited a separate request they sent the DOD inspector general’s office in August 2022, in which they asked that a probe be opened into Milley over reported offenses he allegedly committed while serving under President Trump. This included purported actions that amounted to “tamper[ing] with the statutory chain of command” and “undermining the Constitutional principle of civilian control of the military.”

In 2021, it was reported that Milley told his counterpart in the Chinese military that the U.S. had no intention of attacking China, and that he would “call [Beijing] ahead of time” if Trump were to launch such an offensive. A Milley spokesman released a statement that same year confirming the general’s talks with the Chinese. The statement did not specifically deny the reports of Milley allegedly informing his Beijing associate that he would warn China ahead of an impending U.S. attack.

The retired Army general has also reportedly called Trump a “fascist to the core,” and seemingly referred to the president as a “wannabe dictator” in his 2023 retirement speech. (Read more from “Banks, Grassley Press Pentagon IG For Answers On Mark Milley’s ‘Alleged Misconduct’” HERE)

ICE Slaps Detainer On 24-Year-Old Illegal Alien Who Posed As Teen Student

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration has taken action to keep a 24-year-old Venezuelan illegal alien behind bars after he was arrested for posing as a teenager for over a year at an Ohio high school, federal officials told The Daily Wire.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed an immigration detainer on Anthony Emmanuel Labrador Sierra, who was arrested by police on Monday after it was discovered that he had been attending Perrysburg High School for over a year, posing as a 16-year-old. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire that it had confirmed that Sierra was a 24-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela, and placed the detainer to make sure he remains behind bars.

“ICE lodged a detainer to ensure that this criminal illegal alien is removed from this community and no longer able to prey on the students of Perrysburg High School,” McLaughlin told The Daily Wire. “It is disturbing that a grown man would impersonate a teenager and surround himself with underage girls and boys and fool them into doing God knows what.”

Sierra was charged on Monday with forgery charges after the Perrysburg School District revealed that Sierra used forged documents to obtain legal guardianship, a Social Security number, an Ohio driver’s license, and Temporary Protected Status from deportation.

Trump Says Biden Didn’t Destroy The Country — Accuses Other ‘Treasonous Thugs’ Instead

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his predecessor did not destroy the country, rather it was his staff around him who “knew he was cognitively impaired.”

Trump posted on Truth Social that Biden was “not for open borders” and that it was his staff who put the United States in “great danger.” The president called it “treason.”

“Joe Biden was not for Open Borders, he never talked about Open Borders, where criminals of all kinds, shapes, and sizes, can flow into our Country at will,” Trump wrote. “It wasn’t his idea to Open the Border, and almost destroy our Country, and cost us Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to get criminals out of our Country, and go through the process we are going through now. It was the people that knew he was cognitively impaired, and that took over the Autopen. They stole the Presidency of the United States, and put us in Great Danger.”

“This is TREASON at the Highest Level! They did it to destroy our Country. The Joe Biden that everybody knew would never allow drug dealers, gang members, and the mentally insane to come into our Country totally unchecked and unvetted. All anyone has to do is look up his record,” he continued. “Something very severe should happen to these Treasonous Thugs that wanted to destroy our Country, but couldn’t, because I came along. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Axios’ Alex Thompson and CNN anchor Jake Tapper recently released a book on Biden’s physical and mental decline while he was in the White House, leaving the media and the public engrossed on what exactly happened during the Biden administration and how. Across more than 200 interviews with White House and party officials, Tapper and Thompson reported that aides were considering putting Biden in a wheelchair and that he did not recognize his longtime friend George Clooney at a fundraiser.
