Trump To Designate Antifa As Foreign Terrorist Group

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he will classify Antifa as a “foreign terrorist organization.”

Trump convened a White House roundtable on Antifa on Wednesday to pledge an aggressive crackdown against the group. The event followed his order and Federal Register entry listing Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization — no State Department action has yet placed “Antifa” on the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) list.

“Would you like to see it done? You think it would help?” Trump asked of the FTO designation. “I’d be glad to do it. I think it’s the kind of thing I’d like to do. Does everybody agree? If you agree, I agree. Let’s get it done, OK? Let’s get it done. Marco, we’ll take care of it … Sounds good to me.”

“The epidemic of left-wing violence and Antifa-inspired terror has been escalating for nearly a decade,” the president said earlier in the roundtable. “We’re going to be far more threatening to them than they ever were with us — and that includes the people that fund them.”

Explosive Claim Around Charlie Kirk’s Killing Sparks MAGA Civil War

While the killing of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk last month launched a flurry of conspiracy theories, an explosive new claim made Monday by one of Kirk’s former associates has sparked a civil war among the MAGA right.

“Charlie was done with Israel bullying him, and I am now going to present to you proof of what I am saying,” said far-right influencer Candace Owens on Monday. “This is an actual group chat which happened two days before Charlie Kirk was assassinated.”

Owens went on to share an image of an alleged group chat that included Kirk and eight other individuals, naming just one of the other eight: Rob McCoy, the co-chair of Kirk’s conservative advocacy organization Turning Point USA.

In the text messages, Kirk allegedly complained about having “lost another huge Jewish donor,” something that would cost him “$2 million a year” because he insisted on inviting Tucker Carlson – an outspoken critic of the United States’ support for Israel – to an upcoming Turning Point event.

That donor is suspected to be conservative billionaire Robert Shillman, largely due to a New York Times report last week that said Shillman had “angrily questioned Kirk for giving a platform to Carlson,” and that he had informed Kirk he would be withdrawing a $2 million pledge to Turning Point, an account that lines up with Kirk’s alleged comments.

White House Press Secretary Explodes at Reporter Over Kushner’s Middle East Ties

At a heated White House briefing this week, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at a New York Times reporter who questioned the role of Jared Kushner in President Donald Trump’s proposed Gaza peace plan — even as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled that Israel would not abide by key terms of the agreement.

The exchange highlighted the growing political tensions surrounding the Trump administration’s high-stakes, 20-point roadmap to end the war in Gaza — a plan that includes phased Israeli withdrawal, a governing council for Gaza, and Gulf-backed reconstruction — and the controversial involvement of Trump’s son-in-law in its negotiation.

The confrontation occurred after The Times’ Shawn McCreesh asked whether it was appropriate for Kushner — who has received over $2.5 billion in investments from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar — to be so deeply involved in diplomacy involving those very same countries.

“How did the White House decide that it is appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, three countries that combined have given him more than $2.5 billion for his investment firm?” McCreesh asked.

Leavitt, 28, erupted in response:

“I think it’s frankly despicable that you’re trying to suggest that it’s inappropriate for Jared Kushner, who is widely respected around the world and has great trust and relationships with these critical partners in these countries, to strike a twenty-point comprehensive detailed peace plan that no other administration would ever be able to achieve,” she said.

“Jared is donating his energy and his time to our government, to the President of the United States, to secure world peace, and that is a very noble thing.”

Her impassioned defense sought to frame Kushner not as a conflict of interest, but as an asset — someone whose personal relationships and business history with the Gulf states were being leveraged for diplomatic gain.

Still, the optics are hard to ignore. Kushner’s firm, Affinity Partners, received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund in 2021, soon after he left the White House. Since then, the firm has secured at least $1.5 billion more from the UAE and Qatar.

The scrutiny over Kushner comes amid growing signals from Israel that it will not fully honor the peace plan brokered by the Trump administration — despite its public support.

Earlier this week, Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel would accept only an agreement “on its terms,” suggesting that the Israeli government may revise or reject critical components of the proposed deal.

The original plan includes:

The release of all hostages;
A phased Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza;
The establishment of a transitional, internationally backed governing council for Gaza;
A demilitarized Gaza Strip, with armed groups disarmed;
And billions in reconstruction funds from Gulf states, primarily Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.

But Netanyahu’s statements — including that “Israel alone will determine the security future of Gaza” — appear to directly contradict the disarmament and governance provisions. According to Israeli media, Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition is especially resistant to any plan that would reduce Israeli control or allow significant Palestinian self-governance.

Netanyahu’s “own terms” include retaining Israeli military oversight of Gaza indefinitely, rejecting both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority as future rulers of the enclave, and demanding absolute disarmament before any reconstruction or diplomatic normalization moves forward. These changes would substantially alter the agreement Trump’s team — with Kushner at the helm — has been promoting.

The question McCreesh posed — about whether private financial entanglements are influencing public diplomacy — underscores the growing unease about the backchannel nature of these negotiations.

Democratic lawmakers, including Senator Ron Wyden, have launched inquiries into Affinity Partners’ foreign funding, warning that the overlap of Kushner’s financial and diplomatic roles represents a “serious constitutional and ethical problem.”

Joe Rogan Suggests Pete Hegseth Convening Generals Was Necessary After ‘Crazy People’ Ran Biden Admin

Podcast host Joe Rogan on “The Joe Rogan Experience” Tuesday suggested it was important for Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to order military leadership to convene in Quantico, Virginia, following four years of former President Joe Biden’s administration.

During his speech at Quantico, Hegseth announced his department would mandate all military members pass two fitness tests per year, regardless of rank, and to meet the highest combat standards previously reserved solely for men. Rogan argued on his podcast that President Donald Trump’s administration seemed focused on military strength, while the Biden administration prioritized “identity politics.”

[Warning: content contains explicit language.]

“[S]upposedly … they want to get all the generals together and give them some sort of a moral and ethical mandate. Like preparedness,” Rogan said. “‘This is what we want the military to be. No more fucking politics no more identity politics and bullshit. The most important thing is be ready. Be ready. Have the best, most capable military that’s humanly possible given the resources that we have today. This is where our goal is. This is where our job is,’ which makes sense.”

One of Rogan’s guests, Andy Bishop of The Red Clay Strays band, asked whether it was necessary for the Trump administration “to call everybody together” to disseminate that message. Rogan responded by criticizing the Biden administration.

“Well, you saw what the fuck was going on over the last four years,” the podcast host said. “You got guys in dresses talking about how it’s really important to have inclusiveness. ‘It’s the most important thing about the military is inclusivity.’”

Pete Hegseth Rebukes DEI, Fat Troops: ‘We Are Done with That Sh*t’

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced new standards Tuesday as part of an ongoing cultural shift at the Pentagon ending the “war on warriors” led by woke politicians and Pentagon leaders.

Hegseth, eight months into a historic tenure that has seen the Department of Defense rebranded and reoriented as the Department of War, made his announced Tuesday addressing top military leaders at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Quantico, Virginia, ahead of remarks by President Donald Trump.

“From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: warfighting, preparing for war, and preparing to win, unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit,” he told the rare assemblage of top military brass.

Hegseth’s speech emphasized many themes pressed throughout his time leading the Pentagon, such as eradicating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements, mandating higher standards, and earning peace by preparing for war.

But his 45-minute remarks in front of top generals and flag officers marked a formal pivot away from many past policies that Trump has argued distract from the military’s core mission. (Read more from “Pete Hegseth Rebukes DEI, Fat Troops: ‘We Are Done with That Sh*t’” HERE)

‘This Is Amazing!’: Tucker Carlson Stunned As Wikipedia Co-Founder Walks Him Through Site’s Blacklist

Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson expressed amazement on “The Tucker Carlson Show” Monday as Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger guided him through the site’s blacklist.

Wikipedia has a “perennial sources” page that categorizes sources based on how reliable they supposedly are, using “public discussion and consensus.” Sanger told Carlson on his show how to find the list and informed him as he searched for it that The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, The Nation, Mother Jones and GLAAD were among those with approval from Wikipedia.

“Come on!” Carlson exclaimed, laughing.

“These are all green lit, fully green lit,” Sanger said. The Wikipedia co-founder then read some of the “blacklisted” sources, including Breitbart News, the Daily Caller, The Epoch Times, Fox News, the New York Post and The Federalist.

“So, you can’t use those as sources on Wikipedia,” Sanger said.

“Oh, wow,” Carlson said as he looked at the list on his phone. Sanger explained the color coding. (Read more from “‘This Is Amazing!’: Tucker Carlson Stunned As Wikipedia Co-Founder Walks Him Through Site’s Blacklist” HERE)

Tucker Carlson Says Netanyahu Claims He ‘Controls Trump,’ Slams U.S. Loyalty to Israel as ‘Humiliating’

In a fiery appearance on Glenn Greenwald’s System Update podcast this week, Tucker Carlson issued one of his strongest critiques yet of the U.S.-Israel relationship—specifically accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of bragging about controlling former President Donald Trump, and calling the influence of Israeli leaders over American policy “humiliating.”

“I’m not guessing about this,” Carlson told Greenwald. “I talked to people he [Netanyahu] said it to. Bibi’s running around the Middle East saying, point blank, ‘I control the United States. I control Donald Trump.’”

The former Fox News host and longtime conservative commentator framed his critique not as anti-Israel, but as pro-American—focusing his ire on U.S. political leaders who, he argued, are failing to represent the interests of the American people by putting Israel’s priorities first.

Carlson, a vocal Trump supporter who publicly endorsed and campaigned for him in 2016, said Netanyahu’s alleged comments about controlling Trump struck a personal chord.

“Even if I didn’t vote for Trump, which I did—I campaigned for Trump—but even if I hadn’t, I’m still an American. You can’t treat us like this. It’s too humiliating,” Carlson said. “I can’t handle that, and I shouldn’t have to put up with it.”

He continued, “There’s an ongoing humiliation ritual designed to make us all crazy—designed to turn us into haters.”

Carlson made clear that his primary criticism wasn’t of Israel itself, but of American politicians—on both sides of the aisle—who he says have allowed a foreign government to steer U.S. policy, often to the detriment of American citizens.

“I’m attacking my leaders who are allowing my nation of 350 million people to be forced into doing things that are bad for me and my children because of some other country,” he said. “That is a violation of the most basic arrangement we have with our leaders, which is: represent us, please—at least most of the time.”

Carlson’s comments come as U.S. support for Israel continues unabated during its war with Hamas, with billions in military aid and unconditional diplomatic backing. He has become one of the few prominent voices on the political right to break from the bipartisan consensus surrounding Israel, especially amid rising civilian deaths in Gaza and increasing global concern over the scope of Israel’s military campaign.

Carlson also addressed critics who have accused him of antisemitism or bigotry for his stance, saying these accusations are used to silence meaningful criticism and distract from uncomfortable truths.

“They just scream at you and call you names,” Carlson said. “But calling me a bigot doesn’t [hurt me], because I know that I’m not. I’m not going to give them the satisfaction of becoming what they call me.”

He added, “I’m not a hater, and I’m never going to become one. But I will never accept this.”

BOMBSHELL: Senior DOJ Epstein Investigator Reveals ‘Epstein Was CIA’ — Confirms ‘R-pes Occurred While Bill Clinton Was on the Plane’

Jeffrey Epstein was working with the CIA, according to a former Department of Justice employee, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The late sex offender was said to be protected from justice while working with the agency.

The individual, Glenn Prager, who is believed to have previously worked with the DOJ, claimed to Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe, the “[DOJ] didn’t want to go after him [Epstein] because he’s an asset for the United States and Israel. It’s not talked about yet, but it’s soon to come out that he [Epstein] was a CIA informant.”

However, the DOJ was quick to respond to the shocking claim and said in a statement to O’Keefe: “This individual worked at the Department of Justice as a program analyst over fifteen years ago.

“He has no understanding of, or access to, the underlying facts in this investigation. His statements should not be considered accurate.”

They added: “It is disgusting that someone would further exploit victims of sexual abuse by fabricating stories for their personal benefit.”

Trump, Epstein ‘Best Friends Forever’ Statue Hastily Removed From DC’s National Mall

A garish statue of President Trump and late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was mysteriously erected on the National Mall on Tuesday — and removed by Wednesday morning.

The bronze sculpture stood about 12 feet tall and appeared to show both men in a merry dance with Trump’s left hand gripping Epstein’s right.

One of the plaques under the figures read: “We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend’ Jeffrey Epstein” and attributed the stunt to an anonymous group called “The Secret Handshake.”

“We’re a very small group of citizens who are using art, irony, and humor to express social commentary and spark political conversation in public spaces,” the group told USA Today.

US Park Police hauled the installation away before daybreak Wednesday, telling WUSA 9 that it wasn’t in compliance with a permit that initially allowed it to remain through Sunday evening — though the department did not specify the issue.
