Jailed Trump Ally Tina Peters, who Tried to Reverse 2020 Results, Granted Clemency by Colorado’s Dem Governor

A former Colorado county clerk sentenced to nearly nine years in prison for providing unauthorized access to 2020 election voting data had her sentence commuted Friday by Democratic Gov. Jared Polis.

Tina Peters, who served as Mesa County Clerk during the presidential contest between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, will be released on parole June 1.

She had been convicted in 2024 of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, official misconduct, violation of duty, and failure to comply with secretary of state requirements before being sentenced to eight years and three months in state prison.

Her mandatory release date had been set for 2033, while she would have been eligible for parole in 2028.

Polis told the New York Times that Peters’ commutation was not meant to mollify President Trump — who had repeatedly called for her release while claiming without evidence that the 2020 election was “rigged” against him — but was done because the clerk “was given an unusually harsh sentence.” (Read more from “Jailed Trump Ally Tina Peters, who Tried to Reverse 2020 Results, Granted Clemency by Colorado’s Dem Governor” HERE)

Hantavirus May Survive in Human Sperm for up to Six Years and Cause a Transmission Risk

Hantavirus can remain in human semen for up to six years and has the potential for sexual transmission even after a person has recovered, according to a peer-reviewed study.

The discovery means male patients are likely to be advised to change their sexual practices as happens with other viruses such as Ebola, which also survives in the sexual tract.

The research was conducted at the Spiez Laboratory, a Swiss government institute tasked with fighting nuclear, biological and chemical threats, and published in the journal Viruses.

They investigated a Swiss 55-year-old man who had become infected with the Andes strain of the hantavirus in South America six years earlier.

They found that although there was no longer any trace of the virus in man’s blood, urine and respiratory tract, it was still detectable in his semen 71 months later. (Read more from “Hantavirus May Survive in Human Sperm for up to Six Years and Cause a Transmission Risk” HERE)

Tulsi Gabbard at Center of Explosive CIA Claim as JFK and MKUltra Files ‘Vanish from Her Office’

Tulsi Gabbard is at the center of explosive claims by a whistleblower accusing the CIA of removing files related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the MKUltra mind-control program from her office.

CIA special operations officer James Erdman III, a 20-year veteran of the agency, outlined the accusations during a Wednesday Senate hearing about the origins of Covid-19.

‘When the DIG [Director’s Initiatives Group] ceased operations, the CIA also took back 40 boxes of JFK files and MKUltra files being processed for declassification by DNI Gabbard,’ Erdman claimed.

Republican lawmakers seized on Erdman’s shocking accusations, with Anna Paulina Luna declaring: ‘The CIA has 24 hours to return the documents to Tulsi Gabbard’s office or else I will make a motion to issue a subpoena.’

Luna later clarified that the CIA did not ‘raid’ Gabbard’s office, but did take documents ‘ODNI has jurisdiction over.’ (Read more from “Tulsi Gabbard at Center of Explosive CIA Claim as JFK and MKUltra Files ‘Vanish from Her Office’” HERE)

Underwater Bomb Discovered at Base of Dam Holding Entire City’s Drinking Water Supply… Sparking Massive Federal Response

An explosive was discovered underwater at the base of a dam in Alabama that supplies the City of Mobile and the surrounding region with drinking water.

The explosive was discovered on Wednesday by divers contracted by the Mobile Area Water and Sewer System (MAWSS), who were surveying the Converse Reservoir dam in Mobile County for routine maintenance and repairs.

The divers immediately reported the device, which MAWSS described as ‘a grenade-type IED (improvised explosive device).’

The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office was notified, and a huge, multi-agency response involving federal partners ensued.

Those agencies included the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, FBI Bomb Squad, Mobile Police Department Explosive Ordnance Detail, ALEA Bomb Squad and the Daphne Search and Rescue Team.

The explosive was retrieved and safely detonated on land away from the dam. No one was harmed. (Read more from “Underwater Bomb Discovered at Base of Dam Holding Entire City’s Drinking Water Supply… Sparking Massive Federal Response” HERE)

Dem Senator Asks Why ICE Can’t Simply ‘Pick Up’ Illegals From Jail

Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin on Thursday asked why Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents cannot “pick up” illegal aliens from jail, failing to mention that Democratic elected officials put barriers in the way of agents.

Raskin asked this question during the House Judiciary Committee’s hearing, though he did not mention that members of his own party have banned cooperation with ICE. The hearing featured Fairfax County Commonwealth’s attorney Steve Descano and Sheriff Stacey Kincaid who testified about sanctuary policies.

“But I’m curious, why can ICE not pick up, with its massive resources, why can they not pick up the prisoners while they are still being held, or right before they’re about to be released or at the point of discharge?” Raskin asked.

However, Democrats have repeatedly sought to prevent authorities from cooperating with ICE. Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in January that he would rather detain illegal aliens in California jails than cooperate with ICE agents. Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger banned her state’s cooperation with ICE when she entered office in January.

Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro invoked the 10th Amendment to challenge the legality of ICE operations and called for theme them to cease. He argued ICE’s actions were “outside the bounds” of the Constitution and represented illegal overreach by federal authorities. Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called ICE the “modern-day gestapo” during a commencement speech in May 2025. (Read more from “Dem Senator Asks Why ICE Can’t Simply ‘Pick Up’ Illegals From Jail” HERE)

Xi Raises Prospect of a Future US-China War in Meeting with Trump: ‘Thucydides Trap’

By New York Post. Chinese leader Xi Jinping opened Wednesday’s high-stakes meeting with President Trump by ominously raising the prospect of a future war between the US and China.

Xi made reference to a geopolitical concept known as the Thucydides trap, which posits that there is a high probability of a violent clash when a rising power challenges the ruling hegemon.

“The whole world is watching our meeting,” Xi said inside Beijing’s Great Hall of the People, with Trump seated across the table.

“Currently, transformation not seen in a century is accelerating across the globe, and the international situation is fluid and turbulent,” he continued, according to one translation of his remarks. “The world has come to a new crossroads.

“Can China and the United States overcome the Thucydides trap and create a new paradigm of major country relations? Can we meet global challenges together and provide more stability for the world? Can we, in the interest of the well-being of our two peoples and the future of humanity, build a brighter future together for our bilateral relations?” (Read more from “Xi Raises Prospect of a Future US-China War in Meeting with Trump: ‘Thucydides Trap’” HERE)

Melania Mysteriously Snubs Trump’s Big Trip

By Daily Beast. Donald Trump left Washington for a three-day state visit to China flanked by cabinet secretaries, sixteen corporate CEOs, his son Eric and daughter-in-law Lara—but not his wife.

Melania Trump’s office confirmed her absence in an email to the South China Morning Post hours before takeoff, without even attempting to offer an explanation: “First Lady Melania Trump is not travelling this time,” her spokesperson said.

Her office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on why she was sitting out the trip.

The move comes amid speculation about the first lady increasingly breaking with her husband as she seems to be trying to charter her own course. Trump and his White House aides were reportedly blindsided last month when she called a surprise press conference to read a statement declaring she had no ties to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The move appeared only to revive the scandal that Trump himself had been eager to put to rest.

Melania’s absence, bizarrely, does not appear to have kept the man who produced her critically panned Melania documentary last year from tagging along. (Read more from “Melania Mysteriously Snubs Trump’s Big Trip” HERE)

Senior White House Official Placed On Leave After Trashing Trump In Sting Operation

The White House placed a top administration official on leave after an undercover sting operation revealed his deep disdain for President Donald Trump.

Benjamin Ellisten, a senior budget analyst and funding manager for the White House, told James O’Keefe’s undercover journalist that Trump is a “madman” who is “f*cking it up for everybody.” Ellisten, who has worked at the White House since 2024, according to O’Keefe’s reporting, has since been placed on administrative leave, a White House official told the Daily Caller.

“He has no direct access to the President or Senior Staff, and does not work on the White House campus,” the official told the Caller. “Such views expressed by the individual are not reflective of patriots who admirably serve in the Administration.”

Ellisten was caught telling O’Keefe’s reporter that Trump is a “mess,” saying they “gotta get rid of him.”

“He’s a madman,” Ellisten told the undercover journalist. “Literally. He’s invincible. Nothing can stop him, and that’s dangerous.” (Read more from “Senior White House Official Placed On Leave After Trashing Trump In Sting Operation” HERE)

Marine Vet With Concealed Carry Permit Helped Halt Felon’s Brazen Shooting Spree

A Marine veteran helped Massachusetts State Police halt a gunman’s brazen shooting rampage Monday, the Cambridge Police Department said in a release.

Cambridge Police received word at 1:00 p.m. EDT Monday from the Boston Police Department that a person acting erratically armed with a rifle might be in the area. State Police came upon what was described as “an active shooter scene,” and confronted the gunman alongside the military veteran who had a concealed carry permit.

“After being confronted, the suspect allegedly continued to fire the weapon striking the State Police Cruiser,” Cambridge police said in the statement. “Both the civilian and the Trooper fired their weapons and the suspect was struck multiple times in the extremities. The suspect was treated on scene by police officers and transported to a Boston hospital.”

Video obtained by CBS News Boston showed the gunman brazenly firing a rifle while on Memorial Drive, with authorities saying at least 60 rounds were fired. The civilian who aided law enforcement has been described by multiple media outlets as a former Marine who had a concealed carry permit.

The suspect, 46-year-old Tyler Brown, had a lengthy criminal record, including receiving a five-to-six-year prison sentence for firing multiple rounds at police officers in 2020, according to a 2021 release from the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office.

Michael Jackson’s ‘Secret Family’ Reveals Disturbing Child Sex Abuse Claims Against Late Pop Star: ‘He was a monster’; Elton John, Liz Taylor Homes Implicated

Four siblings who were part of Michael Jackson’s “secret family” revealed in an interview Sunday the vile ways the late pop star allegedly groomed and sexually abused them as children.

The Cascio family sat down with “60 Minutes Australia” on Sunday night to describe how Jackson allegedly sexually abused all of them as children and supplied them copious drugs and alcohol after wooing their family with lavish gifts and fame.

The four siblings filed a lawsuit in February, alleging Jackson was a serial child sex predator who sexually abused victims at the homes of Elizabeth Taylor and Elton John.

“He’s a monster, he’s evil, what he did was evil. And he’s tricked the whole world to think he’s this innocent, perfect human being, and he’s not,” Dominic Cascio told “60 Minutes.”

The Cascios’ father, Dominic Sr., met Jackson in the 1980s while working at the Helmsley Palace Hotel in New York City. He quickly became part of the singer’s inner circle and his family would often spend holidays at Neverland Ranch and travel the world with the King of Pop.

One of the siblings, Eddie, 43, recalled on the broadcast that he met the “Thriller” singer when he was only 2 — when Jackson began visiting the family’s New York home on late nights unannounced.

Dying River in Biblical ‘Cradle of Civilization’ Raises Scary Specter of End Times

The “cradle of civilization” may be turning into a dust bowl — and some Christians say the Bible saw it coming.

The mighty Euphrates River — the legendary waterway that helped give rise to some of humanity’s earliest civilizations — has been shrinking at an alarming rate, sparking fresh fears among end-times believers that an apocalyptic prophecy from the Book of Revelation could be unfolding in real time.

The famed watercourse winds nearly 1,800 miles from the mountains of eastern Turkey through Syria and Iraq, slicing through the ancient Fertile Crescent — the Biblical “cradle of civilization” — before meeting the Tigris River and draining into the Persian Gulf.

Now, as water levels plunge, prophecy-watchers online are sounding the alarm over a chilling passage from Revelation 16:12.

It says: “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.”

For generations, some Christians have interpreted the verse to mean that the drying river would pave the way for a massive eastern army to march toward the Battle of Armageddon — the cataclysmic showdown believed to precede the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
