Documents reveal that the Biden FBI secretly tracked the calls of 8 GOP senators under Arctic Frost, an operation that was not oversight but deliberate surveillance on political opposition.

The Biden FBI quietly crossed lines that most Americans assumed were untouchable, secretly tracking the communications of 8 sitting Republican senators and expanding that reach to nearly a dozen more under the Arctic Frost investigation. This was not oversight; this was premeditated surveillance dressed as legality, a playbook for political targeting that erodes trust in every federal institution. Every call, every timestamp, every pattern was recorded while the public remained in the dark. If sitting senators can be monitored without transparency, what protections remain for ordinary Americans?

The Senate Judiciary Committee confirmed the FBI collected tolling data from January 4–7, 2021, for 8 Republican senators, capturing call details without content.

BLM sues Tides Foundation over missing $33M

The national Black Lives Matter movement claims $33.4 million of its cash is being withheld by one of its progressive partner organizations, The Post has learned.

In a scathing lawsuit, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation accuse the Tides foundation — backed by George Soros — of alleged “deceptive business practices” as well as “egregious mismanagement” of its money, while demanding its return.

The lawsuit was filed last year, but the stakes were raised on Monday when the BLMGNF — which oversees its other regional operations — asked the California Attorney General to step in and investigate Tides.

'Iran is developing a nuclear missile to hit the US,' Netanyahu warns in Ben Shapiro interview

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Iran is developing a missile that could “put New York City, Boston, Washington, or Miami under their atomic guns.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Monday that Iran is developing intercontinental ballistic missiles that could “put New York City, Boston, Washington, or Miami under their atomic guns,” during an interview with Ben Shapiro.

“Iran can blackmail any American city,” Netanyahu explained, and added, “People don’t believe it. Iran is developing intercontinental missiles with a range of 8,000 kilometers; add another 3,000 and they can get to the East Coast of the US.”

He warned, “That’s a really big danger. You don’t want to be under the nuclear gun of these people, who are not necessarily rational and chant ‘death to America.’ I think Israel is doing a great work at keeping that away.”

Netanyahu also talked about the advantages of the defense agreement between Israel and the US, noting Israel’s historical advancements in the field of defensive weaponry.

He disclosed that Israel is developing offensive weapons with the US that no other superpower has. “The most advanced on the planet are developed by Israel and shared with America,” he said.

He added that Israeli intelligence had protected US citizens. “We prevented planes from being taken down by ISIS and terror attacks in the whole world.”

Netanyahu also said he thinks the end of the war in Gaza is near but emphasized that it cannot be done if Hamas stays in power once the ceasefire is established.

“I think we are close to the end of the war but not there yet,” he explained. “Exactly two years ago, the worst atrocities committed against Jews since the Holocaust happened. Everybody thought Israel was doomed. Two years later, we smashed the Iranian axis with most of their proxies.

“Israel emerged from this horrible day as the strongest power in the Middle East, but we still have things to do to complete the mission. What started in Gaza will end in Gaza with the release of 46 of our hostages, 20 of them who are still alive, and with the end of Hamas rule.”

The number of hostages the prime minister stated is incorrect, as there are 48 left in Gaza as of Tuesday.

Navy maintenance crews are stripping their own jets and submarines for spare parts

Mechanics working on Navy F/A-18s stripped radio cables from some jets to repair others because the parts were only available "on the schedule" of the original manufacturer.

The U.S. Navy’s maintainers have had to strip submarines and fighter jets for spare parts to repair other planes and subs, a government watchdog found. In at least one case, mechanics repairing a Navy fighter jet could not repair a radio because the cables needed for the job were only available from the manufacturer.

“Only that vendor can make the part, and generally, repairs to that part are made on the OEM’s schedule,” the Government Accountability Office found in a report released late last month. “Officials considered reverse engineering the part or contracting to stock spare parts, but determined both options would be too costly. Maintainers, therefore, have resorted to cannibalizing grounded aircraft for the part.

The Government Accountability Office found that limited intellectual property and data rights, coupled with delays in the availability of parts, were forcing technicians to develop ad-hoc methods, including cannibalizing equipment to help keep certain vehicles mission-ready.

The GAO found that the Department of Defense did not fully review the data rights it has to certain intellectual property, leading to issues in maintaining weapons systems. Business Insider first reported on the GAO’s findings. The watchdog examined five Navy contracts — the F/A-18 and F-35 fighter jets, littoral combat ships, the Stryker Combat Vehicle, and Virginia-class attack submarines — to see how they were handling maintenance for the systems. The watchdog found that Navy mechanics and crews faced ongoing delays, mainly stemming from a lack of spare parts due to limited sourcing options.

“Cannibalization has several adverse impacts, including increasing maintenance costs and workload, and when overused, long-term adverse effects on aircraft availability,” the report found.

Navy maintainers were also cannibalizing parts from other submarines to fix Virginia-class submarines, to avoid delaying repairs while waiting for spares to be sent by manufacturers.

New AFP boss warns hate crime laws may need to be strengthened further

Hate crime offences created earlier this year after a spate of antisemitic attacks may need to be taken even further, Australia's new top cop has flagged in her first interview as police chief.

Australian Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett has also announced the creation of specialised strike teams to chase down extremists who fall short of strictly defined terrorism offences.

Commissioner Barrett, who today formally took charge of the AFP, has revealed her first act as chief is to establish specialist National Security Investigations (NSI) teams in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra to deal with the blurring lines between extremism, political violence, organised crime and foreign interference.

"In the past two years, particularly post-October 7, 2023, we have seen a changing operating environment for law enforcement in Australia," Commissioner Barrett told the ABC.

"Under my leadership, the AFP will be laser focused on protecting our sovereignty, our democracy, our social cohesion, our financial sector and our future prosperity."

National security squad will consider gaps in law

The government rushed through sweeping hate-crime laws early this year amid a wave of antisemitic incidents and a politically febrile environment, including a string of firebombings and the discovery of an explosives-laden caravan in Sydney's north-west.

The AFP later found the caravan was part of a "fake terrorism plot" by organised crime figures and was "never going to cause a mass casualty event".

A culture of leniency. Exposing wrongdoing or protecting wrongdoers?

Corporate regulator ASIC lets crooked bankers walk free, and the notional anti-corruption commission (NACC) ignores Robodebt.

During September 2025, officers of the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) appeared before the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Corporations and Financial Services. The subject matter primarily focused on a penalty of $240 million imposed on the ANZ Bank for a series of contraventions, including market manipulation and unconscionable conduct, over a two-year period.

The offences related to multiple issues, from dubious handling of government bond sales to charging fees to deceased customers.

Tania Lawrence MP and Senator Barbara Pocock noted that the penalty was to be levelled against ANZ as an entity, and they pressed the ASIC officers about why offending individuals were not being identified and pursued. Ms Lawrence observed that ANZ had fired certain individuals who signed non-disclosure agreements on exiting.

The committee members wanted to know whether ASIC had sought to learn whether the terms of their NDAs might provide insight into who was accountable for some of the ANZ contraventions.

The Australian Financial Review’s Angira Bharadwa reported ($) that ANZ chair Paul O’Sullivan claimed the Commonwealth had not lost money as a result of the contraventions, a claim contradicted by ASIC chair Joe Longo, who indicated a loss in the order of $26 million had been incurred.

As the departing ASIC chair, Mr Longo made reference in various answers to problematic issues around intentionality when pursuing individuals for misconduct, and also suggested that the many thousands of employees, past and present, at a bank the size of ANZ made it very difficult to pin fault and intention on particular individuals, even where the contraventions relate to repeated contraventions supposedly rectified following the Banking Royal Commission of 2017-19, a point made by Ms Lawrence.

State of WA appeals $2.8 million compensation payment to Dion Barber for abuse in state care

The state of WA is appealing a court judgement that gave a record $2.8 million compensation payment to a man who suffered repeated sexual abuse while in state care during the 1980s and 1990s.

Dion Barber was last month awarded almost $2.85 million by a District Court judge for the abuse he suffered as a child, in what has been described as the biggest damages award to a survivor of sexual abuse in the state.

But documents filed to the Supreme Court show the state is appealing the court's decision.

Mr Barber, who is now in his 40s, was a ward of the state when he was abused by his stepfather.

He was temporarily removed form the man's care, then sent back to live in the same house with him, where he suffered further abuse.

Other adults also abused him throughout his later years in care.

Following a civil trial earlier this year, Judge Linda Black found that Mr Barber was a "credible witness", and the instances of abuse he described did occur.

She awarded Mr Barber $2,846,900

Mr Barber said he was disappointed by the state's appeal.

"I spent four years during this case, and four weeks during the trial fighting to be heard," he said.

"I was finally listened to and believed by the judge."

"The judge found the department failed to look after me when I was in their care and I was abused."

Mr Barber said he had hoped the state "would finally accept some responsibility".

"I had just wanted to move on with my life and try and put this behind me," he said.

"Survivors shouldn't be tortured like this."

Mr Barber's legal counsel has filed a cross appeal, though the grounds are yet to be determined.

State must act responsibly, premier says

WA Premier Roger Cook said it was not the government's appeal.

"Obviously in these situations, we utilise an insurance arm of government, which operates independently," he said.

"They in turn engage lawyers, so it's very much at arm's length.

Awkward moment Penny Wong was left speechless when she was asked a very simple question about ISIS brides returning to Australia

Foreign Minister Penny Wong has refused to answer questions about bringing Australian women linked to terrorist group Islamic State back into the country.

Accusations of a 'cover up' around the issue have been levelled since the fiery Senate estimates showdown in which Wong and senior officials from the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) stonewalled attempts to get answers.

They would not be drawn on how many 'ISIS brides' are back on Australian soil and when the public would be told if they were. The grilling followed reports six women and their children stuck in Syrian detention camps had slipped back into the country.

The group reportedly fled Syria and travelled to Beirut where they were detained for not having valid visas. They were issued Australian passports after DNA and security checks.

Liberal Senator James Paterson asked Wong when Anthony Albanese was briefed about the group before he dismissed in Parliament on September 3 reports they had been repatriated.

'Presumably, if the Prime Minister was able to say in Question Time that those reports were not accurate, that sometime prior to the 3rd of September, he was briefed on the possible return of ISIS brides to Australia,' he said.

Wong refused to answer.

'Everything after 'presumably is your hypothetical, so I'm not responding to it,' she said.

Claremont Institute

The Claremont Institute is a conservative think tank based in Upland, California. The institute was founded in 1979 by four students of Harry V. Jaffa. It produces the Claremont Review of Books, The American Mind, and other publications.

The institute was an early defender of Donald Trump. After Joe Biden won the 2020 United States presidential election and Trump refused to concede, Claremont Institute senior fellow John Eastman aided Trump in his failed attempts to overturn the election results. The institute publications in recent years have frequently published alt-right and far-right opinion pieces.

The institute was founded in 1979 by four students of Straussian political theorist Harry V. Jaffa, a professor emeritus at Claremont McKenna College and the Claremont Graduate University, although the institute has no affiliation with any of the Claremont Colleges. Under Jaffa and Larry P. Arnn, the institute became a leading Straussian-influenced conservative think tank, publishing on topics such as statesmanship, Lincoln scholarship and modern conservative issues.

Arnn served as its president from 1985 until 2000, when he became the twelfth president of Hillsdale College. Thomas Klingenstein has been the chairman of the board of trustees since approximately 2010.[ Michael Pack was president from 2015 to 2017. Ryan P. Williams was named president in 2017.

The Claremont Institute provides fellowships. Fellowships in the past have gone to prominent figures on the right such as Laura Ingraham, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Mary Kissel, and Charles C. Johnson. The institute caused controversy by granting a fellowship in 2019 to the Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec. National Review columnist Mona Charen wrote that "Claremont stands out for beclowning itself with this embrace of the smarmy underside of American politics." In 2020 Mark Joseph Stern of Slate magazine called the institute "a racist fever swamp with deep connections to the conspiratorial alt-right", citing Posobiec's fellowship and the publication of a 2020 essay by senior fellow John Eastman that questioned Kamala Harris' eligibility for the vice presidency. In 2022 the American Mind published an editorial by Raw Egg Nationalist, an author affiliated with neo-Nazi publishing house Antelope Hill.

Deloitte to partially refund the government after using AI in $440,000 report

Deloitte will partially refund the federal government after admitting to using artificial intelligence in a $440,000 report that contained several errors.

The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) commissioned Deloitte to review its targeted compliance framework and IT system in December 2024, but the report came back littered with mistakes in the references and footnotes.

The report has since been corrected with deleted references and footnotes, corrections to errors and a new reference list.
