The Epstein Files WILL Be Released & Here’s How! – Thomas Massie

 

Rep. Thomas Massie about the Congressman’s efforts to force the DOJ to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act and release unredacted records, including victim interviews and investigative notes. Massie say that the DOJ’s delays clearly violate the law and that tools like subpoenas, inherent contempt, fines, civil suits with victims, and even arrest by the Sergeant-at-Arms remain on the table.

 

He adds that powerful, wealthy interests—not just politicians—are likely implicated, which explains the resistance to disclosure. Despite low expectations, Massie insists the law does not expire and accountability can still be compelled.

American Academy of Pediatrics Hit With Federal RICO Lawsuit for Vaccine Safety Fraud

 

AAP accused of operating a decades-long racketeering scheme that deceived America about vaccine safety for maximum profit.

 

For decades, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has been treated like an untouchable authority on child health — the gold standard that parents, doctors, schools, and lawmakers were told to trust without question. But today, that image collapses. Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and multiple plaintiffs just filed a federal lawsuit alleging the AAP spent decades running a racketeering operation that sold parents false safety assurances about the childhood vaccine schedule.

 

This isn’t another “vaccine debate” lawsuit. It’s a RICO fraud case—the same legal weapon used against organized crime and the tobacco industry. The allegation is blunt and devastating: the AAP allegedly manufactured false certainty around vaccine schedule safety, shut down legitimate scientific scrutiny, and promoted sweeping assurances that were never validated through rigorous real-world safety testing—while operating within a system shaped by vaccine-manufacturer funding and financial incentives tied to high pediatric vaccination rates.

 

One of the most explosive points in the complaint is what it forces into the open. The cumulative childhood schedule has never been safety-tested the way any reasonable parent would assume it has. The lawsuit points to Institute of Medicine findings from 2002 and 2013 calling for more research and acknowledging the lack of proper vaccinated vs. unvaccinated comparisons. Yet the AAP continued portraying the schedule as thoroughly tested and unquestionably safe, shaping pediatric care nationwide through repetition, authority, and pressure—not proof.

 

The complaint also describes what parents have learned the hard way. This system doesn’t merely recommend vaccines. It demands compliance. Physicians who questioned the schedule or deviated from AAP protocols were professionally targeted, disciplined, and financially crushed. The message was clear: follow the script, or lose your career.

 

The lawsuit further argues that the AAP’s public reassurances were built on “theoretical” talking points that became institutional doctrine, including the infamous claim that infants could tolerate an extreme number of vaccines at once. According to the plaintiffs, this wasn’t evidence—it was marketing disguised as medical authority, repeated in clinics to silence questions and keep the assembly line moving.

 

Then there’s the part that makes it all make sense: money. The complaint highlights conflicts of interest and financial entanglements with vaccine manufacturers and aligned institutions. The AAP presents itself as independent and science-first, while operating in a world of corporate sponsorships, incentives, and industry relationships that would be unacceptable in any genuinely transparent public health organization.

 

Summary

CHD and multiple plaintiffs filed a federal RICO lawsuit against the AAP, accusing the organization of long-term fraud and racketeering tied to vaccine safety claims.

 

The lawsuit alleges the AAP violated RICO by engaging in a sustained pattern of deceptive safety messaging about the CDC childhood vaccine schedule, while operating within a financial ecosystem tied to vaccine-manufacturer funding and incentive-driven pediatric vaccination practices.

 

The lawsuit alleges the AAP repeatedly promoted false certainty that the childhood vaccine schedule is thoroughly tested and safe.

 

The complaint highlights the absence of proper vaccinated vs. unvaccinated comparisons for cumulative schedule safety, referencing IOM reports calling for more research.

 

Plaintiffs argue the AAP relied on theoretical reassurance (not real-world schedule safety trials) to shut down scrutiny and concerns.

 

The suit includes physicians claiming they suffered professional and economic harm for deviating from AAP vaccine orthodoxy or questioning safety claims.

 

It also includes families alleging severe injury or death following routine vaccination and describes how medical judgment was allegedly overridden by rigid AAP-driven standards.

 

The complaint raises concerns about conflicts of interest, alleging financial ties and aligned incentives undermined the credibility of AAP’s public safety assurances.

 

The lawsuit seeks financial damages, mandatory disclosure about safety-testing gaps, and to stop the AAP from making unqualified vaccine safety claims.

Going Down, Down Under

 

The Australian Parliament has passed a new hate crimes law that could potentially throw critics of Israel in prison for years, reports Joe Lauria.

 

The Australian Parliament has adopted a potentially nation-altering hate crimes bill that allows an intelligence agency and the government to collaborate in virtual secrecy to list “hate groups” whose members and supporters could be then imprisoned, according to the text of the law and to senators who voted against it in a late-night session on Tuesday.

 

The law could allow peaceful organizations protesting against Israel to be listed without due process as hate groups in a hidden process between the Australian Intelligence Security Organisation (ASIO), which is the national domestic intelligence agency similar to the F.B.I., the attorney general and the home affairs minister.

 

Asked by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) four times whether a group accusing Israel of genocide could be designated a “hate group,” federal Attorney-General Michelle Rowland ultimately said she would rely on the advice of ASIO & the police in such a case.

 

The law says the Australian Federal Police minister “is not required to observe any requirements of procedural fairness in deciding whether or not the AFP Minister is satisfied” that a group should be banned.

 

When asked to respond to critics who say the new law is “too broad, lacks procedural fairness and is the sort of stuff you see in authoritarian states,” Rowland said:

 

“I would say that we are responding to one of the worst things we have seen in this country’s history and indeed the worst terror attack on Australian soil and that demands that the Parliament take measures that ensure that our citizens are kept safe and that we directly address antisemitism.”

 

Rowland said there was judicial review available and Parliamentary disallowance. But in response to the question, she is essentially justifying a law that is like one you see in an authoritarian state, perhaps because, critics fear, Australia is becoming one.

Caity Johnstone: Oppose Israel’s Abuses While You Can

 

The Israel lobby can cry about Jewish Australians feeling threatened by every pro-Palestine group and then ASIO will ban the group and cage anyone associating with it for up to 15 years.

 

Australia’s Labor government has successfully passed a “hate speech” bill that’s plainly aimed, at least in part, at suppressing pro-Palestine organizations as “hate groups”.

 

Free speech advocates are sounding the alarm about the new laws, saying their extremely vague wording, lack of procedural fairness and low thresholds for implementation mean groups can now be banned if they make people feel unsafe or upset without ever actually posing any physical harm to anyone.

 

For me the most illuminating insight into what these laws are actually designed to do came up in an ABC interview with Attorney-General Michelle Rowland on Tuesday.

 

Over and over again throughout the interview Rowland was asked by ABC’s David Speers to clarify whether the new laws could see activist groups banned for criticizing Israel and opposing its genocidal atrocities in a way that causes Jewish Australians to feel upset feelings, and she refused to rule out the possibility every single time.

 

“Let’s just go to what it means in practice: would a group be banned if it accuses Israel of genocide or apartheid, and as a result, Jewish Australians do feel intimidated?” Speers asked.

 

Rowland didn’t say no, instead saying “there are a number of other factors that would need to be satisfied there” and saying that agencies like the Australian Federal Police (A.F.P.) and the Australian Intelligence Security Organisation (ASIO) would need to make assessments of the situation.

 

“Okay, just coming back to the practical example though, if a group is suggesting that Israel is guilty of genocide, what other measures or factors would need to be met before they can be banned?” Speers asked.

 

“Under the provisions that are now before the parliament, there would also need to be able to demonstrate that there are for example, some aspects of state laws that deal with racial vilification that have been met as well,” Rowland responded, again leaving the possibility wide open.

 

(It should here be noted that Greens justice spokesperson Sen. David Shoebridge has pointed out that “state laws that deal with racial vilification” can include “tests like ‘ridicule’ and ‘contempt’,” meaning people could wind up spending years in prison for associating with groups that were essentially banned for upsetting someone’s feelings.)

 

“Just to be clear, if a group is saying Israel is engaged in genocide, or they’re saying that Israel should no longer exist, that is not enough for that group to be banned?” asked Speers.

 

“Well, again, that would depend on the other evidence that is gathered, David, so I would be reluctant to be naming and ruling in and ruling out specific kinds of conduct that you are describing here,” Rowland replied.

 

All this waffling can safely interpreted as a yes. Rowland is saying yes. Speers pushed this question three different times from three different angles because it’s the most immediate and obvious concern about these new laws, and instead of reassuring the public that they can’t be used to target pro-Palestine groups and aren’t intended for that purpose, the nation’s Attorney General confirmed that it was indeed possible.

Immigration Officials Allow Suspect in $100M Jewelry Heist to Self Deport, Avoiding Trial

 

Federal immigration authorities allowed a suspect in a $100 million jewelry heist believed to be the largest in U.S. history to deport himself to South America in December, a move that stunned and upset prosecutors who were planning to try the case and send him to prison.

 

Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores was one of seven people charged last year with stalking an armored truck to a rural freeway rest stop north of Los Angeles and stealing millions worth of diamonds, emeralds, gold, rubies and designer watches in 2022.

 

Flores faced up to 15 years in federal prison if convicted on charges of conspiracy to commit theft from interstate and foreign shipment and theft from interstate and foreign shipment. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

 

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported Flores in late December after he requested voluntary departure, prosecutors said in court filings.

 

ICE did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

 

Flores’ attorney, John D. Robertson, motioned to dismiss the indictment against his client, asking for the charges to be permanently dropped and the case closed.

 

Federal prosecutors oppose the motion and say they still hope to bring Flores to trial, asking for charges to be dropped “without prejudice” to keep the door open for criminal prosecution in the future.

 

Despite Flores being a lawful permanent resident and released on bail, he was taken into ICE custody in September, according to court filings from his defense attorneys. Federal prosecutors say they were unaware Flores had an immigration detainer.

 

This was a violation of his criminal prosecution rights and warrants his case getting dismissed, Robertson said in his motion.

 

Flores opted for deportation to Chile during a Dec. 16 immigration hearing, according to court documents. The judge denied his voluntary departure application but issued a final order of removal, and he was sent to Ecuador.

 

“Prosecutors are supposed to allow the civil immigration process to play out independently while criminal charges are pending,” federal prosecutors wrote in their motion opposing the case dismissal. “That is exactly what they did in this case — unwittingly to defendant’s benefit in that he will now avoid trial, and any potential conviction and sentence, unless and until he returns to the United States.”

 

What happened to Flores is extremely unusual, especially in a case of this significance, former federal prosecutor Laurie Levenson said.

 

Ordinarily, if a criminal defendant had immigration proceedings against them — which is common — immigration officials would inform prosecutors what was happening. In minor cases, a defendant can sometimes choose to self-deport in lieu of prosecution.

 

“It’s just beyond me how they would deport him without the prosecutors … being in on the conversation,” Levenson said. “This really was the left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing.”

 

The jewelers who were stolen from are also demanding answers.

Trump’s Take

$1,834,011,315

 

Cash and gifts received by Trump over the past 443 days.

 

Cashing in on the presidency

“Trump’s Take” is a real-time financial tracker documenting the cash and gifts that President Donald Trump and his family have received by selling the presidency. For our purposes, the family includes President Trump, Melania Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump, hereafter referred to collectively as the “Trump family,” but excludes Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

 

Trump has made most of the cash by launching his own crypto ventures—reversing his outspoken, skeptical stance on crypto—while aggressively deregulating the industry. Trump takes a cut in cash from the trades and sales of the family’s coins and tokens along with stablecoin interest. The “take” is the cash he has received calculated in real time, based on actual trading activity and stablecoin interest. It can only go up. We have also added the value of the gifts, legal settlements, and the income from Melania Trump’s documentary paid directly to Trump or to his presidential library.

 

Due to the complex nature of these earnings, which are channeled through multiple financial vehicles, our calculations are constantly being updated and refined. A comprehensive methodology detailing the determination of the Trump family’s crypto income is available here.

 

We have excluded income from assets Trump had before his November 2024 election victory—including real estate, hotels, licensing deals, and more—even though their value has inarguably increased as a result of his election. We made one notable exception by including income from his first crypto venture, World Liberty Financial Inc. (WLFI). WLFI launched in September 2024, and nearly all of the income from this venture was made after his election in November of the same year.

Jared Kushner's 'New Gaza' Vision Is Utterly Disconnected From Palestinians' Reality

 

After weeks of anticipation, the Trump-led Board of Peace proved to be what most expected, a vainty project of fallicies and shortfalls

 

The second day of the World Economic Forum's annual gathering in Davos, Switzerland, was headlined by U.S. President Donald Trump's launch of his Board of Peace – his half-baked vanity project that is meant to somehow both complement and replace the United Nations as an international body aimed at serving as the supposed authority on the global order.

The logical fallacies and practical shortfalls of the imperial quasi-judicial governing body are clear: the lack of full buy-in from the international community, no Palestinian representation on the board itself, whose executive board is filled with people who have repeatedly shown they're unequipped to actually advance Israeli-Palestinian peace, together with unqualified real estate tycoons.

The Davos ceremony only fueled suspicions that this project is less about overseeing Israeli–Palestinian peace in the post–Gaza war era than about advancing Trump's own ambition to reframe the international order as a ring-kissing enterprise, in which world leaders are not equals but chess pieces positioned to fight each other in the ongoing global palace intrigue for Trump's heart and mind.

It was a presentation about the future of Gaza by Jared Kushner, U.S. envoy and member of the Executive Board, that revealed the alarming manifestations of Trump's vision. A Dubai-like skyline by the sea, an airport, a seaport, a transportation hub, all featured in the AI-generated pitch-deck that reportedly has contractors already in a mad dash to secure potential contracts, primarily in logistics.

 

It should be noted that the figures spearheading this vision come from the most contentious elements of Trump's second term, including officials who previously had leading roles in stripping down the U.S. government to the studs through the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, as well as in efforts purportedly aimed at cracking down on domestic antisemitism – often through aggressive interventions in American higher education.

Kushner's presentation, like so much of Trump 2.0's approach to this conflict, was devoid of any genuine consideration for Palestinian realities – including a slide with Arabic reading in the incorrect direction. His plan is disconnected from the reality where Israel is already taking active steps in formulating a new reality on the ground.

"We were toying with the idea of having a Hamas Zone then a Free Zone. Then we said 'you know what, let's just plan for catastrophic success," he flippantly said. This goes without mentioning the caked-in ethical conflicts surrounding a plan centered on "coastal tourism" while he actively runs billions in investments from countries with apparent stakes in the reconstruction.

For Kushner, his success in securing the Israel-Hamas cease-fire and the release of the hostages has clearly fueled a sense of collective validation that the Kushner-Witkoff vision of economic-centered reconstruction plan is the path forward – all while Gaza continues to be plagued by acute crises, like a lack of medical supplies or exposure to harsh weather without adequate shelter, whose solutions may be less ambitious but far more urgent for the daily lives of Palestinians.

 

Like previous ambitious Kushner-steered plans on the conflict dating back to Trump's first term, such as 2019's Peace to Prosperity plan and 2020's so-called Deal of the Century, his shiny presentation in Davos grossly failed to contend with facts on the ground, and was instead meant to shoehorn his own limited-yet-specific interpretation of the world onto a conflict for which he is simply out over his skis.

Rather than promoting delusions of grandeur to the world's most powerful billionaires in the Swiss Alps, Kushner could have lent his public support to the international NGOs actually capable and familiar with the landscape to deliver the required humanitarian assistance. Instead, Palestinian lives are once again reduced to data points in the service of Trump's ego and Kushner's business portfolio.

Huckabee Defends Christian Zionism as 'Biblical Revelation' After Jerusalem Churches Condemn 'Damaging' Ideology

 

The churches' statement against Christian Zionism, which it says 'misleads the public, sows confusion,' was reportedly triggered by a meeting between Huckabee and the founder of the Forum for Christian Enlistment in the Israeli military

 

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee pushed back this week against an unusual rebuke from Jerusalem's senior Christian clergy, after church leaders warned that Christian Zionism has become a "damaging" ideology used by "actors in Israel who seek to push a political agenda."

Posting on his personal X account on Tuesday, Huckabee – an evangelical Christian – wrote that "It's hard for me to understand why everyone who takes on the moniker 'Christian' would not also be a Zionist.

"It's not a commitment to a particular government or government policy, but to the Biblical revelation as given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."

He was responding to a joint statement released Saturday by the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem – leaders representing Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Armenian and other churches in the city. They warned that "recent activities undertaken by local individuals who advance damaging ideologies, such as Christian Zionism, mislead the public, sow confusion, and harm the unity of our flock."

 

The statement added that "these undertakings have found favor among certain political actors in Israel and beyond who seek to push a political agenda which may harm the Christian presence in the Holy Land and the wider Middle East."

The churches' statement did not cite any specific incident prompting the church leaders' condemnation, but was reportedly issued following a meeting earlier this month between Huckabee and a Christian former Israeli army colonel.

The New Arab reported on Tuesday that Huckabee met with Ehab Shalyam, an Eastern Orthodox Christian citizen of Israel, founder of the Forum for Christian Enlistment in the Israeli military, and leader of the Zionist group Israeli Christian Voice, a group which believes Christians should be identified as "distinct from Arab".

 

Khalil Sayegh, a political analyst and founder of D.C.-based Agora Initiative, which educates about Palestinian life under occupation, told The New Arab that the meeting of Shalyam's group was concerning because of his lack of engagement with recognized church leaders, despite claiming to represent Israel's Christian community.

"The announcement from the Jerusalem churches serves as a reminder that it is the churches and their leaders who represent the Christian people," Sayegh told the outlet, "not these groups funded by Zionists and the Israeli government to speak on behalf of Christians while distorting the picture of Israel as the sole protector".

Sayegh said Israel Christian Voice spreads the message that "Christians need to have more power, and the way to power is to be on the Israeli side."

Shalyam's meeting with Huckabee, Sayegh said, points to backing "likely coming from the Israeli government".

Huckabee is a longtime supporter of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and has consistently rejected the term "West Bank," in favor of the biblical reference, "Judea and Samaria," and has participated in several settlement tours alongside representatives from regional settlement councils.

Atlanta heroin kingpin sentenced to federal prison after record-setting seizures

 

ATLANTA - Antonio DaShawn Daniels, a/k/a “Freckleface Shawn,” a/k/a “Pecas,” who was convicted at trial in June of 2025, has been sentenced to 40 years in federal prison for trafficking heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine, and for possessing 40 firearms in his Atlanta stash house.

 

“Supplied by the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), Daniels’s drug trafficking organization devastated hundred, if not thousands, of lives through its large-scale distribution of heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine,” said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. “Daniels was one of the largest heroin and fentanyl distributors to ever operate in Georgia, and his conviction and sentencing are the direct result of the tireless efforts of skilled prosecutors, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and our local law enforcement partners.”

 

“This investigation tore apart a drug trafficking network responsible for dealing drugs in communities across the region,” said FBI Atlanta Special Agent in Charge Paul Brown. “This operation shows what can be accomplished when there is collaboration between federal and local law enforcement agencies.”

 

“This drug trafficking organization is part of a ruthless criminal network that profits from drugs, guns, and bloodshed,” said Jae W. Chung, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Division.

 

According to U.S. Attorney Hertzberg, the charges, and other information presented in court: Daniels was the leader of a large-scale drug trafficking organization that operated from at least August of 2018 until Daniels’s arrest on July 27, 2020. The investigation began in 2019, when federal agents discovered a drug ledger that showed that Daniels had received over 1,000 kilograms of cocaine in an 18-month span, and that Daniels paid over $31 million for it. Agents secured several court-approved wiretaps on Daniels’s phones, enabling them to identify key members of the Daniels organization and discern its large-scale reach.

 

The investigation culminated in a July 27, 2020 takedown that resulted in record-setting drug seizures. Specifically, agents seized approximately 28 kilograms of heroin (17 of which were mixed with fentanyl), six kilograms of cocaine, eight kilograms of marijuana, and more than $2.1 million in cash inside the apartment in Atlanta where Daniels was arrested. Forty firearms were stashed throughout the apartment, along with kilo-presses, scales, strainers with white powder residue, and a money counter.

 

Agents also searched a residence in Atlanta that served as another stash location for the organization. Inside that home, agents seized over 142 kilograms of heroin, nearly all of which was mixed with fentanyl. At the time of the takedown, this was the largest seizure of heroin in Georgia’s history.

TD Bank Insider Pleads Guilty to Facilitating Colombian ATM Money Laundering Scheme

 

NEWARK – A former New Jersey-based employee of TD Bank, N.A., Oscar Marcel Nunez-Flores (“Nunez”), pleaded guilty today to accepting bribes in return for facilitating a money laundering network’s movement of over $26 million to Colombia through TD Bank accounts.

 

Nunez, 34, of North Plainfield, New Jersey, pleaded guilty before the Honorable Esther Salas to a two-count Information charging him with conspiring to launder monetary instruments and for receipt of bribes by a bank employee. He is scheduled to be sentenced on May 27.

 

“This case shows how complex money laundering schemes often depend on insiders who are willing to bend—or break—basic safeguards. Our office will continue to identify, investigate, and prosecute those who turn financial institutions into vehicles for large-scale criminal activity.”

 

  • Senior Counsel Philip Lamparello

 

“Mr. Nunez afforded his co-conspirators unfettered access to TD Bank, while lining his own pockets in the process, and has been held to account, as will be others who abuse the financial system,” said Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva. “The Criminal Division is committed to protecting the security of our financial system and the Bank Integrity Unit is at the vanguard of that critical mission.”

 

According to court filings and statements in court, beginning in March 2021 and continuing until his arrest in October 2023, Nunez, then a TD Bank employee in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, accepted bribes and leveraged his position to facilitate a money laundering network’s expatriation of over $26 million from the United States to Colombia. Through the course of his scheme, Nunez opened dozens of accounts in the names shell companies with nominee owners. Nunez knew that the purported owners were not actually controlling the accounts and, in fact, often opened the accounts without any customer present whatsoever. The accounts Nunez opened in furtherance of the scheme were collectively issued over 600 debit cards, primarily by Nunez himself. These debit cards were then used to make over 120,000 withdrawals at ATMs throughout Colombia.

 

Nunez also participated in the conspiracy in other ways. For example, after issuing debit cards to a fraudulent account, he shipped them directly to a co-conspirator in Colombia. Additionally, Nunez registered shell companies in New Jersey and then opened accounts in their names at TD Bank in furtherance of the money laundering scheme. Nunez opened these accounts in exchange for a fee ranging from approximately $500 to $2,500, which was typically paid either in cash or through a peer-to-peer digital payment network.

 

The charge of money laundering conspiracy carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of $500,000 or twice the amount involved in the offense, whichever is greater. The charge of receipt of bribes by a bank employee carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a fine of $1,000,000 or three times the amount involved in the offense, whichever is greater.

Texas AG Starts Investigation Into Vaccine-Related Financial Incentives

 

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Jan. 21 said he’s investigating incentives related to vaccinating children.

 

Attorney General Ken Paxton opened a landmark investigation into the multi-level, multi-industry scheme that has illegally incentivized medical providers to recommend childhood vaccines that are not proven to be safe or necessary. The wide-sweeping investigation will analyze an incentivization framework that has historically forced Texas kids to receive over 70 shots from birth to age 18 in order to continue receiving medical care.

 

The investigation will examine whether pediatric medical providers, insurance companies, vaccine manufacturers, or other entities engaged in deceptive or unlawful conduct by failing to disclose financial incentives connected to their administration of childhood vaccines. The investigation comes as children across the state are expelled from pediatric practices and denied medical care based on their vaccination status. Doctors’ wages, bonuses, and even employment often hinge on the number of vaccinations they administer.

 

As part of the investigation, Attorney General Paxton is issuing over 20 Civil Investigative Demands (“CIDs”) to some of the largest medical providers, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical manufacturers in the country, including entities like UnitedHealthcare and Pfizer.

 

“I will ensure that Big Pharma and Big Insurance don’t bribe medical providers to pressure parents to jab their kids with vaccines they feel aren’t safe or necessary,” said Attorney General Paxton. “Alongside President Trump and Secretary Kennedy’s significant efforts to ensure safety when it comes to childhood vaccines, my office will fight to protect kids’ health and uphold transparency in the medical industry. Together, we will Make America Healthy Again. Texans deserve to have full faith in the recommendations of their medical providers—particularly when it involves the health of their children. I will not tolerate a ‘carrot and stick’ approach to healthcare recommendations. Any provider or entity whose medical guidance is fueled by financial incentives from an insurance company, Big Pharma, or otherwise will be exposed.”

 

President Trump and Secretary Kennedy are already implementing important reforms regarding childhood vaccines, highlighting the Trump Administration’s commitment to Gold Standard Science as opposed to the Biden’s Administration’s policy of pushing as many possible shots into as many arms as possible. Attorney General Paxton is committed to furthering the momentum of parental choice in childhood vaccination decisions.

GFN – DOESBURG (Netherlands) – In the early hours of Wednesday, 21 January 2026, the Zilvermuseum Doesburg, a small museum housed inside the historic Martinikerk in the Gelderland town of Doesburg, was completely robbed of its antique silver collection in what authorities are treating as a major burglary. The theft — involving more than 300 precious silver objects representing centuries of craftsmanship from around the world — has left museum officials, local authorities, and heritage advocates stunned.

 

At approximately 4:30 a.m., two unknown individuals forced their way into the church through a tower entrance, used a crowbar to breach the museum’s doors, and smashed all 14 display vitrines before departing with the entire silver collection, police and museum statements confirm.

 

“The entire collection of antique silver has been stolen.”

— Museum press release, Zilvermuseum Doesburg (translated)

 

A Cultural Loss Beyond Its Weight in Silver

The collection, assembled over decades and sourced from more than 20 countries, featured objects ranging from ornate silver mustard pots and spoons to intricate cruet sets tied to the butter, vinegar, and tobacco trades. Among the stolen pieces was a unique silver mustard pot and spoon specially designed for the museum by silversmith Marcel Blok, symbolizing the meandering IJssel River and bearing the city coat of arms of Doesburg — an item that “does not exist anywhere else in the world.”

 

Museum chairman Ernst Boesveld told local media that only some ceramics on temporary display were left undisturbed by the thieves, and that the museum is now closed indefinitely as investigators work the scene. He emphasized that while financial loss from the theft — estimated in the tens of thousands of euros — is significant, the emotional and historical damage is far greater.

FBI’s use of Sedition Hunters as paid J6 informants raises questions about Wray's 'reform' promises

 

Steele 2.0? FBI Director Kash Patel told Just the News that "paying openly anti-Trump activists to identify Americans using questionable technology" was "a clear violation of longstanding informant rules."

 

The Biden-era FBI made more than $100,000 in payments to informants who were members of an anonymous group of tech sleuths known as the "Sedition Hunters" to gather and analyze video evidence in the January 6 Capitol riot — echoing the bureau’s reliance on paid FBI informant and British ex-spy Christopher Steele in 2016.

 

Just the News reported this week that the FBI made payments to a number of so-called "sedition hunters" as confidential human sources (CHS) as part of the January 6 Capitol riot and Arctic Frost probes despite the online network’s significant anti-Trump pronouncements and known ties to foreigners.

 

The payments are due to be disclosed by FBI Director Kash Patel to Congress along with acknowledged concerns that the Christopher Wray-run bureau’s approval of certain members of the Sedition Hunters as confidential human sources may have violated bureau policies concerning informant bias, informant secrecy, foreign influence, and contracting transparency, officials said.

 

Reminiscent of the ill-fated "Crossfire Hurricane" lawfare campaign

The revelations of source payments are certain to revive FBI concerns among Republicans that date back to the now-discredited Crossfire Hurricane probe, where agents used Steele as a CHS to pursue unsubstantiated allegations of Trump colluding with Russia. This was despite Steele’s foreign connections, his clear anti-Trump bias, and his work as a contractor for the campaign law firm of Trump’s main 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton. Wray had promised significant reforms in the wake of the 2016 debacle at the bureau.

 

Steele was eventually terminated in November 2016 as an FBI informant for violating his confidentiality requirements as a confidential human source, disclosing his role with the bureau, and making unauthorized disclosures to the media.

 

Government officials said a half decade later, the bureau may have entered into another troubling relationship by treating members of the Sedition Hunters as informants in a new Trump probe when, in fact, they were essentially performing computer analysis contract work identifying January 6 defendants around the Capitol and clearly expressed dislike for Trump.

 

FBI burned by decision to deploy the Steele Dossier against Trump

DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz uncovered huge flaws with the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation in a December 2019 report, finding at least 17 “significant errors and omissions” related to the FISA warrants targeting former Trump campaign associate Carter Page. Horowitz also criticized the “central and essential” role of Steele’s debunked dossier in the FBI’s politicized FISA surveillance. Steele, a years-long FBI CHS, had been hired by the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which was being paid by Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias. Elias was later fined for "misleading" filings to the court in his advocacy for Democratic Party candidates.

 

The DOJ watchdog also said Steele’s alleged main source — Russian national Igor Danchenko — “contradicted the allegations of a ‘well-developed conspiracy’ in” Steele’s dossier. Danchenko was made an FBI CHS for years after 2016, up until his indictment by now-former special counsel John Durham.

 

Horowitz’s report noted that Steele’s FBI interview “highlighted discrepancies between Steele’s presentation of information in the election reporting and the views of his Primary Sub-source” — Danchenko — and “revealed bias against Trump.”

oh FFS the lameness of it all

 

Enormous bruise spotted on Donald Trump's hand

 

"At the Board of Peace event today in Davos, President Trump hit his hand in the corner of the signing table, causing it to bruise," Leavitt said.

Though there were many cameras in the room, the moment does not appear to have been filmed.

This year the president has frequently had a prominent bruise on his right hand.

At other times, his hand has been covered in a thick coating of makeup or with a large Band-Aid.

The White House has said the bruise stems from shaking so many hands.

 

But the president does not shake hands with his left hand.

Trump previously told the Wall Street Journal that he was taking 325mg of aspirin a day, more than three times the daily recommended dose unless you have pain, fever or inflammation.

"They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don't want thick blood pouring through my heart," he said.

"I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart."

A person with thin blood is more likely to bruise.

The Journal also reported his hand started bleeding after getting a high-five from now-Attorney-General Pam Bondi at last year's Republican National Convention.
