Epstein Flight Logs Set for Thursday Release.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that the Justice Department (DOJ) is set to release additional information about billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, including his flight logs, on Thursday. This follows pressure from the House Federal Secrets taskforce, which urged the department to provide more details about Epstein, who allegedly killed himself in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.

Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, has been convicted of several crimes, including sex trafficking. Prior to his death, Epstein was previously found guilty of sex offenses involving minors.

During an interview with Jesse Watters, Bondi explained the delay in releasing materials, noting the necessity of protecting the identities and personal information of over 250 alleged victims. “You can expect to see a lot of flight logs and names released, though it’s disturbing what that man did,” Bondi stated, highlighting the anticipated disclosure.

This move coincides with a recent executive order signed by President Donald J. Trump, which declassifies documents related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Sr., and Martin Luther King Jr.

Illegal Migrant Faces Charges for Shooting Three Women.

A Mexican national, previously deported from the U.S., has been charged in connection with a multiple shooting in Michigan, according to local media outlets. Gilberto Hernandez-Mendez, 42, faces eleven charges, including murder, attempted murder, and several weapons violations. The charges stem from a February 22 incident in Alpine Township, a northern suburb of Grand Rapids.

Police allege that Hernandez-Mendez shot three women at a residence in the early hours of the morning following a domestic dispute, according to investigators. Officers responding to the scene discovered Norma Ramirez-Martinez, 56, deceased. She was identified as the mother of the suspect’s ex-girlfriend. The ex-girlfriend and another woman were injured in the shooting. Authorities indicated that two daughters of the ex-girlfriend also sustained injuries. The suspect fled the scene but was apprehended roughly four hours afterward.

Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker described the violence as part of a troubling trend, noting, “This is the third domestic dispute-related homicide in Kent County within a month.” He confirmed that Hernandez-Mendez had previously been deported for entering the country illegally and faces federal immigration charges. An immigration detainer is currently in place against him.

President Donald J. Trump announced the opening of a 30,000-bed detention facility on the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in January for the most dangerous illegals, including illegal immigrants too dangerous to return to their home countries. This may include people like Hernandez-Mendez, who have demonstrated a capacity to return to the U.S. and carry out crimes even after being removed from the country.

Exposing the Fake DOGE Protests.

Protests against Elon Musk’s government spending cuts—framed as grassroots backlash—were orchestrated by left-wing groups backed by Soros-funded organizations.

Background: For weeks, protests have taken place at Republican town halls nationwide, targeting Musk and the cuts being made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Reality check: The protests were organized by left-wing activist groups Indivisible and MoveOn, which received grants from left-wing billionaire megadonor George Soros.

  • Indivisible got over $10 million from Soros-linked donors
  • MoveOn accepted millions directly from Soros’ Open Society affiliates

The media lies: Mainstream media outlets like The New York Times, CBS, and The Washington Post have cited these protests as proof of bipartisan outrage against Musk. But none of their articles mention the organizers’ partisan ties.

Example of media propaganda: One of the faux organic protests took place at a town hall for Georgia Republican Rep. Rich McCormick. CBS reported on the “backlash” and included a quote from a woman named Maggie Goldman, describing her as a McCormick constituent.

  • The truth is: She does not live in McCormick’s district. She’s a Democrat political activist who helped Pete Buttigieg’s failed 2020 presidential campaign. CBS made no mention of this.

What do Americans think? Seventy-six percent support the DOGE mission “to find and eliminate fraud and waste in government.”

Big picture: Isn’t it ironic that the left is opposed to a billionaire [Musk] participating in the Trump administration’s efforts to cut waste—but it has no problem with a billionaire [Soros] funding fake protests?

Absolute Muppets: NGO Got $17 Million to Promote ‘Democracy,’ Made a Puppet Show.

A left-wing non-governmental organization (NGO) was given $17 million in U.S. taxpayer cash to promote “democracy,” but all they produced was a low-quality Muppets knock-off puppet show. The puppet programming reportedly achieved only around 200 views per episode.

The States United Democracy Center was founded by Norm Eisen, an attorney who was a key figure in the first sham impeachment of President Donald J. Trump during his first term. Eisen also founded a new media company with hysterical anti-Trump writer Jennifer Rubin this year after Rubin quit her position at The Washington Post.

DataRepublican, a researcher who posts about government waste on X, exposed the States United Democracy Center as having received the millions in cash while only producing the puppet show. Formerly anonymous, DataRepublican stated her name to be Jennica Pounds after apparently being doxxed.

Pounds, who is deaf, says she has left her job to aid efforts in tracking U.S. government waste using artificial intelligence (AI) and is awaiting the results of a background check to work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Pounds has estimated that there is as much as $100 billion in government waste or more.

Following his inauguration, President Trump has suspended or cut massive amounts of foreign aid, including downsizing USAID, which has spent billions on bizarre, woke projects around the world that often undermine American strategic interests.

Feds Investigate ‘Influencer’ for Calling for Elon Musk’s Murder.

Federal agents are reportedly probing a social media “influencer” over a video calling for the assassination of tech billionaire Elon Musk. Sarah C. Roberts explicitly called for the killing of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief on TikTok.

Roberts, who has around 4,000 followers on the social media platform, posted a video where she mimicked a throat-slitting gesture accompanied by the words, “We need to X him,” referring to Elon Musk. She elaborated, “And by X, I mean formally known as assassination.”

In addition to these violent remarks, the New Yorker seemed to boast about not filing taxes for approximately eight years. “Arrest me,” she stated, challenging law enforcement.

The video was subsequently shared on X by the account Libs of TikTok, attracting over 16 million views, including one from Musk himself. Musk alerted Ed Martin, the U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C., about the post.

Musk labeled the video’s comments as a “death threat and admission of multiple counts of tax fraud” and remarked on the audacity of individuals admitting crimes publicly. Martin acknowledged the video with a response, saying, “Thx for letting us know. We’ll put you in the system. Talk soon, M’am.”

Musk has previously claimed there have been at least two assassination plots against him in the past. Last year also saw two unsuccessful attempts to murder President Donald J. Trump.

Bezos Says WaPo Opinion Page Will Defend ‘Personal Liberties & Free Markets’ — Sparking Leftist Outrage.

Online retail and space technology billionaire Jeff Bezos, owner of The Washington Post, announced changes to the newspaper’s opinion section on Wednesday, stating it would now focus on promoting “personal liberties and free markets.” The move is a notable shift from The Washington Post‘s more liberal internationalist positions and promotion of political progressivism over recent decades.

The move prompted the resignation of opinion editor David Shipley. Additionally, Bezos’s announcement has been met with pushback and dissatisfaction from the newspaper’s reporting staff and subscribers. “Massive encroachment by Jeff Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section today – makes clear dissenting views will not be published or tolerated there,” economics reporter Jeff Stein—one The Washington Post‘s more notable journalists in Washington, D.C., wrote in response. He added: “I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side of coverage, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know.”

THE ‘LAST STRAW.’ 

Meanwhile, subscribers posted their cancellation requests on social media. Attorney and CNN, NBC, and Fox News legal analyst Jeffrey Gold declared the announcement the “Last straw” and posted a screenshot of his alleged cancellation notice. Likewise, the anonymous X (formerly Twitter) account Sundae Gurl, which boasts well over 100,000 followers, posted that they were canceling their subscription and declared that Bezos had “picked a side” in choosing to defend free markets and individual liberties. The sentiment reflected a great deal of the political left’s reaction to Bezos’s decision—raising the question as to why the American left now believes personal liberties to be an issue purely in the domain of the political right.

Not all Washington Post employees were as concerned as Stein. Dan Lamonthe, a military affairs reporter at the newspaper, assured the audience that the core mission of delivering hard-hitting journalism remained unchanged. Additionally, The Washington Post‘s publisher, Will Lewis, addressed the staff, denying any political bias behind the mandate and describing it as a clear statement of the newspaper’s values.

Agriculture Secretary Rollins Announces $1 Billion Plan to Slash Egg Prices.

President Donald J. Trump‘s Department of Agriculture Secretary (USDA), Brooke Rollins, has laid out a plan to reduce egg prices. “This five-point strategy won’t erase the problem overnight, but we’re confident that it will restore stability to the egg market over the next three to six months,” Rollins said on Wednesday, adding: “This approach will also ensure stability over the next four years and beyond.”

Egg prices have climbed significantly in recent months, driven largely by a widespread disease outbreak that has resulted in poultry cullings limiting supply. President Trump’s administration has been committed to lowering consumer costs, a key campaign promise for the America First leader. Recent polls suggest addressing this issue is crucial to maintaining the President’s favorable approval ratings.

Rollins pointed to ongoing incidents of highly pathogenic avian influenza, or bird flu, as a significant factor causing the price increase. To combat this, she announced a $1 billion investment dedicated to controlling bird flu, funded partly by savings identified by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The investment includes $500 million for biosecurity initiatives to help stop the flu’s spread among poultry producers. Another $400 million is earmarked for those producers experiencing significant production declines due to the flu, and $100 million will support vaccine research.

Currently, poultry farmers typically cull infected flocks to combat flu outbreaks. However, Rollins expressed optimism that vaccinations could lessen the need for this practice, ensuring a more stable supply. Additionally, she promised to explore possibilities for deregulating the industry to promote efficiency, and is considering egg imports as a temporary measure to boost supply.

German Right Targets NGOs for Political Bias After Election Win.

Germany’s Christian Democrats, formerly led by Angela Merkel, are scrutinizing public funding for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) following their recent electoral victory. A parliamentary inquiry has been launched by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian counterpart, the Christian Social Union (CSU), targeting NGOs that lack “political neutrality.”

The inquiry follows nationwide protests prompted by CDU leader Friedrich Merz’s cooperation with the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) in a failed attempt to curb illegal immigration. The CDU notes that some of the protests appeared to be organized by “state-funded organizations,” amounting to “targeted party-political influence.”

Since then, the CDU has placed first in national elections and is anticipated to lead the next government—likely with the left, as it cooperates with Germany’s other parties in shutting out the second-placed AfD.

The inquiry, signed by CDU leader Merz and CSU parliamentary group leader Alexander Dobrindt, demands details on public funding for various non-profit organizations. Among the groups highlighted are influential think tanks Agora Energiewende and Dezernat Zukunft, environmental organizations like Greenpeace and BUND, and media outlet Correctiv.

President Donald J. Trump has been moving to defund activist organizations of government funding in the United States, with the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and its supporters complaining it is “under siege” by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and “crippled” by funding freezes, for instance.

Texas Rancher Killed in Border IED Attack by Cartel.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller issued a statement on Tuesday confirming that rancher Antonio Céspedes Saldierna, 74, was killed when the truck he was driving struck an improvised explosive device (IED) in Brownsville, Texas. The explosive device, reportedly planted by cartel members, also took the life of Horacio Lopez Pena. Lopez’s wife, Ninfa Griselda Ortega, sustained severe injuries and is hospitalized.

In the statement, Miller called for increased vigilance among Texas farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers, especially those operating near the border or traveling to Mexico. He advised avoiding dirt roads, remaining on main roads, traveling during daylight, and steering clear of known cartel-controlled areas.

The tragedy draws attention to the escalating violence at the border, which has disrupted not only individual lives but also the security of Texas’s agriculture industry. Miller stressed the importance of the Lower Rio Grande Valley to the state’s agricultural output and reiterated the need for heightened security measures.

President Donald J. Trump has designated several cartels “foreign terrorist organizations,” potentially allowing for military action against them. The America First leader has also successfully pressured the Canadian government into designating the cartels as terrorist groups, after threatening them with tariffs.

In Mexico, where the cartels wield enormous influence, progress has been more mixed. America’s southern neighbor has agreed that U.S. special forces will train Mexican personnel to better combat the cartels. Still, far-left President Claudia Sheinbaum is warning the U.S. not to take actions that might undermine Mexican sovereignty.

Trump to Host First Cabinet Meeting, with Elon Musk Present.

Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk will attend the inaugural Cabinet meeting of President Donald J. Trump’s second term on Wednesday. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has confirmed Musk’s participation, noting his role in spearheading the Trump administration’s cost-cutting efforts.

According to Leavitt, Musk will brief the Cabinet on DOGE’s mission to root out inefficiency, focusing on how Cabinet secretaries are tackling waste, fraud, and abuse within their agencies. “He’ll be sharing updates on DOGE’s efforts and the collaborative work happening across the administration,” Leavitt said during a Tuesday press briefing.

Musk’s presence at the meeting, typically reserved for the President, Vice President, Cabinet secretaries, and the White House chief of staff, comes amid ongoing efforts by DOGE to slash federal spending and streamline the government workforce, a priority in Trump’s first month back in office.

Musk, who holds the status of a “special government employee” with a White House office and email but draws no salary, has been the public face of DOGE’s aggressive cost-cutting agenda. However, the White House has emphasized that Musk does not formally head DOGE or wield unilateral decision-making power. This clarification came in response to a lawsuit from several Democratic state attorneys general questioning the extent of Musk’s authority within the administration.

In court, the White House described him as a senior presidential advisor.
