    Trump Knew, and We ALL Know He Knew - Nobody Believes Him

    New FBI documents reveal that in July 2006, Trump called Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter to discuss Jeffrey Epstein's activities with minors. Trump told the chief "everyone knew" what Epstein was doing with teenage girls and described Ghislaine Maxwell as "evil." This FBI 302 interview report from October 2019 contradicts Trump's repeated denials about having knowledge of Epstein's crimes. The Miami Herald investigation by journalist Julie K. Brown uncovered this previously unreported phone call between Trump and Palm Beach police during the initial Epstein investigation. Chief Reiter's interview details how the case developed in 2005 when a 14-year-old victim came forward, leading to surveillance of Epstein's Palm Beach home where police observed underage girls with backpacks and braces. The investigation faced obstacles when US Attorney Alex Acosta gave Epstein a controversial plea deal in 2007 despite evidence involving nearly 40 underage victims. The original 53-count federal indictment would have resulted in 240 years to multiple life sentences, but Epstein served only 13 months in county jail with work release privileges. Palm Beach police referred the case to federal authorities in 2006, and Trump was among the first to contact police when news broke about the Epstein investigation. The FBI documents show Trump admitted being around Epstein when teenagers were present, directly contradicting his 2019 statement claiming he had no knowledge of Epstein molesting girls. Detective Joe Recarey led the Palm Beach investigation until his death in 2018, and boxes of evidence from his home were turned over to the FBI in 2019, leading to renewed federal charges against Epstein before his death in prison.

    Let's Talk About Stephen Miller - The Shadow President

    Stephen Miller has consolidated unprecedented power in Trump's second term, personally drafting or editing every single executive order signed by the president. The deputy White House chief of staff operates with virtually no oversight from Chief of Staff Susie Wiles or anyone else in the administration. Miller architected the deadly boat strikes off Venezuela that killed over 100 people without identifying victims or proving drug involvement. He designed aggressive immigration sweeps in Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Chicago, freelancing policy statements without White House approval. Miller pushed for military strikes inside Mexico against drug cartels and later advocated invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy troops in Minneapolis. Trump's polling numbers have plummeted, with the president now reportedly giving Miller side eye for the political damage. Miller uses Signal messaging app illegally to avoid Presidential Records Act requirements. He communicates directly with Kristi Noem at DHS, ordering ICE operations including factory raids Trump publicly opposed. Miller moved his family from a six million dollar Arlington home to a military base after sidewalk chalk protests. He operates beyond his immigration portfolio, making unauthorized statements on Greenland, Venezuela and foreign policy. Miller pushed to investigate liberal groups using counterterrorism methods employed after 9/11. Trump has questioned why Miller speaks on topics outside his authority. The Wall Street Journal reporting reveals Miller's influence over Trump's boundary pushing impulses continues despite mounting political costs and legal questions surrounding his unchecked power in the executive branch.

    The Real Reason Ice Agents Wear Masks

    Masked federal immigration agents are conducting unconstitutional raids across American cities, stopping citizens based solely on skin color and accent. ICE and Border Patrol officers hide their identities while detaining Americans without jurisdiction, violating Fourth Amendment protections and due process rights. Statistics reveal immigration agents face less danger than average civilians, yet they operate with masks and anonymity while regular police officers wear visible badges and name tags. Border Patrol and ICE have arrested nearly 5,000 of their own agents for crimes since 2005, with corruption rates exceeding those of undocumented immigrants. These masked federal agents have killed at least 40 people since last year, including Americans like Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Twin Cities residents, particularly Somali and Hispanic families with legal status, are hiding from immigration raids while thousands of students have stopped attending school. Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court decision gutted constitutional protections, enabling racial profiling by federal agents across the country. Immigration agents dragged an American woman from her car in Salem, Oregon, demanding papers despite having zero jurisdiction over US citizens. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara confirmed that ICE targets families based on ethnicity, not actual immigration status. Anonymity plus immunity equals impunity. When federal agents hide their faces while wielding deadly force, accountability disappears. Law enforcement officers should be identifiable public servants, not masked enforcers terrorizing communities. Constitutional rights mean nothing when anonymous agents operate without oversight or consequences.

    Trump Gets His 2020 Election Denial Band of Whackos Back Together

    Trump has reassembled his 2020 election conspiracy team as Tulsi Gabbard leads an FBI raid in Fulton County, Georgia, seizing 700 boxes of ballots from the 2020 election. The raid represents Trump's strategy to undermine the legitimacy of the 2026 midterm elections before they even happen. With Republicans facing devastating losses in both the House and Senate, Trump knows two years of Democratic investigations and multiple impeachments await him. Will Sommer reports on the batshit conspiracy theories fueling this election attack, from Sydney Powell's Venezuelan voting machine claims to the Hammer and Scorecard supercomputer theory. Tulsi Gabbard, as Director of National Intelligence, has no law enforcement authority yet accompanied FBI agents and called Trump from the scene. The investigation resurrects discredited conspiracy theorists like Dennis Montgomery and references Hugo Chavez, dead for years, supposedly influencing Dominion voting systems. Meanwhile, Dan Bongino returned to podcasting after his brief FBI stint, immediately landing a Trump interview where the president threatened to seize control of elections in 15 states. The connection between the Fulton County raid, Tulsi Gabbard's investigation, and Trump's 2026 midterm strategy reveals a coordinated effort to cast doubt on any Democratic victories. Sydney Powell hints at something big happening, while Trump reposts QAnon theories about Italian satellites and CIA programs flipping votes. The legitimacy of future elections hangs in the balance as Trump deploys every conspiracy theory and charlatan from 2020 to poison the well for 2026.

  5. Should People On The Left Start Arming Themselves?

    3D AGO

    Should People On The Left Start Arming Themselves?

    The question of whether people on the left should arm themselves becomes urgent when examining how law enforcement responds to heavily armed white protesters versus unarmed citizens of color. The Cliven Bundy standoff in 2014 reveals a disturbing pattern where 400 armed militia members pointed rifles at federal agents and local police negotiated their surrender of impounded cattle rather than enforce a court order. These armed protesters faced zero consequences while police called bloodshed over cattle unacceptable. Fast forward to the 2020 Michigan Capitol protest where armed white demonstrators in full tactical gear stormed the statehouse, blocked the senate floor, and stood in the gallery with AR-15s overlooking legislators. Law enforcement remained calm and professional, never deploying deadly force despite the obvious threat. The armed protest double standard becomes crystal clear when compared to the killings of George Floyd, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, and Renee Good. The Second Amendment discussion rarely acknowledges this racial component. When armed Black Panthers protested in California, Governor Ronald Reagan and the NRA immediately passed the Mulford Act banning open carry. Ruby Ridge and Waco involved white extremists, yet those incidents remain the rare exceptions where law enforcement confronted armed citizens. The militia movements and sovereign citizen ideology behind Bundy's resistance demonstrate how gun rights and political stance intersect with race in determining police response. Examining law enforcement professionalism through these cases raises uncomfortable questions about resistance, gun ownership on the left, and whether armed organization provides protection from hostile federal agencies. The pattern suggests heavily armed white protesters receive deescalation while unarmed people of color face deadly force. This armed resistance analysis challenges assumptions about Second Amendment rights and reveals the role race plays in determining who can safely exercise gun rights during political protest.

  6. Uber Jury Verdict: $8.5 Million Awarded in Rape Case Sets Precedent for 3,000 Lawsuits

    Uber Jury Verdict: $8.5 Million Awarded in Rape Case Sets Precedent for 3,000 Lawsuits

    A federal jury in Phoenix ordered Uber to pay $8.5 million to passenger Jaylen Dean after she was raped by an Uber driver in November 2023. This landmark verdict represents the first time Uber has been found liable in a sexual assault case, potentially affecting over 3,000 pending lawsuits against the rideshare company. The jury rejected Uber's longstanding defense that drivers are independent contractors rather than employees, establishing crucial legal precedent for future cases. Court records reveal that between 2017 and 2022, Uber received reports of sexual assault or misconduct approximately every 8 minutes in the United States. That amounts to at least seven reports per hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These numbers are widely believed to be dramatically underreported due to shame, fear, and victims' belief that nothing will be done. Evidence presented during the trial showed that Uber's internal systems flagged Jaylen Dean's ride as high risk for a serious safety incident moments before pickup, yet the company chose not to warn her, with executives testifying it would have been "impractical" to do so. This revelation undermines Uber's public claims about prioritizing rider safety above all else. The case highlights systemic failures in rideshare safety protocols and raises questions about liability when companies classify workers as independent contractors while simultaneously monitoring risk levels. Uber spokesperson Matt Colin stated the verdict "affirms that Uber acted responsibly" while simultaneously announcing plans to appeal. The plaintiff's attorneys had requested $144 million in damages. Uber maintains that 99.9% of rides occur without incident, though critics argue this statistic minimizes thousands of annual assault victims. The legal battle continues as rideshare companies face increasing scrutiny over sexual violence during rides.

  7. Jeffrey Epstein's 56-Page Federal Indictment

    5D AGO

    Jeffrey Epstein's 56-Page Federal Indictment

    The recently released 2007 draft federal indictment against Jeffrey Epstein reveals the full scope of charges that were prepared but never filed. The 56-page document outlined 32 felony counts involving 19 girls under the age of 18, spanning a six-year period from 2001 to 2007. The charges included conspiracy to defraud the United States, sex trafficking of minors, enticement of a minor, and facilitating unlawful travel for illicit sex acts. Twenty-five of these counts carried potential life sentences with mandatory minimums between 10 and 15 years. Federal prosecutors in West Palm Beach had assembled exhaustive evidence and prepared an 82-page prosecution memo to support the indictment. Instead of facing these charges, Epstein's high-priced legal team, including Ken Starr and Alan Dershowitz, negotiated a plea deal with US Attorney Alex Acosta that allowed Epstein to plead guilty to just two state charges. He served only 13 months in county jail with work release privileges, leaving the facility daily to work from his office. The draft indictment details how Epstein targeted vulnerable teenage girls, many from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and operated a systematic sex trafficking operation with the assistance of employees whose names remain redacted. The document reveals threats made to victims and a pattern of abuse that could have resulted in over 100 years of prison time if prosecuted. Hawk examines the legal framework, the specific charges, and the failure of justice that allowed Epstein to continue abusing minors for another 11 years until his 2019 arrest and death.

    Hawk & Shaana Talk Law and Politics

    Hawk sits down with his bestie - trial attorney and olive oil entrepreneur Shaana for an unfiltered conversation about the Supreme Court's shadow docket abuse, particularly the Texas gerrymandering case that enables racial discrimination in voting. The discussion covers how SCOTUS is dismantling constitutional protections through emergency rulings without oral arguments or proper opinions, leaving lower court judges with no guidance. The conversation shifts to Pam Bondi's tenure as Attorney General, examining her qualified background as Florida AG from 2010-2018 alongside her failures to investigate Jeffrey Epstein during that period. Despite her credentials, Bondi's DOJ has faced multiple grand jury rejections and court losses, including failed prosecutions and the spectacular dismissal of cases against James Comey and Letitia James. Hawk and Shaana analyze Justice Kavanaugh's concerning concurrence that carved out Fourth Amendment exceptions for ICE stops based solely on race and ethnicity. They explore how the current Supreme Court lacks the intellectual rigor of predecessors like Scalia, with justices like Alito producing poorly reasoned opinions while Thomas and Alito cherry-pick historical context to justify predetermined outcomes. The discussion touches on Supreme Court ethics violations, including Clarence Thomas's unreported gifts and Samuel Alito's luxury vacations from donors with business before the court. They examine how there are no ethics codes governing Supreme Court justices while state court judges face stringent rules.
