FBI Director Kash Patel is facing withering criticism from an alliance of active-duty and retired agents and analysts, days after the White House denied media reports that the president is about to fire him. A troubling new report card on the first six months of Patel’s leadership concludes he is “in over his head” and his deputy, Dan Bongino, is “something of a clown,” according to the alliance, which in two previous reports warned about crippling DEI and politicization of the FBI during the Biden administration. The Patel-led FBI is described in the 115-page report as a “rudderless ship” and “all f–ked up.” Patel is described by multiple internal sources as inexperienced,

Republican Matt Van Epps narrowly defeated Democrat Aftyn Behn in Tuesday’s hotly contested special election for Tennessee’s 7th District House seat.
Behn had raised Democrats’ hopes for an upset in the conservative stronghold after late polling showed the state lawmaker within striking distance of Van Epps, a former Army helicopter pilot backed by President Trump.
Van Epps led by about 6 percentage points with 85% of ballots counted Tuesday night, when the Associated Press called the race for the Republican at 9:37 p.m.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem publicly shredded Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) for what she claims is significant fraud in the state's visa programs. Noem reported to President Trump that, at his direction, she had looked into visa fraud in the North Star State, and the numbers were grim. She claimed a staggering 50 percent of cases reviewed had yielded some form of fraud, adding that the only way Walz could have been ignorant of it is for two reasons, neither of which is flattering.
"You told me to look into Minnesota and their fraud on visas and their programs, 50% of them are fraudulent," Noem stated.

Democrats' Use of the Word 'Affordability'
Is a Con Job 3 replies
President Donald Trump sat down with his cabinet, and addressed the progress his administration has made on inflation and combatting the affordability crisis. But to hear one outlet tell it, the president thinks affordability is "a scam" and that he downplays consumer concerns about it.
The anti-Trump agenda narratives and stealth editing by the legacy media know no bounds. Here is that portion of Trump's opening remarks. In them, Trump made it clear that it is the way Democrats use the word, "affordability," that renders it meaningless. He did not say this about the issue of affordability in and of itself,
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem proposed a “full travel ban” Monday on unnamed countries “flooding” the US with dangerous migrants, after a meeting with President Trump.
“I just met with the President,” Noem wrote on X. “I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that’s been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies. “Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom — not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS,” the DHS chief continued. “WE DON’T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.”

Two activist judges with a track record of sabotaging President Trump’s America First agenda have just ghosted a critical Senate hearing aimed at exposing judicial overreach.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg and U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman have both turned down invitations to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week at the explosive hearing titled “Impeachment: Holding Rogue Judges Accountable.
Their absence should come as no surprise to anyone paying attention. These are not neutral judges, they are political operatives wielding federal robes as weapons against the will of the American people.
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News that sanctuary New York City is harboring 7,169 known criminal illegal aliens, purposefully shielding them from immigration officials. McLaughlin revealed the cost to a city’s safety and security with sanctuary policies that hide vicious criminals from deportation while leaving citizens in danger.
“We’re seeing that these criminal illegal aliens are exiting the jails and going back onto New York or Chicago or these other sanctuary streets to re-perpetuate their crimes,” McLaughlin told Fox News. “Today in New York City’s jails are 7,169 criminal illegal aliens. We’re talking about hundreds of murderers, hundreds of sexual predators, drug traffickers, the worst of the worst.”
All of us following closely the peace processes in Ukraine, in the middle East and beyond, have had our eyes on Steve Witkoff for quite a while.
The real-estate mogul has been central to the Israel-Hamas agreement, and has also spearheaded the multiple attempts from the Donald J. Trump team to bring peace to Europe, and stop the bloodiest war since WW2.
A measure of how efficient Witkoff is can be gauged by the relentless attacks he suffers from the Globalist MSM: he is called inexperienced, inefficient and smeared as ‘pro-Putin’, a mere puppet in the hands of the ‘enemy of the west’.

Venezuela in order to save himself and
his family: report 8 replies
President Trump gave Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro a chance to escape the country with his life — but he had to do it immediately, according to a bombshell report.
During a call between Trump and Maduro last week, the South American dictator demanded that he be allowed to maintain control of the military and wanted global amnesty for all crimes, according to the Miami Herald, citing sources.
Trump’s response was reportedly blunt, and the talks quickly broke down. Maduro, his wife and son would be allowed to leave Venezuela safely, but they must do it immediately.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized Sunday that any peace deal to end the war in Ukraine must ensure that they will “never have another war again” — as top negotiators from Washington and Kyiv met in Miami.
Rubio called the meeting in Miami “quite productive,” but stressed that they “still have work to do” to get a deal across the finish line to end the bloody war in Ukraine.
“Today was again a very productive and useful session where I think additional progress was made,” Rubio told reporters after their deliberations. “There’s another party involved here that will have to be a part of the equation.
More than 10 US warships, including the country’s largest carrier, the USS Gerald F. Ford, are bearing down on the Caribbean amid escalating tensions between President Trump and Venezuela.
A Marine Expeditionary Unit capable of an amphibious land invasion has also been deployed as part of efforts to stem the flow of drugs into the US from the socialist country.
“The military’s job is to defend the homeland,” Secretary of the Navy John Phelan told Fox News on Saturday night. “That’s exactly what we’re doing, and we’re using our best assets to defend the homeland. Drugs kill more Americans than we’ve ever lost in wars,” he said.
The fallout from the 2020 COVID-19 debacle is still raining down. In the latest episode, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now found evidence linking the coronavirus vaccines to as many as 10 child deaths, and the federal agency is responding by ramping up new vaccine approval regulations.
At least part of this was done at the urging of the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. We should note that at least part of the new approach is not just on how vaccines are delivered, but how they are developed.

Billboards are popping up outside Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune urging soldiers to disobey orders. “Marines: Not what you signed up for?” asks one. “Did You Go Airborne Just To Pull Security for ICE?” asks another one. The website urges soldiers to use encryption and offers ‘counselling’ on ‘disobeying immoral orders’. The organizations offering ‘counselling’ to soldiers include the National Lawyers Guild: a Communist organization which also defends Antifa.
The billboards are promoting a system that, in its own words, is “built to connect active duty, national guard, and reserve members of the military with key resources on responding to unlawful orders”. What that means is
Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the senior senator from New York and current Senate minority leader who certainly knows a thing or two about dangerous rhetoric and political threats, released a statement Monday afternoon alleging that "multiple bomb threats" has been made to three of his New York offices.
According to Schumer, law enforcement officials informed him that his offices in Rochester, Binghamton, and Long Island had been targeted with bomb threats from an email account with, conveniently enough, references to MAGA and the "rigged" 2020 presidential election.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley's son Nalin Haley on Monday accused Republicans of failing to acknowledge disillusioned Gen Z voters' struggles with unemployment and affordability. "The first step our leaders need to do is admit that we have a problem. And right now I haven't heard any Republican leaders talk about the issues that young people are facing," Haley told "Fox & Friends." "Congress has been nothing more than a glorified nursing home. They either don't know the problems that we're facing or they're ignoring them. And to be honest, I don't know which one's worse."

Rosie O’Donnell says her daughter is holding President Donald Trump personally responsible for their relocation to Ireland and for what she sees as his broader damage to the country. "My daughter is now saying, ‘Damn him. Damn Trump,’" O’Donnell said during an appearance on "The Jim Acosta Show." She recalled her daughter pounding on a table in anger and stating, "He made us move for our own safety … and now he’s destroying the country." O’Donnell acknowledged the challenge of shielding her child from political upheaval while still confronting the realities of their situation. "She lives here. She hears what
The mass shooting in California that killed four people, including three kids, erupted just as a toddler was cutting cake at her 2nd birthday party, according to her mom — who said the shooters “deserve to go to hell.”
The birthday girl’s mother, Patrice Williams, said partygoers dropped to the floor as soon as the gunshots rang out inside the packed banquet hall in Stockton on Saturday.
“I actually thought it was my balloons popping. It was gunshots,” Williams said.
“It was just unexpected. I don’t know what happened, and I’m just so shocked and lost.”
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, plans to introduce legislation on Monday that would require any U.S. citizen who has dual citizenship to between the two countries, Fox News Digital has learned. It would also require that if a U.S. citizen seeks a foreign citizenship in the future, that person would give up their U.S. citizenship. Moreno, who was born in Colombia but has since renounced his Colombian citizenship, said in a statement Fox News Digital, "One of the great honors of my life was when I became an American citizen at 18, the first opportunity I could do so."
Two weeks ago, the seditious six congressional members began framing an op against the Trump administration under the auspices of military “defying illegal orders.” In the past few days, the same “illegal order” narrative has been used against Secretary Pete Hegseth; these two structured and timed sequence events are not disconnected.
The leftists and deep state IC are running a color revolution operation inside the USA. The first step in all color revolutions is to undermine the legitimacy and authority of the elected national leader; this is exactly what the seditious six are doing.

The White House placed the decision to launch a second, follow-up Sept. 2 strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea at the feet of the commander overseeing the operation from Fort Bragg, N.C., Navy Adm. Frank M. “Mitch” Bradley.
Bradley — who was authorized by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to carry out the attack that killed two people who were hanging onto the burning vessel after an initial strike — at the time was head of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).In charge of the U.S. military’s most sensitive and dangerous missions, JSOC falls under U.S. Special Operations Command, which Bradley was promoted to lead in October.
Team Trump is finally going straight for the pressure point nobody in the political class ever wants to talk about… remittances. And if the plan works the way it’s designed, the gravy train that’s been draining American communities for decades is about to go belly up. Before we get into the details of what President Trump wants to do and why, we need to talk about what “remittances” actually are. Because most Americans don’t realize just how massive this system is or how much of our economy has been very quietly bleeding out thanks to it.
Remittances are simple: illegals come here, take jobs, use our schools, hospitals, roads, and services,
DENVER (KDVR) — There’s going to be a new bathhouse in the city. Picture the communal bathhouses that date back centuries, but modern with an urban garden with saunas, mineral pools and even a geothermal well to heat the tubs. That’s the plan for the area around Osage Street and Colfax Avenue. It’s known as Coba Bathhouse and was created with the idea of bringing people back together. Colorado locals Memphis Orion, the CEO, Jon Medina, the CCO and Adam Lerner, the chief strategic officer are shaping the bathhouse to do just that.
