DNI Gabbard Pushes Back on Whistleblower Claims
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard forcefully denied claims that she concealed a classified whistleblower complaint, accusing Sen. Mark Warner and "his friends in the Propaganda Media" of spreading what she called a "blatant lie." "Senator Mark Warner and his friends
in the Propaganda Media have repeatedly lied to the American people that
I or the ODNI 'hid' a whistleblower complaint in a safe for eight
months," Gabbard wrote in a social media post.
"This is a blatant lie," she wrote. Gabbard insisted she was never in possession of the complaint. "I am not now, nor have I ever been, in possession or control of the Whistleblower's complaint, so I obviously could not have 'hidden' it in a safe," she wrote, adding that "Biden-era IC Inspector General Tamara Johnson was in possession of and responsible for securing the complaint for months." Gabbard said she only reviewed the complaint recently. "The first time I saw the whistleblower complaint was 2 weeks ago when I had to review it to provide guidance on how it should be securely shared with Congress," she wrote. The controversy follows a report earlier this week by The Wall Street Journal describing a top secret complaint from an anonymous government insider alleging Gabbard withheld classified information for political reasons and failed to promptly transmit the complaint to Congress. Gabbard pushed back on the notion that the complaint was improperly stored, arguing it contained highly classified intelligence and required secure handling. "As Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Warner knows very well that whistleblower complaints that contain highly classified and compartmented intelligence, even if they contain baseless allegations like this one, must be secured in a safe," she wrote. She said the complaint remained secured even after it was shared with senior congressional leaders. "After IC Inspector General Fox hand-delivered the complaint to the Gang of 8, the complaint was returned to a safe where it remains, consistent with any information of such sensitivity," she said. Gabbard also directly attacked Warner's credibility. "Either Senator Warner knows these facts and is intentionally lying to the American people, or he doesn't have a clue how these things work and is therefore not qualified to be in the U.S. Senate, and certainly not the Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee," she wrote. In a detailed timeline, Gabbard said she first learned in June 2025 that a whistleblower had filed a complaint against her. She said that after review, "neither Biden-era IC Inspector General Tamara Johnson nor current IC Inspector General Chris Fox found the complaint to be credible." She argued the complaint was stored in a safe because "the complainant chose to include highly sensitive information within the complaint itself," rather than referencing the intelligence at a lower classification level. Gabbard also disputed claims that she violated the legal timeline for transmitting the complaint. "When a complaint is not found to be credible, there is no timeline under the law for the provision of security guidance," she wrote, adding that the "21 day" requirement applies only when a complaint is deemed "both urgent AND apparently credible." "That was NOT the case here," she said. Gabbard said she was notified by Inspector General Chris Fox on Dec. 4, 2025, that security guidance was needed and claimed she acted immediately. "I took immediate action to provide the security guidance," she wrote, saying the inspector general then shared the complaint with Congress last week. She concluded by accusing Warner of using the matter for political purposes, writing, "Senator Warner's decision to spread lies and baseless accusations over the months for political gain, undermines our national security and is a disservice to the American people and the Intelligence Community."

Watch: MN Anti-ICE Crew Has a Bad Day With Police, and They're Not Very Happy With Tim Walz
 |
Things are not going well for the anti-ICE crew. I've been looking to see if there's been a change in the response of the local police in Minnesota since Border Czar Tom Homan indicated they were finally getting cooperation from the local authorities. It sure looks like there's been a change to me. We previously
wrote that the police had pulled down the checkpoint they set up in
Minneapolis.The activists had said they were going to try to put it up
again. But the Minneapolis Police Department wasn't having it. This
time, they were more forceful in the process, as you can see from this video on X.
They were pulling the chairs out from under the activists as they tried
to sit in them in the middle of the intersection, as the agitators
screamed and called them "KKK." READ MORE: Anti-ICE Crew Is Not Happy at All About What Just Happened to Their 'Checkpoint' in Minneapolis Things also didn't go well at the Whipple federal building. The mob members were throwing dildos at law enforcement and their vehicles. Yes, that's what I said. Someone must have spent a lot of money on all that. Warning: video contains profanity and sexual content
But then they ended up making a mistake and assailing the car of another anti-ICE person. As he protested he was with them, the rioters continued to throw dildos at the car and attach them to the vehicle, as you can in this video on X. Whoops. Yet another mistake for this gang. That was pretty embarrassing. Of course, they shouldn't be assailing anyone at all, but it's hard not to find the humor in them goofing up, yet again. The action at the Whipple federal building was even more of a change. The State Patrol declared an unlawful assembly, swooped in, and then made a ton of arrests, big time. These are two very satisfying videos.
They screamed for help, but they were all under arrest, so no help was coming.
The anti-ICE crew protested Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Friday night at the governor's mansion, expressing how unhappy they were over his cooperation with President Donald Trump and Border Czar Homan.
This is truly funny. They assail him about the ability to enforce the law. Then they demand legalization for all, when that's not the law. The activist holding the megaphone also demands "no political compromises" with Operation Metro Surge:
"We hope this is the moment you finally grow a pair," the activist rants at Walz. You're not getting your way. Walz helped incite them, and now they're turning on him. |
Wow: Israeli Bobsled Team Reports Robbery of 'Thousands of Dollars,' Passports at 2026 Winter Olympics
 |
Imagine just how much excitement there is surrounding the Israeli Winter Olympics team at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games, especially since they are making their bow in one sport they have never competed in at the Olympic Games, according to an AP report this week: TEL AVIV (AP) — Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme. Get on up, Israel, it’s bobsled time!
They even coined a fun nickname for the team, Shul Runnings, paying tribute to "Cool Runnings" about the unlikely Jamaican bobsled team:
See Related: About Those 'Boos' of Vance at Olympics - and Who Should Have Earned Some Raspberries Instead VP Vance Speaking to U.S. Team in Milan, Reminds Them of What's Truly Important at Winter Olympics Watch:
Once the team arrived early in Italy for the opening ceremony, well ahead of their debut competition next week, their plan was to wedge in some last-minute training. That was when things took an ominous turn. Writing Saturday on his X account, about the bobsledding team's apartment getting broken into and ransacked, including "thousands of dollars of stuff," including shoes and equipment, along with their passports, stolen. Edelman explained: He wrote that "[w]hile training for the Olympics the @israelbobsled apartment was broken into during their training, thousands of dollars of stuff and passports were stolen," adding in exasperation, "What a season..." Then in another post, Edelman assured fans that they are undeterred by this disturbing setback, and their first instinct was not to roll up in a ball and have a pity party, but to "return to training" and forging ahead with competing. To him, it's perfectly "exemplifies the Israeli Spirit":
Here's more on the incident, which neither Edelman nor his teammates witnessed take place:
Now, when can people tune in to cheer them on? Edelman’s team is set to compete in the 2m Bobsled competition beginning on Feb. 16-17, and then the "premier event," as he described the 4m, on the 21st-22nd, the athlete also shared on X.

This is how things should be. Despite the heinous historical note of the 1972 Israeli team being taken hostage it's not even the tiniest of impediments in these men's minds. At this time, we don't know if the break-in and theft was related to them being from Israel, though it comes to mind with rampant antisemitism in Europe. Regardless, we're seeing in real time how champions act, whether they win a medal or not. |
Horror Show in Maryland: Police Neglect of a Homeless Camp Might Lead to Nearby Residents Being Evicted
 |
We have no words:
The cut off text is one word: complex. As in ' residents of the complex.' If you don’t want to click on the links, allow us to summarize. There is a condominium complex called Marylander Condominiums, in Prince George’s County, Maryland, east of Washington, D.C. It has 200 units. And
on the same grounds is an area nicknamed ‘the Mountains’ which is a
homeless encampment, and open-air drug market. And the residents of the
Mountains have been destroying the Marylander condos since 2023. It is
hard to summarize all the myriad ways that these criminals have made
life hell for these residents, but quoting one paragraph from the story
gives you some sense of how bad it is:
This would be while the D.C. area is experiencing unusually cold weather. And really, calling it a homeless encampment is underselling it:
This and other problems created by the Mountains that we are not listing has basically made the place unlivable. And what are the police doing? Well…
All of this is in the name of being compassionate to the people living in the Mountains:
You got that? They wouldn’t clear out the homeless camps… instead they are trying to clear out the homeowners. They destroyed the value of their property with neglect and now they are going to throw them out on the street. But if a huge part of the problem is MS-13, a gang well known with being filled with illegal immigrants, then we recommend that the Trump administration stage a raid. — Libertarianesque Person (@libertarianesqu) February 5, 2026
In this author’s experience, this is extreme, but not entirely surprising for how Maryland runs things.
We lived in that county briefly when we were in law school. It certainly has a crime problem but the regular people were genuinely nice.
It would have been seen as too unrealistic. If Franz Kafka had an editor, he would have told him to tone it down.
We were wondering if that is what is really happening. It’s just hard to believe that this is simply neglect and stupidity.
Maryland has one of the strongest gun control regimes in this country—although the criminals don’t seem to be obeying those laws, go figure.
The cut off text:
Not yet, as far as we know. But if this keeps going long enough, we suspect that they will take the law into their hands. We’re not endorsing it, but we are predicting it will happen.

After laying off over 300 employees, Washington Post CEO and publisher Will Lewis announced that he would be stepping down from the outlet’s top spot. 🚨BREAKING:
CEO and Publisher of The Washington Post Will Lewis has stepped down
after the company announced they would lay off one-third of their
employees this week. pic.twitter.com/sEOAA5gu8y — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) February 7, 2026 "After two years of transformation at The Washington Post, now is the right time for me to step aside," Lewis said in an email to the few remaining staff members on Saturday. "I want to thank Jeff Bezos for his support and leadership throughout my tenure as CEO and Publisher. The institution could not have a better owner." "During my tenure, difficult decisions have been taken in order to ensure the sustainable future of The Post so it can for many years ahead publish high-quality nonpartisan news to millions of customers each day,” Lewis continued. Some at the Post, including their union, slammed Lewis after he turned tail on the organization he just gutted.
The Post was not without leadership for long. Just moments after news broke of Lewis’ departure, the outlet announced that WaPo CFO and ex-Tumblr CEO Jeff D’Onofrio would serve as the acting CEO and publisher. |
U.S. and Iran representatives meet for in-person talks about Tehran’s nuclear program
 |
| (L-R) Jared Kushner, Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and
Oman’s Minister of Foreign Affairs of Oman Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi
meet in Muscat, Oman, on Friday, February 6, 2026. United States and Iranian representatives met in Muscat, the capital of Oman, for negotiations regarding the future of Tehran’s nuclear program after a U.S.-mediated ceasefire ended a 12-day conflict last summer, marking the first face-to-face summit since the war. “Very serious talks mediating between Iran and the US in Muscat
today,” said Minister of Foreign Affairs of Oman Badr bin Hamad Al
Busaidi on X Friday. “It was useful to clarify both Iranian and American
thinking and identify areas for possible progress. We aim to reconvene
in due course, with the results to be considered carefully in Tehran and
Washington.” Oman acted as a host and a mediator.
Though the Trump administration has pushed for broader concessions, Iranian officials have made it clear they only wish to discuss the nuclear program.
He added that the discussions were “intensive” and “in a very good atmosphere. It was a good start,” he reported. The U.S. was represented by Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, Trump’s son-in-law and former advisor Jared Kushner and Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Admiral Brad Cooper. A stumbling block in the negotiations remains Iran’s nuclear enrichment policy, as it has continued to reject zero enrichment. However, it was revealed during the recent meeting that the country may consider a temporary, three-year pause, though it’s unclear if this will satisfy the trump administration, according to an anonymous source who spoke to the Washington Post. Tehran also argues that its nuclear enrichment is designed to enrich uranium for civilian purposes, not or the production of weapons. President Donald Trump’s administration began talks to secure a nuclear deal with Iran last year. Despite meeting in Oman and Italy, no measurable progress was made, and the conflict with Israel threw off the efforts. Trump pulled the U.S. out of the previous deal struck in 2015 during his first presidential term to limit Iran’s nuclear program. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a press conference on Thursday that the president’s goal was to leave Iran with “zero nuclear capability.” The 12-day war with Israel left Iran with a severely damaged nuclear program from U.S. airstrikes in June and suffering losses from Israel. With the addition of the massive protests across the country that began late in December, Iran entered into negotiations with the U.S. in a very vulnerable state. Despite its losses, however, its missile arsenal remains the most substantial in the region. The meeting took place against a backdrop of significant U.S. military buildup in the Middle East, including warships and aircraft near Iran, according to the Washington Post’s analysis of satellite imagery.

Restore Masculinity in Classrooms to Save Our Boys
 |
Dr. Corey DeAngelis told viewers on America Right Now what every patriotic parent already knows: boys are struggling because too many classrooms lack strong male role models, and that absence is not an abstract academic debate but a crisis with real consequences for American communities. DeAngelis, a leading school choice advocate and author who frequently appears on conservative media, argued forcefully that reclaiming our schools starts with restoring masculine leadership where it belongs—around the classroom, not just in lecture halls. This isn’t mere nostalgia; the data and reporting
make plain that men are disappearing from the profession that shapes
tomorrow’s citizens, and boys suffer when they have few positive men to
emulate during their formative years. Nations and experts alike have
warned about the feminization of early education and the behavioral and
academic fallout when boys lack consistent, respectable male influence
in school settings. Conservatives must stop pretending this is a neutral
policy dispute and face the cultural rot that created the shortage of
male teachers. Rather than owning the problem, the left’s institutions—from powerful unions to a one-size-fits-all public school bureaucracy—have doubled down on policies that push parents out and lock classrooms into ideological monoculture. DeAngelis has spent years exposing how the education establishment sidelines parents and stifles alternatives like school choice, which would empower families to put their children where they’ll encounter real role models and real discipline. If conservatives want to win this fight, we stop begging for permission and start giving parents tools to choose schools that reflect time-tested values. Practical solutions are within reach: recruit men into teaching with targeted scholarships, higher pay for elementary instructors, and public campaigns that reclaim teaching as a noble, masculine calling rather than a cultural joke. We should also expand school choice so families can prioritize environments that emphasize character, respect, and masculine mentorship; this is not radical, it is common sense for a nation that wants its sons to grow into honorable men. Let’s stop apologizing for wanting boys to have men worth emulating and start building schools that reflect the values of hard work, faith, and responsibility. |
AI Mishap: White House Video Sparks Outrage and Double Standards
 |
On February 5–6, 2026, the White House’s Truth Social account shared a short, AI-tinged video that briefly depicted former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes before it was taken down amid outrage. The imagery was jarring and offensive, and even many who stand with the president found it unacceptable. The White
House initially called the clip an “internet meme” and later blamed an
unnamed staffer for an erroneous repost, while President Trump said he
hadn’t watched the whole thing and refused to apologize. Conservatives
should demand accountability for sloppy posting, but we should also be
wary of a narrative that rushes to destroy careers without clear facts
about who did what and when. What followed was the predictable bipartisan outrage that feeds the political media machine: prominent Republicans, including Senator Tim Scott, condemned the post in stark terms and called for its removal. That reaction was appropriate given the racist imagery, yet it’s worth noting how quickly the outrage engine revs up for conservatives while similar scandals on the left sometimes receive softer treatment. Context matters: the clip was attached to a longer, conspiratorial piece about the 2020 election and used pop-culture music and AI to punch up the parody — a late-night repost that fell apart when viewers saw the offensive ending. Americans can reject the racist trope without letting the moment be weaponized into a blanket smear against millions who supported the president. Patriots who love this country should be crystal clear — racism is wrong and the imagery was indefensible — but we must also call out hypocrisy in how incidents are handled. If a staffer made a grievous error, fire them; if leadership knew and approved it, demand firings and apologies. Yet we must oppose the double standard where conservatives are routinely presumed malicious and ostracized while liberal figures often get a pass. This is also a moment for conservative leaders to show steady moral leadership: condemn the imagery, insist on consequences for those responsible, and push for consistent standards across the political spectrum. Our movement should not shrink from calling out wrongdoing within our own ranks, but neither should it allow opportunistic media mobs to dictate every outcome. Hardworking
Americans want a politics that defends free speech, rejects racism, and
judges people by facts and actions rather than rumor and outrage. Stand
firm for fairness, demand the truth about what happened on February 5–6,
2026, and insist that both justice and common sense guide the response. |
