President Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi in a dramatic White House showdown, with one key reason being his belief that she tipped off Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) about the FBI’s efforts to prepare and potentially release a cache of investigative documents.
Background on the Swalwell Matter
The documents relate to Swalwell’s past interactions (around 2012–2015) with Christine Fang (also known as “Fang Fang”), a suspected Chinese intelligence operative who cultivated relationships with several U.S. politicians, including Swalwell when he was a local official and then a congressional candidate.
Fang reportedly helped with fundraising and placed interns; she had romantic/sexual relationships with at least two other Midwest mayors.
The FBI briefed Swalwell on concerns about her in 2015; he says he immediately cut off contact.
Swalwell was never charged with any wrongdoing, and a House Ethics Committee review closed without action.
FBI Director Kash Patel recently directed agents to review, redact, and prepare these old files for possible release or sharing with senior officials, which Swalwell’s lawyers called a politically motivated smear (especially as he runs for California governor). They sent a cease-and-desist letter threatening legal action.
The Daily Mail source claimed Bondi was “intervening in those matters” due to a personal friendship with Swalwell, displeasing the White House. Trump reportedly viewed this as disloyalty.
This was not the only reason cited.
Reports across outlets (Daily Mail, AP, NYT, Washington Post, ABC, CNN) indicate broader frustration with Bondi, including:
Mishandling of Jeffrey Epstein files — Backlash from MAGA supporters over perceived delays, incomplete releases, or “cover-up” vibes, plus contentious congressional hearings where she clashed with Democrats.
General dissatisfaction that the DOJ under her wasn’t aggressively enough targeting Trump’s political opponents or delivering on other priorities.
Internal tensions leading to her reportedly begging Trump not to fire her in a heated meeting.
Trump has discussed replacements like EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin or Deputy AG Todd Blanche (now acting AG).
Bondi had already fired numerous officials tied to prior investigations (e.g., Jack Smith team, Jan. 6 prosecutors).
The Swalwell angle adds a layer of personal/political betrayal in Trump’s eyes, given his long-running feud with Swalwell (who impeached him and is a frequent critic).

I just received a call, on Palm Sunday no less! The FBI has launched a fresh review of documents on Eric Swalwell’s ties to a suspected Chinese spy. My partners are supplying archived GPS data. Tick tock!

🚨 NOBODY KNOWS HOW FUCKED NATO ACTUALLY IS RIGHT NOW.
In the last 72 hours, watch who walked away:
🇫🇷 France: Blocked US military overflight for weapons to Israel — FIRST TIME since war began Feb 28. Israel cut ALL defense procurement from France.
🇮🇹 Italy: Denied Sigonella air base landing to US bombers. Defense Minister said relations are "solid and loyal." DAYS after blocking US planes.
🇪🇸 Spain: Closed ENTIRE airspace to US operations. Blocked Naval Station Rota AND Morón Air Base. PM Sánchez called it "not NATO collective defense."
🇵🇱 Poland: Refused to redeploy Patriot batteries. US burned through 1,200+ interceptors in 16 days. Poland said no.
🇨🇭 Switzerland: Denied 2 US reconnaissance flights. Suspended $120,000,000 in weapons exports under "neutrality laws."
🇬🇧 UK: PM said "this is not our war." Trump told them to "build up some delayed courage."
🇩🇪 Germany: President Steinmeier called war "possibly illegal." WHILE hosting Ramstein — largest US base outside America.
That is: France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Switzerland, UK, and Germany.
All in ONE week.
When this many allies abandon you at once, it's not a disagreement.
It's a collapse.

This isn’t some diplomatic tiff...
This is the final, irrefutable proof that NATO is not an alliance...it is a fucking noose around America’s neck, and Europe is tightening it while we bleed treasure and prestige for their worthless asses.
France just blocked our overflights for resupply to Israel...Italy slammed the gates on Sigonella...Spain sealed its airspace and bases like some medieval fortress against the very ally that keeps the lights on in Madrid...Poland...the same Poland we’ve poured billions into...refuses to redeploy Patriots because “eastern flank priorities” suddenly don’t include the nation that saved their worthless hide twice in the last century...Germany, the UK, even neutral Switzerland...every last one of them has told the United States, mid-war against Iran, to go fuck itself.
This isn’t hesitation...This is calculated betrayal rooted in the oldest European pathology:
let the Americans die for it, then lecture us about restraint...Psychologically, they’re still the same decadent, risk-averse elites who appeased Hitler until the bill came due in blood...except now they’ve upgraded to 21st-century virtue-signaling while hiding behind Article 5 like it’s a force field they never intend to power from their side.
Strategically...NATO was designed for a bipolar world that no longer exists...It was a tripwire against Soviet armor.
Today it is a bureaucratic cage that prevents the United States from exercising decisive unilateral power in a multipolar arena where China, Russia, and Iran are actively testing the post-American order.
Every base, every overflight, every logistics node we need for rapid power projection is now subject to the veto of spineless parliaments that haven’t won a real war since we dragged their corpses across the finish line in 1945.
We pay 70%+ of the actual combat capability.
They pay in press releases and sanctimony.
When it’s Article 5 for them, we’re expected to nuke Moscow on a hair trigger...When it’s our turn...a direct kinetic war involving our treaty ally Israel against the world’s leading state sponsor of terror...they suddenly discover “sovereignty,” “de-escalation,” and every other cowardly euphemism for “not our problem.”
Enough.
NATO is not broken...It is functioning exactly as the Europeans always intended:
an American security subsidy that costs them nothing and constrains us in every theater that matters..
The moment we need freedom of action against peer threats, they withhold it...because deep down they know their militaries are hollowed-out parade forces and their populations would rather burn their own cities than send their sons to fight.
We do not need their permission to defend American interests.
We do not need their bases when we can operate from sovereign American territory, forward-deployed naval power, and the few real partners who still have spines.
Leaving NATO is not isolationism...it is the reclamation of strategic sovereignty in a world that respects only raw power and credible will.
The alliance of the unwilling has revealed itself.
Time to cut the rope, reload the arsenal, and remind the world what an unbound United States actually looks like when it stops carrying dead weight.
Exit NATO... Now.
Or keep pretending these backstabbing freeloaders are “allies” while they sell us out in real time.
The choice is that fucking clear.

The House just voted to KEEP FUNDING NED, an NGO called "National Endowment for Democracy," defeating an amendment pushed by Elon Musk, Mike Benz, Rep. Eli Crane and others
81 REPUBLICANS joined Democrats. Final vote: 127-291.
Trump tried to defund NED, but was stopped
Eli Crane describes NED as a "contributor to global censorship campaigns and domestic propaganda"
Unreal. Two good measures were defeated in the House today.
Thoughts......??👀
Would be a shame if this went Viral on 𝕏 !!👌

FIVE YEARS OF GROCERY RECEIPTS JUST EXPOSED THE MOST PROTECTED LIE IN ECONOMICS.
Since 2019, the government says cumulative inflation is about 25%.
Here is what actually happened to the things you buy every single week:
Eggs: +79%
Ground beef: +77%
Coffee: +68%
Car insurance: +55%
Electricity: +43%
Bacon: +26%
Bread: +24%
Five out of seven of those are running 2x to 3x faster than the official number. And the only two that tracked near CPI? Bacon and bread. The lowest-cost, lowest-margin items in the basket.
The things that actually drain a household budget, the protein, the energy, the insurance you are legally required to carry, those are the ones the official number keeps understating.
The CPI was retooled in the 1990s to reduce reported inflation. They added substitution adjustments. They changed how they weight housing. They smoothed out the things that spike. This is documented BLS methodology, not conspiracy.
Food overall is up 30% since end of 2019. Car insurance premiums up 54% since 2020. Electricity just hit all-time record prices. But the official line is 2.4% annual inflation and the Fed debates rate cuts.
Your grocery receipt is the only honest inflation report left.

Senator Howard wrote the 14th Amendment on birthright citizenship in 1866.
And here, he defines it.
“This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States.”
Bad Kitty Unleashed 🦁 💪🏻@pepesgrandma
🔥🔥Huge! The congressman who submitted the 14th amendment, which concerns birthright citizenship, states that it was never intended to include foreigners. These discussions happened May 30, 1866. The PRESIDENT pro tempore: “The question is on the amendments proposed by the Senator from Michigan, [Mr. Howard.]” Mr. HOWARD: “The first amendment is to section one, declaring that "all persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside." I do not propose to say anything on that subject except that the question of citizenship has been so fully discussed in this body as not to need any further elucidation, in my opinion. This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. ➡️ This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country.” The link to the Library of Congress archive will follow. Enjoy @realDonaldTrump

What in the goddamn name of the Republic are we witnessing on the highest court in the land?
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, that walking monument to ideological capture and judicial malpractice, just dropped a hypothetical so brain-meltingly idiotic during today's oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara that it doesn't just expose her as unfit...it eviscerates the pretense that this Court still operates on reason rather than raw progressive fever-dreams.
Jackson, in her relentless quest to stretch the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause into an open-border welcome mat, conjures this gem:
She's a U.S. tourist in Japan. She steals someone's wallet. Japanese cops arrest her, prosecute her. Ergo, allegiance. Physical presence equals "owing allegiance in that sense," she intones, as if reading from a freshman poli-sci hallucination.
And presto...temporary visitors, undocumented invaders, even Chinese spies waltzing through our airports? They, too, get the magic "allegiance" badge. Thus, their anchor babies are full citizens by birth.
Genius, right?
The kind of genius that makes you wonder if the Senate confirmation hearings were a séance for the ghost of Earl Warren on bath salts.
Jackson's not just wrong...she's weaponizing ignorance against the Framers' explicit design.
The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868 to secure citizenship for freed slaves after the bloodbath of the Civil War, is crystal:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof."
That "and" is no throwaway; it's the gatekeeper. "Subject to the jurisdiction" never meant mere territorial presence or subjection to criminal statutes.
It meant complete political jurisdiction...full allegiance to the United States, owing it no divided loyalty, not transient subjection to its police power.
This is black-letter originalism, straight from the Senate debates. Senator Lyman Trumbull, who drafted the clause, hammered it:
Jurisdiction requires being "not subject to any foreign power"...no diplomatic immunity, no tribal sovereignty, no invading army, and damn sure no illegal entry or tourist visa that screams "I belong elsewhere."
The Supreme Court ratified this in Elk v. Wilkins (1884), denying citizenship to a Native American born on U.S. soil but still tied to tribal allegiance.
Even United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898)...the liberal holy grail...limited itself to the child of legal, domiciled Chinese immigrants, not transients or lawbreakers.
Jackson's wallet-theft fever-dream conflates territorial jurisdiction (you can be prosecuted) with political jurisdiction (you owe undiluted allegiance).
It's the legal equivalent of mistaking a parking ticket for a loyalty oath. A spy in Langley doesn't "owe allegiance" to America because he pays for his coffee in dollars; he owes it to Beijing, full stop.
This isn't a slip. It's textbook cognitive dissonance on steroids, the activist judge's classic pathology.
Jackson, elevated through the DEI pipeline and Biden's identity-politics sacrament, isn't reasoning from the Constitution...she's reverse-engineering it to fit a worldview where borders are bigotry and citizenship is a human right for anyone who can fog a mirror on American soil.
It's the same psychological trap that infected the Warren Court:
moral vanity masquerading as jurisprudence, where empathy for the "marginalized...read: illegal entrants gaming the system...trumps textual fidelity.
She projects her own transient "allegiance" to progressive orthodoxy onto the law, stealing the wallet of original meaning and calling it justice.
Profoundly unserious. Lethally dangerous.
This isn't harmless hypotheticals over coffee.
If Jackson's logic holds, a cartel mule dropping a kid in El Paso gets to manufacture a citizen-anchor while thumbing his nose at our laws.
The Framers, who fought a revolution against divided allegiances, would have tarred and feathered this reasoning.

Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh
🚨 JUST IN: SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Jackson argues for illegal aliens having birthright citizenship by saying if she steals somebody's wallet in Japan, she has "allegiance" to that country She has to freaking go. This is absurd. Actually. "I was thinking, you know, I'm a U.S. citizen, am visiting Japan. And what it means is that, you know, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance, meaning can they control you as a matter of law?" "So there's this relationship based on—even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just on vacation in Japan, I'm still locally owing allegiance in that sense. Is that the right way to think about it?" "And if so, doesn't that explain why both temporary residents and undocumented people would have that kind of, quote-unquote, allegiance, just by virtue of being in the United States?" I guess it is April Fools 🤡🤡🤡

Brian Allen@allenanalysis
Thomas Massie is sounding the alarm. Congress is about to pass a liability shield for Bayer — a foreign corporation — that would strip Americans of the right to sue when glyphosate gives them cancer. Massie: “This is not to grant farmers immunity. This is to grant corporations immunity. If you contract non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma from this chemical — you won’t be able to sue.” Bayer has already paid billions settling cancer lawsuits. This bill ends future lawsuits permanently. RFK Jr. built his brand on MAHA. Trump is urging Republicans to pass it anyway.

I've been telling people for years to stop calling them republicans like it’s some magic force field repelling evil. They are ALL the uniparty.
Democrats and Republicans are just different wings of the same rotting, rancid bird. This takeover of America has been in the making for over 100 years. Today, not only has the enemy crossed the wire, but they have taken over command.
Both hen houses are full to the brim with foxes.
Inaction can be just as devastating as a full-on assault.
It isn’t really Republicans versus Democrats; it’s our elected representatives, the governments (including foreign) they serve, and their own selfish desires, against all of us.
Even if we had ten different parties, the globalists would simply infiltrate each one and use their very existence against 'we the people'.
That’s right, they do not serve the people, they serve the government, i.e., the shadow government*, deep state, matrix, leviathan.
*The Shadow Government (The Unconstitutional Power of Government Secrecy) i.e., CIA, CFR, MSM, FISA, NSA, Silicon Valley, JSOC, DNI (17 Agencies), 5 Eyes, GCHQ MI6, DHS, DOS, NRO, NCTC, NGA, DOD, FBI and the Deep State (The System Behind the Government, unelected bureaucrats with zero accountability) i.e., Activist Judges, the Federal Reserve (a private company NOT the government!), the Treasury, Wall Street, Foreign Lobbyists, Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) Lobbyists, the actual Military-Industrial Complex (MIC)/Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex (MICC) itself, Defense Contractors, Intelligence Contractors, World Bank, IMF.
Wake Up! 🇺🇸
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna@RepLuna
At this rate, it’s not even about being a Democrat or Republican anymore. It’s literally the American people versus a uniparty establishment that is corrupt to the core. It’s time for voters to wake up when they go to vote on Election Day. Stop sending the same garbage to the Senate.

I called it years ago. Summit Carbon Solutions is not a benign environmental project — it’s a Trojan horse for land control and foreign influence, lubricated through false climate narratives and ESG finance.
Noem’s administration, while Governor of South Dakota, permitted its advance despite local opposition.
CCP-tied capital and ESG intermediaries have indirect exposure and influence within their ownership structure.
Its operations threaten the independence and property rights of Midwestern landowners. The environmental justification is a cover for global financial leverage.
Now we know how the CCP managed to get Governor Kristi Noem to allow them to take advantage of 80% of landowners.
What Needs Investigation
If South Dakotans (and Americans broadly) want to uncover the paper trail:
➡ Map the LLC layers connected to Summit Agricultural Group’s foreign projects, particularly in Brazil — look for ties to entities with Chinese joint ventures.
➡ Examine state filings, SEC forms, and project finance disclosures for lender information linked to bond issuances or green finance initiatives.
➡ Push for disclosure of all non-U.S. capital participation in Summit Carbon Solutions and its subcontractors.
And most importantly, refuse to accept the premise that “carbon capture” has anything to do with genuine environmental benefit. The infrastructure is invasive, irreversible, and tied to the same financial elite who designed the current agricultural dependency on corporate seed, fertilizer, and debt.
Tony Seruga@TonySeruga
My issue with Kristi Noem to serve as Trump’s Homeland security secretary, is her catering to the radicals climate alarmists selling her constituents out, all due to her donor relationship with Summit Carbon Solutions, who thus far, has conned nover 80% of South Dakota landowners with their bullsh*t! Carbon capture pipeline scheme is the new Enron! Research Summit Carbon Solutions. Additionally, their connection to the CCP. ‘Summit Carbon Solutions Says China Not Bankrolling CO2 Pipeline’—oh but they ARE! Using sophisticated NGOs and money laundering.
