You tried to paint me as a pervert for exposing fraud, and as a result radical leftists started trying to dox me and send death threats, wanting to kill me. Now you are taking credit for “leading the charge” on the fraud. Are you serious? You are the fraud.
Governor Gavin Newsom@CAgovernor

California is again leading the charge against large-scale identity theft and hospice fraud. Today, we're taking decisive action against 14 providers who tried using stolen identities to bill Medi-Cal for nonexistent hospice services.

The funny thing about Trump- Epstein panicans is that Trump is the one who exposed Epstein.... 9 years ago. If it weren't for Trump they wouldn't even know this guy existed. Trump's also the one who arrested him... AND Ghislaine. He also released 3 million files on the guy with a built-in keyword search engine. Clinton didn't do this. Bush didnt do this. Obama didnt do this. Biden didnt do this. Only DJT. The same guy who banned him from his club 20 years ago, reported him to Palm Beach Police Department 19 years ago, worked with Epstein Victim's in their case against him 17 years ago, outed his island as a Cesspool on national TV 11 years ago, exposed him in extreme detail on 4/8chan 9-7 years ago, arrested him 7 years ago, arrested his madam 6 years ago and built a searchable database for him 1 year ago. No one did any of this. Not a single freaking person other than Trump. This is why I immediately peg you as a black-hat asset when you cry online about "Trump and Epstein."

NEW: Newsmax's Rob Finnerty left speechless after Rep. Tim Burchett said if people saw what he has seen in relation to aliens, "it would've set the Earth on fire." Burchett also let viewers know that he is not "su*cidal." The comment came while Burchett was responding to Matt Gaetz's recent suggestion that there was an alien-human breeding program. "We're in meetings and they give addresses and locations of... items."

Talking positive about the good things the Trump admin is doing being rebranded as "cheerleading" is possibly the most subversive single act to occur in our movement.

ALPHAWARRIOR@xAlphaWarriorx·
Day 2 Reposting this. Won’t stop. Who’s going to help me.
ALPHAWARRIOR@xAlphaWarriorx

I am starting to think the ones attacking President Trump are the REAL pedos... Why are they trying to stop the President who has accomplished all this? Maybe they are the ones hiding something.... Here’s a documented, bullet-point list of major things Trump personally signed, directed, or publicly ordered, plus major anti-trafficking / child-exploitation actions carried out under his administration. I’m keeping this to verifiable items, not internet lore. 1. Signed Executive Order 13773 on February 9, 2017, directing the federal government to prioritize dismantling transnational criminal organizations involved in human trafficking and smuggling. 2. Made anti-trafficking a stated administration priority early in office, including using the President’s Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons as a coordinating mechanism. 3. Signed the DHS Blue Campaign Authorization Act in February 2018, giving statutory backing to DHS’s anti-human-trafficking public-awareness campaign. 4. Signed FOSTA-SESTA on April 11, 2018, giving law enforcement and victims stronger tools to go after websites that knowingly facilitate sex trafficking, including allowing state criminal actions and civil suits, and increasing penalties for facilitators. 5. Under his administration, the government seized Backpage dot com in April 2018, which DOJ later described as a dominant online marketplace used to facilitate sex trafficking, including trafficking of minors. 6. Appointed nine human-trafficking survivors in March 2018 to the U.S. Advisory Council on Human Trafficking, bringing survivor input directly into federal policy. 7. His administration highlighted and supported a $25 million State Department grant to the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery in 2017. 8. Signed the Abolish Human Trafficking Act of 2017 on December 21, 2018, which he said was meant to bolster federal anti-trafficking efforts and strengthen survivor-support programs. 9. Signed the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2018 on January 8, 2019, reauthorizing and modifying the Trafficking Victims Protection Act framework. 10. Signed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2017 (S. 1312) in January 2019, which the White House said created new prevention, prosecution, and collaboration initiatives against traffickers. 11. Signed the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (S. 1862) in January 2019, which the White House said tightened criteria used to evaluate whether countries are meeting anti-trafficking standards. 12. Issued National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month proclamations, explicitly framing trafficking as a national moral and security issue and calling for action by law enforcement, schools, businesses, and civil society. 13. In that 2019 proclamation, Trump cited his administration’s anti-trafficking results, including DOJ convictions, FBI disruption of child-sex-trafficking enterprises, DHS case initiations, and HHS modernization of the National Human Trafficking Hotline. 14. Linked border security policy to anti-trafficking enforcement, arguing that border controls, detention, and enforcement were part of stopping trafficking networks targeting women and children. 15. Signed a 2020 executive order on “Combating Human Trafficking and Online Child Exploitation in the United States,” directing the executive branch to prioritize resources to vigorously prosecute offenders, assist victims, improve data, improve interagency coordination, and propose ways to better detect and stop real-time sharing of child sexual abuse material online. 16. That 2020 order specifically directed DOJ and DHS to improve coordination targeting traffickers and to propose legislative/executive actions to improve law enforcement’s ability to detect and stop online child sexual exploitation. 17. Under his first administration, DOJ said it held two national summits on combating human trafficking in 2018 and 2020 to coordinate law enforcement, business, and advocacy efforts. 18. Under his first administration, the government seized CityXGuide dot com in June 2020, which DOJ listed alongside Backpage as a major marketplace tied to sex trafficking. 19. DOJ reported that under Trump, human trafficking became a high enforcement priority, with federal prosecutors bringing: -FY 2018: 230 cases, 386 defendants charged, 526 convictions. -FY 2019: 220 cases, 343 defendants charged, 475 convictions. -FY 2020: 210 cases, 337 defendants charged, 309 convictions. DHS/ICE figures cited by the Trump White House showed: -FY 2017: 833 human-trafficking cases initiated, 1,602 arrests, 578 convictions, 518 victims identified. -FY 2018: 1,588 human-trafficking arrests, including 1,543 for sex trafficking. -FY 2020: ICE HSI initiated 947 trafficking-related cases, made 1,746 criminal arrests, and recorded 400 trafficking-related conviction counts; the FBI initiated 663 trafficking cases. HHS issued trafficking-related certification/eligibility letters allowing victims to access benefits and services: -FY 2019: 311 adult certifications and 892 child eligibility letters. -FY 2020: 508 adult certifications and 673 child eligibility letters. 20. The FY 2020 anti-trafficking report says the President’s Interagency Task Force collaborated with the White House to develop the first-ever National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking, a whole-of-government strategy. 21. In his second term, Trump signed Executive Order 14159 on January 20, 2025, ordering the creation of Homeland Security Task Forces in all states to dismantle human smuggling and trafficking networks, with particular focus on offenses involving children. 22. That same 2025 order also directed the Attorney General, HHS, and DHS to share information necessary to stop the trafficking and smuggling of alien children into the United States. 23. Also on January 20, 2025, Trump signed “Securing Our Borders,” ordering DOJ and DHS to prioritize investigation and prosecution of human smuggling, human trafficking, child trafficking, and sex trafficking offenses. 24. In January 2026, Trump signed the Trafficking Survivors Relief Act, creating a process for trafficking victims to seek vacatur of certain convictions and expungement of arrest records for crimes committed as a direct result of being trafficked. Epstein-specific actions 25. Trump’s administration publicly tied itself to an Epstein-transparency effort in 2025. On February 27, 2025, DOJ announced the first phase of declassified Epstein files, saying it was following through on Trump’s commitment to transparency. 26. Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405) on November 19, 2025, requiring DOJ to release Epstein-related records in its possession. 27. On January 30, 2026, DOJ said it had published over 3 million additional pages responsive to that law, including more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, bringing the total release to nearly 3.5 million pages. DOJ’s Epstein Library remained live and updated as of March 3, 2026, as the public-facing repository for releasable Epstein materials. Now ask yourself, why are they trying to takedown President Trump if they "claim" they are fighting for the children???

Donald Trump - January 2015: "We can't let Iran get a Nuclear Weapon.. If I run for President, and if I win , I will totally succeed in creating jobs, defeating ISIS and stopping the Islamic Terrorists, and you have to do that, Stopping nuclear weapons in Iran and elsewhere.." Looks like President Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises to me.

Well stated explanation of your stance @patel_patriot !
Jon Herold@patel_patriot

Allow me to try and explain my position better. I think it's broadly accepted amongst the "truth" community that Trump is constantly conducting psyops. So with that understanding, it would be retarded to agree with and cheerlead for everything Trump did and said. A good example is when Trump advocated for taking the vaccine. Many of his supporters chose not to, especially those who believe there are bigger things going on behind the scenes. When people discuss why Trump advocated for the poison, we understood there to be some 5GW at play. Trump did something many people didn't agree with. We didn't blindly listen to what he said. We don't blindly cheerlead him when he kept bringing it up. Instead we advocated our displeasure while still supporting him throughout. Was that virtue signaling? IMO the best way to not get sucked into all the psyops is to operate based on your first principles. I'm going to advocate for the things I believe in. Sometimes that’s in line with what Trump says and does, sometimes that’s not. My first principles are mine and I don’t expect anybody to share them with me. I also don't expect to always be correct. I can do that while understanding the bigger picture. One of the things I believe is that Americans should NOT be involved in foreign wars. That belief doesn’t change just because Trump is the one doing it. You said "none of us want foreign war." So why are so many cheerleading it? If Biden or Obama was the one doing these bombings what would the reaction be? I believe I understand much of the geopolitical complexity of the situation. I think I get the game theory behind the strikes. I know Trump has access to far more information than anybody else in the world. I obviously trust that he knows what he’s doing and is doing so with our best interest in mind. I also have no love lost for the evil people our military is taking out. Trump will always have my support and my trust. He has earned those from me 10x. But that shouldn't require me to cheerlead Americans fighting and dying in foreign wars. Those are not mutually exclusive. I’m going to navigate the infowar while advocating for things based on my first principles even when there are negative social incentives for doing so. And btw, much like Trump's continued support for the vaccines, this Iran situation is largely unpopular to the broader public outside of our social media bubble... Imagine a normie coming on to twitter trying to figure out what's going on and finding that many people in the "truth" community are shitting on people for not blindly cheerleading the Iran strikes. We shouldn't have to advocate for things just because we trust the plan or whatever.

The most spot-on and well-stated analysis I have seen. Please take a minute or so to read:
Apple Lamps@lamps_apple

"I’m asking you to hold the line. Not because the President is infallible... he’s not, nobody is... but because the logic is sound. You cannot build a fortress of peace on a foundation of unresolved threats. You have to clear the ground first. That’s what’s happening." The question you have to ask... the honest question, not the Tucker question, not the Marjorie question, the real question... is this... Could Donald Trump have achieved a permanent, lasting America First posture... the real doctrine, the thing we all voted for... without first clearing the board of the existential threats that previous administrations allowed to metastasize for decades? The answer is no. And everybody who is being honest with themselves knows it’s no Let me take you through it, because the details matter. They always matter with this President. He doesn’t do anything by accident. People think he’s impulsive... the media loves that narrative, “Trump is impulsive, Trump is chaotic”... but look at the timeline. Look at how this actually played out. Venezuela: The Western Hemisphere First Trump didn’t wake up one morning and decide to grab Maduro. This was months in the making. Years, actually, if you go back to his first term, when the Justice Department indicted Maduro on narco-terrorism charges in March 2020. Nobody did anything about it then. The indictment just sat there. Biden recognized the opposition candidate Edmundo González as the legitimate president after the stolen 2024 election, and then did absolutely nothing about it. Nothing. Just a statement. Trump came back and started squeezing. Designated Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization on Day One. Designated the Cartel of the Suns... which Maduro basically ran... as an FTO in July. Started a maritime blockade of sanctioned oil tankers in December 2025. And the whole time, by the way, he was offering Maduro off-ramps. Multiple off-ramps. Rubio was negotiating. There were back channels through Qatar. The Rodríguez siblings... Delcy and Jorge... were apparently trying to work out a deal where Maduro would go into exile. But Maduro wouldn’t go. He thought he could wait it out. He was wrong. January 2, 2026... the operation launched. Special forces went in under cover of night. Army Warrant Officer 5 Eric Slover flew the lead Chinook into Maduro’s military fortress. Eighty-three people died, including thirty-two Cuban soldiers who were stationed there... and by the way, what were Cuban soldiers doing in Venezuela? Think about that. Cuban soldiers protecting a Venezuelan dictator. That tells you everything about the network that had to be broken. Maduro is now in federal custody in New York. Delcy Rodríguez is the interim president, cooperating with our government. We’re marketing Venezuelan oil on global markets. The largest proven oil reserves on the planet... three hundred billion barrels, bigger than Saudi Arabia... are no longer being used to fund narco-terrorism and Cuban communism. They’re being used to benefit the American people and the Venezuelan people. Now. Was that regime change? Technically? Yes. But here’s the critical difference... and this is what separates what Trump did from what Bush did in Iraq, what Obama did in Libya, what the whole rotten establishment has done for twenty-five years. Trump did not invade Venezuela. He did not send a hundred and fifty thousand troops. He did not dissolve the Venezuelan state. He did not fire every government employee and disband the security forces like Paul Bremer did in Iraq, which was the single stupidest decision in the history of American foreign policy, by the way. Single stupidest decision. Created ISIS. Created the entire insurgency. Because they took a million armed, trained men, humiliated them, and set them loose with nothing to do but fight. Trump did the opposite. He took the head. Left the body. Made a deal with the body. That’s not nation-building. That’s not a forever war. That’s a surgical correction of a threat that had been allowed to fester for over two decades. Get in, remove the problem, arrange the pieces, get out. The Venezuelan state is still functioning. The military is still intact. The oil is flowing. And America is no longer dealing with a hostile narco-state in its own backyard. We’re not building schools in Caracas. We’re not training a Venezuelan national police force. We’re not spending a trillion dollars over ten years trying to turn Venezuela into Vermont. We’re leaving. That is the doctrine. But you can’t leave a problem you haven’t solved. Iran: The Nuclear Sword of Damocles Iran is the harder case, and I’ll be straight with you... it’s the one that bothers people the most, and I understand why. Because Iran looks like exactly what we said we wouldn’t do. It looks like Iraq 2003. It looks like the neocons got what they always wanted. John Bolton is happy. Bill Kristol is happy. When John Bolton and Bill Kristol are happy about something you did, you should be nervous. I get it. But Iran is not Iraq, and here is why. Iraq in 2003 was a contained threat. Saddam didn’t have weapons of mass destruction. The intelligence was either wrong or fabricated. The threat was manufactured to justify a war that certain people in Washington wanted for ideological reasons that had nothing to do with American security. The entire premise was a lie. Iran in 2025-2026 was an uncontained, accelerating, existential threat. This is not debatable. After Biden let the JCPOA collapse without replacing it with anything... because Biden couldn’t negotiate his way out of a parking garage... Iran was enriching uranium to near-weapons-grade levels. The IAEA confirmed it. Four hundred kilograms of uranium enriched to sixty percent. They were, by every credible estimate, within weeks of breakout capability. The regime was simultaneously funding Hamas... which carried out October 7, the worst massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust... funding Hezbollah, funding the Houthis who were attacking global shipping in the Red Sea, and funding proxy wars across the entire Middle East. Trump tried diplomacy first. And this is the part that everyone who’s screaming “betrayal” conveniently forgets. He wrote a letter to Khamenei in March 2025 offering negotiations. He sent Steve Witkoff to Oman for multiple rounds of talks. Five rounds of talks. Five. Khamenei wouldn’t take the deal. They were offered sanctions relief, normalization, the whole package... in exchange for dismantling the nuclear program. They said no. They kept enriching. So in June 2025, during the Twelve-Day War with Israel, Trump sent B-2 bombers... seven of them, flying eighteen hours straight from Missouri... and dropped bunker-buster bombs on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. The three main enrichment sites. Obliterated. Set the program back years. And then he said... “NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE.” And what did Iran do? They tried to rebuild. They kicked out the IAEA inspectors. They refused to let anyone verify what happened to their uranium stockpiles. They kept developing missiles. The regime... Khamenei specifically... made the calculation that he could outlast Trump, rebuild the program, and eventually get the bomb anyway. That calculation ended on February 28, 2026, when a precision strike killed Khamenei at his own residence during a meeting of senior officials. Gone. The defense minister, the IRGC commander, the secretary of the Security Council... all gone. Forty-eight senior leaders taken out, according to the President. And in the streets of Tehran... this is the part the media doesn’t want to show you... people were celebrating. Dancing. Cheering. Because the Iranian people have been hostages of this regime since 1979, and they know exactly what it is. The cost of war is horrific and anyone who pretends there’s a way to do this without innocent people dying is lying to you. This President didn’t lie about it. He said, in his own address, “The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties... that often happens in war.” He’s telling you the truth. The question isn’t whether people will die. People were already dying... under the regime, in the protests the regime crushed by killing over seven thousand people in January alone. The question is whether the outcome justifies the cost. And the outcome... the permanent elimination of the Iranian nuclear threat, the destruction of the world’s number one state sponsor of terror, the liberation of eighty-eight million people from a medieval theocracy... is worth it. It has to be. Because the alternative was a nuclear-armed Iran, and a nuclear-armed Iran means the end of everything we’re trying to build. Cuba: Gravity Does the Work Cuba is the proof that the doctrine works even when you don’t fire a shot. Nobody invaded Cuba. Nobody bombed Havana. Trump simply cut the lifeline. When Maduro fell, the Venezuelan oil that kept Cuba alive disappeared. When Trump signed the executive order on January 29 threatening tariffs on any country that sells oil to Cuba, Mexico... which supplied forty-four percent of Cuba’s oil... suspended shipments. Russia called the situation “truly critical” but hasn’t sent a tanker. China made sympathetic noises but hasn’t delivered fuel. And now Cuba is collapsing under its own weight. Eighty-nine percent of families in extreme poverty. Schools suspended. Hospitals losing power. Airlines canceling flights because there’s no jet fuel. The regime can’t even run garbage trucks. This is what sixty-seven years of communism looks like when nobody’s willing to subsidize it anymore. Trump’s approach? “Make a deal before it’s too late.” He’s talking to people inside the Cuban system... including, reportedly, Raúl Castro’s grandson. Rubio, who understands Cuba better than anyone in government, is leading the effort. The terms haven’t been made public, but the logic is obvious... open the economy, release political prisoners, hold elections, or watch the lights go out for good. No Marines. No occupation. Just leverage, applied from a position of absolute economic dominance, and the patience to let gravity do what gravity does. So here is where it all comes together. Here is the part where you have to step back and look at the board... the whole board, not just the square you’re standing on. Before January 2025, the Western Hemisphere contained a hostile narco-state with the world’s largest oil reserves, a communist holdout that served as a forward base for Russian and Chinese influence ninety miles from Florida, and a Middle Eastern theocracy with an active nuclear weapons program that was funding terror organizations across three continents. Those were not theoretical threats. They were active, operational, escalating threats that any future president... of either party... would have had to deal with eventually. The question was never whether to deal with them. The question was how. And the twenty-five-year answer from the foreign policy establishment... sanctions that didn’t work, diplomacy that got played, nation-building that wasted trillions, forever wars that killed thousands... had been tried and had failed catastrophically. Iraq proved it. Afghanistan proved it. Libya proved it. What Trump has done in sixty days... Maduro captured, Khamenei killed, Cuba strangled into negotiation... is not a betrayal of the America First doctrine. It is the precondition for the doctrine. It’s the thing that has to happen once so that it never has to happen again. Think of it this way. If you inherit a house with a flooded basement, a collapsing roof, and a gas leak, you don’t get to say “I’m a low-maintenance homeowner” and sit on the porch. You have to fix the emergencies first. Rip out the pipes. Replace the roof. Seal the gas line. It’s expensive. It’s messy. People are going to say “I thought you said this would be a quiet house.” And you say... “It will be. After I fix the things that are about to kill us.” That’s what the second term has been. Emergency triage on a world that was handed to this President in a state of active decay. Not by accident, not by fate, but by the deliberate incompetence of everyone who came before. The Trump Doctrine... the real, permanent version... is still coming. And it will look exactly like what you voted for. No permanent troop deployments in Caracas. No American military governor in Tehran. No nation-building, no democracy-exporting, no trillion-dollar reconstruction funds. Get in. Fix the emergency. Arrange cooperative locals to run things in a direction that doesn’t threaten America. Get out. Venezuela is already on that track. The oil deal was signed within days of Maduro’s capture. Delcy Rodríguez is cooperating. American companies are investing. The troops are not staying. Iran is going to be harder and take longer... there’s active combat right now, this weekend, as you’re reading this. Three Americans are dead. More will follow, the President himself said so. But the objective is not to occupy Iran. The objective is to break the regime’s capacity to threaten the United States and its allies, support whatever transition the Iranian people choose... and they’re already in the streets, they’ve been in the streets since December... and then leave. This is not Afghanistan. There will not be twenty years of patrols in Isfahan. There will not be a democratic transition monitored by USAID consultants who’ve never been outside the Green Zone. There will be a broken regime, a liberated population, and an American exit. Cuba will fold without a single American boot on the ground. It’s already happening. And when it’s done... when the threats that took decades to build have been eliminated in months... the doctrine takes hold. Not as a slogan on a hat. Not as a campaign promise that sounds good in a rally and dissolves on contact with reality. As an actual, operational, strategic posture that future presidents will inherit and maintain, because the conditions that required intervention will no longer exist. No Iranian nuclear program to contain. No Venezuelan narco-pipeline to interdict. No Cuban forward base to monitor. No justification for the next generation of neocons to drag us into the next Iraq. That’s the vision. That’s what the second term is building toward. And I know it’s painful right now. I know three families are grieving tonight. I know more will grieve before this is over. And I know it looks, from the outside, like everything we were promised has been broken. But I’m asking you to hold the line. Not because the President is infallible... he’s not, nobody is... but because the logic is sound. You cannot build a fortress of peace on a foundation of unresolved threats. You have to clear the ground first. That’s what’s happening. It’s ugly and it’s costly and it was never going to look the way anyone wanted it to look. But the house will be clean. And then we maintain it. And then... finally, for the first time in a generation... we stop sending our kids to die in countries that hate us. That’s the Trump Doctrine. Not the opening act. The final destination. And we’re almost there.

Strange start to the week. Woke up to the attached DM. Removed the identifier bc that’s not important. The tactic and the message are what’s important, and I’m posting publicly for anyone similarly situated, thinking about trying to engage me as some sort of gatekeeper for my colleagues (lol). If you identify with the position in the image (and based on comment activity, a lot of you do) this is my answer to you as well. *** “This is such a strange message to start the week with. First, you’re obviously offended at my colleagues’ positions on a breaking war, which is fine, but you felt the need to bring your offense to me with this overt emotional blackmail — as though you want to burden shift what you perceive to be their offense and harm to me. Strange. Second, just for the record, that show was one of the highest watched this year, and the feedback skews positive — from what I’ve seen, the majority of people are grateful that the guys provided a reason-first hedge against the breaking blood lust and war-drumming that captivated the nation (including, it seems, yourself). I missed the chat because I watched Sunday on replay, so I can’t comment on that experience. It def doesn’t sound like Jon or Chris to mute people that disagree with them, so I’m skeptical of your claim, but since I wasn’t there I can’t speak to it. Regardless, it’s a bit discombobulating that “truthers” who have been with us a long time are suddenly so triggered by Badlanders being who we’ve always been, approaching the war of stories the way we always have. That’s not an us problem — we’re consistently trying to triangulate truth. That is, Jon and Chris didn’t change. A new story dropped (war!) and it seems from your message that you wanted your biases confirmed and that didn’t happen and you’re mad about it. Again — not an us problem. Finally, the point you made about viewer metrics going down also reveals quite a bit about who you think we are. We’d never censor or change our positions because they might offend our audience. We don’t coddle or gaslight or massage the feelings of our audience — we never have. The intellectually honest pursuit of truth is a first principle for Badlands. Sometimes we learn that it’s not a first principle for our audience, and that’s okay, too. There are plenty of channels and influencers at the ready to confirm your biases and cheer on war with Iran and rationalize away dead Americans and all the rest. I have no doubt you’ll find what you’re looking for out there, and I wish you the best. God bless.” #highlyfrictional
