WATCH: @bungarsargon brings the facts about data used to claim political violence is a "both sides" issue.

EXCLUSIVE: NIH has removed virologist Ralph Baric from all his grants; UNC placed Baric on leave. Senior HHS officials says UNC was complicit in starting the COVID pandemic. “Baric designed the gun,” he said. “But the Chinese built it, and then they pulled the trigger.” realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2026/…


In 1863, on a remote Greek island, a worker digging in the ruins of a 2,000 year old sanctuary stopped and shouted to the French diplomat supervising the excavation: "Monsieur, we have found a woman." What he had found was not a woman. It was a giant marble torso. No head. No arms. But a pair of broken wings... She is the Winged Victory of Samothrace, carved around 190 BC. The statue depicts the goddess Nike, the personification of victory in the ancient Greek world. She is shown alighting on the prow of a warship: the moment of triumph caught in stone. The marble is so finely worked that the fabric of her tunic appears wet, pressed against her body by an invisible wind, while heavy folds billow behind her as if still moving. She originally stood high above the Aegean Sea, in the Sanctuary of the Great Gods on the island of Samothrace, set at a deliberate angle to be seen from afar... Charles Champoiseau, the French vice-consul who supervised her excavation, sent her to Paris in pieces. Around 110 fragments were recovered. The head and arms were never found. He thought the grey marble blocks scattered around her were the remains of a tomb, and left them on the island. It took twelve more years before Austrian archaeologists realized those blocks were the prow of the ship she had been standing on. Today, she watches over the top of the Daru Staircase in the Louvre, where ten million people walk up to her every year. There is something almost mystical about her presence — a sense that what is missing is more powerful than what remains. The absent head and arms, the broken wings: they don't weaken her. They free her. She is no longer a goddess in stone. She is the moment of victory itself, and you can finish her story in your own mind...

Charge him. This is getting out of hand.

Obama's Secret Stay Behind Army Obama literally created "The Department of The Deep State" at the flick of a pen. The Senior Executive Service, or "SES" was created on September 19, 1979 during the Carter administration. It was originally formed to professionalize career civil service, while attracting the nation's best and brightest in an effort to improve and moderate the management of the federal bureaucracy. A position within the "SES" is considered the equivalent to general officer or the flag officer ranks in the U.S. Armed Forces. For that reason, they are often referred to as our "civilian generals." The SES was to be a corps of non-partisan, career managers who serve as the executive management of federal agencies. Their job being to implement policy, not create it. At least it was until then President Obama changed that with a mere flick of his pen, making SES members nearly impossible to fire, once hired. To say Obama's transformation of the SES into an army of political operatives was effective would be a gross understatement. There are more than 2 million federal employees. And at the top of that pyramid are approximately 8,000 SES (Senior Executive Service) employees who service as the professional managerial class linking our political leaders to the civil service rank and file. And Barack Obama as president, replaced more than 6,000 members of the 8,000-member SES during his 2 terms, assembling what became a stay-behind army of political operatives. Here's a list of the number of SES employees that were embedded in the following government agencies at the end of Obama’s 2nd term in 2016: Department of Education – 86 Department of Housing & Urban Development – 115 Department of the Air Force – 182 Department of Labor – 200 Department of State – 204 Department of Transportation – 231 Department of Interior – 258 Department of the Army – 261 Department of the Navy – 326 Department of Veterans Affairs – 357 Department of Agriculture – 361 Department of Commerce – 425 Department of the Treasury – 458 Department of Health & Human Services – 468 Department of Defense – 478 Department of Energy – 490 Department of Homeland Security – 639 Department of Justice – 821 All Other Agencies (non-Cabinet agencies) – 1,796 And it wasn't just a purge of patriots from governmental agencies. Obama's purge of the military was especially damaging to our national security, as he literally gutted the command structure of the U.S. military. Cleaning out the filth from decades of infiltration and then Obama's embedded political operatives has been a long uphill battle in taking back our country and restoring our republic to making America great again. All roads lead to Obama.

John Thune has become a punching bag for good reason but there is a more insidious force at play nobody can talk about. Let me explain… The staffers in Thune’s office have been asking Trump Naval and Maritime appointees questions about me before confirmation hearings. I doubt John Thune knows who I am. His staff absolutely does. They track me. They hate me. And they will quietly bleed pushing out any appointee I’m friends with. Someone close to PPO told me a Trump staffer commented that “Konrad should be a HBS case study on someone every in the administration respects but has zero chance of any appointment.” It’s probably because I’ve called out congressional staffers numerous times before. This is how Congress actually works. It’s always the staffers. When we first floated the SHIPS Act, Mike Johnson’s hometown delegation were strong supporters. The minute he became Speaker, his hometown people got bulldozed by the Speaker of the House staff he inherited. Same man, different staff, different priorities. Why do you think they wanted Mitch McConnell propped up after the freezing episodes? It wasn’t McConnell. It was the cartel of people on his staff who needed his chair filled by someone they already controlled. Members can’t read their own bills anymore. Thirty years of capped staff, frozen pay, and brain drain to K Street has left rank and file senators functionally illiterate on the legislation they vote on. Leadership staff fill the vacuum. They are not entrenched because they are corrupt. They are entrenched because nobody else in the building can move a 1,500-page must-pass bill through conference. That is the cartel. And it has rules. If you want anything in the NDAA, the omnibus, the CR, or any vehicle that actually moves, you do not piss them off. You do not name them. Break either rule and you do not get a second omnibus. I’m not even willing to name individual staff. John Phelan is the case study nobody is reading correctly. Phelan was not fired because he was a bad secretary. Phelan was fired because his chief of staff Jon Harrison had deep knowledge of the pentagon that Phelan lacked. Without him, Phelan was walking around the Pentagon naked and he knew it. He pulled back from media events and became too cautious. Then there is Susie Wiles. I don’t know her. Never met her. From everything I can piece together she is doing a great job. The point is not Susie. The point is the Vanity Fair article. It’s not even the article itself, that article contained a lot of BS, it was the reaction that came after. Every single republican & a few democrats stood behind her. Now contrast that with the flood of negative articles about Mike Waltz, Kristi Noem or Pam Bondi. When a politician is the subject of a hut piece is dragged over the coals, the system shrugs. But when it’s a senior staffer, the system closes rank. It is safer to trash Trump in print than to be perceived as trashing Susie. Trump is used to it. Susie controls the schedule, the access, and the door. Multiply Susie by every leadership chief of staff, every NDAA conference staffer, & you have the machine. It is not partisan. Schumer’s staff & Thune’s staff protect each other from outside critics more reliably than they protect their own bosses from each other. Leaders come and go but leadership staff is entrenched. Congress is broken because leadership staff on both sides want it to remain broken. A Congress that can only legislate through 2,000-page must-pass bill is a Congress where the staff who draft the bill run the country. Regular order is their extinction event. They will never let it come back voluntarily. You can call out politicians all day. They are used to it. Call out the staff and you don’t get frozen out of one bill. You get frozen out of every bill, by every office, on both sides, for as long as the cartel decides to remember your name. They remember mine. Now you know why. even Luna can’t vall them out.

🚨 JUST IN: AG Todd Blanche SHOOTS DOWN speculation that this a politically motivated case against James Comey, saying they've also charged an individual in the SAME DISTRICT for threatening the life of JOE BIDEN "[Comey's] alleged conduct is the same kind of conduct that we will never tolerate and that we will always investigate and regularly prosecute"

.@POTUS: The first Americans saw themselves as free men, carrying forward the ancestral liberties and ancient rights of the Anglo-Saxons into this New World. In the eyes of America’s Founders, our War for Independence was fought not to reject this heritage, but to reclaim it and perfect it.
