Republicans should absolutely attach the SAVE America Act to FISA. We have limited opportunities left to secure our elections — let's not waste them!

News: Secret Service officials are furious that FBI Director Kash Patel prematurely announced on Tuesday morning the details of a sealed and ongoing criminal investigation into a plot to attack the UFC fight event this weekend with drones, according to three people familiar with the incident. Secret Service and FBI agents had been partnered on the investigation into a group of individuals discussing plans for a drone attack at the White House in the last week, and had discussed unsealing the case and making an announcement later that day. The problem with Patel’s social media announcement, the sources say, was the case had been sealed in court and roughly ten suspects had not yet been arrested and placed in custody at the time Patel made his public social media post. Secret Service and FBI officials had discussed seeking to make more arrests, unseal the case by late Tuesday afternoon and make a joint public statement, and were surprised by Patel “jumping the gun.” “We all woke up this morning to see this on Twitter,” said one administration official, who like others, asked to speak confidentially to discuss sensitive matters. The threat to the UFC event became known to the Secret Service and FBI in the last week when a relative of one of the suspects contacted local police in the Cincinnati area, according to two people briefed on the probe, and reporting that their relative was talking about engaging in some vague plot in DC. An advanced threat interdiction team at the Secret Service, with the help of the FBI, began seeking a subpoena for an encrypted Signal chat thread and then were able to identify the plot being planned and some of the people discussing using drones and possible snipers to attack the UFC fight event at the White House’s South lawn. Authorities then arrested one suspect on June 13 and moved immediately to seal the case so the FBI and Secret Service could continue investigating and identifying and arresting additional suspects. The Secret Service also dramatically increased its plans for security around the event as a precaution, and put out an alert to its law enforcement partners to be on the lookout for people with drones in downtown Washington and other identifying information. Matt Quinn, the Secret Service’s deputy director, called out Patel’s premature announcement in a Tuesday news conference but did not use his name and said the Secret Service made a conscious decision not to reveal the existence of the probe prematurely. “I’ll tell you a phrase I learned early in my career in the New York field office and that’s `Don’t choke on your own smoke,” he said. “I’ll tell you the Secret Service led that investigation from the beginning. I’ll tell you that case is ongoing. In order to maintain the integrity of the investigation and the security plan, we chose not to leak it.” He said he was choosing not to discuss extensive details of the case because it remained sealed and ongoing.

I’m not a Donald Trump sycophant. I supported him in 2016, and then he lost my support in 2020. I voted for him again in 2024, and then he lost my support when he bombed Iran. I’ve been open about all of that. People like Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro tried to weaponize the fact that Tucker Carlson, Dave Smith, and Megyn Kelly did not have undying support for the President. But they, too, have always made their support conditional. The only difference is that they were never as transparent about their motivations. They would always couch their criticisms of us as: “They don’t support our President!” You can just hear Levin screaming it. Ben Shapiro opportunistically criticized Dave Smith only after Dave said that he regretted voting for Trump and thought he should be impeached. But it’s obvious now that their allegiances were never to Donald Trump or the Republican Party or “conservatism” itself. They only supported Trump to the extent he supported a pro-Israel and anti-Iran foreign policy. As soon as there is ever any doubt about Trump, they return to their Never Trump origins. But this is what we’ve always asked for: let’s drop the pretenses and discuss our policy priorities out in the open without playing the team sports or personality politics card.

If we don’t stop this concert, it will be telling everyone that antisemitism is okay. It’s NOT.

The UK rape gang inquiry report just dropped and it should make your blood boil: 1. At least 250,000 young White girls were groomed, raped, trafficked, and tortured. 2. Perpetrators followed consistent tactics of befriending vulnerable girls as young as 11 with gifts, drugs, and alcohol before subjecting them to group rapes, violence, blackmail, pregnancies, forced conversions, and trafficking. 3. UK institutions—including police, social services, schools, NHS, and politicians—catastrophically failed victims through denial, ignored reports, criminalization of victims, destruction of evidence, and prioritization of political correctness and fears of “racism” accusations over child protection. 4. 87–95% of convicted perpetrators in group-based child sexual exploitation cases were Muslim. It was predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs. They operated across 149 local authority districts. Groups from Somali, Iranian, Syrian, Turkish, and other Muslim origins were also involved. 5. The Muslim perpetrators operated under an honour- and shame-based clan code that treated non-Muslim girls, especially White working class girls, as property available for sexual use. Girls were told that they’re “White trash” who deserved punishment. People need to go to prison for this.
