Trump releases the JFK files — but are we getting the whole truth?



Eighty thousand documents — that’s what the Trump administration just dumped on the American people.

Yesterday, Donald Trump delivered on one of his campaign promises: to release the sealed government files relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. But let’s be real: Are we really supposed to believe that those who controlled the files will give us anything that will lead to any real answers? Or is this just another round of obfuscation, another carefully orchestrated release designed to bury the truth in an avalanche of paper and PDFs?

The CIA was actively shaping media narratives decades ago.

My team spent the last 24 hours combing through the first batch. Let’s break it down.

What’s new?

One of the biggest revelations from the JFK files concerns a 1967 memo, which references a CIA operative and former U.S. Army captain named John Garrett (“Gary”) Underhill. According to this document, Underhill fled Washington in a panic the day after JFK’s assassination, confiding in a friend that a “small clique within the U.S.” was responsible for Kennedy’s murder.

Six months later, Underhill was found dead. The official ruling — with little surprise — was suicide.

Another document reveals that the KGB closely monitored Lee Harvey Oswald while he was in the Soviet Union — and interestingly, the files suggest Oswald was a poor shot during target practice there. A Soviet man even contacted the British Embassy in 1963, claiming that Oswald had been planning to kill the president. This man said he warned American officials, but nothing was done.

If we take these documents at face value, the message is clear: Our government, at best, was stunningly incompetent.

Arguably, one of the most disturbing patterns to emerge from the JFK files is the CIA’s extensive domestic operations. One document details covert operations conducted from multiple U.S. cities, including wiretapping and media manipulation, indicating that the CIA was actively shaping media narratives decades ago.

What’s next?

My team is still sorting through this mountain of documents, and there will be more to come. But if the latest debacle with the released Epstein files is any indication, we won’t find the smoking gun — at least not immediately.

We’ll see more evidence of what we’ve suspected all along: The deep state will stop at nothing to cover its tracks, whether by suppressing confidential documents or dumping 80,000 documents that bury the truth.

Next week on my show, we’ll go even deeper into these findings. Until then, remember: Don’t just accept what the government hands you. Think. Question. And never stop searching for the truth.

Biden regime launches two new attacks on incoming Trump administration



As the end of his regime draws near, Joe Biden is using his final days to create an intentional mess.

“Think of him walking out of the White House and just chucking grenades,” says Liz Wheeler.

This isn’t just about sabotaging Donald Trump, though; it’s also about flipping the bird to his supporters — people who want to see mass deportations, biological males kept out of women’s spaces, and an end to the gross spending that has left the country in economic shambles.

“He wants to stop President Trump from doing everything that you and I voted for,” says Liz.

However, she knows that Joe Biden himself doesn’t have the mental acuity to orchestrate this kind of political sabotage — it’s “whoever controls Joe Biden” that’s doing it.

“Obama, maybe,” she theorizes.

Whoever that person or group is has now launched two additional attacks against the incoming administration.

“Biden's puppet masters have removed Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism,” says Liz, and they are attempting to “throw a roadblock in the Elon Musk-Vivek Ramaswamy DOGE efforts.”

Musk, with Trump’s support, plans to make all remote government employees report in person — an idea Liz says is excellent and necessary, as it ensures employees are “not taking advantage of taxpayer money” or “actively working to harm the administration.”

To thwart these efforts, “Joe Biden [is trying] to cement the stay-at-home allowance for the federal workforce.”

This is an attempt, Liz says, to ensure that the administrative state can never be abolished.

He wants “his swamp creatures, his administrative state tucked away in their little holes, in home, where no one can see what they're doing,” she says.

‘Sinking the Democratic Party’: Florida Dems Rip Biden for Delisting Cuba as Terrorism Sponsor

Florida Democrats slammed President Joe Biden for his Tuesday executive order delisting Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, saying the move will further erode the party’s standing in the red state, Axios reported.

Rubio and the Return of the Monroe Doctrine

President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday tapped Florida senator Marco Rubio (R.) to lead the State Department. Rubio is, among other things, a full-spectrum opponent of China's nefarious activities, and the news of his nomination dismayed the soft-on-China crowd. He is also tough on Iran and should focus America's diplomats on promoting the nation's interests rather than exporting the culture wars. But Rubio's most distinctive foreign policy contribution is likely to be in Latin America, where he can bring the Monroe Doctrine back to the center of U.S. foreign policy.

Kamala Harris Embraces Popular Communist Slogan

Kamala Harris has served as vice president since 2021, but that hasn't stopped her from running for president as the "change" candidate who will "turn the page on the last decade." In doing so, the Democrat has embraced a communist slogan popularized by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and American tyrant Barack Obama.

Where the Cold War Got Hot

When one thinks of a Cold War-era metropolis, dreary London, drab D.C., or snowy Moscow probably come to mind. By contrast, sunny Miami is more likely to conjure images of beaches and piña coladas, and, if you’re from a certain era, the actor Don Johnson in a pastel shirt and a white suit with shoulder pads. But as Vince Houghton and Eric Driggs show in Covert City: The Cold War and the Making of Miami, the town was more than a tropical playground. Rather it was—indeed still is—a veritable den of spies.

Kansas lawmakers pass bill prohibiting foreign adversary-tied entities from buying land near military installations



Kansas lawmakers voted Wednesday to pass a bill prohibiting foreign adversary-tied entities from purchasing land near United States military installations, the Associated Press reported.

Republican legislators in the state’s House of Representatives passed Senate Bill 172 in an 84-39 vote this week. The legislation would prevent organizations with foreign terrorist ties as well as individuals and businesses from China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela from acquiring property located within 150 miles of any military site.

Republican Kansas Rep. Jake LaTurner stated in a post on X Wednesday that state lawmakers recently “discussed the importance of ensuring CCP-backed companies aren’t gaining access to Kansas supply chains and crucial military bases across our state.”

He applauded legislators for passing the “strong, commonsense” bill, noting it would prevent China from “expanding its foothold in Kansas.”

“We can’t stand by and let the Chinese Communist Party steal from, bully, and spy on Kansans right in our own backyard,” LaTurner added.

In a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation, LaTurner called the Chinese Communist Party the “greatest national security threat facing Kansas.”

A December report from the DCNF revealed that a CCP-tied chemicals company, Cnano Technology USA Inc., plans to build a $95 million, 333,000-square-foot facility in Johnson County, Kansas, that will manufacture liquid conductive paste for batteries used in electric vehicles, cell phones, and power tools. The facility’s location is only 35 miles from Fort Leavenworth and 70 miles from Whiteman Air Force Base, the DCNF reported based on research conducted by the Heritage Foundation Oversight Project and Heritage Action.

If it becomes law, SB 172 could prevent Cnano USA, a subsidiary of China-based Cnano Jiangsu Technology Co. Ltd., from building the facility.

Republican Kansas lawmakers also passed two other proposals aimed at cracking down on economic activity with foreign adversaries. In an 85-38 vote, legislators passed SB 37, which would require the state to divest from firms affiliated with adversary entities, the AP reported.

Republican state Rep. Nick Hoheisel said, “It is inappropriate for our state to allocate resources to countries that present substantial obstacles to human rights, international stability, and our national security.”

Lawmakers also voted 83-40 to pass SB 271, which would ban state agencies from acquiring drones that contain “critical components” made in or produced by a foreign adversary nation.

Democratic Rep. John Carmichael and other critics accused Republican lawmakers of pushing xenophobic measures.

“This has turned into Asian Prejudice Day in the Kansas Legislature, and it’s not a proud moment,” Carmichael stated.

Democratic Rep. Boog Highberger argued that legislation would not prevent spying but would negatively impact immigrant business owners.

“To the extent that there is a problem, much of it could be addressed by our existing prohibition on corporate ownership of farmland,” Highberger claimed.

Republican leaders in other states, including Arkansas, Missouri, and Indiana, are pushing forward similar measures to prevent prohibited foreign entities from buying land.

Don of a New Age

The Mafia is an American institution. No wonder it's been in decline since the 1970s. Unlike other American institutions such as the DMV and the TSA, the MOB is esteemed by many of the people it exploits. Not all organized criminals are viewed so reverentially. Just 13 percent of adults approve of the job Congress is doing. A far greater number of Americans approve of the job that Francis Ford Coppola did on the Godfather movies—just not Godfather III.
