Variety magazine is confirming the claims that Tucker Carlson was told by an unarmed Fox Corp. board member that his firing was part of an oral agreement with Dominion Voting Systems.

“On April 26, Carlson spoke by phone with one of Fox Corp.’s eight board members, who told the host that his recent benching was a condition of Fox News’ settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the conversation,” Variety reported Tuesday.

“That condition was intended to hurt Fox, and Tucker is just collateral damage,” Variety quoted a source. “Dominion wanted to punish Fox, and it’s working.”

Variety claimed that the alleged Carson firing wasn’t put into writing on the settlement documents but was agreed to orally during negotiations.

The report said that Dominion had leverage to potentially back out of the deal before it is ultimately finalized in late May if Carlson was not removed from Fox News.

Dominion has of course denied any of these claims.

“The reports of our involvement with his firing are 100% false,” a Dominion spokesperson told Newsmax.

“As the Fox principals who negotiated the settlement well know, Dominion made no demands about Tucker Carlson’s employment orally or in writing. Any claims otherwise are categorically false and a thinly veiled effort to further damage Dominion.”

“Fox should take every effort to stop these lies immediately.”

Newsmax reported:

A Fox News request for comment from Newsmax has yet to be returned.

Last week, Axios reported Carlson’s attorney had written to Fox claiming the network had engaged in fraud and breached its contract with its top host.

“Carlson was told by a member of the Fox board that he was taken off the air as part of the Dominion settlement, two sources briefed on the conversation,” Axios reported.

So far Fox has yet to explain why it fired its number one rated host.

But Tucker supporters like Megyn Kelly said the network, and its PR chief Irena Briganti, have engaged in a nasty smear campaign against Carlson to make it difficult for him to find employment elsewhere.

Briganti has denied such claims.

The Tucker link to Dominion raises many concerns.

Last week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted a possible reprimand for Dominion Voting Systems.

“If the public reporting is accurate that Dominion Voting Systems demanded that Tucker Carlson be fired as part of a litigation settlement, then I am happy that Dominion does not operate in Texas, and I don’t think that they should do so in the future,” Abbott wrote.

“We may disagree with other’s positions, but we should never try to improperly silence views contrary to our own. If Dominion wants to do business with Texas in the future, they should first answer questions about what role, if any, they played in silencing a prominent conservative journalist.”

Texas rejected the use of Dominion Voting Systems software before the 2020 election.

Newsmax also reported:

Carlson is said to remain under contract with Fox News, refusing to allow him out of his $10- plus million per year contract that would keep him from joining a cable network competitor before January 2025.

But Carlson announced last week he will be running an independent show on Twitter.

Carlson’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, is currently negotiating with Fox to allow the host to work outside the network.

Variety says if there is no resolution, Carlson is preparing for litigation and will “watch the network implode attempting to challenge free speech.”

As per the Daily Mail, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, will soon be exposing Epstein’s notorious operations involving the sexual harassment of minors.

Jeffrey Epstein’s victim disclosed that she saw several videos that the disgraced pedophile recorded in which his wealthy allies were seen having sex with a female target in order to “blackmail” her. 

Ransome testified in an affidavit related to a lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s ex-girlfriend.

Ransome claimed to have seen footage of two associates of Epstein, engaging in sexual activity with a female victim.

She also claims that she was compelled to be a part of a threesome that involved an unnamed woman and Dershowitz.

Dershowitz has addressed these assertions. 

Dershowitz refuses the sexual abuse allegations against him as he informed the Daily Beast: 

“Let me be very clear—I have had sex with one woman since the day I met my wife.”

Dershowitz added: 

“And during the entire relevant period of time, I never had any contact with Ransome. I’ve never had any contact with anyone else. And the stories are all made up.”

Ransome continuously argued that the video she watched will “haunt me for the rest of my life” and also mentioned that the faces of the abusers were clear.

The House Oversight and Accountability Committee shared in great detail what new bank records obtained by the committee through a subpoena show in regard to the Biden family’s business dealings. 

The Biden family and its business associates formed 20+ companies and received over $10 million from foreign nationals while Joe Biden served as VP under Barack Obama. 

Was this the Biden family attempting to “peddle influence” and was it an attempt to cover and conceal the source of the money?

Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., released a memo ahead of Wednesday’s press conference saying it appears that was the case. 

The committee subpoenaed several banks as part of the investigation and received thousands of records related to the Bidens and their business associates, according to the memo. 

Hunter Biden’s business partners Rob Walker and James Gilliar assisted the Biden family in creating “a web of over 20 companies” mainly in Delaware and Washington, D.C. while Joe Biden was vice president. 

“After assuming the vice presidency in 2009, records reveal Hunter Biden and his business associates formed at least 15 companies,” the memo said. 

“Those companies include Lion Hall Group LLC; Owasco P.C.; Robinson Walker, LLC; Skaneateles, LLC; Seneca Global Advisors, LLC; Rosemont Seneca Partners, LLC; Rosemont Seneca Principal Investments LLC; Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC; Hudson West III, LLC; Hudson West V, LLC; CEFC Infrastructure Investment (US) and others,” the memo continued. 

“Bank records show the Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals’ companies,” the memo said, adding that the committee discovered payments to Biden family members from foreign companies “while Joe Biden served as Vice President and after he left public office.”

“[T]he Biden family used business associates’ companies to receive millions of dollars from foreign companies,” the memo stated, adding that the Biden family “received incremental payments over time to different bank accounts.”

“In some instances, Biden associates would receive significant deposits from foreign sources into their bank accounts and then transfer smaller, incremental payments to Biden bank accounts,” the memo said.

“These complicated and seemingly unnecessary financial transactions appear to be a concerted effort to conceal the source and total amount received from the foreign companies.”

“The committee is concerned about the Biden family’s pattern of courting business in regions of the world in which the then Vice President had an outsize role and influenced U.S. policy,” the memo said.

The committee found that besides Hunter and his business partners, members of the Biden family, including the president’s brother James Biden and his daughter-in-law Hallie Biden, also received foreign funds.

The memo highlighted two people from China, Ye Jianming and Gongwen Dong, who had ties to the Chinese energy company with which Hunter had a relationship and was a potential threat to America’s national security.

The memo said Ye had “close ties to the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party and was reportedly deputy secretary-general for an international outreach arm of the People’s Liberation Army.”

Ye was later detained by the CCP in 2018.

“The Bidens received millions of dollars from their Chinese partnership,” the memo said.

“When Ye was detained by the Chinese, Hunter Biden then attempted to distance himself from the relationship by claiming he had never been paid by CEFC. This was false,” the memo stated.

“When Ye was detained by the Chinese, Hunter Biden then attempted to distance himself from the relationship by claiming he had never been paid by CEFC. This was false,” the memo stated.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy declared that Congress will take action after former President Donald Trump was indicted by a grand jury in the case brought against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 charges regarding allegations that he falsified business records related to adult film star Stormy Daniels’ hush-money case. Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury in a case involving his purported role in hush money payments to Daniels ahead of the 2016 election, allegedly to keep Daniels quiet about an affair the two of them had in 2006.

McCarthy voiced his frustration and vowed to hold Bragg accountable.

“Alvin Bragg is attempting to interfere in our democratic process by invoking federal law to bring politicized charges against President Trump, admittedly using federal funds, while at the same time arguing that the people’s representatives in Congress lack jurisdiction to investigate this farce. Not so. Bragg’s weaponization of the federal justice process will be held accountable by Congress,” McCarthy said.

Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz also recently went after Bragg, saying he believes the Manhattan DA could be disbarred for his case against Trump.

Dershowitz told DW’s Tim Sebastian that while he does not support Trump politically, he believes the indictment Bragg brought against the former Trump is “absurd and politically motivated.” Dershowitz argued that Trump will not get a “fair trial in Manhattan” given the judges and prosecutors are elected, meaning those in New York all likely lean to the Left politically.

“If he uses Cohen as a witness, he could actually lose his bar license. Putting a witness on the stand who you know is lying is unethical, and he has to know that Cohen will be lying. Or he tries the case without Cohen, which would be very difficult, or he does the right thing: he drops the case,” Dershowitz said.

Dershowitz made a similar argument late last month.

During an appearance on Fox News, Dershowitz argued that Bragg could face up to five years in prison if he is found guilty of leaking details of Trump’s indictment to the media.

Leaking grand jury testimony to the public is a Class E felony in New York and carries a prison sentence between one and five years.

Dershowitz also spoke about how having Michael Cohen as a witness could damage the district attorney.

Dershowitz said that it appears Bragg’s theory is that Trump should have disclosed why he paid for a non-disclosure agreement to adult film star Stormy Daniels, which would defeat the purpose of the non-disclosure agreement.

“Why would Mr. Trump pay the money in the first place if he had to publicly disclose the embarrassing reason? Furthermore, no one in history has ever been indicted for listing ‘legal expenses’ for setting a potentially embarrassing payment of hush money,” he said.

“Thus, even the misdemeanor allegation involving false entries is unprecedented and represents selective prosecution. It is also almost certainly barred by the two-year statute of limitations. In order to elevate this bookkeeping case into a felony, Mr. Bragg must also prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the reason Trump made the false entry — if he himself did it — was solely as a campaign contribution to help him win his election,” he said.

Jeffrey Epstein got arrested in 2019 for allegedly running a sex-trafficking enterprise in which he paid underage girls to have sex with him at his Manhattan home and his estate in Palm Beach.

On August 10, 2019 guards at the Metropolitan Correctional Center found Jeffrey Epstein dead in his cell. The official cause of death is suicide, though he was on twenty-four suicide watch. The guards admit to never checking on him like they were supposed to.

Of course, the prevailing thought amongst Americans is that he did not hang himself. People believe he was murdered in his cell to ensure he didn’t give up information on his clients. The clients, are believed to be some important people around the globe.

Epstein was infamous for his sexual exploitation of young teenage girls who were, in many cases, no older than children. He had help from Ghislaine Maxwell.

Maxwell was convicted this past December for sex crimes against children. At the time, prosecutors claimed she was a sophisticated predator despite defense claims she was an innocent scapegoat for Epstein.

The most serious charge Maxwell was convicted on was the charge of sex trafficking minors, which carries a maximum of 40 years in prison. She was found guilty of several more offenses.

The other charges include conspiracy to entice a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Conspiracy to transport a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

The last two charges include transporting a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, which carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison. Conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors, which carries a statutory maximum of five years in prison.

Maxwell should have been going to prison for sixty-five years which would be the rest of her life. However, she was sentenced to just twenty years. In addition, the sex trafficker is being transferred to a low-security prison in Florida where she can take part in numerous fun activities.

There have been numerous cases around the country where the offender was sentenced to life in prison for the same or similar offenses.

A Pastor, Cordelle Jenkins, in Ohio was sentenced to life in prison for child sex trafficking charges in May of 2019.

William Quinn of Nebraska was sentenced for child sex trafficking charges in December. His sentence is a minimum of 176.5 years to a maximum of 304 years in prison. Eighteen other people have been convicted in this case.

There have been numerous longer sentences around the nation for crimes that didn’t rise to the level of Epstein’s and Maxwell’s. Yet, the punishment doesn’t seem to fit.

It sure seems like Maxwell made a deal. A deal to remain quiet on the client list and her sentence would be reduced and served in Disneyland prison.

According to the Gateway Pundit, it is inexplicable that no media outlet has filed to unseal the records of the case. It seems nobody is looking to find out who Epstein’s high-profile clients were. The Gateway Pundit is.

According to truthtent.com, Gateway Pundit lawyers Marc Randazza and Jay Wolman of the Randazza Legal Group, along with GP General Counsel John Burns filed a motion to unseal all records identifying Epstein’s sex clients.

In a normal case of this nature, the courts and media outlets would be looking to uncover all the names and try to publish them so everyone would know. In this case, it sure seems like the high-powered corporate media might be trying to protect their own.

General Michael Flynn has been on a tear lately. General Michael Flynn has been attacked over the last couple years since he was the national security advisor for Donald Trump during his presidency.

Michael Flynn was one of the many who the left despised and targeted to bring down Donald Trump, but that has not worked.

Now Michael Flynn is fighting back against the left and is issue a motion to subpoena many known democrats. He also is filing a restraining order against Nancy Pelosi and also launching a $50 million lawsuit against former President Barrack Obama

The Raging Patriot reported

“The other day that Flynn has filed a motion to quash a subpoena issued by the House Select Committee to Investigate the Attack on the United States Capitol on January 6th. He also filed a request for a preliminary injunction and a temporary restraining order against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.”

All nine members of the Select Committee were identified as defendants in the complaint, whereas Pelosi was designated as the only defendant in the motion. Flynn was briefly in the administration of former President Donald Trump for a few weeks before resigning on February 13, 2017. Now, Flynn is going after Obama and the FBI.

It was recently reported that

ormer Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn has recently filed a $50 million lawsuit against the Justice Department and the FBI for “malicious prosecution” related to the widely pedaled Trump-Russia collusion hoax. 

It was reported by American Faith News that

this lawsuit was quietly filed by Flynn and names Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington D.C. and the Executive Office of the President. In the civil lawsuit, Flynn alleges that former President Barack Obama and the FBI had a feud against him that spurred their actions. 

The lawsuit noted that, “Of all of President Trump’s appointees, the Obama White House hated Flynn the most.” The filing also noted possible interference by the FBI due to a series of irregularities listed in his case.

The filing continued saying, “As part of these efforts, the FBI began to target Flynn. Flynn was no stranger to the FBI and its leadership, many of whom considered Flynn to be a personal enemy of the FBI and the success of their own FBI careers.” 

Compensation of the proposed civil suit are from, “Damages including but not limited to lost past and future earnings/revenue, emotional distress, lost opportunity to be President’s National Security Advisor, significant restraints of personal liberty, attorney fees/expenses and court costs in defending against malicious prosecution, abuse of process, false arrest.”

Flynn’s civil suit against the FBI stems from their probe into him that was “the target of a politically motivated investigation and prosecution that had no merit when it began, no merit during its course, and no merit in the end when the charges were withdrawn by the DOJ and ultimately dismissed by the Court after Flynn received a full pardon,” according to the filing. 

It is great to see Michael Flynn fight back after all the years of “witch hunting”. Hopefully justice will be served to those who deserve it.

It’s about time.

Since Twitter suspended the accounts of patriots like Donald Trump, Jordan Peterson, Congresswoman Majorie Taylor-Greene, and others, we’ve known they’ve been pushing the liberal agenda. And pushing it hard.

Well, it turns out they had a little help from the top law enforcement agency in the world with their liberal push. And Republicans are furious about it.

Matt Taibbi is the journalist Elon Musk has been using to release the evidence of collusions. Taibbi had this to say:

“The #TwitterFiles are revealing more every day about how the government collects, analyzes, and flags your social media content. Twitter’s contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive, as if it were a subsidiary.”

“Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth… a surprisingly high number are requests by the FBI for Twitter to take action on election misinformation, even involving joke tweets from low-follower accounts.”

“Some are mundane, like San Francisco agent Elvis Chan wishing Roth a Happy New Year along with a reminder to attend “our quarterly call next week.” Others are requests for information about Twitter users related to active investigations.

“But a surprisingly high number are requests by the FBI for Twitter to take action on election misinformation, even involving joke tweets from low-follower accounts.”

Is that a joke? This seriously happened? The FBI was policing jokes on Twitter. That’s nothing short of shameful. The real joke is the FBI and the disgrace they’ve brought upon law enforcement.

Matt continued, “The FBI’s social media-focused task force, known as FTIF, created in the wake of the 2016 election, swelled to 80 agents and corresponded with Twitter to identify alleged foreign influence and election tampering of all kinds.

“Federal intelligence and law enforcement reach into Twitter included the Department of Homeland Security, which partnered with security contractors and think tanks to pressure Twitter to moderate the content.

“It’s no secret the government analyzes bulk data for all sorts of purposes, everything from tracking terror suspects to making economic forecasts.

“The #TwitterFiles show something new: agencies like the FBI and DHS regularly sending social media content to Twitter through multiple entry points, pre-flagged for moderation.”

The FBI responded by defending itself and saying that it has organized with private businesses in the past.

“The FBI regularly engages with private sector entities to provide information specific to identified foreign malign influence actors’ subversive, undeclared, covert, or criminal activities. Private sector entities independently make decisions about what, if any, action they take on their platforms and for their customers after the FBI has notified them,” it said.

Republican representatives were not impressed with the FBI’s explanation and are vowing to take action. They took to Twitter to explain their path forward.

“[The] FBI has a lot to answer for after the latest drop of Twitter Files 6,” Rep. Mat Gaetz said on Twitter.

@Jim_Jordan @RepMikeJohnson @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepDanBishop and I will be asking the questions. Clear your calendar,” he said.

“The FBI is designing what u see so they can control what you think & how u behave Even before #TwitterFiles6 we knew they: Altered evidence (Clinesmith) Lied under oath (McCabe) Targeted Trump (Strzok/Paige) Suppressed evidence (Thibault) The Bureau needs a serious reshaping,” he said.

Republican Kentucky Rep. James Comer spoke to Fox News host Sean Hannity about it.

“Anyone that cares about free speech should be outraged,” he said. “Whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, this has to stop.”

“And if FBI used Twitter to censor, you bet they also used Google and Facebook,” Republican Sen. Josh Hawley said.

Hawley has the right of it. Twitter is only the tip of the iceberg. Other big tech companies need to be held accountable as well.

Former Democrat Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has not made friends in the Democrat party. They have accused her of being a Russian asset, a political ally of Russian President Putin, a Syrian President Bashar Assad apologist, and a right-wing extremist flaunting her military career for votes.

It is safe to say her bombshell accusation this week of witnessing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s “blatant,” corruption will not sit well with the Democrats.

Gabbard appeared on Fox News Jesse Waters show and told him, “she witnessed the corruption firsthand when I was in Congress.” Later on, she doubled down on Twitter.

The former soldier’s comments come after Paul Pelosi’s investments. The stock trades are under intense scrutiny. Paul is the husband of Nancy Pelosi who oversees the regulation of the industries her husband is investing in. In the least, it appears insider information is used for trading.

The Speaker of the House’s salary is $223,500 a year, according to the U.S. House of Representative Press Gallery. Most of the couple’s wealth derives from Paul Pelosi’s ownership of venture capital firm Financial Leasing Services Inc.

The couple has millions of dollars worth of real estate investments, business partnerships, and stock holdings. They own a home and a vineyard in Napa that are reportedly worth between $5 million and $25 million.

The recent curious purchase of Apple stock is not the first time Paul Pelosi has made eye-brow-raising trades. There have been several times throughout the Speaker of House’s time in office this has occurred.

In 2021, according to the NY Post’s Kelly Sadler, “he purchased about $10 million in Microsoft shares through call options on March 19th when the stock was trading at $230.35”.

“Days later, Microsoft was awarded a contract by the United States Army valued at $22 billion and inked a deal to buy an artificial intelligence firm. Its stock has soared about 12% since his initial investment,” Sadler wrote.

Now, it could be Paul Pelosi is just good at what he does. He could be reading the market correctly. However, the timing of the investments amidst a looming recession is a virtual July 4th display of red flags indicating potential nefarious behavior.

If he is that good, the Administration should be asking for his help fixing the economy. Then again, they may be afraid his recent arrest for driving under the influence injury resulting in Napa County might look bad.
To be fair, he is not the only member of Congress who profits from the stock market. There are plenty of others that do it. When Gabbard was asked if she and her husband ever did so, she responded that they did not.

The Speaker of the House was asked if she and her husband profited from information gathered from her position. She answered “no”. Of course, that was after she shoved Mayra Flore’s little girl for a photo op. Wait, that was a different time.

Sarah Ransome, one of sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, claims in a newly released deposition that Epstein made sex tapes of his wealthy friends and associates. 

Not only that. She has seen the tapes and made copies. 

Ransome’s deposition is part of a lawsuit against Epstein’s partner Ghislaine Maxwell filed by Virginia Giuffre, another of Epstein’s victims. In it, she claims to have seen video footage of two of Epstein’s associates engaged in sexual acts with a female victim.

South African-born Ransome became involved with Epstein when she “was lured into Epstein’s web by one of his recruiters after coming to New York to become a model.”

Epstein enticed Ransome with his connections at a New York fashion college. She said, “he used my education as a way for me to trade my soul to the devil and become a sex slave to pay for my studies.”

Among the newly unsealed documents from the court case are emails written by Ransome explaining the existence of the tapes.

 “When my friend had sexual intercourse with (redacted) and (redacted), sex tapes were in fact filmed on each occasion by Jeffrey.

“Thank God she managed to get ahold of some footage of the filmed sex tapes which clearly identify the faces of (redacted) and (redacted) having sexual intercourse with her.

“I will be more than willing to swear under oath and testify in court over these sex tapes….it will break your heart into a million tiny pieces when you watch this footage.”

Ransome alleges that she has taken care to back up the footage. She says that she has it on several USB drives that are stored in several European locations. 

She was wise to only give one other person the information about the USB sticks’ locations ‘in case anything happens to me before the footage is released’, Ransome wrote in the emails.

According to The Daily Mail:

The theory about the tapes has been fueled by two of Epstein’s victims, Maria Farmer and Giuffre, who claim that they saw a room full of CCTV monitors at Epstein’s $65 million mansion in New York – including some showing cameras in the toilets.

When police raided Epstein’s mansion in 2019 they found dozens of tapes of girls in a twisted library the disgraced financier kept. 

Maxwell appeared to have admitted the tapes existed after being tricked by a journalist for the TV show 60 Minutes, telling him: ‘I don’t know where they are’.

Ransome said that Epstein was very clever in that never appeared in any of the videos. Others were not so clever and their faces are clearly shown in the videos to which she refers. 

Will we ever get the truth about Jeffrey Epstein’s friends and associates? Curiously, he and Maxwell were arrested and convicted of trafficking underage girls to ‘no one.’
