Officials have launched a sweeping new investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s remote New Mexico compound after new allegations emerged in files released by the Department of Justice that suggested murdered victims may have been buried on land surrounding the property.

The probe into Epstein’s Zorro Ranch could expose some of the darkest allegations yet tied to the disgraced financier’s criminal network.

For years, public attention focused on Epstein’s “Pedophile Island” in the Caribbean and his seven-story “House of Horrors” townhouse in New York.

Arch globalist Christine Lagarde is reportedly planning to leave her post at the helm of the European Central Bank before the end of her term next year in a bid to lock in liberal leadership long after French President Emmanuel Macron leaves office.

The anti-Trump former French finance minister has served as president of the European Central Bank since 2019. While her eight-year term is set to expire in October next year, the Financial Times, citing a “person familiar with her thinking”, reported that Lagarde is considering stepping down before then to allow French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to select her successor.

“There are certain aspects of the movie that don’t hold up too well,” Levine told The Hollywood Reporter. “We all know more, and I’m a lot wiser about transgender issues. There are some lines in that script and movie that are unfortunate. [It’s] just over time and having gotten aware and worked with trans folks, and understanding a bit more about the culture and the reality of the meaning of gender.”

The glossary is full of exciting, new progressive words and phrases.

Boston U. teaching hospital glossary says ‘biology’ doesn’t define sex

The primary teaching hospital of Boston University’s medical school recently updated its “Glossary for Culture Transformation” to include dozens of ideologically loaded terms, a medical advocacy group found.

For example, Boston Medical Center’s glossary includes entries for “assigned sex at birth,” “LGBTQIA+,” “fatphobia,” “anti-blackness,”

Republican-controlled Iowa, Texas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming are revising social studies curricula for K-12 public schools, promising voters accurate, non-leftist revisions.

Yet Iowa recently delivered new K-12 curricula that entrench rather than solve the nationwide crisis of fact-challenged, anti-American Marxists controlling publicly financed history instruction. Oklahoma is one public comment period away from a similar outcome. That public comment closes Wednesday.

There have been a number of videos posted with loud—and early—calls of submission. Eli Shepherd at RedState: A tweet making the rounds this week shows video of the Islamic call to prayer, the Adhan, echoing through New York City streets at dawn. Five in the morning. Amplified. Projected over neighborhoods that still carry the scars of September 11, 2001. That date is not ancient history. It is living memory…. The Adhan is not ambient background music. It is a declaration. The phrase “Allahu Akbar” means “God is greatest.” It is a theological claim. It is a call to submission. Practicing Muslims understand this. That is not controversial. That is simply fact. Now imagine living in lower Manhattan. Imagine hearing that broadcast before sunrise, rolling through concrete and glass, over a skyline where nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered in an attack carried out in the name of that same phrase. Context matters. Memory matters. And if that memory is ingrained in my mind, being in 6th grade and states away at the time, I can’t imagine where it sits for those in the city (Red State).

Independent journalists from Muckraker released footage Tuesday showing a New York City Board of Elections employee giving a registration form to someone claiming non-citizen status, noting the office accepts any submission without reporting issues. The worker acknowledged occasional non-citizen attempts but said his role is just to collect and forward forms, which later face database checks. Critics highlighted it as a vulnerability, while studies show non-citizen voting remains rare, fueling partisan divides over stricter proof-of-citizenship laws like the SAVE Act ahead of 2026 midterms.

Reading Matt Shumer’s viral essay about artificial intelligence was like stepping back in time to roughly six years ago, when the world started going insane over Covid-19.

It hits all the same beats as those viral essays from 2020, when we were told “something big was coming” and “life will never be the same.” It is written with the same insider tone, like the author is doing us a favor by telling us how horrible life is about to become. And the intent is clearly the same: to so unsettle a population that they will begin to feel powerless in the face of what is about to come.

Allowing the homeless to languish on the streets is bad policy. Allowing the homeless to languish on the streets in severe winter weather can be a deadly policy.

It took a tragic loss of life among New York City’s homeless during weeks of brutal cold for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to figure that out. But finally, the mayor has said he will reinstate homeless encampment sweeps.

During the recent spate of arctic temperatures, 18 people died on New York City streets. By the beginning of February, New York City’s death toll from cold exposure had already outpaced previous totals for nearly every year between 2010 and 2019.

New evidence has emerged to reveal that convicted child predator Jeffrey Epstein operated as a power broker for the World Economic Forum (WEF) to connect globalist elites and set up meetings.

Epstein publicly claimed to “hate” the WEF, but privately, he leveraged it, according to unsealed emails.

Newly released emails from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), along with a cache of Yahoo account messages obtained by Bloomberg, reveal that Epstein described himself as a “Davos concierge.”

The Vatican will not join President Donald Trump’s newly formed Board of Peace, its top diplomatic official said Tuesday, signaling reluctance from the Holy See to take part in the post-war initiative.

Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin said the Holy See “will not participate in the Board of Peace because of its particular nature, which is evidently not that of other States,” the Vatican’s official news outlet reported.

Okay, so this 250-page report has come out from the Election Oversight Group. The reason why I want to talk to you about this today is because of what happened with Pam Bondi yesterday. And I honestly, I need some new insight on this because I just don’t know where to go with this Pam Bondi thing.

I thought it was not good yesterday. I just don’t think she’s capable of fixing the errors that have just piled up and we have to fix the DOJ. It must be fixed because there’s too many important things that are riding on it. One thing that they are doing that is right is the Fulton County, Georgia situation with the election of 2020.

On Monday, CBS’s Stephen Colbert alleged that the network forbade him from airing an interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico over concerns about a potential FCC equal time rule violation. On Tuesday, CBS denied the allegation and said The Late Show was not prohibited from airing the interview but gave Colbert advice on how equal time could be fulfilled, but The Late Show balked at the suggestions and opted to put the interview on YouTube instead. Later on Tuesday, Colbert declared that CBS’s lawyers know “damn well” that they approved every word he said.

Of the projected $3.3 billion surplus, approximately $569 million would be deposited into the state’s Climate Commitment Account.

On Monday, the Washington State House Democrats voted to raid $4 billion from the law enforcement and firefighter pension plan to cover their deficit caused by out-of-control spending. Democrats in the Washington State House of Representatives have approved House Bill 2034, authorizing the transfer of approximately $2.5 billion, with projections of up to $4 billion over time, from the Law Enforcement Officers’ and Fire Fighters’ (LEOFF) Plan 1 retirement system. The legislation passed on a 55–39 vote, with every Republican voting against it.

When you elect a communist, you get a communist community.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani introduced his $127 billion preliminary budget plan on Tuesday.

That’s $11 billion higher than 2025. And cuts? Mamdani claimed he “identified another $1.7 billion in savings to reduce the budget gap.”

Did Mamdani explain those cuts? Of course not! Probably because he has no intention to cut any spending.

The Vatican has rejected an invitation to participate in President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace,” which was recently formed to rebuild war-ravaged Gaza.

The Holy See’s top diplomatic official confirmed the rejection on Tuesday.

The refusal to join the international effort signals hesitation from the Catholic Church’s leadership toward the post-war initiative.

Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin said the Holy See “will not participate in the Board of Peace because of its particular nature, which is evidently not that of other States,” according to the Vatican’s official news outlet.

After reports of Iranian missile fire in the most strategically important shipping lane in the Persian Gulf, Tehran announced that the Strait of Hormuz would be closed to all maritime traffic for several hours due to a “Smart Control” exercise conducted by the naval arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps…. At the same time, Russia, China and Iran deployed naval vessels to the Strait of Hormuz for joint maneuvers, Russian presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev said Tuesday. It was not immediately clear whether the Russian and Chinese ships had already joined the ongoing Iranian drill or were expected to participate in the coming days (Israel Hayom).

Hundreds of millions of gallons of human waste have leaked into the Potomac River after an underground sewage line burst in January.

A Washington D.C. utility said that on Jan. 19, a sewage line burst in the Potomac Interceptor along the Clara Barton Parkway at the 495 interchange and C and O Canal National Historical Park.

The D.C. water utility estimated in a Feb. 6 press release, based on monitoring collection data, that about 243 million gallons of wastewater had overflowed from the collapse site. Roughly 194 million gallons of that happened in the first five days before bypass pumping reduced the overflow.

Major news networks won’t cover what has become the largest human waste spill in U.S. history. What’s worse is that this mess likely won’t be cleaned for about nine months, Townhall reported.

JB Prikzker, a prominent Democrat governor viewed as a potential 2028 presidential contender, is facing renewed political attention after his cousin abruptly stepped down from a major corporate leadership role, citing regret over past ties to convicted child predator Jeffrey Epstein.

On Monday, Thomas J. Pritzker, 75, announced he would retire immediately as executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels Corporation.

He also confirmed that he would not seek reelection to the company’s board at its 2026 annual meeting.

In a company statement, Pritzker acknowledged that his past contact with Epstein and the pedophile’s child sex trafficking accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell reflected a serious lapse in judgment.

Goldman Sachs is planning to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) criteria for its board of directors when identifying prospective candidates, according to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

The major investment bank is planning the change in the aftermath of a September 2025 request from the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), a conservative nonprofit group, the WSJ reported on Monday, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter. Goldman’s board’s governance committee currently selects potential qualified candidates using four main criteria, one of which is a broad definition of diversity that includes things such as perspectives, background, professional and military experience, as well as “other demographics” — a category that lists various DEI considerations, according to the outlet.

Over the course of his career, Joseph McMullen has dealt with some of the most powerful agencies in the country: the FBI, Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But in early 2024 the San Diego–based civil rights attorney faced a problem of scale. He had three federal trials in three months—two involving deaths in jail, one involving American children detained at the border—and terabytes of documents. He turned to artificial intelligence to help him get through it all.

McMullen’s path to the courtroom has been unconventional. A former analyst at the consulting firm Bain & Company, he received a law degree at the University of Virginia and trained at the Trial Lawyers College (now called the Gerry Spence Method) in Wyoming in a program that specialized in the emotional craft of storytelling. The emphasis he places on both analytical rigor and narrative instinct has led him, unexpectedly, to artificial intelligence.

A week after a trans-identifying man went on a rampage in Western Canada, killing six children and two adults, another man who masqueraded as a woman allegedly took aim at innocents — this time at a local skating rink in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

Families, students, and supporters flocked to the Dennis M. Lynch Arena on Monday afternoon to watch a boys’ high school hockey game between the Blackstone Valley School and Coventry-Johnson co-op teams.
