Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has publicly released a new trove of explosive documents revealing a deliberate and coordinated plot by senior Obama administration officials to sabotage President Donald Trump even before he took office.
Gabbard released a devastating thread on X that exposes the Obama regime’s orchestrated weaponization of the Intelligence Community (IC) in 2016 to carry out a political coup against President Donald Trump.
According to Gabbard, the intelligence apparatus under then-President Barack Obama deliberately reversed its own consensus that Russia lacked the intent or ability to hack U.S. elections—just weeks after Donald Trump’s historic defeat of Hillary Clinton.
Instead of delivering the truth to the American people, Obama’s top brass—FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and DNI James Clapper—met at the White House on December 9, 2016, and plotted a complete rewrite of the intelligence assessment. Their goal: manufacture a narrative that Russia had “interfered” in the election to help Trump.
Gabbard reveals that a key finding from December 8, 2016, concluding Russia had not impacted the election, was abruptly pulled from the President’s Daily Brief following “new guidance.” That assessment was never published.
And that’s not all.
These intelligence officials then enlisted their loyal allies in the mainstream media, leaking cherry-picked, politicized assessments to outlets like the Washington Post—feeding the baseless hysteria that Trump had somehow colluded with Russia.
By January 6, 2017—just days before Trump’s inauguration—Clapper presented the phony intelligence assessment, marking the launch of what would become a multi-year deep state coup to sabotage the Trump presidency. According to whistleblower emails revealed in Gabbard’s thread, the bogus Steele Dossier—a Clinton-funded political hit job—was used as a source to justify this treacherous IC assessment.
“New evidence has emerged of the most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history. Per President Donald Trump’s directive, I have declassified a @HouseIntel oversight majority staff report that exposes how the Obama Administration manufactured the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false, promoting the LIE that Vladimir Putin and the Russian government helped President Trump win the 2016 election,” Gabbard wrote on X.
“In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people, working with their partners in the media to promote the lie, in order to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump, essentially enacting a years-long coup against him.”
Here are the top Obama-Russia Hoax lies debunked by today’s release:
Investigative reporter Matt Taibbi joined Megyn Kelly to discuss the bombshell details coming from the DOJ regarding the coordinated efforts to push the Trump-Russia collusion narrative despite knowing it was a hoax. Taibbi hinted that he is working on an additional story that suggests the Biden administration spied on the Trump campaign during the 2024 election.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a December 2016 presidential briefing revealing Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax.
Last week, CIA Director John Ratcliffe announced that a new CIA report revealed former FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and DNI James Clapper worked together to purposely corrupt the Trump-Russia investigation in 2016 before Trump entered office.
The three corrupt Obama officials even included the Steele Dossier in their quest to “screw Trump” knowing at the time that the Steele Dossier was complete rubbish.
On Friday, it was revealed that Barack Obama knew it was a hoax and he was involved in manufacturing and politicizing the intelligence to create the Trump-Russia collusion canard.
During the interview, Kelly asked Taibbi, “Anyway, you’re reporting that DOJ is also focusing on conspiracy charges, looking at conduct from ’16 through 2024, and also at evidence that members of Trump’s campaign may have been spied on in 2024. So can you please elaborate on either of those points?”
Taibbi responded, “I can’t say a whole lot, Megan, other than what I wrote, but I’ve heard a couple of different stories.”
“I have one source,” he continued, “who has a very concrete story about this, but I can’t go forward with it yet.”
“But what I can say is that there’s a statute of limitations issue with some of these 2016 behaviors that would be solved if they could prove a continuing pattern of conduct.”
“There were various investigations that took place during the Biden era, some of which the public knows about, some of which they don’t know about. Those, I think, would become tied to a conspiracy charge that would relate to these 2016 behaviors.”
Watch:
Biden administration spied on Trump’s 2024 campaign also?
Matt Taibi appears to admit he is working on this story.

On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit reported on the Standard Charter Bank sanctions evasion case that is now in the US Second Circuit. Investigators foundat least $9.6 billion of illegal payments by the bank to Iranian and Hezbollah entities.
The case implicates NYAG Letitia James and the Federal Reserve for ignoring billions of these illicit payments and ignoring Treasury sanctions designations. Maximum Pressure is not being enforced because of the failures of the Fed and the NYAG.
According to our sources, at least $9.6 billion of specifically identified illicit payments were made by Standard Charter Bank (SCB) from its NYC branch to OFAC and known terrorist names. The $9.6 billion was found in internal trade reports turned over by bank whistleblowers and represents the first batch from SCB Dubai office that cleared through SCB NYC. There are estimated over $100 billion more of illegal payments that are more recent and from SCB China where it has 53 mainland branches that facilitate dollar trade payments for oil and war-making materials.
On Tuesday we asked our readers to call the Southern District of New York and demand that this case be extended. The case was going to expire at midnight last night.
Thank you, The Gateway Pundit readers!
Thanks to all of you, this morning, we were informed that this incredibly important alleged fraud case was extended!
As you may recall from our report on Tuesday, these suspect payments were hidden by SCB from required disclosure in its ongoing Deferred Prosecution Agreement now under the jurisdiction of DCUSA Pirro and SDNY Clayton where both were briefed on SCB after their appointments. There are career blockers at each jurisdiction.
Involvement by the NYAG
In early 2024, NYAG was briefed by terrorist financing experts and the whistleblowers in detail on the illicit payments yet did nothing about it other than reapprove SCB annual license.
NYAG was briefed in two meetings in February and March 2024 about the $9,6 billion of illegal payments and did nothing but approve the annual renewal of SCB State banking license. One of meetings was recorded and clearly shows that NYAG officials recognized the payments were not previously known and not in prior SCB sanctions settlements. Five NYAG senior staff including Letitia James Deputy Scott Spiegleman were in all meetings. In late 2024, Spiegleman went to work for IBM which has a large tech contract running the SWIFT platform. IBM Promontory advised SCB to hide currency trade data.
Involvement by the Federal Reserve
The Fed, along with its wire operations platform SWIFT, failed to block the SCB payments to sanctioned names – ignoring the Treasury OFAC and SDGT lists. The COO of SWIFT, Cheri McGuire had been at SCB where she was directly involved in SCB hiding its currency trades. Cheri McGuire was approved by the Fed and is now COO of SWIFT – designated under Dodd-Frank as a Systematically Important Financial Market Utility quasi-regulated by the Fed. The Eastern District of Virginia USA is also considering investigation because SWIFT its US headquarters in VA.
With all oil trade required to be in $USD, China is using Standard Chartered Bank (“SCB”) and it’s NYC branch to buy Iranian oil in $USD. Maximum Pressure is being thwarted by a lack of enforcement by the Fed and the SWIFT system – each have ignored the Treasury sanction designations.
The SCB evasion case is a rare situation where inside whistleblowers turned over 40,000 emails that contained the currency trade records for several years. SCB attempted to hide 100% of their currency trades. The internal whistleblowers were fired and filed suit in a case now on appeal in the US Second Circuit. Obama and Biden career DOJ officials (John-David Barnea in SDNY, Gregg Maisell in DCUSA, and Matthew Komar FBI) have been blocking action on this case since 2024 because it was likely that news of $9.6 billion in specific evasion payments made by a NYC bank branch to known sanctioned terrorist and Iran linked entities would be embarrassing to a Biden campaign. Enforcing the sanctions laws on the currently known sanctions evasion payments in this case will yield the US more than $10 billion in settlements, while full investigation of the SCB China oil trade payments is likely to be a much higher amount of proceeds to the US. The exact same evidence of $9.6 billion of SCB illicit payments is the subject of a UK Royals Court investor suit that is going to trial.
We were informed this morning that thanks to The Gateway Pundit, the case was extended! Thank you all for making this happen!

While everyone’s distracted by Bitcoin hitting a new high…
President Trump just helped unleash something FAR more explosive.
It’s not an “altcoin,” NFT, or a crypto mining stock.
It’s something entirely different — I call it a “Bitcoin Backdoor” trade that could TRIPLE Bitcoin’s gains… without touching Bitcoin at all.
Here’s what most people don’t know:
✓ Trump’s the first “crypto president…”
✓ Trump launched the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve — sending Bitcoin’s price soaring in hours…
✓ A $1 trillion investment bank predicts Bitcoin will hit $500,000 during Trump’s term…
That’s a potential 5X return over the next few years.
Ishiba closed the US trade deal, and is expected to resign next month.
Another liberal head of government bites the dust?
Japanese Liberal Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba had reportedly decided to step down, and would announce his resignation by the end of August.
The move by Ishiba would have comes after his ruling coalition’s poor performance in the upper-house elections, where it lost its majority — losing 19 seats in the vote.
“The reports come after Ishiba and U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a trade deal that lowers tariffs on imports of Japanese autos and spares Tokyo punishing new levies on other goods.”
After Sunday’s election debacle, Ishiba vowed to stay in office to finish negotiating the US tariff agreement, and face mounting economic issues.
“’I can’t say until I scrutinize the outcome of the agreement’, Ishiba told reporters on Wednesday when asked whether the tariff deal with Washington would influence his decision on whether to stay on.”
BREAKING: ISHIBA DENIES REPORTS THAT HE WILL RESIGN
However, a few hours after this report, the PM came public to deny that he had any such intentions.
So, Reuters came up with a totally different article:
“Asked about media reports that he had expressed his intention to step down as early as this month, the 68-year-old leader Ishiba told reporters at party headquarters on Wednesday: “I have never made such a statement…The facts reported in the media are completely unfounded.”
[…] His departure less than a year after taking office would trigger a succession battle within the ruling Liberal Democratic party as it contends with challenges from new political parties, particularly on the right, that are chipping away at its support.
Among them is the ‘Japanese First’ Sanseito far-right group which surged in Sunday’s vote, growing its representation in the 248-seat upper house to 14 from one. The party has attracted voters with pledges to curb immigration, slash taxes, and provide financial relief to households squeezed by rising prices.”

In July 2025, Dan Fleuette granted The Gateway Pundit an exclusive interview at the stylish Butterworth’s restaurant on Capitol Hill to discuss his rare and timeless portrait book, Rebels, Rogues, and Outlaws: A Pictorial History of WarRoom. Fleuette graciously gifted The Gateway Pundit a copy of his book.
After examining all 464 pages of Fleuette’s technically flawless photographic compositions, he dove into a philosophical discussion on the rightward movement of today’s political pendulum.
Fleuette called for a complete and urgent renewal of our cultural imperative in order to rescue American art.
“In terms of bigger ideas about art on the right, this is something I’m deeply passionate about,” Dan Fleuette told The Gateway Pundit. “The gatekeepers of the art world–in art galleries, Hollywood, the music industry, and in publishing–all completely ostracize artists on the right.”
“And so, you’re gonna call yourself an artist, and then gatekeep the art world from anyone who doesn’t think like you? Come on. The art you see nowadays isn’t just censored. It’s bland, boring, and tiresome. You know how they talk about fatigue?” Fleuette said. “Well, I’ve got art fatigue. I just can’t stand it anymore.”
Pouring fine tea from a large, steaming pot of his favorite English Breakfast, Fleuette doctored it by mixing at least ten whole sugar cubes and as much milk as possible into the pot.
“I tune it all out, because there is no art anymore,” Fleuette said. “The art community nowadays is completely broken. It’s spoiled rotten.”
“Just look at any movement that comes out of Hollywood. It’s all ideological–for photographers, gallery owners, musicians, performing artists, and writers–it’s all for nothing, because you can no longer be an individual. You have to be one of the mob, which is the complete opposite of an artist.”
“So for me, no self-respecting artist can call themselves part of the left. If you’re of the left, you can’t actually be an artist, because you’re not allowed to say anything new, or rich, or true to yourself, or true to the greater world. You’re stuck in an ideological straightjacket.”
“So my portrait book is my response to that pathetic idea,” Fleuette said.
Fleuette identified the new American left as the most severe force in deadening both the souls of artists, and the vitality of the arts in recent decades. Still, Fleuette strongly holds that the arts, by definition, must transcend politics. For that reason, he has always regarded Rebels, Rogues, and Outlaws as an exercise in art for art’s sake.
“The point of my book isn’t that my subjects are MAGA, or that they hold any particular point of view. The fact is, every one of them is a rebel in their own right. That spirit runs through my book: the fight, the defiance, the willingness to face every consequence and still say, ‘You know what? Fuck you. I’m doing it anyway.’”
“My book is my own response to that courage. I want to celebrate that spirit, that bravery,” Fleuette said.
“For me, it’s not about making so-called right-wing art. It’s just about making good art.”

“Nowadays, you can’t really divorce art from politics. All art is inherently political these days, because you’ll be judged on your adherence to the orthodoxy, or not,” Fleuette said.
“You can’t simply remove yourself from your opinions, your ideology, or the way you look at the world. As an artist, your job is to convey the world as you see it. And being true to yourself is the most important thing.”
“It’s not about toeing the line or saying the ‘right’ thing. That’s bullshit.”
“The great artists that have provoked change, or a new way of looking at the world, have always been outsiders at the start. And they’ve been true to themselves. Artists have traditionally been anti-establishment. Not all great artists were successful in their lifetimes, but in retrospect, we can see how they changed art, or changed conversations about art, about society, about life.”
“I’m not bold enough to think my book will spark that kind of conversation, but this is my contribution to that spirit of being an individual,” Fleuette said.
In June, 2025, The Gateway Pundit reported that a new study in the British Journal of Social Psychology conclusively demonstrated that the political right “diverges widely” in thought, whereas the political left “coalesces around a very narrow set of opinion.”
The British Journal of Social Psychology published five heatmap charts objectively confirming, based on the network modeling data of surveyed subjects, that left-wing ideology remains heavily flatlined, in spite of all recent change in the political arena.
“The left have such a perverted way of understanding the right. Hell, my own brother won’t talk to me anymore because Trump is in the White House. It makes no sense,” Fleuette said.
“Starting in about 2012, I noticed a hesitancy among some people we worked with over the years to engage. Now, many of them are openly hostile. I’ve even had craftsmen walk off set in the middle of a shoot because they couldn’t handle who they’re working with. It’s astounding.”
“If you’re not pushing a particular agenda, you will not get funding. So who are we kidding here? The problem is when gatekeepers enforce a certain bigger political ideology. When they subvert and oppress artists, people won’t stand for it.”
“So now is the time for a shift in the art world. People are sick of the garbage literature and bullshit Hollywood movies. Book sales are down. Movie sales are down. No one can stand watching this stuff anymore. It’s all trash. And people are tuning out in droves.”
“But it doesn’t have to be that way. The industry is facilitating its own demise by churning out garbage. And a lot of people can’t even fully articulate why they’re done with it. They just know it’s bullshit. So they tune out. They walk away. They roll their eyes and say, ‘I’m not watching this stupid shit.’”
“And in the end, you can only cancel so many people before there’s no one left. At some point soon, a critical mass of people will say, ‘Fuck you. I’m doing my own thing,” Fleuette said.
Concerning his personal pursuits, Fleuette is now actively developing another book. Additionally, Fleuette is collaborating with numerous well-known artists, at home and abroad.
“I am writing another book. It’s not exactly a portrait book, but it will have portrait elements. It’s a series of short stories–some made up, and others inspired by real events. It’s a fantastical memoir with photography, images, and text–but very linear,” Fleuette said.
“And fortunately, a number of artists on the right are now starting to gain traction, as they find today’s environment to be slightly less chilling. More people are opening up to the idea that artists on the right have talent and passion.”
“It’s great to see, and I want to be at the forefront of that. I am actively collaborating with a number of artists, including Sean Danconia in Palm Beach, and the infamous Matthew Glamorre–an icon in the UK club scene.”
“And it won’t end there. My goal is to help great artists gain recognition, especially when they run counter to the prevailing dominant culture.”
“I firmly believe that President Trump’s elimination of DEI orthodoxy, along with Ambassador Richard Grenell’s leadership at the Kennedy Center, will help usher in a major cultural change.”
“I cannot wait to see it,” Fleuette said. “What a time to be alive.”
The Russian Foreign Ministry accepted the credentials of Taliban-appointed ambassador Mawlawi Gul Hassan, while a white flag bearing the Shahada, the Islamic declaration of faith, was raised over the Afghan embassy in Moscow.
The Shahada, written in Arabic, reads: “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” The Taliban use this flag to represent their regime, replacing the former black-red-green tricolor of the Afghan Republic. With its white background symbolizing purity and the Shahada conveying religious legitimacy, the flag distinguishes itself from the black flags used by ISIS, though both invoke the same text.
Apart from “Queers for Palestine,” this flag may be one of the most ironic in modern geopolitics. A white flag typically signifies peace, surrender, or neutrality, yet here it represents a regime defined by war, repression, and authoritarian rule. The Taliban have weaponized religion, using it to justify policies such as banning girls from school, persecuting minorities, and enforcing brutal punishments.
The group is known for its medieval practices, including public floggings for moral offenses, amputations for theft, stoning for adultery, public executions for murder, beatings for perceived misconduct, and the torture or enforced disappearance of former government officials and security personnel.
Earlier this year, Russia lifted the Taliban’s terrorist designation. Despite this recognition, the Taliban remains designated as a terrorist organization in countries including Tajikistan, Turkey, and Canada. However, Russia’s recognition is a step toward formalizing the anti-American axis of evil.
Russian officials cited goals of strengthening regional security and fostering cooperation in trade, energy, agriculture, and infrastructure. Moscow has announced plans to use Afghanistan as a transit hub for gas to Southeast Asia and was the first country to open a business representative office in Kabul after the 2021 Taliban takeover.
Russia views the Taliban as a potential counterterrorism partner, particularly against the Islamic State-Khorasan, which carried out the deadly Moscow concert hall attack in March 2024 that killed 143 people. Moscow sees engagement as necessary given the Taliban’s territorial control. The recognition aligns with Russia’s broader strategy to counter Western influence, build alternative political structures outside the Western-led global order, and restore its image as an influential global power following recent setbacks in the Middle East.
China welcomed Russia’s recognition, with foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stating that “Afghanistan should not be excluded from the international community.” China has been building relations with the Taliban since before the US withdrawal, hosting peace negotiations in 2019 and making major investments, including a 25-year oil extraction contract signed by China National Petroleum Company in 2023.
China appointed Zhao Sheng as its ambassador to Afghanistan in September 2023, becoming the first country to name a full ambassador to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan since the group seized power in 2021. On January 30, 2024, China also became the first country to formally accept the credentials of a Taliban ambassador when President Xi Jinping received Ambassador Mawlawi Asadullah (also known as Bilal Karimi) at a ceremony in Beijing’s Great Hall of the People.
Many regional countries, including China, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Qatar, and the UAE, kept their embassies open during the Taliban’s takeover on August 15, 2021. In the immediate aftermath, only the Russian and Chinese embassies were fully operational, guarded by Taliban fighters. Russia is one of the few countries that has maintained continuous embassy operations in Kabul, and China is among a handful that have sustained diplomatic presence since the Taliban’s return.
Experts suggest China may take the next step and officially recognize the Taliban government at the upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in August 2025.
The primary obstacle to international recognition remains the Taliban’s systematic violation of women’s rights, creating what experts call “gender apartheid.” Afghanistan is now the only country where girls are banned from education beyond sixth grade. The Taliban has issued at least 70 decrees targeting women’s autonomy, including bans on most professions, traveling without male guardians, and accessing parks, gyms, and universities. During the Taliban’s previous rule (1996-2001), only Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates provided recognition due to the group’s denial of international law and human rights violations.
A former Taliban official acknowledged that “Russia and China can’t financially support us the way the Americans did,” noting that “only America and its allies can bring real relief” to Afghanistan. The Taliban remains unable to access billions of dollars in Afghan government funds frozen in US institutions.
Much speculation has surrounded China and Russia’s interest in Afghanistan’s resource wealth, but the potential benefits have been vastly overstated. While the country’s mineral reserves are estimated to be worth up to $3 trillion, including approximately $1.4 trillion in rare earth elements, these resources remain underground and untapped. Extracting them would require billions in investment and years of development to establish mines, processing facilities, and transport infrastructure. So far, not even China has been willing to commit the capital. Any nation that does invest heavily would face long-term exposure to financial risk and potential extortion by the Taliban.
Russia’s recognition of the Taliban could prompt other countries to follow suit, especially if China also grants recognition. Together, Moscow and Beijing might influence nations already within their geopolitical orbit, ranging from North Korea and Iran to members of the CSTO, SCO, and BRICS. However, such recognition remains largely symbolic. Afghanistan is already closely aligned with both Russia and China, so formal recognition changes little in practical terms. Given that most of the international community remains opposed to legitimizing the Taliban regime, UN recognition and voting rights remain a distant prospect. As a result, no significant increase in diplomatic support from Russia or China is likely to follow.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard released her second batch of previously undisclosed documents on Wednesday morning that include more proof that Barack Obama directly gave the order to publish Russia Collusion hoax knowing there was no proof to back it up.
Obama was behind the coup against President-elect and then President Trump that sunk the US government into turmoil for at least three years.

Today’s document release follows Friday’s document dump by ODNI Tulsi Gabbard of a declassified December 2016 presidential briefing revealing Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax.
Barack Obama knew it was a hoax and he was involved in manufacturing and politicizing the intelligence to create the Trump-Russia collusion canard.
Page three of this latest document drop show that then President Obama ordered the release of documents knowing there was no evidence to back them up.
Barack Obama set up President-elect Trump.
Barack Obama didn’t just know about the Russia hoax – he directed it.
These documents refute what Barack Obama’s team released yesterday to the American public.
This comes from Nick Sorter and Breaking 4 News.
BREAKING: DNI Tulsi Gabbard just released reports PROVING that Obama DIRECTLY gave the order to publish the Russia Collusion Hoax, knowing there was no proof that Putin backed Trump
Holy CRAP.
Tulsi just proved Obama lied AGAIN in his statement yesterday.
As the Summer winds down administrators and teachers prepare for the onslaught of returning students to America’s public schools. Although parents used to only worry about school supplies and new clothes as preparation for the new school year, now, unfortunately, unwanted school mental health intervention needs to be added to that list.
The behavioral health industry is doing everything it can to insert itself into your child’s life and the mental health experts make no bones about it when it reports that “schools are the natural place to do it,” inferring that receiving mental health care in school is just like vision and hearing screening.
The push to give mental health screenings and treatment in schools is in response to U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy describing the mental health of America’s children as “the defining public health crisis of our time.” This declaration came after the 2021 Surgeon General’s pronouncement that there was a “youth mental health emergency.” And the Academy of Pediatrics and other health organizations declared a “national emergency” in child and adolescent mental health. Wow. Sounds ominous. But is it?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of children with mental health issues is at historic highs where four in ten high school students reported feeling persistent sadness or hopelessness and two in ten considered suicide. And, in fact, suicide is the second leading cause of death among children ages 10-24. The fact is, the data reveal that between 2013 and 2023, mental health among America’s youth got worse. But the mental health drug “treatments” among America’s youth also increased.
Despite hundreds of billions of dollars pouring into state and federal mental health programs, America’s children are reportedly suffering from a mental health crisis. And, in light of the failure of the behavioral health community to stem the ever-increasing number of mentally ill children, that same industry continues to push for direct access to America’s children through the public education system.
Well, as it stands now, one-third of the nation’s K-12 public schools not only provide mental health screening for students but many offer in-person treatment or referral for mental health care. According to a study conducted by the Rand Corporation, more than one thousand school principals reported that more than 30 percent of them required school mental health screening and 70 percent reported that the school offered in-person treatment.
This data is of great interest because as of the date of this article, there is no federal law requiring mental health in-school screening. While Medicaid requires mental health screening for Medicaid-eligible children, there is no universal mandatory screening for students in public schools.
According to published data, only the state of New Jersey has passed legislation that requires public schools to provide annual depression screenings for all students grades 7-12. Many states are considering mandatory mental health screenings in school but have yet to pass the required legislation.
Naturally, if only one state has passed legislation that mandates mental health screening, where did one-third of the nation’s K-12 schools get authorization to provide the reported mental health screenings? Have parents been notified that their children, many in kindergarten as young as five or six, are being subjected to mental health screenings? And, if so, are parents also told which screenings are being utilized, whether the results of those screenings are being shared and with whom?
The data collected from the screening is extremely sensitive, especially considering any mental health referrals that may be made as a result of the screening outcomes. Remember one of the top psychiatrists in the world, Dr. Allen Francis, recently admitted that child diagnosing should be done “with a pencil.” Of course, the psychiatrist is inferring that children often grow out of a diagnosis and should not be labeled for life. Sound thinking.
And while it is unclear whether parents are notified of the mental health screenings that are taking place in schools, it also is unclear whether parents are given all the necessary information to make informed decisions…that informed consent thing.
For example, despite schools providing numerous informational pamphlets about how and where to get mental health care, no pamphlets are provided containing information about mental health diagnosing, explaining that mental disorders are not based in science and that there is no abnormality in the brain that is any psychiatric diagnosis. Furthermore, school mental health professionals do not provide parents with informational pamphlets that explain that neither the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) nor the pharmaceutical companies have any idea how psychiatric drugs “work” as “treatment” for any alleged mental disorder diagnosis.
Considering that the number of children being diagnosed with a mental disorder and drugged as a form of “treatment” continues to increase every year, perhaps parents may want to opt their children out of the mental health screening.
After all, the data show that despite yearly increases in mental health services, no one appears to be getting better and, in fact, America’s children are in a mental health “crisis.” Maybe it’s time to learn more about the validity of the mental health services that the behavioral health industry is offering and so badly wants to be incorporated into the nation’s schools. Pay attention. It’s a real education.

On Tuesday, worthless Senator Thom Tillis (RINO-NC) announced that he will not vote to confirm highly competent attorney Paul Ingrassia to the Office of Special Counsel.
The vote is scheduled for Thursday.
Paul Ingrassia Official Portrait (DHS Photo by Tia Dufour)
Tillis announced he was not running for reelection in 2026 last month. He didn’t have a chance of winning anyway. He is a typical Republican RINO who hates his voter base.
Now, Tillis says he will not confirm brilliant attorney Paul Ingrassia to the Office of Special Counsel.
Via Frank Thorp V from NBC news.
Ingrassia’s confirmation hearing before the Homeland Security Cmte is on Thurs, but TILLIS got a briefing on his nomination already and came away as a NO.
“It’s pretty apparent to me he’s not ready for prime time, but he’s young, he’s got plenty of time to learn,” Tillis said.
More from Frank Thorp on Tillis’s latest disgusting move: “Ingrassia’s confirmation hearing before the Homeland Security Cmte is on Thurs, but TILLIS got a briefing on his nomination already and came away as a NO. “It’s pretty apparent to me he’s not ready for prime time, but he’s young, he’s got plenty of time to learn,” Tillis said.”
Senator James “open borders” Lankford is vacillating.
Sen LANKFORD says Ingrassia’s previous comments are sure to be a focus of his confirmation hearing on Thursday.
The Gateway Pundit announced in May that one of our former writers has been nominated to head the United States Office of the Special Counsel!
According to their website, the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) is an investigative and prosecutorial office that works to end government and political corruption, and to protect government employees and whistleblowers.
Paul Ingrassia left the Gateway Pundit earlier this year to serve in the Trump administration as the White House Liaison to the Department of Justice and Homeland Security.
Ingrassia, a gifted writer who advocated for J’6ers and pushed for their release the night after President Trump pardoned them, caught the President’s attention with his well-researched and attention-grabbing articles.
Ingrassia is also a free speech absolutist. Ingrassia will face a Senate Hearing led by Rand Paul on Thursday.
But now it looks like his confirmation is in jeopardy thanks to RINOs.
