Bill Clinton Releases Shocking Opening Statement Ahead of Epstein Deposition, Rages Against Oversight Committee For Targeting Hillary

Former President Bill Clinton on Friday released his opening statement ahead of his testimony on deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Bill Clinton is testifying before the House Oversight Committee on his connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

On Friday morning, House Oversight Chairman James Comer said that Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s jet dubbed ‘Lolita Express’ 27 times. Comer also said that Epstein visited the Clinton White House 17 times.

Clinton was all over the Epstein files. Numerous photos shows Bill Clinton with alleged Epstein sex-trafficking victims.

Despite the overwhelming evidence of Clinton’s connections to Epstein, the former president remained defiant in his opening statement and insisted he did nothing wrong.

“First, I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing,” Clinton said.

“No matter how many photos you show me, I have two things that at the end of the day matter more than your interpretation of those 20-year-old photos. I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn’t see,” Clinton said.

“I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn’t do,” he added. “I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong.”

“As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing — I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals,” Clinton added.

Bill Clinton also defended his wife Hillary.

“I have to get personal. You made Hillary come in. She had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Nothing. She has no memory of even meeting him,” he said.

Hillary Clinton was reportedly screaming and unhinged during her testimony on Epstein on Thursday.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has been clear that pushing DEI will not be tolerated in the military or among groups hoping to maintain relationships with the Pentagon. Now, Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts, will alter several policies to maintain its relationship.

On February 3rd, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced that Scouting America was working with the Department of War on reforms to end DEI and woke gender ideology.

Parnell wrote, “From Day One at the War Department, we have made it very clear: No more DEI at DoW. Zero tolerance.”

“As a result, over the past several months, the Department of War has been reviewing its relationship with Scouting America—formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America. A great organization, that has — in many ways — lost its way.”

“On January 21st, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14173: “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity,” terminating radical DEl preferencing in federal contracting. All of our affiliations must meet this standard.

But, for more than a decade now, Scouting America’s leadership has made decisions that run counter to the values of this administration and this Department of War, including an embrace of DEl and other social justice, gender-fluid ideological stances. This is unacceptable.”

“Our review of the DoW’s financial assistance and partnership with Scouting America, including its quadrennial National Jamboree celebration, has been rigorous and ongoing. Scouting America remains far from perfect, but they have firmly committed to a return to core principles. Back to God and country—immediately!”

“Scouting America and the Department of War are near a final agreement where we believe we can continue our partnership with Scouting America, as long as the organization rapidly implements the common-sense, core value reforms. They are on the clock, and we are watching.”

On Friday, Secretary of War Hegseth announced that Scouting America will alter several policies, including a requirement that members use “biological sex at birth and not gender identity.”

Hegseth shared on X, “For more than a century, Boy Scouts of America prepared over 130 million American boys to make moral and ethical choices, not just during their formative years, but for a lifetime as they grew into men. The first few words of the Scout oath exemplify this, quote, ‘On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country.’”

“The Boy Scouts are embedded in our communities. They’re sponsored by community organizations, service clubs, and churches. Many Boy Scouts have gone on to senior leadership positions in their communities and business in our nation’s military and has elected representatives in local, state, and national office.”

“Six Boy Scouts have been elected President of the United States. Eleven of the twelve men to walk on the moon? Boy Scouts. Boy Scout training focused on responsible citizenship, character and leadership development, patriotism, personal fitness, self-reliance, faith, and a wide range of outdoor skills. It was a great program, and this department had a close relationship with the Scouts almost since its inception, as many troops meet on military bases.”

“After 2012, however, the Boy Scouts lost their way, and a once great organization became gravely wounded. Diversity, equity, and inclusion, DEI, crept in. The name was changed to Scouting America. Girls were accepted. The focus on God as the ruler of the universe was watered down to include openness to humanism and Earth-centered pagan religions. Scouting became an organization that no longer supported and celebrated boys.”

“They even welcomed the destructive myth of gender fluidity and transgenderism to infiltrate their membership. Along the way, standards were lowered and merit destroyed in favor of an insidious, radical, woke ideology that is anti- America and anti-American.”

“The result? Membership cratered. Americans didn’t want this. In 1970, 10 million boys participated in Boy Scouts. Currently, less than 1 million boys and girls participate. Further, many of these community organizations that once supported Scout troops withdrew their support. And Scouting America, the parent organization, filed for bankruptcy protection.”

“The changes Scouting America made since 2012 have also jeopardized the relationship with this department. And I was very seriously considering ending our support of scouting altogether. We have a Department to protect, after all. Beyond that, the policies Scouting America have in place violate President Trump’s executive order, 14173, entitled ‘Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-based Opportunities.’ But before making this big change, I decided to meet with the current scouting leadership to convey our deep concerns.”

“Based on that face-to-face conversation and subsequent conversations, Scouting America agreed to make several key reforms. Let me briefly highlight a few of them.”

“First, Scouting America has agreed to comply immediately with the provisions of Executive Order 14173. This includes reviewing and replacing politicized, divisive, and discriminatory language throughout the organization, programs, and all publications. No more DEI, zero.”

“Second, the quote, ‘Citizen in Society’ merit badge that encouraged scouts to explore diversity, equity, inclusion, and identity, they always mask it under a name that sounds great, but it’s doing something else, and then ask those scouts to engage in activism on those topics. That badge has been discontinued.”

“Third, Scouting America Scouting will modify its policy to make clear that membership will be based solely on biological sex at birth and not gender identity. That means that the application, any application, will have only two sex designations, male and female, and the application must match the applicant’s birth certificate. Scouting will also make clear that biological boys and girls will not be allowed to occupy or share intimate spaces together, toilets, showers, tents, anywhere like that.”

“Fourth, Scouting America will honor those who serve by waiving the registration fees for children of active duty, guard, and reserve families. Should have happened a long time ago.”

“Fifth, in partnership with the War Department, Scouting America will introduce a new military service merit badge. These and other changes that Scouting America’s leadership committed to, in that room right over there, will hopefully result in a rededication to the foundational ideals that have defined scouting for generations. Duty to God and country, leadership, character, and service. However, as President Reagan famously said, ‘trust but verify.’”

“This agreement is new, and the Department’s support for Scouting America is contingent on them making substantial progress toward reaching these and many other positive changes in the next six months. At that time, we’ll vigorously review progress and decide whether or not to continue our support.”

“The onus is squarely on Scouting America to deliver. If we’re unsatisfied with Scouting America’s progress toward and commitment to the agreed upon reforms, we will find them in violation of the President’s Executive Order and cease our support. We hope that doesn’t happen, but it could.”

“Ideally, I believe the Boy Scouts should go back to being the Boy Scouts, as originally founded, a group that develops boys into men, maybe someday. There are also additional youth and boys organizations, groups like Trail Life USA and Awana Clubs, that are already compliant with President Trump’s Executive Order that the department may eventually support as well.”

“But we’re watching and we’re watching closely. We look forward to providing you with updates after our six-month review, and wish the best to Scouting America.”

Minnesota Fraud Investigation: Only Six of 500 Autism Centers Applied for License

Man speaking in front of a bookshelf with various items, including a football and framed pictures, during a video conference.

Most of the fraud uncovered in Minnesota has taken place since Tim Walz became governor. Democrats wanted him to be our vice president.

Billions of dollars of fraud occurred under Tim Walz’s watch, and now it turns out that autism centers did not even require licensing and that state officials were not allowed to conduct unannounced inspections.

The question now is whether Tim and other Minnesota officials were simply ignorant of what was happening, or whether they actively supported, enabled, or even participated in this fraud of epic proportions.

Money tied to Minnesota’s Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention program surged from about $1.7 million in Medicaid reimbursements in 2017 to nearly $229 million in 2024 through late November, with cumulative spending approaching $700 million. That amounts to roughly a 300-fold increase in less than a decade, or about a 30,000 percent rise. While officials cite expanded autism diagnoses and broader access to services, the scale and speed of the increase have raised serious concerns.

Critics argue that a significant portion of this explosion in spending reflects fraud and lax oversight, noting that the growth occurred under Democratic governors. They contend that unchecked fraud drives long-term spending obligations higher, ultimately pressuring the state to raise taxes.

The figures come from Minnesota Department of Human Services data reported by the Minnesota Star Tribune following FBI raids on multiple autism centers as part of investigations into alleged large-scale fraud schemes.

The investigation overlapped with the Feeding Our Future case, in which 70 people were charged with defrauding a federal child nutrition program, and at least a dozen defendants were connected to autism centers.

Prosecutors allege that some parents received kickbacks, which became central to the scandal. Companies such as Smart Therapy LLC in Minneapolis and Star Autism Center in St. Cloud were accused of paying parents between $300 and $1,500 per month in cash to enroll their children.

In exchange, centers billed Medicaid for more than 40 hours per week of one-on-one therapy that was either not provided or performed by untrained 18-year-old relatives with no background in autism care. Authorities also allege widespread billing for “ghost” services, including therapy sessions that never occurred or for implausible numbers of hours.

In the Smart Therapy case, owner Asha Farhan Hassan pleaded guilty in December 2025 to a $14 million autism fraud scheme, admitting to using unqualified high school graduates as behavioral technicians and billing for maximum allowable hours even when no care was provided.

A state-commissioned Optum report later flagged 90% of the claims reviewed as problematic, including those from companies lacking basic operational details such as phone numbers or websites.

The latest development centers on licensing. Before the scandal, Minnesota did not require autism centers to hold a specific state license; providers only had to enroll as Medicaid providers. Under Minnesota Statute 256B.0949, individuals could serve as Level III providers with minimal qualifications: being 18 years old, holding a high school diploma or GED or fluency in a non-English language, completing brief online training modules, and being hired by an enrolled agency.

Lawmakers raised concerns that oversight relied on Qualified Supervising Professionals, but investigations revealed that supervision sometimes existed only on paper. Level III workers were allegedly left alone with children or were relatives billing Medicaid for time spent providing little or no therapeutic services.

After the Feeding Our Future scandal, Gov. Tim Walz and the Department of Human Services identified 14 Medicaid service categories as high risk due to explosive spending growth. Of those 14 programs, six still do not require licensing, a gap lawmakers say made fraud easier to commit. And yet, prior to DHS designating EIDBI as high risk, the state was not legally permitted to conduct unannounced site visits at roughly 500 autism centers statewide.

Now that licensing is required, committee members have expressed frustration over the slow pace of compliance. Of more than 500 previously unlicensed centers, only six have applied ahead of the May 31 deadline.

So far, it does not appear that Tim Walz has been implicated. However, one has to ask how such rampant fraud could be occurring under his nose and expanding at exponential rates under his watch without him knowing. Furthermore, while the state claims to have launched investigations, the lid was blown off this mountain of fraud by content creator Nick Shirley when he uncovered billions in daycare fraud, which brought national attention to the rest of it.

Nearly 2,500 Students PUNISHED in Deep-Red Lee County, Florida After Anti-ICE Walkouts — Suspensions Issued as District Reviews Additional Discipline

Students protesting against ICE policies in Lee County, holding signs and demonstrating in a public space.

School officials in Lee County, Florida have taken sweeping disciplinary action against students who abandoned classrooms to participate in coordinated anti-ICE walkout protests earlier this month.

According to district officials, 2,480 students were identified for engaging in disruptive conduct during demonstrations that took place between February 4 and February 6, part of a broader protest movement that involved more than 3,600 students across 14 schools in the county.

And now, discipline is coming down.

School officials confirmed that dozens of Lee County Public School students have already been suspended for their involvement in the demonstrations, with the district warning that more punishments are likely as administrators continue reviewing surveillance footage and eyewitness reports from the protests, Gulf Coast News reported.

Administrators say the disciplinary measures were not handed down for political viewpoints, but rather for violations of the district’s Student Code of Conduct, including leaving class without permission, creating unsafe conditions, and refusing to comply with instructions from school staff.

District officials categorized the violations as follows, according to Gulf Coast News:

  • 2,037 students skipped class or arrived late
  • 393 students committed safety violations
  • 50 students were cited for insubordination or disrespect

Students who left campus during instructional hours, in some cases reportedly jumping fences or exiting through unauthorized areas, created what Superintendent Dr. Denise Carlin described as unsafe situations for both themselves and others.

Based on the severity of the infraction and each student’s behavioral history, the district imposed the following consequences:

  • 11 recommendations for reassignment to Success Academy

  • 134 out-of-school suspensions

  • 40 in-school suspensions

  • 43 student conferences

  • 7 parent meetings

  • 208 Level III interventions, including:

    • Behavior contracts

    • Loss of extracurricular privileges

    • Restitution

  • 2,037 warnings and/or assignment zeroes

District officials emphasized that the overwhelming majority of students, 96%, remained in class and complied with school rules during the protests.

“The safety and security of our schools is our top priority,” Carlin stated. “Ninety-six percent of our students adhered to the Student Code of Conduct by remaining in class and focused on their education during the protests.”

Officials also confirmed that additional disciplinary actions may still be forthcoming as administrators continue reviewing surveillance footage and eyewitness reports from the demonstrations.

The investigation remains ongoing.

It has been reported that the teachers’ union might have orchestrated the walkout.

Ivermectin+Mebendazole: The Perfect Parasite Spring Cleanse For Your Body

A woman in a garden appears distressed while a man offers support, surrounded by lush vegetables and plants in raised beds.

For most Americans, it’s been a long cold winter. But as February draws to a close, most of us are dreaming of spring:  the flowers, the sun, the warm weather, the chance to get back outside, and – of course – spring cleaning.

Spring cleaning is a rite of passage of the seasons. An opportunity to clean up from winter, put away the snow shovels, and get your house and yard in order. Over the last few years, as more and more Americans have focused on their health and well being, something new has become almost as popular as spring cleaning: a spring cleanse.

Like a spring cleaning that is focused on getting your house and yard in order, a spring cleanse is intended to give your body a reset and prepare yourself for the rest of the year.

A spring cleanse is a perfect opportunity to address an issue facing millions of Americans, but one that is largely ignored by the medical establishment:  parasites.

The Threat of Parasites

Before the healthcare bureaucracy’s myopic focus on COVID-19 and other potential pandemics, the Centers for the Disease Control issued a stunning warning about the threat of parasitic diseases here in the United States:

Most people think parasitic diseases occur in poor and developing countries, or are infections they might pick up on a trip to a foreign country. However, parasitic infections also occur in the United States, and in some cases affect millions of people. Often they can go unnoticed, with few symptoms. But many times the infections cause serious illnesses, including seizures, blindness, pregnancy complications, heart failure, and even death. Anyone—regardless of race or economic status—can become infected.

The threat of parasites is just as high today, as it was just five years ago – the only difference is that our healthcare establishment has all but abandoned doing the necessary work of empowering Americans to take control of their health and preventing dangerous healthcare outcomes before they occur.

Fortunately, freedom-fighting doctors like Dr. Peter McCullough are now speaking up about the threats posed by parasites. In a post on his widely-read SubStack, Dr. McCullough says:

While each illness has diagnostic strategies followed by care providers, many patients want to take a proactive stance with respect to parasites. The CDC says the burden of parasitic diseases among Americans is high.

  • More than 300,000 people living in the United States are infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease, and more than 300 infected babies are born every year.

  • There are at least 1,000 hospitalizations for symptomatic cysticercosis per year in the United States.

  • At least 14 percent of the U.S. population has been exposed to Toxocara, the parasite that causes toxocariasis, and each year at least 70 people—most of them children—are blinded by resulting eye disease.

  • More than 60 million people in the United States are chronically infected with Toxoplasma gondii, the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis; new infections in pregnant women can lead to birth defects and infections in those with compromised immune systems can be fatal.

  • Trichomoniasis can cause pregnancy problems and increase the risk of other sexually transmitted infections including HIV. The Trichomonas parasite is extremely common, affecting 3.7 million people in the United States, although it is easily treatable.

 Not only is Dr. McCullough sounding the alarm about the threat of parasites, McCullough is also offering Americans the ability to do something about this threat:

If you think you could be impacted, contact The Wellness Company for a review with one of our doctors and look for the combination parasite cleanse featuring combined ivermectin/mebendazole.

 Ivermectin to the Rescue!

If you want to get your body ready for the rest of the year, a spring parasite cleanse may be just what the doctor ordered! There is no better cleanse than pure lab-tested Ivermectin + Mebendazole, compounded into a single capsule by The Wellness Company.

Tennessee GOP Removes Judge Joe Brown from 2026 Shelby County Mayoral Primary Ballot After Party Declares Him Not a “Bona Fide” Republican

Former television personality and longtime Memphis jurist Judge Joe Brown has officially been removed from the Republican primary ballot in the 2026 Shelby County mayoral race.

According to Shelby County GOP Vice Chairman Luke Cymbal, the state party made the decision Thursday to strike Brown from the certified list of Republican candidates eligible to compete in the upcoming primary election, citing his past voting record as failing to meet the party’s criteria for bona fide Republican status, Action News 5 reported.

Judge Brown, who announced his campaign for county mayor earlier this month, had sought to run under the Republican banner in the May 5 primary. But party leadership intervened and ruled that he failed to meet internal membership standards required to qualify as an official Republican candidate.

Under Tennessee Republican Party bylaws, the state executive committee has the power to determine who is and isn’t a “real” Republican. To be considered “bona fide,” a candidate usually must have voted in three of the last four Republican primaries or be “vouched for” by local party leadership.

This effectively bars Brown from appearing on the GOP primary ballot unless a formal appeal is successful.

The Shelby County Republican Party has already thrown its support behind former State Representative John DeBerry as its preferred candidate in the mayoral primary.

It can be recalled that Judge Joe Brown unleashed a torrent of criticism against several high-profile individuals, including John Legend, Fani Willis, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, whom he referred to as a “lowdown scummy bastard” and “a piece of urban trailer park trash.”

Judge Joe Brown also destroyed Kamala Harris’s run for the presidency after one brutally honest interview.

Judge Brown told Dialogue what he really feels about the former California mistress turned politician.

Judge Joe Brown: She’s a piece of sh*t. I was in California. She lacked professional competence, and she worked on it by hiking up her hem line when she needed influence rather than researching. She’s always tried to do the casting couch to get where she wants.

Judge Joe Brown has not yet issued a formal statement regarding a potential legal challenge or an independent run.

Philly Police Officers File Federal Class-Action Lawsuit After Being Denied Promotions for Being White Men

Close-up of the Philadelphia Police badge featuring the words "Honor, Service, Integrity" and an emblem representing law enforcement values.

Five white male Philadelphia police officers have filed a federal class-action lawsuit against the City of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Police Department, and several senior officials, alleging they were denied promotions due to their race and sex under the department’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies.

The lawsuit, filed by America First Legal (AFL), claims the officers were passed over for captain and lieutenant positions in November in favor of lower-ranked non-white or female candidates, despite higher civil-service exam scores, strong service records, positive performance reviews, and extensive law enforcement experience.

The plaintiffs, Christopher Bloom, Kollin Berg, Joseph Musumeci, Marc Monachello, and Leroy Ziegler Jr., argue that the city’s “Rule of Five” policy, adopted in 2021 after the death of George Floyd, allows officials to bypass merit-based rankings to prioritize racial and gender diversity.

This replaced the previous “Rule of Two,” which required selections from the top two candidates based on exam scores, seniority, and education.

According to the complaint, the policy was implemented to increase minority and female representation in supervisory roles at the expense of white men.

In the 2025 promotions, 10 officers were elevated to the rank of captain and 14 to lieutenant. The suit alleges that only half of the captain promotions went to white males, despite white males making up 70 percent of the top 10 candidates and 73 percent of the top 15 by test scores.

Specific examples include three plaintiffs ranked 8th to 13th on the captain list being bypassed for a candidate ranked 17th, and two on the lieutenant list (27th and 28th) overlooked while 15 lower-ranked candidates were selected, including those as low as 30th and 34th.

The lawsuit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as potential damages, and aims to represent all white male officers affected since 2021.

AFL Senior Counsel Nick Barry stated in a press release, “Federal civil-rights law prohibits employers from making promotion decisions based on race or sex.”

Barry continued, “Put simply, employers cannot use protected characteristics to override merit. Promotions must be based on excellence, experience, and performance, not on the race or sex of the candidate.”

The press release added,”AFL is committed to rooting out and destroying DEI in the United States, and it will sue any public or private employer that uses illegal race or sex preferences in hiring or promotions. Hiring and other employment practices must be based on merit and excellence. AFL will fight on behalf of American workers to ensure that individuals are hired and promoted based on their skills and not their race or sex.”

Britain’s Far-Left Just Stole an Election Through Muslim Voter Fraud and Even Leftist Media is Admitting It!

Britain’s far-left Green Party has defeated Nigel Farage’s Reform Party in a Manchester special election marred by Muslim voter fraud.

The Green Party candidate Hannah Spencer won 49 percent of the vote against the 29 percent won by Reform UK’s Matthew Goodwin.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party was pushed into third place with some 26 percent.

The election took place in the constituency of Gorton and Denton in Manchester, which has a very high Muslim population.

Shortly after polls closed, reports emerged that the Greens may have benefited from so-called “family voting” in heavily Muslim areas.

U.K. Green Party Adopts Banning Landlords as Official Policy — Declares Renting Property as ‘Intrinsically Exploitative’

Many voted Green as a protest over Gaza, reinforcing Britain’s deepening slide into sectarian politics.

“Family voting” refers to multiple relatives entering a single polling booth together.

The practice is illegal under British electoral law, as it can involve one person influencing or directing how another family member casts their ballot.

Writing on the X platform, Reform leader Nigel Farage noted that incidents of family voting had “reached the highest levels of any election in the past 10 years.”

“This is deeply concerning and raises serious questions about the integrity of the democratic process in predominantly Muslim areas,” he wrote.

The fraud was so blatant that even leftist media outlets like The Guardian are admitting that something was awry.

The paper reported:

Democracy Volunteers, an organisation founded by Dr John Ault, and supported by the Conservative peer and psephologist Prof Robert Haywood, deployed four accredited election observers across the constituency. The team attended 22 of the 45 polling stations while polls were open, spending between 30 and 45 minutes in each, working in pairs.

The organisation said its volunteers were looking at people appearing to collude on votes in breach of secret ballot rules, which it called “family voting”, as well as the impact of the requirement for voters to show ID before they were issued with a ballot paper.

Democracy Volunteers said that while the enactment of the Ballot Secrecy Act in 2023 made “family voting” more clearly a breach of the secret ballot, signage to discourage the practice was only seen in 45% of the polling stations observed.

The observing team said they saw family voting in 15 of the 22 polling stations observed, reporting 32 cases in total, nine cases in one polling station alone. They observed a sample of 545 voters casting their votes, of which they said 12% either directed or were affected by family voting.

Just like in America, wherever the far left and mass immigration take root, the stealing of elections is never far behind.
