DNI Tulsi Gabbard has criminally referred Ukraine impeachment ‘whistleblower’ Eric Ciaramella and former intelligence community IG, Michael Atkinson to the Justice Department.

Fox News reported:

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence sent criminal referrals to the Justice Department for the whistleblower whose complaint helped trigger President Donald Trump’s 2019 impeachment and for the former intelligence community inspector general who notified Congress of the allegations, Fox News Digital has learned.

“I want to refer information that may constitute possible criminal activity in violation of federal criminal law committed by one or more former employees of the intelligence community,” ODNI’s general counsel wrote in the referral to the Justice Department.

Fox News Digital on Wednesday reviewed the referrals ODNI sent to the Justice Department.

“The possible criminal activity concerns the circumstances described in the following congressional briefings: Discussion with Intelligence Community Inspector General, House Permanent Select Comm. on Intel., 116th Cong. (2019); Briefing by the Intelligence Community Inspector General, House Permanent Select Comm. on Intel., 116th Cong. (2019),” it continued.

Tulsi Gabbard recently declassified a top secret document related to Trump’s first impeachment that then-House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff locked away in a SCIF [Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility] for years.

The House Intelligence Committee voted on Tuesday to release transcripts from 2019 hearings with the former Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson.

CIA snitch Eric Ciaramella filed a whistleblower complaint in August 2019 over a July 25 phone call President Trump had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alleging Trump engaged in quid pro quo and pressured Zelensky to investigate the Biden crime family.

Changes were made to the whistleblower form to include watercooler talk, gossip and second-hand information and ICIG Michael Atkinson defended the changes.

Atkinson admitted in a previous statement that the agency changed its own whistleblower rules *because of the anti-Trump complaint* from CIA snitch Eric Ciaramella.

Although, the form should not have been accepted based on second-hand information and because it was about the President of the United States (who is not in the IC), Atkinson accepted the complaint.

The whistleblower later attempted to edit the form he originally provided.

The original form stated that the whistleblower did not talk to Congress before filing the form but after it was discovered that he had met with Adam Schiff’s team in Congress, the whistleblower attempted to edit his form.

Then-House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff lied when he stated publicly, “we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower.”

Is Starmer really a ‘kir’?

Failing British Prime Minister probably has been called worse, but Persian speakers around the world have a new, choice nickname for him.

In Iran and among the diaspora, Starmer is unable to avoid a rather unfortunate nickname.

Keir Starmer’s first name means dick in Persian. pic.twitter.com/fb8L2jtC6z

The Telegraph reported:

“To millions of Persian speakers, his first name sounds remarkably similar to a vulgar term for a penis. The word کیر – transliterated as “kir” – is one of the language’s most commonly used obscenities.

The linguistic similarity, long noted by Iranian diaspora communities, has sparked a wave of mockery on social media since the outbreak of the Iran war.”

The United Kingdom has endlessly appeased the criminal regime in Iran. The Prime Minister speaks of protecting the innocent civilians of Iran but failed to act to help stop the regime’s massacre of 40,000 innocent Iranians in January.

Only an end to this regime – that brings… https://t.co/zseMopIsW6

Starmer’s passivity during the Iran military clashes let Iranian diaspora users fuming.

“’From his name, you can tell what kind of man he is’, one user wrote on X. While the joke predates the Iran war, the volume increased in the past month, and peaked this week when Sir Keir declared that Britain would not take part in any blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

The Prime Minister’s widely shared statement prompted an immediate eruption of jokes online, with many Persian speakers referring to him as ‘Kir Starmer’.”

Prick Starmer. ‘Iranians have a vulgar nickname for Starmer’ … so do we. https://t.co/W8PNNcb1bV

Ye’s tour under fire.

After getting banned from the UK and under heavy criticism in France, rapper Kanye West announced that he is postponing his show in Marseille, in a fresh blow to his controversial tour.

After much thought and consideration, it is my sole decision
to postpone my show in Marseille, France until further notice.

Reuters reported:

“The 48-year-old rapper, now known as Ye, wrote on X on Tuesday ​that he had made the decision ‘after much thought and consideration’. Ye had been ​scheduled to perform on June 11 at the Orange Velodrome in ⁠Marseille.

‘I know it takes time to understand the sincerity of my commitment to ​make amends’, the rapper posted. ‘I take full responsibility for what’s mine but I ​don’t want to put my fans in the middle of it’.”

French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez was attempting to block Ye from performing, while Marseille’s mayor already said back in ​March that Ye was not welcome to perform in the city.

“Ye was barred from ‌Australia ⁠last July after releasing “[Ni**er] Heil Hitler”, a song promoting Nazism. He also advertised a swastika T-shirt for sale on his website.”

“In January, Ye took out a full‑page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal to apologize for his behavior, which he attributed to ​an undiagnosed brain injury ​and untreated bipolar ⁠disorder, and renounced past expressions of admiration for Adolf Hitler.”

In March, John H. Windom, 64, was federally indicted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia on three counts: Concealment of Material Facts, False Statements, and Falsification of a Record or Document.

Windom, 64, a retired U.S. Navy Captain and former senior executive at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), served as Executive Director of the Office of Electronic Health Record Modernization (OEHRM) from 2017 to 2022.

In 2022, during the Biden administration, he was reassigned as deputy director of the Federal Electronic Health Modernization Office, a joint DoD-VA initiative.

According to the three-count Indictment, between 2017 and 2021, while Windom was leading the $16 billion acquisition and deployment of the VA’s Electronic Health Records solution, then one of the largest information technology contracts in the federal government, he concealed from the VA, executive branch ethics officials, and the public that he was also accepting, and sometimes demanding, extravagant gifts from a group of contractors and subcontractors who worked on the project he was overseeing.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro, Assistant Director in Charge Darren B. Cox of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, and Veterans Affairs Inspector General Cheryl L. Mason announced the charges.

“As alleged, the defendant exploited his senior position for personal gain and concealed gifts and financial relationships that created serious conflicts of interest in the health care of our nation’s veterans,” said U.S. Attorney Pirro.

“Such conduct is not only a betrayal of the public trust—it undermines confidence in the institutions dedicated to serving those who have sacrificed for this country. Our office will continue to aggressively investigate and prosecute public corruption wherever it occurs, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to protecting the integrity of the programs that support America’s veterans.”

“This indictment sends a clear message that the VA OIG is committed to holding individuals accountable, including VA employees who are alleged to have misused their position of public trust for personal gain,” said Inspector General Mason.

The indictment reveals that between 2017 and 2021 (while overseeing the massive EHR project), he allegedly accepted and sometimes demanded thousands of dollars in gifts from contractors and subcontractors involved in the project.

Gifts reportedly included:

• Cash (at least $2,000)
• Casino chips (about $1,800)
• An $8,200 Louis Vuitton gift card
• Other gift cards and extravagant items (totaling over $15,000–$16,000)

He allegedly concealed these from the VA, ethics officials, and the public, despite knowing he was required to report them.

When questioned by federal agents in 2021, he reportedly denied accepting any such gifts.

If convicted on all counts, he faces up to 20+ years in prison plus financial penalties.

Airline pilots were caught making animal noises over a live aviation radio frequency at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, prompting a stunned air traffic controller to shut it down in real time.

According to a now-viral air traffic control (ATC) audio clip circulating online, the incident lasted roughly 15–20 seconds and captured pilots communicating using “meow” sounds and even dog barks instead of standard aviation language.

That’s when an air traffic controller finally stepped in and shut it down.

Here’s how the exchange unfolded:

One pilot can be heard saying, “meow meow.”

Moments later, another voice, believed to be the air traffic controller, responds:
“You guys need to be professional pilots.”

Instead of stopping, the “cat” voice continues:
“meow meow meow meow.”

Then another pilot chimes in with:
“Woof woof woof.”

Then the air traffic controller adds a jab, quite personal:
“This is why you still fly an RJ [regional jet].”

Another “meow meow” follows before the frustrated controller closes it out:
“It was funny the first five minutes, thank you very much.”

WATCH:

The reaction online has been sharply divided: some argue this kind of behavior is completely inappropriate for live aviation communications, while others say pilots operate under constant pressure and can be afforded a brief moment of levity.

The bizarre exchange reportedly took place over a monitored aviation frequency, where pilots are expected to maintain strict communication discipline, especially in congested airspace like Washington, D.C.

This is the same airport where, just 15 months ago in January 2025, an American Eagle CRJ collided mid-air with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter, killing all 67 people on board in one of the deadliest aviation disasters in recent U.S. history.

Gavin Newsom is on borrowed time and Eric Swalwell just showed you exactly how it ends.

One minute you’re protected. Promoted. Untouchable. The next? You’re exposed, discarded, and politically finished. Swalwell’s fall isn’t random—it’s a warning. When Democrats decide you’re no longer useful, everything changes fast.

Today, we break down what I’m calling the Democrat blackmail machine. Allegations of honeypots, hidden cameras, and political traps used to keep their own in line. Step out of line or lose your value… and suddenly your past isn’t so private anymore.

Now ask yourself—why is Newsom suddenly vulnerable?

Because there’s a bigger play in motion.

Michelle Obama.

The name being floated. The candidate the media won’t challenge. The one the party can rally around instantly. And if that’s the plan, Newsom isn’t the future—he’s the obstacle.

Swalwell was the preview. Newsom could be next. And Michelle Obama may be the endgame.

We connect the dots. We ask the questions others won’t. And we show you how this game is really played.

The Duke of Sussex is always in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Just last week, news arose that Prince Harry is being sued by the African charity he founded, Sentebale, accused of defamation.

Days later, Harry and his wife, Meghan, embarked on a pseudo-Royal trip to Australia and became the target of ample criticism for insisting on pretending to still be ‘working members’ of the Windsor family.

During the trip, Harry, who professes to be trying to make amends with his father, King Charles, declared publicly that he ‘wanted to be a better parent’ than him.

Prince Harry admits ‘struggles’ of being a father and ‘disconnection’ to son Archie as he says he needed to be ‘cleansed of his past’ at talk on men’s mental health on second day of Australian quasi royal tour https://t.co/zyT7lUvGMa

— Daily Mail (@DailyMail) April 15, 2026

The Telegraph reported:

“Prince Harry said each generation of parents needed to be ‘an upgrade’ as he compared his parenting skills to those of his mother and father at an engagement with Movember, the men’s health charity, in Melbourne.

He was quick to insist that he was not ‘pointing the finger’ at his own parents, saying that even someone with a perfect upbringing would want to improve on it for their own children.”

“’I see parenting evolving over time’, the Duke said. ‘Our kids are our upgrade. Not to say that I upgraded my dad or that my kids upgraded me, but the kids that we bring up in today’s world need to be upgraded’.

The Duke, who has previously spoken about breaking a cycle of ‘genetic pain’, added: ‘There’s no judgment, there’s no blame, there’s no pointing the finger. The reality is that – however you are parenting – that is a personal experience to you, you are going to want to improve on that’.”

‘The Australians didn’t ask for the Sussex circus.’

Royal Commentator Lee Cohen believes that the Australia tour is a ‘bad look’ for Prince Harry and Meghan.

Despite Harry and Meghan denying it, Australian taxpayers will fund some of their tour of Australia.

GB News reported:

“Representatives of the couple previously dismissed the claims after thousands of Aussies signed a petition last month demanding no public money be spent on the forthcoming tour. ’The trip is being funded privately, so I’m not sure what this petition hopes to achieve’, a spokesman for the couple said.”

Police in Victoria and New South Wales confirmed they will provide security operations in the region for the private tour.

“The New South Wales Police Force will conduct an operation to ensure public safety is maintained during the visit by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex,” an NSW force spokesman said. ‘The operation will require some additional security measures throughout their stay in New South Wales, while minimizing any disruption to the community’.

While NSW Police provide many of its services free of charge, private events that require additional security often demand event organizers to bear the extra expense, through an agreement between the force and organizer.”

Six House Republicans on Wednesday voted with the Democrats to extend ‘Temporary Protected Status’ for thousands of Haitians living in the US for three years.

The measure was introduced by radical Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley.

“Extending TPS for Haiti is not only the moral and humanitarian thing to do—it’s also good policy. It’s good for families, it’s good for our economy, and it’s good for America,” Pressley said ahead of the vote. “Today the People’s House has an opportunity to pass our legislation to extend Haiti TPS and save lives. And we must do just that.”

Rep. Kevin Kiley who just flipped from a Republican to an Independent, also voted with the Democrats.

The vote to advance the measure was 219-209.

There will be a final vote in the House on Thursday. Even if the measure passes the House, it is likely dead on arrival in the Senate.

Here are the six Republicans who voted with the Democrats to buck Trump:

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE)
Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL)
Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL)
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY)
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY)

Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA), an independent who caucuses with Republicans, also voted with the Democrats.

Politico reported:

The House advanced legislation Wednesday that would restore legal status to thousands of Haitian immigrants in the United States, after a few Republicans crossed the aisle to sign onto a discharge petition that forced a floor vote on the bill.

A handful of Republicans joined all Democrats in voting for the bill from Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), who used the discharge petition maneuver to compel a vote on the legislation — the latest instance where Republicans have broken rank to support a procedural gambit typically deployed exclusively by members of the minority party.

Pressley’s measure would reinstate temporary protected status for Haitian migrants who came to the United States amid decades of upheavals and natural disasters in the beleaguered Caribbean country. While this designation does not afford a path to citizenship for Haitian migrants, it does allow migrants to live and work in the United States.

Far-left Democrat Representatives earlier Wednesday joined Ayanna Pressley and demanded the House pass the measure to extend the TPS status for the Haitians.

“Haiti is overrun by criminal gangs, who kidnap women and girls, extort residents for protection money, and kill with impunity. We must preserve their TPS and protect their lives and safety,” said Wasserman Schultz.

“As a descendent of immigrants who fled repression and antisemitism, I’ll always fight for law-abiding immigrant families who fled desperate circumstances and who work hard, pay taxes, pass criminal background checks, and contribute to our economy and communities,” Wasserman-Schultz added.

“Extending TPS for Haiti is urgent and necessary,” said Maxwell Frost.

“I’ve been fighting to protect Haitian families in Central Florida because Haiti is facing a devastating humanitarian crisis marked by violence, instability, and a lack of basic safety. The House must act to protect these families, and the Senate must follow with the same urgency,” Frost added.

“For Haitian nationals, these deportation threats are not policy. They are a death sentence,” said Rep. Frederica Wilson (FL-24). “My constituents have done everything right, and I refuse to stand by while they are sent back into violence, instability, and fear. Haiti is not safe, and we all know it. This is a humanitarian crisis, and I am demanding immediate action to extend TPS, protect these families, and stand with Haiti. I will keep fighting with everything I have until these families are protected and this injustice is brought to an end.”

The Supreme Court this month will hear oral arguments on the Trump Administration’s decision to end TPS for hundreds of thousand of Haitians and Syrians.
