‘Seditious Six’ Video Part of a Larger Hoax Straight Out of the CIA Playbook: Jesse Watters

Jesse Watters delivered a detailed on-air statement alleging that two CIA officers informed him of what he described as a coordinated effort to condition the public to view President Donald Trump as a domestic threat.

Watters said the operation resembled a destabilization tactic designed to generate mistrust within the United States.

Watters said the individuals he spoke with described the effort as part of a broader plan.

“So I talked to two CIA officers who said that this is a part of a larger hoax, and what they’re doing here is they’re trying to condition the country to prepare for something bad that’s about to happen at the hands of Donald Trump. It’s straight out of the CIA playbook. It’s a destabilization operation where you get people to mistrust each other,” Watters said.

He said the operation followed a recognizable sequence.

“And you do this because she’s an analyst. And as an analyst, she would make sure what propaganda operations were successful which ones weren’t, so she knows what works,” Watters said.

He described the structure he believed was present in the messaging.

“So the first part of the video, you establish authority. I’m CIA. I’m military. You need to trust us. Second part of the video, they introduced the threat, and the threat is not foreign. The threat is domestic. The threat is Donald Trump. And then at the end, they introduce the solution. What’s the solution? You resist. You say no, but they don’t give an option. They say, this is an obligation for you to do.”

Watters said the individual featured in the video was being directed by others.

“Now she is being run because she didn’t come up with this herself. She’s a Brennan acolyte, and you usually don’t have congressmen and senators doing anything together. They kind of hate each other, so in order to organize this, this had to have had some sort of handler telling her what to do,” he said.

He argued that the effort carried significant risk.

“And it was risky, because nothing like this has ever been done in the history of the country, and you can even tell, because the media was skeptical and they couldn’t answer the question, so they hadn’t even been read in on the operation. You see them fumbling and stumbling,” Watters said.

Watters also commented on a military review connected to the matter.

“And I’m glad that the US military is now investigating this guy, Kelly, because this is what we expect from Donald Trump. To point out you can’t have the deep state interfering with a duly elected presidency and get away with it. You got to draw the line in the sand, and you have to make examples out of people.”

Maryland Scrambles as Records Show Illegal Alien Superintendent Listed as Democratic Voter

A dispute has developed over heavily redacted voter registration documents released by the Prince George’s County Board of Elections concerning Ian Andre Roberts, an illegal alien who served as superintendent of the Des Moines public school district until his arrest by federal authorities in September.

The American Accountability Foundation and Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections are challenging the county’s decision to withhold portions of the records, citing federal requirements for public access.

Justin Riemer, CEO and president of Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections, said the redacted documents were unexpected.

“This was shocking,” Riemer told Fox News Digital.

“When I saw the news reporting, and they showed screenshots of the registration applications with all this information redacted, I was just shocked.”

The released records had 18 redaction boxes across two pages, removing Roberts’ sex, whether he checked the citizenship box, his date of birth, and other identifying details.

Riemer, an election attorney representing both Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections and the American Accountability Foundation, said the information removed exceeded what the National Voter Registration Act allows election officials to withhold.

He stated that protections apply to information such as Social Security numbers or driver’s license numbers, not a person’s gender or responses to citizenship questions.

Roberts, originally from Guyana, first entered the United States in 1994.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested him in September while he was serving as superintendent in Des Moines.

Fox News Digital previously reported that his employment authorization card had expired in 2020, meaning he was not legally permitted to work at the time of his appointment.

After his arrest, additional details were reviewed by investigators and media outlets.

The Department of Homeland Security stated in October that Roberts was listed as a registered Democratic voter in Maryland and had a 2012 conviction for reckless driving.

The Maryland State Board of Elections said he did not vote in elections.

Further reviews found that Roberts had earlier criminal charges dating back to 1996 in New York and a dropped 1998 unauthorized-use-of-a-vehicle charge in Queens.

More recent charges included a 2020 case for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and a 2022 conviction for unlawful possession of a loaded firearm in Pennsylvania.

Riemer said the case illustrates systemic issues.

“I’m an election law expert, not an immigration expert, but it doesn’t take one to see just how… broken the system has been,” he said.

He noted Roberts’ ability to work in multiple school districts despite past charges and without current authorization.

“It’s really just unbelievable how this guy has managed to jump around the country, working in school districts where he’s around children.”

The American Accountability Foundation filed a public records request for Roberts’ voter registration application.

Prince George’s County provided the documents but with the disputed redactions, leading to the current challenge.

Riemer said the request was made under the National Voter Registration Act, which includes provisions for public access to voter registration records.

On Tuesday, Riemer sent a letter to the county board demanding the release of less-redacted documents by Dec. 1.

The letter stated that failure to comply would lead to a notice citing a violation of 52 U.S.C. § 20507(i). If the county did not resolve the matter within 90 days of that notice, he said legal action would follow.

“Please provide my clients with the records no later than Monday, December 1, 2025,” the letter said.

It added that if the county withheld information beyond permitted exceptions, his clients would file suit in Maryland federal district court and seek attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, and other costs.

Riemer said he had not yet received a response from the board and believed the county may be consulting the state board of elections and the state attorney general’s office.

He noted that Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections sued Maryland last year over restrictions on public access to voter registration records and won that case in March.

Riemer said the Roberts case reflects broader concerns about non-citizens appearing on voter rolls.

He cited Oregon’s report that its DMV had registered several thousand non-citizens. “We know it happens in the thousands,” he said.

Roberts was taken into U.S. Marshals’ custody after his arrest and is set to be prosecuted, the Department of Homeland Security reported.

According to the agency, he attempted to flee officers and was found with $3,000 in cash, a Glock 9mm pistol, and a hunting knife.

On Oct. 2, he was charged federally with being an illegal alien in possession of firearms.

The Iowa Board of Educational Examiners subsequently revoked Roberts’ license, making him ineligible to serve again as a superintendent in the state.

Trump Reposts Lara Logan’s ‘STOLEN ELECTIONS’ Report, Urges Immediate Federal Crackdown

President Donald Trump on Sunday urged his administration to intensify efforts against election fraud, stating that “all of our energy and might” must be directed toward the issue.

His comments followed his reposting of an episode of investigative reporter Lara Logan’s podcast, which discussed election fraud, foreign influence operations, and matters involving U.S. intelligence agencies.

Trump wrote, “We must focus all of our energy and might on ELECTION FRAUD!!”

The call comes amid recent attention on allegations involving Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and other Democratic attorneys general.

The allegations, described in a whistleblower memo filed by former Trump attorney Christina Bobb, claim that the Democratic Attorneys General Association paid $200,000 to Mayes in exchange for granting prosecutorial influence to the nonprofit States United Democracy Center.

Bobb submitted the memo to the Department of Justice in June.

 

Bobb told The Gateway Pundit that the filing is “pretty radioactive” and questioned whether the Department of Justice “wants to take this up.”

Freshman Rep. Abe Hamadeh of Arizona sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi last week requesting a formal Department of Justice investigation into the allegations.

Hamadeh said he intends to continue pressing for action. “I have made my position very clear to the top officials at the White House that I’m going to keep pursuing this,” he said.

“Now, we have to see action.”

Hamadeh discussed his own 2022 election during the interview and said it was stolen, referencing the race that led to the installation of the current Arizona attorney general.

He called on the Department of Justice to “use every single tool” to investigate prosecutors he described as leftwing and to investigate elections in states across the country.

The allegations involving Mayes and the Democratic Attorneys General Association are now under review by Republican officeholders seeking federal involvement.

Supporters of an investigation have said the timeline for addressing election matters is narrowing before the 2026 election cycle.

Logan’s podcast episode also featured former CIA operations officer Gary Bernstein and author Paul Pezzullo in a discussion about foreign influence, intelligence matters, and claims of election-related activity.

Mamdani Confronted in the Oval Office Over Taxing White Neighborhoods Remarks

Conservative journalist Jack Posobiec questioned New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday about comments the incoming mayor made on the campaign trail regarding shifting property tax burdens within the city.

The exchange took place at the White House during a visit with President Donald Trump.

Posobiec referenced statements Mamdani made about moving portions of the property tax burden away from minority neighborhoods and toward what Mamdani had previously described as “white-based communities.”

Posobiec asked both the mayor-elect and the President about those remarks.

“Mr. President, I wanted to know, one of the policies as well that Mayor-elect Mamdani talked a number of times about on the campaign, was shifting the tax burden for property taxes from what he called minority communities to white-based communities, and putting more taxes on white people,” Posobiec said.

He also noted that Mamdani’s acceptance speech did not include references to “America, or Christians, or white people in general.”

Mamdani responded by highlighting his priorities related to affordability and housing.

“We focused on affordability, we focused on the cost of living crisis. What I will say is that, I am very much interested in property tax reform, because what we see right now in New York City is a system that is so inequitable that it can’t even stand up in court,” he said.

Mamdani added that he and the President discussed “the importance of not only building more housing, but also making sure the regulation of housing is something that is manageable to actually get through.”

Posobiec pressed further, asking, “To be clear, you’re continuing this idea of race-based property taxes.”

Mamdani denied that his proposal was based on race. Posobiec then said that it was “what” Mamdani had stated previously.

Mamdani clarified his past comments.

He said the “use of the term was a description of neighborhoods, not a description of intent.”

Posobiec responded by asking, “So, you intend to tax the whiter neighborhoods more.”

Mamdani said his administration intends “to create a fair property tax system,” adding that the goal is to support a city that is “fair and equitable,” and a city that residents across all neighborhoods can afford.

Breitbart News reported that campaign material from Mamdani included a proposal titled “Stop the Squeeze on NYC Homeowners.”

In that proposal, Mamdani wrote that his administration would “shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.”

Good News: Thanksgiving Costs Lowest in 4 Years Despite ‘Experts’ Predictions

The American Farm Bureau’s 40th annual survey shows the cost of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner has dropped to its lowest level since 2021.

The organization reported Thursday that a classic holiday meal for 10 people will cost $55.18 this year, a decrease of five percent compared to 2024.

The annual survey, conducted since 1986, relies on volunteers across all 50 states and Puerto Rico who record local prices for a set list of traditional items.

Those items include turkey, cubed stuffing, sweet potatoes, dinner rolls, frozen peas, fresh cranberries, celery, carrots, pumpkin pie mix and crusts, whipping cream, and whole milk.

According to the Farm Bureau, prices rose sharply in recent years.

Inflation accelerated to its fastest pace in four decades during the presidency of Joe Biden, pushing the cost of the standard Thanksgiving meal up 14 percent in 2021 to $53.31.

The following year saw an additional 20 percent increase, bringing the price to $64.05.

By Biden’s final Thanksgiving, the survey found that the cost of the traditional dinner had risen 24 percent compared with when he took office.

The Farm Bureau said this year’s overall decline was driven primarily by a drop in the price of turkey.

A 16-pound turkey will cost an average of $21.50, a reduction of 16 percent from last year.

Three other items in the fixed basket—cubed stuffing, fresh cranberries, and dinner rolls—also fell in price.

Five items increased in cost: sweet potatoes, frozen green peas, a vegetable tray including carrots and celery, whole milk, and whipping cream.

Prices for pumpkin pie mix and pie shells were nearly unchanged from 2024.

Despite the price reduction, the report noted that the cost of the full meal remains above pre-inflation levels.

The Farm Bureau’s data continues to compare rising costs during the years of elevated inflation with the recent easing in prices.

This year’s decrease aligns with President Donald Trump’s recent remarks that Thanksgiving dinner has become more affordable for American families.

The price decline followed predictions that trade and immigration policies under the Trump administration would lead to higher food costs, projections that did not materialize in the Farm Bureau’s findings.

Kristi Noem Accuses ‘Democrats of Running a Shadow Government Through a Maze of NGOs’

War Secretary Kristi Noem announced that federal grant funding to nongovernmental organizations accused of assisting illegal immigration has been halted, telling Fox News host Will Cain that the move follows a review of how taxpayer dollars were being used by agencies distributing grants.

Noem said the action was taken to stop federal money from supporting operations she described as contributing to illegal border crossings.

“Today, we are announcing that we have stopped all grant funding that’s being abused by NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration into this country,” Noem said.

She stated that “hundreds of millions of dollars” had been directed to organizations involved in what she called an “invasion of our country.”

Noem said she ordered a reevaluation of those grants to “make sure that we’re actually using the taxpayer dollars in a way that strengthens this country, that keeps us safe.”

She said the review includes examining how grants are awarded and ensuring those funds are no longer used in ways that could contribute to illegal entry.

“That evaluation needs to be done. We’re not spending another dime to help the destruction of this country,” she said.

Noem added that the decision aligns with President Donald Trump’s directives on border security.

“We’re going to make sure that we follow through on what President Trump has promised, and that’s to make sure that we’re securing our border, departing those who are here illegally and committing criminal actions, and that our taxpayer dollars aren’t spending, aren’t spent to help it.”

During the segment, Cain said many Americans may not be aware of the extent to which NGOs are involved in operations linked to illegal immigration.

“And Madam Secretary, I don’t think people fully understand the role that NGOs play. Many NGOs play in facilitating illegal immigration,” Cain said. He pointed to federal spending figures, noting that “over $380 million did in 2024 for sheltering and service programs for illegal immigrants,” and said that a “vast network of NGOs” operates along routes through Central and South America.

Cain said these groups assist individuals moving through Panama and Mexico before reaching the United States.

“So what you’re telling us today is that now stops, at least the federal funding of that stops,” he said.

Noem confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security has ceased the use of federal dollars for these organizations.

“Yes. Through the Department of Homeland Security, we have stopped spending those dollars to fund those NGOs,” she said.

Noem added that officials learned many of the groups receiving funding have active operations on the Mexico side of the border.

She said some organizations are “telling those illegal immigrants to come to them and they will get them across the border,” describing activities outside the United States that assist individuals seeking to cross illegally.

Noem also discussed how she previously viewed NGOs and how her understanding changed as she observed their development.

“I was one of those Americans that years ago when somebody said NGO to me, I thought, Oh, that’s amazing. That’s a nonprofit that’s out there telling somebody about Jesus or spreading faith and salvation or doing good work and charitable work helping people that are less fortunate,” she said.

She said she later concluded that some NGOs had shifted away from those roles.

“Then I realized over the years, it’s been perverted into this shadow government. An NGO is sometimes an operation that does things that the government cannot do, can’t legally do. So they create an entity to use government dollars, taxpayer dollars, to do something that the federal government isn’t allowed to do, to do a shadow government operation that really has been used recently to undermine our country’s national security.”

The review of federal grants and the halt in funding remain in effect as DHS and other agencies continue assessing programs connected to nonprofit organizations operating along the border and outside the United States.

Massive Cargo Ship Blaze Rocks Los Angeles Port, Shelter in Place Orders Issued

Nearly 200 firefighters responded to a large fire aboard a cargo ship docked at the Port of Los Angeles on Friday night, after officials declared a major emergency.

All 23 crew members on board were evacuated without injury.

According to the Daily Breeze, the fire was first reported at approximately 6:38 p.m. local time.

Authorities said the blaze began as an electrical fire below deck while the ship was carrying hazardous cargo. By around 7 p.m., the fire had spread across several levels of the 1,102-foot vessel.

Officials reported that the situation escalated when an explosion occurred in the mid-deck area as the fire continued to grow.

Fire crews worked to contain the blaze as smoke spread across nearby neighborhoods.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued a public notice advising communities near the port to remain indoors.

“A shelter in place order is in effect for communities surrounding the Port of Los Angeles, including San Pedro and Wilmington,” she said.

“Remain at home, keep windows closed and turn off HVAC systems. Emergency responders continue attacking the container ship fire.”

The Port of Los Angeles is recognized as the busiest port in North America.

The vessel involved in the incident, the One Henry Hudson, is operated by One Ocean Express, a Singapore-based shipping company.

Before arriving in Los Angeles, the ship had recently traveled through Japan, with stops in Kobe, Nagoya, and Tokyo.

A spokeswoman for Ocean Network Express confirmed the incident in a statement to the Daily Mail.

“Ocean Network Express (ONE) has been alerted to a fire onboard the 2008-built Panama-flagged container vessel, M/V ONE HENRY HUDSON,” she said.

“ONE can confirm that the vessel is time-chartered and all crew have been safely accounted for.”

The company said it is closely following developments.

“ONE is deeply concerned by this incident and is closely monitoring the situation. We thank first responders onsite and remain fully committed to supporting incident management and subsequent investigations,” the spokeswoman added.

Fire crews continued operations Friday night as officials monitored conditions on and around the vessel.

Authorities have not released additional details on the cause of the electrical fire or the specific hazardous materials on board.

Kevin Spacey Says He’s Now Homeless After Years of Allegations and Sex Scandals

Kevin Spacey said he no longer has a permanent place to live after years of legal battles and public allegations that he has repeatedly denied.

The two-time Academy Award winner discussed his circumstances in a November 19 interview with The Telegraph, explaining how the fallout from the accusations has led to major financial strain and the loss of his longtime residence.

Spacey said the allegations, made by more than a dozen men, never resulted in a conviction, but they still had a significant effect on his life.

He lost the Baltimore, Maryland, home where he lived for 12 years and now relies on temporary lodging.

“Because the costs over these last seven years have been astronomical,” he said.

“I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out.”

He told The Telegraph that the shift from a stable career to years of litigation and public scrutiny left him rebuilding his life.

“You get through it,” Spacey said.

He added that his belongings are in storage and that he hopes to eventually choose a permanent place to live.

“In weird ways, I feel I’m back to where I first started, which is I just went where the work was. Everything is in storage, and I hope at some point, if things continue to improve, that I’ll be able to decide where I want to settle down again.”

Spacey described his current living situation in direct terms.

“I’m living in hotels, I’m living in Airbnbs,” he said.

“I’m going where the work is. I literally have no home, that’s what I’m attempting to explain.”

He said offers have come from first-time filmmakers willing to cast him in new projects, even as major studios keep their distance.

“We are in touch with some extremely powerful people who want to put me back to work,” he told The Telegraph.

“And that will happen in its right time. But I will also say what I think the industry seems to be waiting for is to be given permission – by someone who is in some position of enormous respect and authority.”

Spacey said his financial condition is “Not great,” though he noted he has managed to avoid bankruptcy.

“It was discussed, but it never got to that point,” he said.

In recent years, Spacey has won multiple legal cases connected to the accusations raised against him.

In 2023, a London court acquitted him of sexual assault charges brought by four men who said incidents occurred between 2001 and 2013.

In 2022, he was found not liable in a civil lawsuit filed by actor Anthony Rapp, who alleged Spacey molested him in 1986 when Rapp was 14 years old.

Spacey said the combination of legal outcomes and ongoing industry hesitation has left him navigating work on a project-by-project basis while he waits to see whether his career will stabilize.

Dem Senator Van Hollen Found a New ‘Maryland Mom’ Criminal Illegal Alien to Go to Bat For

A Department of Homeland Security official responded Wednesday to remarks from Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland) after he claimed that the Trump administration was preparing to deport what he described as an innocent mother and business owner from his district.

DHS later confirmed that the woman, identified as 44-year-old Melissa Tran, is an illegal alien from Vietnam with criminal convictions and a final order of removal.

Sen. Van Hollen posted on X about Tran’s case, writing, “Melissa Tran came here on a Green Card at age 11. She’s since raised 4 kids, started a business, and is a beloved member of the Hagerstown community. Trump is deporting her, despite a judge saying she poses no threat. Is she the ‘worst of the worst’? Do you feel safer yet?”

His post referenced a news article about her situation.

Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at DHS, responded to the senator on X with additional details.

“Omitting some pesky facts, Senator. Mong Tuyen Thi Tran, is a criminal illegal alien from Vietnam, with criminal convictions including grand larceny, multiple counts of forgery and fraud. An immigration judge issued her a final order of removal in 2004–over 20 years ago,” she wrote.

The senator’s post received a community note on the platform.

Sen. Van Hollen drew national attention earlier this year when he traveled to El Salvador to advocate for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an MS-13 gang member cited in domestic violence allegations.

Social media users questioned the senator’s characterization of Tran’s case.

One user wrote, “Great community note, Chris. Have you ever met a criminal you wouldn’t go to bat for?”

Another said, “Her green card was revoked in 2003 following a felony theft conviction. Seems like 22 years is plenty of time to resolve the citizenship challenge.”

Another comment read, “Feeling safer already!! Woooo support your local ICE raid!!”

According to McLaughlin, Tran was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in May.

The Banner reported that Tran, who operated a nail salon, had been detained at an ICE facility in Washington state until a judge ordered her release in October.

After Vietnam approved her passport for return, ICE arrested Tran again in Baltimore on Friday.

Her removal proceedings resumed following approval of travel documentation.

Tran is currently held at an ICE facility in Louisiana.
