A whistleblower within the General Services Administration (GSA) has exposed a $347 million contract awarded to transport unaccompanied minors across the United States.
GSA contract Specialist Clarissa Rippee revealed details of the contract after raising concerns about how the children are being treated during their transportation.
Red Voice Media reported that Rippee told James O’Keefe of the O’Keefe Media Group that her decision to speak out was based on the nature of the contract.

While stock indexes are posting record YTD gains, with the S&P 500 showing a 20% annual gain for the first time in more than 25 years, market melt-ups may conceal a juiced up economy. Is the next presidential administration being handed a live grenade? Parabolic government spending and a surge in public sector jobs gains may indicate the pin is out.
Even as markets soar, and per Druckenmiller, a Trump victory is baked into market indicators, there are signs the next Trump administration could reap a harvest of economic turmoil being sown now. Americans are coping with record low housing affordability under the Biden-Harris administration, and while wages have failed to keep up with inflation for generations, inflation has gone parabolic during the past four years.
Republican Florida Representative Byron Donalds and CNN host Jim Acosta clashed during an interview on Tuesday over former President Donald Trump’s recent remarks about the “enemy from within.”
Trump’s comments, made during an October 14 interview on Fox News, suggested the possible use of the National Guard or military to address any potential chaos on Election Day.
Acosta questioned Donalds about Trump’s reference to prominent Democrats, including California Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, as being “enemies from within.”
Donalds responded by defending Trump’s remarks in the context of unrest and political misconduct. “I know that Adam Schiff, when he was chairman of the Intelligence Committee, was leaking information to the press that was classified,” Donalds said.
He pointed out that this was one of the reasons former Speaker Kevin McCarthy removed Schiff from the Intelligence Committee.
Donalds labeled Schiff’s actions as politically motivated and dangerous, particularly in the context of his role in handling sensitive information.
Regarding Trump’s remarks, Donalds emphasized that Trump was addressing concerns over potential unrest, similar to what occurred during the 2020 protests and riots in various cities across the country. “If you just go back to the summer of 2020, the Summer of Love like the left likes to talk about, you had riots in every major city in the country. That is very dangerous, and that is very concerning,” Donalds added.
Acosta pressed Donalds on whether it was appropriate for Trump to label Pelosi and Schiff as “enemies from within” and questioned if Donalds would support their arrest. Donalds firmly denied any support for arresting political opponents, stating, “Absolutely not.”
He clarified that Trump was not calling for Pelosi or Schiff to be arrested, but was expressing concern about how they might respond if Trump were to win re-election.
The discussion shifted to Schiff’s role in promoting claims of Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia during the 2016 election, which Donalds argued was based on false intelligence. “Adam Schiff laundered phony intelligence into the political system,” Donalds stated, reiterating his point that Schiff had engaged in dangerous political behavior.
A bar complaint has been filed against former Congresswoman Liz Cheney by attorney Stefan Passantino, who previously represented Cassidy Hutchinson, a key witness in the January 6 investigation.
The complaint, filed with the D.C. Bar, accuses Cheney of unethical communication with Hutchinson without Passantino’s knowledge or approval during her preparation for further testimony before the Democrat-led January 6 Select Committee.
The complaint comes after a Just the News report revealed that Cheney, who served as vice chairwoman of the committee, allegedly communicated with Hutchinson via the Signal messaging app without informing Passantino.
Passantino has stated that he was unaware of the communications at the time and had not authorized them.
He is now calling for the bar to conduct an ethics investigation into Cheney’s actions.
These private communications were uncovered during an investigation by Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk’s House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight.
This subcommittee is conducting a broader investigation into the security failures surrounding the events of January 6 and the subsequent partisan investigation led by the committee.
Former Clinton strategist James Carville has sounded the alarm this week claiming that former president Donald Trump will arrest them all if he is elected in November.
During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Beat,” Carville told host Ari Melber.”
“Trump goes out, and he says I’m going to use the military to arrest my political enemies, and then Mike Johnson’s and Lindsey Graham, and the Wall Street Journal editorial pages say oh no, that’s not what he meant and then he comes back and says yeah, that’s exactly what I meant.”
“You know what’ll happen? You pointed it out; if he wins, he will say, I told people I was going to do this,” Carville said.
“I have the legitimacy of an election behind me, and he will have a point.”
He continued: “People say what’s at stake in this election, okay, the Constitution is at stake, the whole idea of I don’t know if you call a constitutional republic, whatever highbrow people call it, I get it, we live under a set of laws is literally at risk, and he is telling you that.”
“People want to know about weakness among males of color. They are going to arrest all of you,” he added.
“You don’t think you have a stake in this election. Guess what? You are not going to do very well. I’m not going to do well. You are not going to do well.”
“When the paddywagon comes, you and I are going to be in the back of it, bouncing around, and it’s not going to be very much fun, and they will tell you, the judge said, I’m sorry, Mr. Melber, I’m sorry Mr. Carville, Trump said he was going to get rid of the Constitution, I have no choice but to enforce the democratic laws of this country. That will happen. It’s not far-fetched.”
After months of local and national media priming the pump for ambiguous or delayed results on election day, Georgia has become the latest state to say the count could be delayed beyond Nov. 5.
Georgia joins Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, as well as Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina — each a critical swing state with thin margins — in expecting delayed results on election night. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger has said the count in that state could be held up for votes from overseas.
Claims of late-night ballot dumps, states called prematurely, or Georgia’s inability to audit ballots in Fulton County, became a convenient slur for Democrats and legacy media to smear Trump supporters as conspiracy theorists or “election-deniers.” But the slurs and lack of sunlight from officials, including officials fighting calls for transparency tooth and nail, now exacerbated by the specter of delayed results, have done little to inspire confidence in the system itself, and therein lies the problem. Will the threat of delayed results add fuel to the fire?
Steelworkers from the Pittsburgh area attending a rally for former President Donald Trump shared their views on how his steel tariffs have positively impacted their jobs.
The tariffs, enacted during Trump’s presidency in 2018, have been credited by workers for helping to preserve their livelihoods in a challenging industry.
Brian Pavlack, a steelworker who spoke at the event in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, expressed gratitude for the opportunity for his fellow union members to meet Trump. “It’s all about my members to me, you know, meet Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump kind of saved all of our jobs with those tariffs,” Pavlack told the hosts of “Fox and Friends.”
In recent months, Trump has intensified his efforts to secure the support of union workers as he campaigns for the White House in 2024.
Notably, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), which backed Joe Biden in the 2020 election, announced on October 3 that it would refrain from endorsing any presidential candidate for the upcoming election.
This followed the International Brotherhood of Teamsters’ decision not to endorse either Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris.
During the segment, co-host Lawrence Jones asked Glenn Thomas, another steelworker, why many in the industry, traditionally aligned with Democrats, were supporting Trump this time. “Historically, we’ve all been Democrats,” Thomas replied.
He highlighted a trade case led by former International President Tom Conway against China for illegal dumping, which set the stage for Trump’s tariffs. “When President Trump stepped in and imposed those tariffs on the Chinese, I firmly believe he saved the steel industry, not only in our country but in Mon Valley, where many of us have lived for close to 30 years,” Thomas added.
Former NFL star Antonio Brown is stepping into the political arena with a new initiative aimed at getting Pennsylvania voters registered for the upcoming election.
On Friday, Brown, known for his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, announced his voter registration efforts via a post on X, formerly Twitter.
“Steeler Nation see you on Sunday at the game. Before then make sure to sign up to vote in this year’s election,” Brown wrote, indicating that he plans to make an in-person appearance at the Steelers’ game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night to promote voter registration.
Brown also posted what appeared to be a screenshot of a message exchange with Senator J.D. Vance, Trump’s running mate, where Vance expressed his eagerness to meet with the former NFL wide receiver.
Donald Trump’s visit to the Acrisure Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 20 upset the right people, namely the mainstream media.
The former president stopped off at the NFL during his visit to Pennsylvania, which also saw him work his first shift in McDonald’s. He watched on as the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the New York Jets 37-15, much to the delight of the home crowd.
It wasn’t just the scenes on the pitch which got the tens of thousands in attendance roaring on their feet. Trump’s presence, which was only aired once by host broadcaster NBC, prompted loud chants of “U-S-A” during the game.
The Republican candidate clearly enjoyed his visit to Pittsburgh, and even posted an AI-generated image of him donning a Steelers uniform in playing conditions on Truth Social. Remarkably, Newsweek decided this obviously fake image needed clarification, dedicating an entire article to Trump’s post.
Noting that Trump’s torso and arms “have also been altered to appear more muscular than they do in other photos”, Newsweek confirmed their suspicions through two AI-detectors.
The hilarity of the article was picked up by many, including X CEO Linda Yaccarino and owner Elon Musk.
Democrats have a new political nemesis: Jill Stein.
The Green Party candidate has not been canceled. She has not posted a meme which a leftist has found offensive, nor has she proposed strict border controls after years of migrant influx; yet, she poses one of the biggest threats to the leftist agenda.
Stein, much like Donald Trump, is running as her party’s nominee for the third time following previous campaigns in 2012 and 2016. Her second effort – during which Trump won the election – was considerably more successful with more than 1.4 million votes across the country.
While that might not sound like a sizeable number, Stein’s presence can swing this year’s election, thus boosting Trump’s chances of re-entering the White House. Such a scenario would be an almost identical replica of 2016, where votes for the Green Party candidate outweighed the margin of Trump’s victory in certain swing states.
Ultimately, the Green Party’s values and beliefs align more closely with the Democrats’ than the GOP. In essence, most of Stein’s voters would be more likely to lean towards Kamala Harris than former president Trump.
A vote for Stein hurts the Democrats far, far more than it would the Republican Party, and that is problematic for the Harris campaign.
Of the seven swing states up for grabs in this election, leads Harris in three (North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia). The remainder are neck-and-neck, although all bar Pennslyvania have seen small but notable Democratic leads since the Vice President entered the race in July.
However, with a resurgent Trump closing the gap across the country, the two candidates are level-pegging in Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Stein’s 1% in each state, therefore, could cost Harris the election, and liberals are in meltdown…
Third party voters also chipped in with their views.
