Buckle up, America, because the reckoning liberals have dreaded for years might finally be upon us.

In July 2022, Gateway Pundit lawyers Marc Randazza and Jay Wolman of the Randazza Legal Group, along with GP General Counsel John Burns, filed a motion to intervene in the Guiffre v. Maxwell case in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

In August 2022, the federal judge overseeing the case denied Gateway Pundit’s efforts to unseal the documents.

HOWEVER, Gateway Pundit filed an appeal to the federal Second Circuit Court of Appeals, demanding that GP and the public be allowed to access the Epstein Sex Client list.

On February 27, 2023, a “John Doe” interested party (a person whose identity had been sealed by the court because of their affiliation with Epstein) filed a Brief opposing Gateway Pundit’s appeal and asking the Court of Appeals to deny the brief.

The “John Doe”’s arguments are extremely lame. “Doe” merely argues that Gateway Pundit waited too long to request the arguments. According to “Doe,” GP and the public have no interest in the Epstein sex client list because too much time has transpired.

Now, under the directive of President Donald Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi has confirmed that her office is actively reviewing Epstein-related documents—alongside classified files on JFK and MLK.

“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review,” Bondi said during a Fox News interview.

“That’s been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that. I’m reviewing JFK files, MLK files. That’s all in the process of being reviewed because that was done at the directive of the President from all of these agencies.”

When asked whether she had uncovered any major scandals, Bondi remained cautious, responding, “Not yet.”

WATCH:

Benny Johnson:
The scaring bad guy is something Kash has talked about a lot, and you have when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and the people who are predators in this country.

They’ve been given a pass, and a lot of Americans think that these guys have had to pass for a long time and are still being protected right now. Where are we at with the Jeffrey Epstein list, the documents? Kash has made a lot of public statements about this. Where are we at?

Pam Bondi:
I was briefed on that yesterday. I can’t talk about that publicly, but President Trump has given a very strong directive, and that’s going to be followed… A lot of documents.

Benny Johnson:
All right. So people can expect actual movement on this. It’s not just empty promises.

Pam Bondi:
Donald Trump doesn’t make empty promises. I think promises made, promises kept, and that’s why we’re all there to carry out his directive about making America safe and prosperous.

WATCH:

It can be recalled that last year, recently confirmed FBI Director Kash Patel announced that under President Donald Trump’s second administration, Americans should brace for unprecedented government transparency.

Patel stated that “massive declassification” will be among their top priorities, aiming to release troves of information previously shielded from public view.

In a recent interview with Benny Johnson, Patel revealed that massive declassification will occur in Trump’s administration, including explosive revelations from the infamous Epstein files to the shadowy “Diddy list.”

Kash Patel: “When we go back to the DOJ and FBI, we still don’t have all the lists, all the FISA documents, all of the things they did to 275,000 Americans illegally in one year. We need to put that out there. I’m not saying we reveal the exact methods, but we can keep the hood on the engine while showing the American people how their rights were violated.

To me, what you mentioned is the most important part: restoring trust in our agencies and departments. And the way to do that isn’t to treat them like a piñata, hoping for something good to pop out. The way to do it is by giving the American people the truth. And that’s what they feared about Donald Trump. He’s going to come in there and might just give them the Epstein list, the ‘Diddy list,’ and everything else they’re terrified of being exposed.”

The deep state can no longer keep these secrets buried. Unlike the weak-willed Biden administration—whose Justice Department worked overtime to shield the political elite—Trump is making sure Americans finally get the truth.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is also set to lead the newly established Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, a groundbreaking effort to bring long-hidden government files into the public eye. The task force will focus on unveiling critical documents related to:

• 9/11 Attacks
• Jeffrey Epstein and His Network
• JFK Assassination
• Sen. Robert F. Kennedy Assassination
• Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Assassination
• COVID-19 Origins and Government Response
• UFOs and Unexplained Aerial Phenomena

According to the press release:

Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), the chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, today provided an update on the panel’s efforts to declassify documents of public interest and sent a letter to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Attorney General Pam Bondi, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and White House Counsel David Warrington requesting an update on the plan to declassify documents under President Trump’s executive order on “Declassification of Records Concerning the Assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.”

In that letter, Rep. Luna requested a briefing for the task force on February 26, 2025, regarding the declassification of records pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and on March 17, 2025, regarding the declassification of records pertaining to the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  In addition to the briefings, she has requested, in writing, a hard date on when the documents President Trump ordered declassified will be made available to both the Task Force and public as well as where they are to be publicly located.

“All federal agencies are cooperating with the Task Force and will provide the requested briefings in the coming weeks. As we work to understand the full scope of federal documents related to key national secrets, we are preparing for the Task Force’s first hearing on March 26, which will examine the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In advance of the hearing, the Task Force will visit the assassination site in Dallas and speak with first-hand witnesses regarding President Kennedy’s assassination. We remain committed to delivering the transparency that Americans demand from their government,” said Rep. Luna.

On February 11, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Rep. Luna sent 11 letters to several agencies requesting briefings by February 18 on documents in their possession pertaining to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr; COVID-19 origins; unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and unidentified submerged objects (USOs); 9/11; and the Epstein client list.

The Task Force’s first hearing, scheduled for March 26, will be open to the public and the media.

Radicals in Boko Haram, Fulani tribes, blamed for murders, burning of entire homes.

Dozens of Christians have been slaughtered, and dozens more kidnapped, in a string of attacks by Islamists across the expanses of Nigeria, according to a new report.

It is Baptist Press that described the massacre that has been documented by Christian Daily International-Morning Star News across Nigeria since just late last month.

“At least three pastors were killed in attacks in Kaduna in north-central Nigeria and Gombe in northeastern Nigeria. In the most recent attack, Islamic extremist group Boko Haram is accused of killing Bala Galadima, an Evangelical Church Winning All pastor, in an attack at his home in Lubo, Gombe, on Feb. 9,” the report documented.

The violence that is estimated to have cost at least 50 lives so far is being blamed on Boko Haram, an Islamist gang, as well as Islamist Fulani tribesmen, with the violence being described as extreme.

Galadima, for example, reportedly was shot to death at point-blank range in his back while he was in his own bed at 1 a.m.

Another ECWA pastor, Bitrus Saleh Africa, was killed Feb. 5, with three other Christians, the report said.

Yet another ECWA pastor, “identified only as Rev. Ezekiel,” was killed Jan. 30 by attackers identified as Fulani bandits in Kaduna.

In what probably was the deadliest single attack, the report said, 16 people in The Lord Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry were murdered Feb. 2 when Fulani militants reportedly stormed a village in Ebonyi state.

International Christian Concern reported that attack culminated when the attackers burned down many homes.

Another six Christians were killed, eight kidnapped, and more homes were burned in three villages in Benue state.

A series of attacks from Jan. 27-Feb 1 in Plateau state left at least 11 Christians dead and more kidnapped.

“Dear God, please come to our aid. We need you here in Mangu, Plateau State. My heart bleeds,” CDI-Morning Star reported local resident Nanbam Denan texted to news outlets.

Another resident, identified as Bankat, said, “Terrorists we know to be Fulani herdsmen invaded Lightitlubang village and killed five Christians – a man, his wife and a child, alongside another Christian couple. The victims were slaughtered by the terrorists.”

Fulani tribespeople are predominantly Muslim and comprise numerous clans totaling millions in Nigeria.

Open Doors, the report said, ranked Nigeria as the 7th most dangerous country for Christians in its 2025 World Watch List.

It, in fact, remains the deadliest country for Christians, with 3,100 murdered during 2024.

It’s the end of an era.

Hooters is preparing to file bankruptcy in the coming months, according to Bloomberg News.

The restaurant chain known for waitresses in cheeky orange shorts and low-cut white tank tops is reportedly struggling with cash flow due to low foot traffic.

Zero Hedge reported:

The Atlanta-based casual dining chain has enlisted the legal muscle of Ropes & Gray to handle its restructuring, while turnaround specialists at boutique advisory firm Accordion Partners are helping sort out the financial mess, according to sources who requested anonymity while discussing private dealings. The bankruptcy process is expected to kick off within the next two months.

Hooters’ creditors aren’t sitting idly by either. Some debtholders have tapped investment banking powerhouse Houlihan Lokey Inc. for advice, underscoring the severity of the chain’s financial troubles.

Declining Sales and Mounting Debt

The company has been struggling with cash flow issues as customers increasingly flock to other casual dining and fast-casual options. In recent years, several Hooters locations have closed their doors, a clear sign that the once-popular brand known for its wings and waitstaff is facing an existential crisis.

Adding to the financial woes, Hooters took on significant debt in 2021, issuing about $300 million in asset-backed bonds. These bonds, structured as whole-business securitizations, used the company’s franchise fees and other assets as collateral—a move common among restaurant chains looking to leverage their brand value for quick cash.

The change from Karine Jean-Pierre to Karoline Leavitt as White House Press Secretary is one of the most significant upgrades in American political history.

On Friday, Leavitt again proved why she was a great choice to communicate President Trump’s agenda to the American people.

During a press conference Friday outside the White House, Leavitt intended to take questions from multiple reporters only for NBC’s Peter Alexander to hog most of the time with a series of leading questions designed to embarrass her and justify waste, fraud, and abuse.

Alexander started by ‘concern trolling’ over alleged complaints from voters in red districts regarding DOGE’s so-called “sloppy, chainsaw” approach and demanded a response.

And Alexander got more than he bargained for.

MUST WATCH: @PressSec smacks down Fake News loser @PeterAlexander as he tries to run cover for the WASTE, FRAUD, and ABUSE in the federal government.

“I love how the media takes a few critics when the overwhelming support for what this administration is doing,” Leavitt responded with a smile before citing several public polls backing up her statement.

Leavitt then quickly smacked down Alexander’s first attempt to interrupt her. “There should be no secret about the fact that this administration is committed to cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. The President campaigned on that promise and is actually delivering on that promise,” she continued.

“This is something Democrats have promised for decades. President Trump is just the first to get it done.”

Alexander then demanded to know whether the administration had turned over evidence proving there was actually government fraud.

“It’s a clever question. All Americans would agree that we should not be funding mastectomies in Mozambique or DEI programs. I think it’s fraudulent the American government has been ripping off taxpayers in this way.”

Leavitt then cited a recent report revealing $71 billion worth of fraud in social security payments. After Alexander took issue with her characterization of the report, Leavitt quickly dropped the final hammer.

“So are you defending $71 billion in fraud, Peter?” she asked. “Why is the media so against cutting waste, fraud, and abuse?” I don’t get it.”

“We will not be deterred from people like you and the press who are clearly adamantly opposed to cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s predicament is getting worse by the day.

A lawyer for the disgraced rap mogul, who is facing charges for sex trafficking, has said he can no longer continue as his legal representation.

Defense attorney Anthony Ricco has withdrawn as one of Diddy’s six defense attorneys, saying “under no circumstances” could he continue in the role.

“Although I have provided Sean Combs with the high level of legal representation expected by the court, under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs,” Ricco said in a statement to the court.

“There are sufficient reasons (related to the protections afforded by the attorney/client privilege) for brevity in my application for withdrawal as counsel in this case,” he continued.

He added that his decision would not delay Combs’ case and the trial will go ahead as scheduled.

Combs is facing charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals for prostitution.

In the Justice Department’s indictment, he is accused of organizing events where women were coerced into drug-fueled sexual activities.

Other allegations include kidnapping, physical abuse, and bribery, as well as abuse against minors.

Just this week, Combs sued NBC Universal over a documentary accusing him of being a serial murderer who had sex with underage girls.

“The entire premise of the Documentary assumes that Mr. Combs has committed numerous heinous crimes, including serial murder, rape of minors, and sex trafficking of minors, and attempts to crudely psychologize him,” his complaint claims.

“It maliciously and baselessly jumps to the conclusion that Mr. Combs is a ‘monster’ and ‘an embodiment of Lucifer’ with ‘a lot of similarities" to Jeffrey Epstein.'”

Combs has denied all charges against him and has pledged to prove his innocence.

He is currently being held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center and will go on trial in May.

If convicted on all charges, he is likely to spend the rest of his life in prison.
