Jessica Watkins is a US veteran and recently released American political prisoner who was charged with a litany of offenses after she walked into the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, assisted police, and left the building 23 minutes later.

Jessica is part of the Oath Keepers organization. Jessica was arrested in January 2021.

During her torture, while she was confined, Jessica was stripped naked and left in a cell with lights on for 24 hours a day for four days. Jessica also suffered physical abuse by the guards while she served time in prison.

Jessica, a US veteran, was found guilty in November of crimes she never committed. The corrupt DC judge would not allow Jessica or her fellow defendants to cross-examine the fraudulent fed informants who lied about her during the trial.

The DOJ is a vicious security arm of the Democrat Party and Jessica was another victim of the Biden regime.

The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft spoke with Jessica after her release. Jessica has an amazing story of strength and integrity.

Before she was arrested in 2021, the FBI raided her home, threw flashbangs, and shot out the windows.

Jessica Watkins:
So I left for a while. I left for four days. And eventually, my fiancé called me and said, “Hey, the FBI just raided.” They used the Joint Terrorism Task Force. They just threw flashbangs throughout the whole house. They threw a flashbang at our dog. They shot out the windows. They had a drone that they were flying around.

I was like, “Oh, okay.” I was in Virginia at the time. I drove all the way back to Ohio and turned myself in. I got locked up. I did four years and three days after that.

Jim Hoft:
When the FBI did this, your fiancé was at home, the dog was home. Did you guys live out in the country in Ohio, or were you in the city?

Jessica Watkins:
I jokingly call it the “War of Woodstock.” It was Woodstock, Ohio. It was a little town of 300 people. We owned the only business in town. It was a tiny little one-stoplight town. There were as many FBI agents and law enforcement officers as there were citizens.

Jessica then spoke about how she was stripped naked and held in a cell for four days.

Jessica Watkins: I was in solitary confinement everywhere I went. So they did my arraignment, and then I waived my right to a bond hearing until I got to Washington. So I moved from there to the Butler County Jail, where I was severely mistreated. I had a broken arm. I had a broken arm on January 6th. And so they took all my protections away. My arm was visibly deformed and still green and purple.

And so, yeah. And so they booked me into the Butler County Jail, and they just gave me an ace bandage, and then they took that away. And they said, well, we don’t think you need anything. And there was no bed. There’s nothing. I

‘m literally sleeping in a tray on the floor… I ended up saying, hey, if you don’t fix my arm, I’m going to go on a hunger strike! As soon as I said that, they stripped me naked.

They threw me in this glass booth. They paraded me through the jail without any clothes. It was very humiliating. And then they stuck me glass booth in the intake lobby, and then they left me there for four days. The lights wouldn’t turn off. They’d wake me up every 15 minutes, and they would harass me.

The prison guards sent Jessica to the men’s wing of the DC Gulag prison for several weeks. Jessica transitioned to a woman after she left the military in the early 2000s.

Eventually, Jessica was moved to the women’s side of the prison—after a year and a half.

Jessica also spoke about a mysterious witness who the Biden DOJ brought in to testify against her and the Oath Keepers on trial with her. Jessica says she had no idea who this guy was. None of the Oath Keepers had seen him before, and the government dragged him into court to lie and testify against them.

Jim Hoft:
There was one other thing that we were talking about—some individual who was a witness. You say you’re not familiar with this person. You didn’t know who he was. You don’t know why he was a witness. And yet they called him in, and he also has a shady background. Reportedly, he was caught with some sex charges or something. But he was testifying against you?

Jessica Watkins:
So there was this audio—it was like a conference call we did.

Back in, let’s see, what day was it? It was back in November of 2020. We were coordinating a detail, like we do, to protect the rallygoers because Antifa and others were showing up. We were putting together a plan to protect these people from Antifa. They like to throw bottles and rocks and attack protesters—Trump supporters.

And so we were there to do that. He recorded this audio and then was like, “Well, this sounds like some scary anti-government stuff.” There’s nothing there, because we have the entire audio. We played it in trial.

So his testimony wasn’t needed. Turns out he was convicted and went to prison for nine years for the brutal rape of a child. And then, after he got out, he changed his name nine, ten times. He kept trying to hide his identity.

Originally, he had Islamic-type names, then Russian-type names. And when he came in, he was wrapped in one of those headscarves like they wear at Hamas protests…

So he came in wearing that. And we were like, “Who the heck is this guy? We have no idea who this guy is.”

Well, he had listened in to this audio. He had sneaked in somehow. He was trying to claim he was the leader of West Virginia Oath Keepers or something like that. He’s not allowed to be in the Oath Keepers.

The bylaws forbid him because he’s a felon. If you’re a felon, you’re instantly out. We do vetting.

And so this guy completely lied about his testimony. The FBI promised this guy a full clean slate, witness protection, a new identity—everything—if he would just testify against us.

Our attorneys exposed the fact that this guy is a child predator, that he was a convicted felon for it, and that he had committed perjury. He was not who he claimed to be.

The DC kangaroo court found Jessica guilty and sent her to prison for eight and a half years.

It was Donald Trump who released her from prison after four years!

This was a very interesting interview. Jessica is a wonderful person.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky torpedoed a crucial mineral deal with the United States—before he even set foot in the White House to meet with President Trump.

And now, thanks to Democrat Senator Chris Murphy, we have confirmation that Zelensky had already decided to sabotage the agreement after cozying up with anti-Trump lawmakers.

On Friday, Zelensky first met with a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators at the Hay Adams Hotel—mere steps away from the White House—where he was showered with praise from deep-state warmongers.

This elite gathering included usual suspects like:

• Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
• Jacky Rosen (D-NV)
• Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)
• Chris Murphy (D-CT)
• Peter Welch (D-VT)
• Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
• Chris Van Hollen (D-MD)
• Additionally, RINOs Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Roger Wicker (R-MS), and Charles Grassley (R-IA) were present at this closed-door gathering.

The goal? To ensure that Zelensky remained the poster boy for the endless Ukraine war at the expense of the American taxpayer.

Murphy himself admitted it. In a social media post, he gleefully declared that Zelensky was never going to accept President Trump’s mineral deal—an agreement Secretary of State Marco Rubio had already confirmed was a done deal.

“Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine,” Murphy wrote at 11:15 a.m. on Friday.

And so, less than an hour after meeting with the anti-Trump cabal, Zelensky walked into the White House not as a diplomat, but as an antagonist. In an embarrassing and petulant display, Zelensky:

• Disrespected President Trump and his Cabinet
• Spoke over both Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance
• Addressed VP Vance by his first name instead of his title
• Argued belligerently with the President
• Showed complete disregard for American interests

The reality is now clear: Zelensky never intended to engage in honest negotiations. He came to Washington not to secure peace but to prolong the war—a war that has devastated his own country while lining the pockets of defense contractors and corrupt politicians.

His refusal to honor the mineral deal is proof that he is beholden to the globalist elites who want perpetual conflict, not resolution.

President Trump and Vice President Vance saw through the charade and refused to let Zelensky manipulate the American people.

This was a defining moment that exposed the Ukrainian leader for what he truly is—a political opportunist who answers to the radical left and their agenda to undermine Trump at every turn.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed in an exclusive interview with Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle that this is the third time Zelensky has refused to sign a mineral agreement.

He recounted how Zelensky initially refused to sign the deal during a direct meeting with him in Kyiv. Subsequently, Zelensky dodged similar negotiations with Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

This was echoed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio during his interview with far-left CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins.

According to Rubio, this meeting could have been avoided had Zelenskyy signed it already rather than insisting on coming to D.C.

Marc Rubio: They insisted on coming to D.C. This agreement could have been signed five days ago, but they insisted on coming to Washington. And there was a very, and should have been a very clear understanding: don’t come here and create such a scenario where you’re going to start lecturing us about how diplomacy isn’t going to work.

President Zelenskyy took it in that direction, and it ended in a predictable outcome as a result. It’s unfortunate. That wasn’t supposed to be this way, but that’s the path he chose, and I think, frankly, it sends this country backwards in regards to achieving peace, which is what President Trump wants.

At the end of the day, he wants this war to end. He’s been as consistent as anyone can be about what his objective is here.

Elon Musk just dropped a bombshell on the Joe Rogan Experience, confirming what many Americans have long suspected—Washington, D.C. is a cesspool of corruption, and the Democrats are the primary beneficiaries.

“I think maybe three-quarters of the graft is Democratic. I think there’s maybe 20–25% that’s Republican,” Musk revealed, exposing how the system is rigged for political elites.

“Most of the graft is going to the Democrats, but they throw some bones to the Republicans too, so then they’re in on it.”

In a shocking but unsurprising exchange, Musk and Rogan discussed the absurd wealth accumulation of members of Congress, who are somehow able to transform their modest $170,000-a-year salaries into multimillion-dollar fortunes.

Musk didn’t hold back, stating, “It’s literally impossible” for these politicians to legally amass such wealth.

The conversation inevitably turned to one of the most notorious examples of Washington corruption: former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and his husband Paul Pelosi.

It can be recalled that Paul Pelosi dumped over $500,000 worth of Visa stock just weeks before the Department of Justice slapped the financial giant with an antitrust lawsuit.

Following the lawsuit’s announcement, Visa’s stock price plummeted by 5.5%, leading to speculation about the timing of Pelosi’s stock sale.

Former President Donald Trump has publicly called for Nancy Pelosi to face prosecution over the transaction, suggesting that the sale was not coincidental.

“Nancy Pelosi sold vast amounts of Visa stock one day before the big lawsuit that we all read about a few days ago,” Trump said. “She should be prosecuted… Nancy Pelosi should be prosecuted for that.” 

This incident is not isolated. The Pelosis have a history of fortuitously timed trades that have consistently outperformed the market, leading to widespread speculation about the use of nonpublic information for personal gain.

For instance, in 2023, their investment portfolio reportedly achieved a 65% return, significantly surpassing the S&P 500’s 24% gain. ​

Moreover, in 2022, Paul Pelosi purchased over $1 million in Nvidia call options just weeks before a congressional vote on substantial subsidies to the chip manufacturing industry, raising further eyebrows about potential conflicts of interest.

In the same year, Paul Pelosi dumped 20,000 shares of Google stock in December—a month before the Department of Justice and Merrick Garland filed their antitrust lawsuit.

Nancy Pelosi has consistently denied any wrongdoing, asserting that she does not own any stocks and has no involvement in her husband’s financial transactions.

Back to the interview, Musk proposed a radical solution—either pay politicians “nothing or a lot more” to reduce the incentive for bribery and corruption. But even he admitted that wouldn’t fully solve the problem. Rogan was quick to shoot the idea down.

Elon Musk:
Yeah. That’s why I actually posted on X—I think maybe we should pay politicians more, frankly, because it reduces the forcing function for graft. I think maybe we should either pay politicians nothing or a lot more. It’s somewhat counterintuitive, but if politicians got paid a lot more, then they wouldn’t feel like there’s such a forcing function for them to accept corrupt money.

Joe Rogan:
Yeah, but the problem is, even if you paid them a lot more, they’re still not going to make as much money as they would insider trading.

And Rogan is right. Washington is filled with career politicians who have zero interest in serving the American people. Their real goal? Power, money, and control.

Perhaps the most chilling part of the conversation was Musk’s admission that speaking out against the corruption machine could be a death sentence.

Joe Rogan:
Well, especially if it’s legal, and it currently is. You’d be silly not to do it. If you’re part of a group of people that’s passing a bill, and you know this bill is going to get passed, you know the votes are there, and you know it’s going to affect this industry and this particular manufacturer, and you can buy stock…

Elon Musk:
It’s more than just insider trading. The insider trading—the stock portfolio stuff—is quite trackable, but it’s a lot more than that.

Joe Rogan:
The way they’re acquiring wealth?

Elon Musk:
Correct.

Joe Rogan:
And what other methods?

Elon Musk:
I mean, this is really going to get me assassinated. I’m not lengthening my lifespan by explaining this stuff, to say the least. I mean, I was supposed to go back to D.C.—how am I going to survive? This broker is going to kill me for sure. In fact, I do think I actually have to be careful that I don’t push too hard on the corruption stuff because it’s going to get me killed. I was actually thinking about that on the flight over here—if I push too hard on the corruption stuff, people get desperate. That’s the issue.

WATCH:

Earlier this month, Elon Musk said DOGE will begin investigating federal government workers who have managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars.

“We do find it sort of odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have essentially a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars but somehow manage to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position,” Elon Musk said.

“We’re just curious as to where it came from. Whether they have very good investing in which that case we should take their investment advice perhaps,” Musk said. “They seem to be mysteriously getting wealthy and we don’t know why – where did it come from? I think the reality is that they are getting wealthier at the taxpayer expense.”

Elon Musk continued, “There are massive amounts of blank checks that just go out…”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has doubled down on his rejection of an immediate ceasefire in the war with Russia.

Speaking to the Financial Times after a weekend hobnobbing with European elites in London, Zelensky made it clear he’s willing to let Ukraine burn rather than negotiate a practical peace.

Zelensky’s latest outburst comes on the heels of a fiery confrontation with President Donald Trump at the White House last Friday, where the Ukrainian leader clashed with America’s commander-in-chief over Kyiv’s refusal to consider a ceasefire.

Trump, alongside his cabinets, has rightly argued that Ukraine should prioritize ending the bloodshed rather than clinging to fantasies of total victory over a military superpower.

“You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War Three. You’re gambling with World War Three, and what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country, far more than a lot of people say they should,” Trump told Zelensky.

More from FT:

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected calls for Ukraine to agree an immediate ceasefire in its war with Russia, saying it would be “failure for everyone” if a cessation of hostilities were not accompanied by detailed security guarantees.

The defiant Ukrainian president said he saw no need to make amends for an explosive row with Donald Trump at the White House on Friday or come up with a plan to salvage his relationship with the US president, although he restated his gratitude to the American people.

“This relationship will continue because this is more than a relationship in one moment,” Zelenskyy, who was speaking after meeting more than a dozen European leaders at a summit in London on Sunday, said in reference to the bust-up that shocked Kyiv’s allies.

Trump and his allies have said Kyiv should be willing to agree a ceasefire, a point echoed by Lord Peter Mandelson, the UK’s ambassador to Washington, on Sunday.

Zelenskyy said Russia’s failure to abide by a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine after invading in 2014 convinced him that it would be a mistake to agree to stop fighting without an enforcement mechanism backed up by military force.

“If you don’t have an end to the war and you don’t have security guarantees, no one is able to control a ceasefire,” Zelenskyy said from London’s Stansted airport as he prepared to fly back to Ukraine.

Let’s be clear: Zelensky’s stance isn’t noble—it’s delusional. He points to Russia’s violation of a 2014 ceasefire in eastern Ukraine as proof that no truce can hold without “enforcement mechanisms” backed by military might.

Fair enough—Vladimir Putin’s track record isn’t exactly spotless. But continuing a fight against a nation with one of the world’s largest nuclear arsenals—that’s not a strategy; it’s a suicide pact.

Zelensky criticized the notion of a ceasefire without robust security guarantees.

Zelenskyy’s pursuit of security guarantees encompasses binding military commitments and integration into Western defense structures like NATO.

President Donald Trump has already told Zelensky that providing security guarantees to Ukraine would be Europe’s responsibility.

“I know that France is going to (provide guarantees), I know the U.K. is going to… But we would have security in a different form. We would have workers there… digging,” Trump said on Friday.

“I am in the middle; I am for both Ukraine and Russia. I want to get it (Russia’s war against Ukraine) solved,” Trump added.
