Faye Hall, an American detained in Afghanistan by the Taliban since February, has now been released.

According to CNN, Hall was released Thursday “following a court order and with logistical support from Qatar,” which has been mediating on the US’ behalf, the source said. She was detained in the country on charges of using a drone without authorization.

Zalmay Khalilzad, the US’ former ambassador to Afghanistan, shared the news on X.

“American citizen Faye Hall, just released by the Taliban, is now in the care of our friends, the Qataris in Kabul, and will soon be on her way home. Thank you, #Qatar, for your ongoing and steadfast partnership.”

Hall shared her appreciation of President Trump with a video message shared to social media.

“Mr. President,” Hall shared.  “I voted for you twice. First of all, I’m so glad you’re in the office. It’s the new era. And in this situation, I’m glad you’re the President. And thank you for bringing me home.”

“And I’ve never been so proud to be an American citizen.”

“Thank you, Mr. President. And I just want you to know all the women in the Afghan jail, they always ask me, ‘When is Trump coming?’”

“You, truly, they just treat you like their savior. They’re waiting for you to come and set them free and just sends regards and just don’t want to forget all those women are still in jail and don’t have any rights.”

“So thank you, Mr. President, and God bless you.”

Elon Musk set the record straight on Sunday in a fiery rally held to support Judge Brad Schimel’s bid for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, blasting the media’s fear-mongering over Medicaid cuts under President Trump.

Musk, who has become an unlikely but powerful voice in the fight for transparency and government accountability, didn’t hold back.

Addressing a packed crowd, Musk warned of the high-stakes battle for control of America’s institutions.

“This race could impact the future of America and Western Civilization.”

With Democrats hoping to weaponize a far-left court to redraw congressional districts, Musk emphasized that GOP control of the House is hanging in the balance.

But the rally took an even more electric turn when Musk invited longtime ally Antonio Gracias—Founder of Valor Equity Partners and key figure in Musk’s digital government efficiency project known as DOGE—to reveal what they’ve uncovered in their ongoing investigation into Social Security and Medicaid records.

Gracias dropped a bombshell: under Joe Biden’s administration, the number of non-citizens receiving Social Security numbers skyrocketed from 270,000 in 2021 to an astonishing 2.1 million in 2024.

Musk followed up with a bold promise, dismantling the latest round of media lies that falsely claimed Trump and conservatives were planning to gut Medicaid and Social Security.

“DOGE will make sure you get your Social Security,” Musk said to thunderous applause. “DOGE will make sure you get your Medicaid. There will be no cuts to legitimate payments—whatsoever.”

According to the White House press release earlier this month:

The Trump Administration will not cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits. President Trump himself has said it (over and over and over again).

Elon Musk didn’t say that, either. The press is lying again.

Here is Musk’s direct quote: “The waste and fraud in entitlement spending — which is most of the federal spending is entitlements — so, that’s, like, the big one to eliminate. That’s the, sort of half-trillion, maybe $6-700 billion a year.”

And he’s exactly right.

• FACT: The U.S. Government Accountability Office estimates taxpayers lose as much as $521 billion annually to fraud — and most of that is within entitlement programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid.
• FACT: Over the past two decades, the federal government has made an estimated $2.7 trillion in “improper payments” — the majority of which come in the form of “payments to deceased individuals or those who no longer [are] eligible for government programs.”
• FACT: The Social Security Administration made an estimated $72 billion in improper payments between 2015 and 2022.
• FACT: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services estimated it made $140+ billion in improper payments in 2024 alone.

What kind of a person doesn’t support eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending that ultimately costs taxpayers more?

The US Secret Service is accused of failing to respond to an insider threat at the agency – and retaliated against the whistleblower who reported the threat during the Biden Administration.

News of the insider threat comes less than one year after two assassination attempts against President Trump – one in Butler, Pennsylvania (July 13) – and another attempt at his Mar-a-Lago golf course (September 15).

According to RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree, the Secret Service hired an applicant who failed the terrorism section of the polygraph test.

Failing a polygraph test typically disqualifies a Secret Service applicant – however, the agency has a dangerous ‘friends and family’ loophole which allows people with certain connections to retake the polygraph test more than once.

The agency allowed this ‘insider threat’ to evaluate others’ security clearances, according to a whistleblower.

The whistleblower claims they were retaliated against, forced to resign and now the agency is threatening to revoke their security clearance.

“Instead of investigating the individual for posing a potential threat to the agency and the top U.S. officials it protects, including the president and the vice president, the agent alleges he was retaliated against and forced to resign after serving more than 20 years in the Secret Service. The agent who reported the insider threat concerns alleges that agency officials are continuing to retaliate against him by threatening his security clearance if he doesn’t drop his legal complaints,” Susan Crabtree reported.

Per RealClearPolitics:

The Secret Service never investigated internal reports of an insider threat to the agency and separately allowed an applicant who failed the polygraph terrorism section to be hired and serve in a position evaluating security clearances for fellow agents, according to a former agent whistleblower who has reported his complaints to Congress.

The former senior agent, who served in a supervisory role when he reported the suspected insider threat during the Biden administration, also raised concerns about the agency’s failure to implement a mental health screening test for applicants. (The FBI, the CIA, and numerous police departments around the country require mental-health screening tests for all applicants.)

Even though the Secret Service is tasked with protecting the president, vice president, and other high-level federal government officials, it doesn’t have a similar mental health screening system for its applicants. It’s unclear if the agency is planning to implement one after the two assassination attempts against President Trump last year.

Problems with Secret Service agents fighting and excessively drinking have plagued the agency for years.

Last year a female secret service agent assigned to Kamala Harris got into a physical fight with other agents at Joint Base Andrews.

According to reports, the problem agent, identified as Michelle Herczeg, began acting aggressively, speaking gibberish and shouting incoherently at other agents while they were near the lounge at JBA.

Herczeg reportedly threw menstrual pads at another agent before getting into a brawl a JBA.

RealClearPolitics previously reported that Herczeg grabbed a male agent’s personal cell phone and began deleting apps on it before she completely melted down.

Agent Herczeg had to be physically restrained and her firearm was taken away from her. She was handcuffed and taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

“Herczeg then chest-bumped and shoved her superior, then tackled him and punched him. The agents involved in restraining Herczeg were especially concerned because she still had her gun in the holster. They wrestled her to the ground, took the gun from her, cuffed her, and then removed her from the terminal,” RealClearPolitics reported.

It remains an open question whether far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) will face justice for her unprovoked attack on an intrepid journalist who confronted her in the hallway even as interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia has weighed in.

As The Gateway Pundit reported , Loomer Unleashed DC Correspondent Charles Downs last Tuesday attempted to confront Crockett about her disgusting remarks about Tesla and Musk as she walked down a hallway. She initially tried to ignore Downs while laughing and talking to Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN).

Downs, though, continued to pursue Crockett and asked her to clarify her anti-Tesla comments. Right before the video ended, Crockett lost her temper and tried to steal the journalist’s phone.

Crockett’s long fingernails scratched the top of Downs’s hand, leaving a red mark and indentations. This seemingly qualified as an assault, inadvertent or not.

Laura Loomer responded to the incident by demanding that House Speaker Mike Johnson censure Crockett for attacking Downs and for the congresswoman to be investigated.

On Thursday, Downs was interviewed by Capitol Hill police, who told him that they had referred the report to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. As TGP readers know, MAGA champion Ed Martin is the office’s interim United States Attorney.

Martin responded to the Crockett incident with Downs this afternoon.

“As I have said from Day One, no one is above the law,” Martin wrote on X. “The matter is currently under review by law enforcement authorities.”

“If it is referred to the U.S. Attorney’s office, we will follow the proper procedures to determine whether charges are appropriate,” he added.

Loomer expressed gratitude for Martin’s candor but noticed a concerning element in his statement, which raises doubts about the Capitol police.

“His (Martin’s) statement implied that the Capitol Police have not yet referred the police report to the US Attorney’s office, despite the fact that US Capitol Police told Charles Downs last week that they referred the police report to the US Attorney’s office, she wrote. “Why are the Capitol police lying?”

If Loomer is correct, this would be another despicable example of the two-tiered law enforcement on the part of the Capitol Police. Recall how some assaulted peaceful J6 protesters and even killed one. All because these Americans were exercising their First Amendment rights.

Ashley St. Clair, 26, the conservative influencer who shocked the internet last month and claimed Elon Musk fathered her youngest son, broke her silence over the weekend.

“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” Ashley St. Clair wrote last month.

“I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.

“I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting,” she concluded.

Elon Musk has not publicly acknowledged St. Clair’s youngest son as his own.

Last month St. Clair sat down for an interview with the New York Post, where she shed more light on her alleged romance with Musk and the subsequent fallout.

She described Musk as “funny” and “down to Earth,” but also accused the billionaire of wanting to keep their baby hidden from the public.

“My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me. I wouldn’t change anything,” St. Clair told The Post.

On Saturday, Ashley St. Clair, who lives in a luxury Manhattan apartment reportedly paid for by Musk, said she sold her $100,000 Model S Tesla because Elon Musk slashed her child support.

“I’m selling it because I need to make up for the 60 percent cut that Elon made to our son’s child support,” St. Clair said.

“Do you feel like he was sort of, like, vindictive against you in some way?” the reporter asked St. Clair.

“Yeah, that’s his modus operandi, when women speak out,” she said.

St. Clair said she hasn’t spoken to Elon Musk since February 13.
