Edward Coristine, better known online as “Big Balls”, confirmed on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime that his grandfather was no ordinary Soviet spy. He was a Cold War double-agent who risked everything to betray the communist USSR for America.

This stunning admission came as Coristine recounted the terrifying night in Washington, D.C. when he was beaten by a mob of 10 violent teens while defending his girlfriend during an attempted carjacking.

President Trump, outraged by the lawlessness, shared photos of Coristine’s bloodied face and swiftly federalized D.C. to crack down on crime in the lawless capital.

Coristine revealed to Watters that his grandfather was embedded deep within the Soviet KGB’s elite “Line X.”

Line X was the operating arm of the KGB Directorate “T,” which focused on scientific and technical intelligence collection from the West.

Its mission was to identify, acquire, and copy Western technologies, blueprints, designs, and research (often military or dual-use) that could help Soviet industry and defense.

But instead of faithfully serving Moscow, Martynov secretly betrayed the communist empire, passing vital intelligence to the CIA and FBI during the height of the Cold War.

Edward Coristine:
I feel this great responsibility to serve my country. My grandfather was this KGB double agent for the Americans, and he died so that I could come here and live in this free country that I love so much. When I started seeing these problems that we've got as a government—like this $37 trillion national debt and counting, and the interest on that is just absurd—I was like, “Wow, this is insane. Is there any way that I can help solve this?” In this administration, there was a chance. Of course, when I saw the opportunity, I signed right up.

Jesse Watters:
You got the big ones from your grandfather?

Edward Coristine:
I think I did, yeah.

Jesse Watters:
He was a double agent? What exactly was he doing?

Edward Coristine:
Well, he worked for Line X, which is like this sophisticated KGB line. But he actually joined the CIA, and he gave the CIA a bunch of valuable intel right around the Cold War.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported through independent journalist Jacob Silverman that Coristine’s grandfather was none other than Valery Martynov, a Soviet KGB officer stationed in Washington, D.C. in the 1980s who secretly betrayed Moscow for freedom.

Martynov, instead of serving the Communist empire, secretly passed intelligence to the FBI, exposing KGB operations and giving the United States a decisive edge in the Cold War.

But the betrayal came at a high price. KGB counterintelligence officer Victor Cherkashin, aided by infamous CIA traitor Aldrich Ames and FBI mole Robert Hanssen, uncovered Martynov’s secret. He was lured back to Moscow in 1985, arrested, and ultimately executed on May 28, 1987.

His widow, Natalya, and their children eventually emigrated to America. Their daughter Anna later married Charles Coristine, CEO of LesserEvil popcorn. Their son? Edward, “Big Balls” himself.

DOGE’s Edward ‘Big Balls’ Coristine Turns Out to be a Descendant of Soviet KGB Spy Who Betrayed the USSR for America: Report

Edward Coristine stands today not just as a victim of failed Democrat-run crime policies in D.C., but as the living grandson of a Cold War double-agent who gave his life for America.

Martynov betrayed the brutal Soviet regime for freedom. His grandson is now speaking out, on the streets and on national television, against crime, corruption, and a government drowning in $37 trillion of national debt.

The White House said Coristine could be in line for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.

The idea came during a White House press briefing when Benny Johnson asked if Trump might consider awarding the medal to Coristine for his “heroic actions just a few blocks from this building.”

Benny Johnson:
“In the heroic actions of a member of this administration, just a few blocks from this building, will the President consider giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Big Balls?”

Karoline Leavitt:
“I haven’t spoken to him about that, but perhaps it’s something he would consider. I’ll ask him and get back to you, Benny.”

RussiaGate was really ObamaGate. And it was TREASON.

The Trump DOJ needs to appoint a Special Prosecutor/Counselor to investigate RussiaGate. This is ‘The Conspiracy of the Century.” It is massive. It’s time to put it in the hands of a power pitbull Special Prosecutor.

Don’t wait another day- do it immediately.

This criminal conspiracy started while Obama was president. Either you assume Obama is a moron, and/or a helpless puppet, who stood by, unaware his DOJ, FBI, CIA and other intelligence agencies were targeting President Trump; or you understand the truth- Obama ordered it all, approved of it all, and coordinated it all.

Obama was (and still is) the head of the snake.

This massive conspiracy connects all the dots- from 2016 to today. Obama and his crew of criminal conspirators and communist comrades tried to rig and steal not one, not two, but three presidential elections.

And to make it all work, they had to eliminate President Trump. So, they conspired to frame him, indict him, convict him with rigged judges and juries; demonize him with a massive fraudulent sting operation on January 6th; and when all of that failed, they ordered two assassination attempts.

The only way to get to the bottom of this “Conspiracy of the Century” is to hire a team of legal pitbull prosectors to go after all the participants- Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, Hillary, etc- and then threaten them all with life in prison…preferably at Gitmo…and then offer immunity if they finger “the capo di tutti” who gave them the orders- Barack Obama.

Only a Special Prosecutor, with a team of legal pitbulls, and the vast resources and funding of the federal government, can make this happen.

I’m known for my national television show, “America’s Top Ten Countdown,” where I countdown the biggest news stories in America each week. Viewers love it when facts and raw truth are laid out in “top ten” format.

So, here are my “Top Ten” reasons why the Trump DOJ must name a Special Prosecutor/Counselor…

1.The Special Counsel (SC) Mueller, and Durham, and Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Horowitz investigations never investigated the origins of the Hillary Clinton-Democratic National Committee (DNC) plan as a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.

2. Every investigative and prosecution check and balance in the system to prevent the weaponization and politicization of federal government agencies by those in power either failed, or was ignored by those in leadership positions, and by the Inspector General’s office.

3. The Special Counselor Mueller and DOJ Inspector General Horowitz investigations into the Russian Hoax Conspiracy never looked at the national security implications, or President Obama’s actions of allowing the FBI investigations on Team Trump to go forward, when Obama and those within his administration knew this was a scheme by the Clinton campaign and the DNC to taint Trump with “Russian Collusion”- to interfere in and steal the 2016 Presidential election.

4. Expose how the Russian hoax ruse evolved from simply a traditional Democrat “dirty trick” into a massive criminal conspiracy plan implemented at the highest levels of government, to interfere in the 2016 Presidential elections, to sway votes over to Hillary Clinton.

5. Expose how Hillary Clinton-Democrat National Committee (DNC) paid for disinformation documents; the bogus Steele and Shearer dossiers became the centerpiece for the National Security agencies- CIA, FBI, DOJ- and Congressional and Senate investigations into Trump and members of his team for conspiring with the Russians.

6. The facts show there was never any legal predication for any of the FBI or Special Counsel investigations into Trump or his team, and no evidence that Trump or his team conspired with the Russians. The release of the files on “Crossfire Hurricane” and “Arctic Frost” showed the substantial role the FBI played in the “Russian Hoax Conspiracy” of interfering with and influencing not one, but three Presidential elections: 2016, 2020, and 2024.

7. Allegations that former FBI leadership and Special Counsel (SC) Mueller hid exculpatory documents in the “Russian Gate” investigation.

8. Allegations that former President Obama, CIA Director Brennan, Office of National Intelligence (ONI) Director Clapper, and FBI Director Comey manipulated the ICA to destroy Trump.

9. In March 2016, President Obama shut down the CIA unit “Strategic Foreign Denial and Deception Committee” (FDDC)- the unit responsible for countering the Russian disinformation threat. The evidence infers that former President Obama and his Administration did not believe their own political narrative that the Russians were a threat to the nation. This was contrary to the Russian interference narrative sold to the public- which indicates pure fraud.

10. Accountability and transparency are not just ideals- they are the only way to restore the public’s faith in our institutions and Justice system. Those who orchestrated the most significant sedition coup in American history must be held accountable. Failure to do so is not an option.

Again, let me stress- the litany of crimes committed under the umbrella of “RussiaGate” (ie ObamaGate) in 2016…leads to the 2020 rigged and stolen election…which then leads to massive collusion between China, the CCP, and the Democrat Party to use the Covid pandemic to destroy the booming Trump economy, change voter laws, and introduce fraudulent mail-in ballots to steal key battleground states…which then leads to the bogus indictments, convictions and judgements against President Trump – all intended to force Trump to die in prison…which leads to the Cloward-Piven open borders conspiracy to flood America with tens of millions of illegal alien foreign invaders to change the voting demographics of America…which leads to the coverup of Biden’s mental incapacitation as president…which then leads to 2024 media manipulation, fake polls, and two assassination attempts on President Trump.

It’s all part of the same ongoing communist/globalist conspiracy.

Democrats used fraud, Soviet-level propaganda, slander, demonization, and weaponization of government to try to manipulate, rig and steal three presidential elections…pull off a seditious coup…and hijack the entire US federal government-to control all its power, riches and resources forever more.

Only a massive Special Prosecutor investigation, operating independently from the DOJ, with all the unlimited power and resources of the federal government, can connect all the dots, and bring former President Obama and all his cronies and communist comrades to justice.

And perhaps most importantly, tie all of this to one overriding crime- TREASON. Which leads to the punishment of the death penalty.

Guest post by Paul S. Gardiner

This article presents two important, tangible reasons to have (and exhibit) a bold faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. For people who are skeptical about the divinity of Jesus and/or do not believe the 2,000-year old record of His teachings and miracles found in the Christian Bible (gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), these reasons hopefully will cause a renewed interest in Jesus and ultimately lead to belief and faith in Him as Lord and Savior. (The Bible teaches that without a Savior to atone for human sin, people will suffer God’s wrath, something most definitely to be avoided!)

Two very important reasons for a bold faith in Jesus as God’s Son are:

1. recent authentication of the Shroud of Turin being the actual burial cloth of Jesus giving evidence of His bodily resurrection; and
2. probability calculations showing that only Jesus could satisfy the many Biblical prophesies made hundreds of years before the birth and life of a future savior.

The Shroud of Turin

God the Creator has graciously preserved and given to humanity an astounding, miraculous, 2,000-year old gift, a precious holy relic. It is the Shroud of Turin, the recently authenticated burial cloth of Jesus Christ determined by extensive research and scientific examination to be the genuine article.

The 14.5 x 3.7 foot Shroud contains a face-up image of a man with blood stains on his forehead, wrists, side, and feet; exactly the areas of the body where the Christian Bible describes how Jesus was crucified by Roman soldiers. Below is the facial image on the Shroud:

Recent research indicates that the fabric of the Shroud is characteristic of fabrics woven in Israel during the first century and that the fabric contains microscopic residue of plants known to exist around Jerusalem.

A recent Newsmax post states: “Dr. Robert Harrington, a renowned skeptic and scientist, recently shocked his colleagues and peers when he announced his conversion to Christianity after a groundbreaking investigation into the Shroud of Turin.”

“Dr. Harrington embarked on his study of the Shroud intending to debunk its authenticity. However, as he delved deeper into the analysis, employing cutting-edge technology and methodologies, he encountered findings that challenged his scientific and personal beliefs.”

“‘I approached this study with a critical mind, ready to expose what I believed was a long-standing historical fabrication,’ Dr. Harrington explained. ‘But the evidence we uncovered was so compelling that it left no room for doubt. This is the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth.’”

Extensive examination of the Shroud indicates, among other things, that the blood and other bodily fluids/stains on the fabric were “burned” into the fabric by a tremendous burst of energy unexplainable by scientific examination. In fact, the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP) study group that included 35 physicists, chemists, NASA image specialists, electrical engineers, a forensic pathologist, and others, determined that the Shroud’s image:

• appears to be created by an oscillating strobe of high intensity light coming from inside the body;
• the event happened in 1/40 of a billion of a second like a laser beam, moving 2.5 billion watts of electricity; to create a similar light, one would need all the electric power generated on Earth!

An in-depth discussion about the authenticity of the Shroud between Tucker Carlson and Dr. Jeremiah Johnson can be viewed here.

The Bible teaches that God resurrected Jesus from His dead body and that He then interacted with hundreds of people for another 40 days proving that He had overcome death so that people would have faith in Him and assurance of an afterlife with their Heavenly Father. At the end of the 40-day period, the Bible says that Jesus returned to Heaven to “sit at God’s right hand”.

The Shroud of Turin is a message of hope and assurance to anyone searching for meaning in life or unsure about what will happen to them (their souls) upon their earthly death. Jesus is recorded saying in John’s gospel, chapter 3, verse 16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”. The Shroud is under protective covering in the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, Italy.

Probability Calculations

The probability calculations discussed herein are described in the book “Science Speaks” authored by mathematics and astronomy Professor Peter W. Stone and Robert C. Newman, Ph.D., Moody Press, Chicago, 1958. In his book, Professor Stone addresses the following questions: “Was the Jesus of the Bible who he claimed he was? Was he really God’s Son? Was Jesus the Messiah?”

For his initial calculations, Professor Stone used only eight of the approximately 300 biblical prophesies about Jesus and his life as follows:

a) born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2);
b) a messenger will prepare the way for him (Mal 3:1);
c) will enter Jerusalem riding on a donkey (Zech 9:9);
d) wounded in his hands by friends “(Zech 13:6);
e) betrayed for 30 pieces of silver (Zech 11:12);
f) gave 30 pieces of silver to a potter (Zech 11:13);
g) remained silent before his accusers (Isa 53:7); and
h) wicked men pierced his hands and feet “(Ps 22:16).

In evaluating a prophecy about Jesus, Professor Stone states that the question to ask is “—one man in how many men has fulfilled this prophesy?” He states further that “I realize that some will object to this question, saying that these prophecies were made with respect to Christ, and no other man has, or even can, fulfill them.

This, of course, is true when you consider the mass of prophecies regarding Christ, but it is not true of all individual prophecies.

It was prophesied, for example, that Christ would be born in Bethlehem; certainly other persons have been born in Bethlehem. It was prophesied that Christ would be crucified; other men have been crucified— I am trying to look at the evidence entirely unbiased, that I may better give a clear argument.”

Without going into the mathematical details, the end result of the probability calculations is that the chance of the above 8 prophecies all being fulfilled by one man by sheer chance is 1 in 10¹⁷ or 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000.

And if 8 additional prophecies are added, for a total of 16, the odds of all 16 coming true in any one man by sheer chance would be 1 x 10²⁸ x 10¹⁷ or 1 in 10⁴⁵ or 1 in 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000! But miraculously, all 16 prophesies were fulfilled by Jesus!

Professor Stone states that it is overwhelmingly clear that mathematically, Jesus of Nazareth can be proven to be God’s Son, the prophesized savior.

Professor Stone concludes: “Any man who rejects Christ as the Son of God is rejecting a fact proved perhaps more absolutely than any other fact in the world.”

People place themselves in great peril by not believing the divinity of Jesus, trusting in him for the salvation of their souls, and adhering to his very beneficial teachings and rules for human conduct and life.

President Donald Trump has once again proven why he’s the undisputed king of political warfare.

Trump has masterfully backed the hapless Democrats into a corner – and now he’s openly mocking them in their bitter, humiliating defeat.

As evidence of the Dems’ total collapse, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was so distraught on Monday that she started dropping f-bombs during her NBC interview.

But President Trump wasn’t finished.

After their meeting today in the White House, Democrat leaders Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stopped to whine to their pals in the liberal media.

Someone took the video and rewrote the lines with what Schumer really meant to say. And President Trump tweeted this out on his Twitter page!

Chuck Schumer in the meme: Look, guys, there’s no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all of our woke trans bullsh*t. Not even Black people want to vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need new voters.

If we give all these illegal aliens free health care, we might be able to get them on our side so they can vote for us. They can’t even speak English, so they won’t realize we’re just a bunch of woke pieces of shit. At least for a while, they learn English and they realize they hate us, too.

The meme crushed. Trump knew exactly what he was doing – exposing the Democrats’ real agenda with brutal mockery.

Later that evening, Hakeem Jeffries joined Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC and completely lost it.

Jeffries erupted over the "disgusting video," labeling it an act of "bigotry" that "will get you nowhere." O'Donnell refused to even show the clip, calling it "absolutely disgusting in every way" and a "lie."

Lawrence O’Donnell:
Leading off our discussion tonight is House Democratic Leader, Councilman Hakeem Jeffries of New York. Thank you very much for joining us tonight, Mr. Leader. I'm not showing this video that Donald Trump put out about you and Chuck Schumer today.

This fake video—people are going to see it. They'll see it in other ways. It's easy to find. But it is absolutely disgusting in every way. It is a lie. The man you met with has now lied about what you said after that meeting. Could you give us your reaction to that Trump-posted video tonight?

Hakeem Jeffries:
It's a disgusting video, and we're going to continue to make clear: bigotry will get you nowhere. We are fighting to protect the health care of the American people in the face of an unprecedented Republican assault on all the things—Medicaid, Medicare, the Affordable Care Act.

Republicans are closing our hospitals, nursing homes, and community-based health clinics, and have effectively shut down medical research in the United States of America.

Clearly, Donald Trump and Republicans know that they have a very weak position because they are hurting everyday Americans while continuing to reward their billionaire donors, just like they did in that one big, ugly bill with massive tax breaks.

Democrats are united in the House and the Senate, and the point that we've made will continue to be clear: we are fighting to lower the high cost of health care, prevent these dramatically increased premiums, copays, and deductibles that will take place in a matter of days unless Republicans are willing to act in terms of renewing the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

Steve Federico, father of Logan Federico, the young woman who was executed by a career criminal in a South Carolina home earlier this year, went off on Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies during a testimony on Monday morning.

As previously reported, a beautiful 22-year-old college student was fatally shot inside a Columbia, South Carolina, rental home earlier this year by a career criminal who was “on a spree of thefts, break-ins and credit card fraud,” the Columbia Police Department said.

In May, Logan Federico, a college student from Waxhaw, North Carolina, was spending the weekend at a rental home with friends in South Carolina when she was senselessly murdered by a career criminal.

After stealing firearms and credit cards from a nearby home, 30-year-old Alexander Dickey broke into the Columbia rental home, entered Logan Federico’s room, and executed her while she was on her knees begging for her life.

Dickey fled the scene in a stolen vehicle and allegedly used stolen credit cards taken from the nearby home.

Police pursued Dickey after he fled into the woods. He reportedly broke into another home and set it on fire before police took him into custody after a standoff in Gaston.

Dickey was charged with murder, two counts of first-degree burglary, weapons possession, and larceny.

Alexander Dickey is a convicted felon with a lengthy criminal rap sheet.

Logan Federico’s distraught father, Steve Federico, fought through tears as he spoke during a press conference earlier this year.

“I am Logan Haley Federico’s father, better known as ‘Dad,’ or her hero. Unfortunately, that day, I could not be her hero,” Steve Federico said. “My daughter, I cherished. She was a strong, fun-loving individual who did what she wanted to do and was spicy.”

“My daughter was working hard at school, working two jobs, to become a teacher. She loved and adored kids — children of all ages,” the father said. “The message I wanted to send to Dickey, who took my daughter’s life — this is from her: ‘You can’t kill my spirit. You might be able to kill my body, but you cannot kill my love that my family and friends shared with me.’”

On Monday, Steve Federico unleashed during a North Carolina House Judiciary hearing.

“You pissed off the wrong daddy!” Federico shouted.

WATCH:

Later Monday evening, Steve Federico appeared on Fox News to discuss the hearing with host Laura Ingraham.

Federico was outraged after one of the worthless Democrat politicians confused his daughter, Logan, with Iryna Zarutska, the Ukrainian refugee who was recently murdered on the North Carolina light rail by another black career criminal.

“How dare you not know her name!” Federico shouted during the hearing.

Steve Federico told Laura Ingraham that mixing up his daughter’s name during the hearing was not a mistake, but it was humiliating.

“Her picture was right there. They’re blondes, they’re beautiful — but she didn’t even know who Logan was,” Federico told Laura Ingraham.
