Late sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s impact on Norway keeps producing nefarious outcomes.

Since the US DOJ released the ‘Epstein files’, a lot of activity has been going on in the Norwegian kingdom, notably around Crown Princess Mette-Marit, who is suffering deep reputational damage, and former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland, who is under criminal investigation.

But a horrifying development involved diplomat Terje Rod-Larsen and his wife Mona Juul, a former ambassador.

Days after an investigation into their ties to Epstein was launched, their 25-year-old son has reportedly died by suicide.

Daily Mail reported:

“Edward Juul Rod-Larsen, 25, was found dead in Oslo on Wednesday, just days after Norwegian and French police launched a joint investigation into his parents,

[…] ‘It stands in the shadow of months of a public spotlight that has long since ceased to be critical, and has instead become suspicious, speculative and at times limitless. A spotlight that has not only affected two parents, but has also drawn their children involuntarily into the relentless machinery of the public,’ [his family] lawyers wrote.

‘Speculating on connections is both irresponsible and undignified. Suicide is always complex. There is never one explanation, never one cause, never one blame’.”

The investigation into high-profile figures Larsen and Juul was launched after it was reported that Epstein left $10 million in his will to the couple’s children

“Juul, who most recent served as Norway’s ambassador to Jordan, resigned in February after facing scrutiny over her contacts with Epstein.

The country’s Foreign Ministry launched an investigation into Juul’s knowledge of and contact with Epstein.

The ministry said it also launched a review of its funding of and contact with the International Peace Institute, a New York-based think tank, during the period when it was headed by Rod-Larsen.”

The Gateway Pundit conducted an exclusive interview with US Congressman Chip Roy (TX-21) on the heels of the US House of Representatives’ passage of Congressman Roy’s historic SAVE America Act.

The US House of Representatives passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act in February 2026, thanks to the courage of Congressman Roy and his 220 fellow Republican Congressmen.

As a result, common-sense election integrity measures such as mandatory voter ID and proof of US citizenship for voter registration now stand on the precipice of becoming federal law, contingent upon the US Senate’s passage of the SAVE America Act.

However, the Senate has stalled a vote on the SAVE America Act for over two months. Although 50 Senate Republicans are co-sponsoring the SAVE America Act, 60 ‘Yes’ votes are needed to overcome the filibuster, sending the SAVE America Act directly to President Trump’s desk.

Congressman Roy is now calling upon Senate Republicans to debate these critical election integrity measures on the Senate floor, before the American people, for as many weeks as necessary to pass the SAVE America Act into federal law.

“Republicans need to grow a backbone and realize that they can pass the Bill through the Senate by demanding people go to the floor and have to debate through a filibuster,” Congressman Chip Roy told The Gateway Pundit.

“House Republicans answered what the American people want us to do; what the President asked us to do. Citizenship and voter ID: the substance of the Bill is common sense. Now the only question is whether the Senate will deliver.”

“We’re not asking to change the Senate rules. We’re asking Senators to work. Make the Senate work again. We’re asking Republicans to go to the Senate floor, and do their job,” Congressman Roy said.

Congressman Roy represents the majority of Americans who believe Senate Democrats cannot possibly win a debate on the merits of election integrity.

“If Democrats want to talk, great. Tell the American people why you think we shouldn’t have citizen voting and voter ID. Let’s do it for a week. Then let’s do it for a second week, and a third week. We are just talking about simple, common-sense voting measures to secure our elections,” Congressman Roy said.

At the center of this debate, Democrat lawmakers remain largely antagonistic to enshrining common-sense election integrity measures into federal law, despite 83% of Americans supporting national voter ID, according to a recent CNN poll.

Notably, Senate Democrats have previously broken ranks to vote alongside Republicans on a small number of key issues during this Congressional session.

In a moment of rare congressional unity, on January 20, 2025, the Senate confirmed Marco Rubio as Secretary of State by a unanimous vote of 99-0.

On November 10, 2025, after Senate Democrats held essential US government workers’ paychecks hostage for two months during the longest-ever US government shutdown, nine Senate Democrats ultimately surrendered their position of free, government-provided health care for non-US citizens and voted to reopen the US government.

With sustained public pressure and rigorous debate in the Senate, Americans may still have the opportunity to persuade the ten Senate Democrat and Republican holdouts needed to secure passage of the SAVE Act into law.

However, based on the Democrat leadership’s tyrannical response to the significant and well-documented irregularities during the 2020 presidential election, along with their present unwillingness to signal any support for American election integrity, Democrats appear highly unlikely to compromise on this critical issue.

The fact remains that Senate Republicans hold the power to terminate the filibuster and pass the SAVE Act with only 51 votes.

President Trump actively supports the Senate’s passage of the SAVE America Act by any means necessary, frequently advocating his position on Truth Social.

In terms of the Senate procedure for terminating the filibuster:

1. Once the SAVE America Act is brought to the Senate floor and filibustered, Senate Majority Leader John Thune can raise a point of order asserting that only a simple majority is required to end debate and pass the Bill.
2. If 51 Senators vote to overturn the presiding officer’s decision that 60 votes are required to pass the SAVE America Act, the Senate establishes a new precedent allowing the SAVE America Act, and future legislation, to advance by simple majority.

The procedure is uncomplicated; the Senate must simply gather the courage to act on behalf of the American people and the sanctity of our beloved republic.

Shocking surveillance video has surfaced showing a hooded figure dressed head-to-toe in what looks exactly like classic Ku Klux Klan robes casually strolling down Main Street in the middle of the night.

The clip, captured around 2 a.m. Monday in the Arctic section of West Warwick, shows the individual in flowing white robes and a pointed hood walking past local businesses.

One eyewitness, Ryan Fitzgerald, was driving by with his brother when he spotted the figure and started recording. He later described seeing the creepy red eyeballs staring out from under the hood, according to The Boston Globe.

“When somebody looks at you that you can’t see, you just see their eyeballs, that’s freaking creepy, man,” Fitzgerald told the Globe.

Shop owner Leslie Letourneau wasn’t amused when she reviewed her own surveillance footage the next day.

She wrote:

“So I’m sure some have already seen the video curculating of the clans man in front of my shop. Yes its real & Im sure you all already know I do not support this in and way shape or form and I’m absolutely disgusted that you stopped by to pay me a visit. So here in what one of my cameras caught during this stunt that is in absolutely no way funny. Try it during the day. Dare ya. Lo$er #hatehasnohomehere #loveyourneighbor except that guy.”

Local police confirmed they are investigating the video and asked anyone with information or surveillance footage to come forward. Authorities said the episode appears to be isolated and that there is currently no known threat to public safety.

A substitute teacher in Florida was fired after allegedly suffering a bizarre and disturbing meltdown inside a high school classroo, where students say she twerked, made sexually explicit remarks, called herself a “million-dollar prostitute,” and physically grabbed a student by the neck area before deputies hauled her away.

The teacher was identified as Angela Faith Jourdan, a substitute at Lake Minneola High School. According to reports, deputies responded after staff triggered an emergency alert around 10:20 a.m. and found Jourdan yelling incoherently in front of students, News6 reported.

Investigators say students reported Jourdan had been slamming her hands on desks, making obscene comments, and dancing provocatively in the classroom instead of teaching. Authorities also say she referred to herself as a “million-dollar prostitute.”

The most serious allegation came from a student who told deputies that as class ended, Jourdan yelled at her, used a derogatory slur, then placed her hands on the student’s head, neck, and moved toward the throat area.

More from News6:

Upon arrival to the classroom, the deputy found the sub — identified as Angela Faith Jourdan — yelling “incoherently,” stating that they should “put her in prison for life,” the report shows.

[…]

“Assistant Principal Pannett entered and instructed Ms. Jourdan to gather her belongings and leave the classroom,” the report reads. “Ms. Jourdan refused, stating that she did not want to be (Tasered).”

Jourdan continued refusing to leave, prompting the deputy to restrain her and escort her to the front office, the report reveals.

Meanwhile, investigators said they spoke with a victim, who claimed that Jourdan had battered her.

“As the bell rang and students began exiting, [REDACTED] stated she was among the last to leave when Ms. Jourdan yelled at her, called her a derogatory name, and placed her hands on [REDACTED] head and the back of her neck before moving her hand toward [REDACTED] throat,” the report continues.

The case report further reveals that Jourdan has a history of bipolar disorder, and her outburst in the classroom indicated a possible “mental health episode.”

Late Wednesday evening, the House adopted the Senate-approved budget after more than two months of a DHS shutdown.

CBS News reported:

The House on Wednesday adopted a Senate-approved budget plan, the first step in a strategy that would allow Republicans to fund federal immigration agencies through the rest of President Trump’s term without the help of Democrats.

Senate Republicans unveiled and adopted the budget blueprint last week. Republicans are trying to meet Mr. Trump’s June deadline to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol, and end the funding lapse that has shut down the Department of Homeland Security since February.

The resolution cleared the House in a 215 to 211 vote. It directs the committees that oversee ICE and Border Patrol to draft legislation to deliver about $70 billion to the agencies.

Adoption of the budget plan simply allows lawmakers to begin their work crafting legislation to fund the agencies, which both chambers will later need to approve.

The House voted on the Senate-approved package

Texas Representative Chip Roy said he would have voted no on this Senate-approved funding bill that leaves out funding for ICE and CBP.

NEW: Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) says he would have voted no on this Senate DHS funding bill that leaves out ICE & CBP, and he warns Democrats that “two can play this game” and Dems have “set a precedent for how this is going to work in the future.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson spoke to reporters after the House adopted the Senate-approved package.

“We’ve got the budget resolution passed. This is very, very important because that will ensure that border security and immigration enforcement will continue today and well into the future, despite Democrat attempts to reopen our borders and protect criminal illegal aliens from removal,” Speaker Johnson said.

“The net result of passing our reconciliation bill is that ICE and CBP are funded for three years,” Johnson said.

“Democrats got absolutely nothing for their political charade and shenanigans out there,” he said.
