The corrupt Biden DOJ pressured at least two Jan 6ers to lie about Ray Epps and then punished them when they refused.

Stewart Rhodes and Ryan Samsel were targeted and pressured by the corrupt Obama/Biden DOJ to lie and say that Ray Epps was a good man and patriot on Jan 6. Neither would do it, and as a consequence, both were severely punished.

Stewart was with the Oath Keepers and hadn’t seen Epps for years. The corrupt DOJ wanted Rhodes to lie and make statements about Epps that were not true.

Ryan Samsel was pressured by the DOJ to say nice things about Ray Epps and he was punished when he refused. Six men beat him so bad that he received a broken eye socket and broken jaw!

The Biden/Obama regime is the closest this country has ever been to becoming a communist regime. Many good Americans suffered under its wrath.

Justice must be served.

Batya Ungar Sargon explains Trump’s tariff program to Piers Morgan. (Screenshot: Piers Morgan Uncensored / Youtube)

On Wednesday, Newsweek Opinion Editor Batya Ungar-Sargon the author of the best-selling book, “Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America’s Working Men and Women” joined Piers Morgan, Kari Lake and others in a panel discussion on President Liberation Day announcements including reciprocal tariffs for US trading partners.

For the first time in a generation, the US has a president who prioritizes the American worker and middle-class families.

Piers Morgan dedicated his show to Trump’s tariff programs that were introduced on Liberation Day.

Batya Ungar Sargon, author of Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America’s Working Men and Women, didn’t hold back.

A former Democrat-turned-populist champion, Batya explained how Trump’s economic nationalism is finally putting the brakes on Wall Street’s unchecked control over American life.

Batya emphasized that Trump’s tariff policies aren’t theoretical—they’re already working.

Batya is always someone you want to stop and listen to. This former Democrat really gets Trump.

Batya Ungar Sargon: What I find so frustrating about the conversation around tariffs is that we all agree on the problem. We all agree that the deindustrialization of America led to the downward mobility of the American working class, deaths of despair, people working multiple jobs, and not being able to afford the American dream.

We all agree that it is deeply unfair for the American middle class to be bearing the burden of unfair tariffs from other countries. We all agree that it is great for the President to have leverage in order to demand reasonable things like that country stop allowing Fentanyl to murder 100,000 Americans every year, and that Mexico do its part to police its own border.

And yet when somebody has the courage to show up and say to Wall Street, “Screw you, I’m waging class warfare on behalf of the American working class, and you, elites in Wall Street, you do what you need to do because I’m not going to stop fighting for the American working class!”

Suddenly, everybody is sitting around going, Oh, no, the stock market. Yeah, the stock market looks like that because the rich are punishing Trump for siding with the neglected and humiliated American working class over them.

We have already seen these tariffs work, Pierce. The number of people crossing the Southern border is at zero. Fentanyl is at record lows for For the last 10 years, we have already seen $1. 2 trillion in manufacturing invested in this country since January 21st.

So they have already worked. Now, how long is Wall Street going to keep trying to punish this President for standing for the American working class?

I don’t know, but I can tell you that the view from the street is people cannot believe that there is a President who is working for them, who is putting them first and telling Wall Street to go screw itself. Wall Street, which picked the Democrats for the last three election cycles in a row. That’s what the real story is here.

Kari Lake was completely on board with Batya, as you see in the video.

Here’s the truth about tariffs: For 60 years they destroyed the American working class to funnel money upwards into the pockets of the rich.

​In March 2025, the Trump administration ramped up its fight against Latin American gangs, invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport about 250 Venezuelan men to El Salvador, with plans to expel 300 more suspected Tren de Aragua gangsters soon after.

These individuals, tied to the Venezuelan criminal group Tren de Aragua, were removed without standard due process, identified largely by tattoos and digital evidence.

This wartime law’s use underscores a clear stance: gang members, marked by their ink, pose a proven threat to U.S. security.

Data backs this—gangs like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua fuel violent crime across the country—driving the administration’s push to root out these dangers fast, even as critics question the precision of tattoo-based deportations.

Gang tattoos in Latin America, from MS-13 to Tren de Aragua, belong only to real members, acting as hard proof of allegiance, identity, and rank within these deadly organizations.

For MS-13, started by Salvadoran immigrants in Los Angeles and now a cross-border menace, tattoos like clasped hands (“forgive me, mother, for my crazy life”) or spider webs (power or prison time) once stood out, as a 2017 Insight Crime report on Honduran “mara” tattoos confirms.

Barrio 18 uses the Virgin of Guadalupe for protection; Mexico’s La Eme stamps “13” for loyalty. Non-members sporting these tattoos face death—gangs kill to punish fakes or disrespect, enforcing iron rules.

El Salvador’s 2022 crackdown, jailing over 86,000 under President Bukele, and Honduras’ 2005 laws have forced tattoos underground, but they still mark the guilty, giving U.S. officials a tool to spot gangsters.

Joining these gangs means spilling blood—new recruits must commit atrocities, often murder, to earn their tattoos and prove they belong. MS-13 demands kills for full membership, a fact backed by FBI records and El Salvador’s gang history.

Tren de Aragua, per a 2025 NBC News report citing expert Ronna Risquez, pushes initiates into violent crimes too.

Brazil’s PCC requires acts like killing cops before inking up, says Insight Crime. Once in, members don’t stop—they run drug distribution, human trafficking, extortion, homicide, protection rackets, and business shakedowns. MS-13’s East Coast grip, tied to Suffolk County, New York, murders, and Tren de Aragua’s growing reach show the danger plain as day, giving Trump solid ground to deport them.

These crimes—drug trafficking, savage attacks, and extortion—hit the U.S. hard, and gang membership itself breaks visa and residency laws, especially with groups like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua branded as terrorist-level threats. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, anyone tied to crimes or security risks is inadmissible or deportable—tattoos prove the link.

MS-13’s 2012 Transnational Criminal Organization tag and its trail of bodies, plus Tren de Aragua’s trafficking surge, fit the bill; the Alien Enemies Act lets Trump boot them fast.

Data ties these tattooed members to chaos—conviction or not—and U.S. law doesn’t let killers or racketeers stay legally. Critics call it shaky proof, noting some non-members get inked for style, but evidence—homicide stats, arrest logs—shows these gangs wreck communities from Long Island to Los Angeles.

Gang membership itself breaks U.S. visa and residency laws, especially with groups like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua branded as terrorist-level threats. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, anyone tied to crimes—think drug trafficking or murder—or security risks is inadmissible or deportable, no questions asked.

MS-13’s 2012 Transnational Criminal Organization tag and its trail of bodies, plus Tren de Aragua’s trafficking surge, hit these marks hard.

Tattoos prove the link, and laws like the Alien Enemies Act let Trump boot them fast—data backs it: gang members kill, extort, and endanger the U.S., making them illegal here, period.

The link between tattoos, gangs, and crime drives Trump’s plan. MS-13’s old-school ink once screamed membership, but now they hide it—still, the violence rolls on: drugs, murders, shakedowns.

Tren de Aragua’s tattoo use is fuzzier, but their crime wave isn’t, and the Alien Enemies Act cuts through to eject them. PCC’s prison rule and cartels’ trafficking empires add to the threat. Evidence—FBI files, gang busts, crime data—shows these tattooed members are killers and traffickers, not innocents.

As 300 more head for El Salvador, the stakes are clear: gang tattoos mean gang life, and gang life endangers the U.S. That’s the hard truth, and that’s why they’re gone.

The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) has dropped a bombshell with its 2025 National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers, shining a glaring spotlight on the dirty tricks foreign nations are using to kneecap American exporters.

The USTR, under the steady hand of Trump-appointee Ambassador Jamieson Greer, has laid bare 10 egregious practices that prove the world isn’t playing fair—and it’s high time America stops rolling over.

For too long, the Biden administration and its predecessors have let foreign governments run roughshod over our farmers, manufacturers, and tech innovators, all while preaching the gospel of “free trade,” but not under Trump’s administration.

​On April 2, 2025, Wednesday, President Donald Trump declared “Liberation Day” during a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden, unveiling a series of sweeping tariffs aimed at reducing the United States’ reliance on foreign goods.

He announced a minimum baseline tariff of 10% on all imported goods, with higher “reciprocal” tariffs on nations that impose significant tariffs on U.S. exports.

Ambassador Jamieson Greer released the following statement backing President Donald Trump’s decision to invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to implement retaliatory tariffs in response to the national emergency caused by the lack of reciprocity in America’s bilateral trade deals:

“Today, President Trump is taking urgent action to protect the national security and economy of the United States. The current lack of trade reciprocity, demonstrated by our chronic trade deficit, has weakened our economic and national security.

After only 72 days in office, President Trump has prioritized swift action to bring reciprocity to our trade relations and reduce the trade deficit by leveling the playing field for American workers and manufacturers, reshoring American jobs, expanding our domestic manufacturing base, and ensuring our defense-industrial base is not dependent on foreign adversaries—all leading to stronger economic and national security.”

The NTE Report, released just days ago, confirms what patriots have been shouting from the rooftops: our so-called trading partners are rigging the game.

From Algeria to Vietnam, here are the 10 unfair trade practices the USTR is calling out:

1/10: China’s non-tariff measures and high tariffs on U.S. agricultural products—like soybeans, pork, wheat, and corn—have greatly restricted market access for American farmers. Removing these barriers would generate an estimated $6 billion in additional annual exports of these products.

2/10: The U.S. shrimp industry noted the negative impacts of subsidized low-cost, farm-raised shrimp imports from Brazil, China, Ecuador, India, Thailand, and Vietnam. According to NOAA Fisheries, the total value of U.S. shrimp fishermen’s catch fell from $522 million in 2021 to $268 million in 2023—an almost 50% decrease.

3/10: South Africa heavily restricts U.S. poultry exports through high tariffs, anti-dumping duties, and unjustified animal health restrictions. These barriers led to a 78% decline in exports, from $89 million in 2019 to $19 million in 2024.

4/10: Egypt’s average applied tariff on agricultural goods is 65.1%, 13 times higher than the U.S., and among the highest globally. Egypt has also raised WTO MFN tariffs on multiple products, disadvantaging U.S. goods while EU products enjoy preferential treatment under the EU-Egypt Free Trade Agreement.

5/10: The annual cost to the U.S. economy of counterfeit goods, pirated software, and trade secret theft is between $225 billion and $600 billion. In 2023, China accounted for 84% of the value of counterfeit and pirated goods seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, including via Hong Kong.

6/10: Argentina has banned U.S. live cattle imports since 2002 due to unfounded concerns over bovine spongiform encephalopathy. The result: a $223 million U.S. trade deficit with Argentina in beef and beef products.

7/10: Brazil has used baseless animal health concerns to delay U.S. pork imports. The U.S. agricultural trade deficit with Brazil reached $7.0 billion in 2024.

8/10: Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, and Vietnam restrict or ban imports of remanufactured goods, limiting U.S. exporters and stifling sustainable trade. Removing these barriers could boost U.S. exports by at least $18 billion annually.

9/10: Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing undercuts U.S. competitiveness and costs the global seafood industry up to $50 billion per year. China (with the world’s largest distant water fishing fleet) and Mexico face ongoing IUU violations and enforcement challenges under USMCA.

10/10: U.S. automakers encounter non-tariff barriers in Japan and South Korea that restrict market access. The U.S. auto industry loses an estimated $13.5 billion in annual exports to Japan and reduced import share in Korea due to these practices.

Hunter Biden, the scandal-plagued son of Joe Biden, has voluntarily agreed to give up his license to practice law in Washington, D.C., according to Politico.

The decision, revealed this week by the D.C. Bar’s Board on Professional Responsibility, comes as no surprise to those who’ve followed the younger Biden’s laundry list of legal troubles.

It’s a blatant attempt to sidestep the inevitable—a full disbarment proceeding that would have laid bare the consequences of his criminal behavior.

Last June, a jury convicted him of felony gun charges—owning a firearm while using illegal drugs and lying about that drug use on a federal form.

Then, in September, he pleaded guilty to tax evasion and a slew of other tax-related crimes, admitting he’d dodged the law while living a life of excess.

Yet, in December, his father—Joe Biden himself—swooped in with a presidential pardon, wiping the slate clean for his wayward son. How convenient.

Hunter’s license was already suspended following his felony gun conviction, per an order issued by the D.C. Court of Appeals shortly after the jury’s verdict on June 11, 2024.

The suspension stems from legal proceedings initiated by the D.C. Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel. Under D.C. Bar rules, any felony is categorized as a “serious crime,” prompting the court to take swift action.

In addition to the suspension, the D.C. Court of Appeals has directed the Bar’s Board on Professional Responsibility to launch a formal proceeding to evaluate the nature of Hunter’s offense and determine whether it involves “moral turpitude.”

In an effort to preempt formal disbarment, Hunter Biden filed an affidavit under seal with the D.C. Court of Appeals, consenting to disbarment.

The Board on Professional Responsibility submitted a Consent Motion on Tuesday, requesting the court to file the amended motion and accompanying affidavit under seal, citing confidentiality rules outlined in D.C. Bar Rule XI, § 12(c). In plain terms: the Board and Disciplinary Counsel agreed with Hunter Biden’s legal team to finalize his disbarment out of public view.

The sealed affidavit likely contains the details of Biden’s reasoning for stepping away from the legal profession—details that, under normal circumstances, the public would be entitled to see.

However, citing D.C. Bar rules, the Board has requested the court to suppress both the affidavit and the amended motion that reveals its contents.

Europol has busted a massive international pedophile network based in Germany, the agency announced on Wednesday.

According to Europol, authorities successful raided an expansive child exploitation network operating across more than 30 countries.

The takedown resulted in numerous arrests connected to the distribution of illegal child abuse content.

The European Union’s law enforcement agency confirmed that the illicit online hub, operating on the Darknet under the name “Kidflix,” was brought offline through a coordinated investigation led by the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office in Germany.

Kidflix, one of the largest paedophile platforms in the world, has been shut down in an international operation against child sexual exploitation.

Europol has supported authorities from 38 countries worldwide in shutting down the platform.

— Europol (@Europol) April 2, 2025

Authorities estimate that the now-defunct platform serviced a staggering global user base of approximately 1.8 million individuals.

“Operation Stream has been the largest operation ever handled by Europol’s experts in fighting child sexual exploitation, and one of the biggest cases supported by the law enforcement agency in recent years,” the press release states.

Investigations have already extended to 35 different countries, and so far, law enforcement has apprehended 79 suspects, with around 1,400 additional individuals under scrutiny, more than 100 of whom are believed to be located within Germany.

Launched in 2021, the site quickly became one of the most expansive operations of its kind, with European investigators labeling it the largest ever uncovered on the continent.

The digital repository reportedly hosted over 91,000 videos depicting child exploitation, with new material being uploaded at an alarming rate—averaging about three to four videos per hour.

After paying for access, users were able to stream or contribute content involving the sexual abuse of minors.

“The digital dimension has driven a rapid evolution in online child sexual exploitation, offering offenders a borderless platform to contact and groom victims, as well as to create, store, and exchange child sexual abuse material,” said Europol’s Executive Director Catherine De Bolle.

”Some attempt to frame this as merely a technical or cyber issue – but it is not.”

”There are real victims behind these crimes, and those victims are children,” she continued.  “As a society, we must act to protect our children.”

The investigation is ongoing, with authorities continuing to pursue leads across multiple jurisdictions.

Come to think of it, US President Donald J. Trump never had any reasons to like Volodymyr Zelensky.

After all, both the Ukrainian leader and his grey eminence Andriy Yermak were connected to Dem’s first sham impeachment push.

As Trump was horrified watching Zelensky play ailing Joe Biden ‘like a fiddle’ for untold billions, he also had to watch the Kiev regime’s leader campaign for the Democrats on a visit to an ammunition factory.

By the time the ‘modestly successful comedian’ set himself on metaphorical fire in the Oval Office, the relationship had soured.

Trump has no reasons to like Zelensky.

Trump called him a ‘dictator without elections’, and blamed him for involving the US in an unwinnable war.

So, as Zelensky backtracks on the agreed deals and badmouths his administration in the press, Trump warned that he was going to have ‘big, big problems’.

And the shift in priorities was immediately visible, as Pete Hegseth will reportedly not attend the ‘Ramstein Group’ gathering of 50 countries that coordinate military support for Ukraine.

This marks the first time that the ‘Ukraine Defense Contact Group’ will lack the presence of the American secretary of defense.

The days when Zelensky ‘played Biden like a fiddle’ are long over.

Defense News reported:

“The group will meet April 11 in Brussels and will be chaired by Germany and Britain. Hegseth attended the last meeting in February, though he became the first U.S. defense secretary in the coalition’s 26 meetings not to lead it.

Hegseth won’t join in person and isn’t expected to join virtually either, according to a U.S. official, who like others was granted anonymity to discuss the planning. In fact, the Pentagon is unlikely to send any senior representatives, which typically join the secretary on such trips.”

Hegseth scolded Europeans over their lack of defense preparedness.

It’s unclear so far if and how US officials will participate in the support forums for Ukraine.

“For Europeans, the secretary’s absence is the latest sign of the Trump administration’s lower-priority approach to arming Ukraine – a point Hegseth made clear at the last meeting in February.”

In the last meeting, Hegseth blasted the Europeans for simply relying on Americans to defend their continent. He also ruled out the possibility of NATO membership for Ukraine.

Trump alerted Zelensky that he was ‘going to have big, big problems’.

If the Ukrainians lack key U.S. intelligence and military supplies, the chance of a catastrophic defeat increases markedly.

“The Pentagon has $3.85 billion left in authority to send Ukraine military equipment, but no money left to replace it. Leaders in Congress have said they have no plans to pass more.”

An abortion supporter who was arrested in 2022 in connection with a plan to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh will plead guilty to the charge.

Nicholas Roske, 29, of California, will admit that he planned to kill Kavanaugh, a letter filed with the court where Roske was being tried said, according to The Washington Post.

“We write to inform the Court that Mr. Roske wishes to plead guilty to the one-count Indictment pending against him,” public defenders, Andrew Szekely and Ellie Marranzini wrote, according to The Hill.

The plea comes days before a scheduled hearing on Roske’s past motions to have the charges against him dropped.

Roske’s guilty plea to the charge of attempting to murder a justice of the United States comes without reaching an agreement with prosecutors, according to the Associated Press.

Roske’s lawyers have asked for a hearing next week to formally enter Roske’s plea and said prosecutors have agreed to their request.

A California man will plead guilty to attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh by showing up outside his home in 2022 with weapons, his lawyers said Wednesday.

Roske was charged with flying from California to the East Coast where he took a cab to Kavanaugh’s home in Maryland in June 2022, so he could kill Kavanaugh, according to the Post.

He brought burglary tools and a handgun, but after seeing the security detail at the house, he walked away.

Roske spoke to his sister on the night he went to Kavanaugh’s house. She convinced him to turn himself in.

He then surrendered to Montgomery County Police Department officers.

“What was your plan?” he was asked.

“Break in,” Roske said. “Shoot him and then shoot myself.”

Roske told police he was motivated to action by his concern over the court’s shift to the right and its ruling on abortion, based on a draft opinion of what would be the court decision that overturned the Roe v. Wade ruling.

“I was under the delusion that I could make the world a better place by killing him,” he said.

“At the time, Mr. Roske was acutely suicidal, visibly exhausted, and had repeatedly expressed his need for psychiatric care,” his lawyers had written in an earlier filing.

The charge facing Roske carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.

J6 prisoner Dan WIlson

Almost two weeks after The Gateway Pundit published our story on January 6er Dan Wilson, he has had to self-surrender under the duress of DC District Judge Dabney Friedrich’s court order. Wilson was pardoned on January 20th by President Trump, and now his neck is under the boot of a radical activist judge. She is disobeying a direct order by THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and acting like a spoiled brat bully who hits her little sister because she wants to play with her toy, so her sister doesn’t have any fun either.

It is unbelievable that these unhinged individuals like Judge Friedrich are presiding over our federal courts. She has gone above and beyond her hatred for President Trump by doubling down on her bias towards a January 6th defendant, whose case she presided over. Dan WIlson should be a free man today. The government has recognized that the case against him falls under the scope of the Presidential Pardon.

Wilson has been fighting a case that is directly related to the January 6th-inspired FBI raid on his home. He was arrested after the FBI finished searching the residence, although he was not arrested for his attendance on January 6th.

Wait, what? Yes, the warrant was for J6, but he was arrested for another reason and NOT J6 (at the time). His arrest was for having guns at his home in Kentucky. Over 30 years ago, as a very young man, Wilson became a felon and served his time in prison. According to the law, he should not have had the guns in his home. Some may debate that constitutionally; he can have guns. However, in this case, for right now, it is a debate for another time because the law recognized by the people who lock you up is not debatable, but how they found these guns at his home is.

** You can help Dan Wilson here.

The Presidential Pardon for the J6ers says:

“Grant a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021;

The Attorney General shall administer and effectuate the immediate issuance of certificates of pardon to all individuals described in section (b) above, and shall ensure that all individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, who are currently held in prison are released immediately.  The Bureau of Prisons shall immediately implement all instructions from the Department of Justice regarding this directive. 

I further direct the Attorney General to pursue dismissal with prejudice to the government of all pending indictments against individuals for their conduct related to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.  The Bureau of Prisons shall immediately implement all instructions from the Department of Justice regarding this directive. “

Several judges have, correctly, ruled that this pardon includes any charges related to J6. This means anything that stems from J6 should be dismissed. The “fruit of a poisonous tree” defense. Even with Wilson’s case, the Department of Justice is not contesting this. In fact, the only one who is contesting is Judge Friedrich.

If J6 charges are considered null and void or moot, then the other charges would never exist. Benjamin Martin and Jeremy Brown are just two J6 hostages who had to fight for their release. Their judges finally upheld the language of the pardon as completely covering anything related to J6 and ordered their immediate release. Both men, along with others, are facing their freedom being taken away again if this maniacal judge gets her way.

This is ongoing persecution of a J6er by a vindictive judge in violation of the President’s pardon. https://t.co/irXRJP2r2M

— Lara Logan (@laralogan) April 2, 2025

Judge Friedrich has been a blatant activist against the J6 hostages. She has used her position and power to destroy the lives of the J6 defendants who came before her in her tarnished courtroom. To make sure her “legacy” of destruction and egregious punishment does not get tossed aside, she is not letting go of Dan Wilson. Her ego has taken a beating after President Trump annihilated all the hard work, she did in making sure that innocent Americans suffered the ultimate price, by the swipe of his pen.

In her response she asserts that only the things that occurred at the Capitol and only on January 6th are within the scope of the pardon.

If this is not fought and won by Wilson and his legal team, then every J6 defendant that had charges stemming from their J6 case, will be facing the return to prison.

Judge Friedrich is trying to set precedence so she can make that happen and her abusive legacy will stay intact.
