As previouslyreported, Congress has a rampant sexual harassment problem. In fact the problem is so bad that female lawmakers and aides keep a ‘creep list’ of men who are notorious for lewd behavior.
As if this couldn’t get any worse, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) told MSNBC’s Chuck Todd Tuesday that taxpayers have paid over $15 million to settle sexual harassment lawsuits against members of Congress!
TAXPAYER MONEY.
A new report by CNN exposes the DC swamp’s very serious problem of powerful men preying on women. CNN spoke with over 50 current and former lawmakers, aides and staff who have personally experienced sexual harassment on The Hill or know people who have.
Women are subjected to sexual harassment by their male colleagues and avoid reporting it out of fear of career-ending retaliation.
A female Senate staffer told CNN she had an experience with a male lawmaker in an elevator that left her horrified.
Multiple females told CNN that elevators on Capitol Hill are known places for male lawmakers to prey on women. One woman said she still gets anxiety about being in an elevator alone with a man.
Jackie Speier testified in front of the House Administration Committee Tuesday that two members of Congress that one Republican and one Democrat engaged in sexual harassment.
“I think moving forward we have got to take steps to make sure that there is transparency. That in fact, the harasser is not going to have the settlement paid for out of the U.S. Treasury and have all the taxpayers paying for it. It should be something that is paid for by the individual,” Speier said.
Chuck Todd asked if the public has a right to know who these members of Congress are being that the taxpayers have paid for their sexual harassment settlements.
“Well, I think you do have the right to know. But right now, under the system, you don’t have a right to know. We do know there is about $15 million that has been paid out by the House on behalf of harassers in the last 10 to 15 years,” Speier said.
How much more are the American people going to take from the DC swamp?! Not only do they waste taxpayer money on bloated government bureaucracy, they are also allowed to privately settle sexual harassment lawsuits with our money??
Why the hell are hardworking Americans paying for the sins of these disgusting sexual abusers?? Every single one of these Congressmen should be named and publicly shamed. They should receive ZERO benefits or pensions and must be forced to pay the settlements out of their own pockets!
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) had a strong message for those who want to release only the ethics reports they think will harm President Trump’s prospective appointees: They should be prepared to release ALL ethics reports from the House and Senate for the American people to see.
The House Ethics Committee was going to release the report on Gaetz last Friday, but because he resigned from Congress, the committee lost jurisdiction.
However, the Deep State has been selectively leaking parts of the report to the media, and now a ‘hacker’ has obtained a trove of documents from the ‘damaging’ report.
Gaetz has denied the allegations and the Justice Department declined to bring charges after investigating the matter.
For my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate,
If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see.
Yes..
all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed
all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victims with tax payer money
the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews
but not just those, there’s more, Epstein wasn’t/isn’t the only asset
If we’re going to dance, let’s all dance in the sunlight.
I’ll make sure we do
In 2017, The Gateway Pundit reported on Congress’ rampant sexual harassment problem. By 2017, in a figure that has undoubtedly increased in the subsequent years that have followed, U.S. taxpayers have shelled out over $15 million to settle sexual harassment lawsuits against members of Congress.
Border Czar Tom Homan called Boston’s Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu dumb
Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan slammed Boston’s Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu for her announcement that the city would resist cooperation with the Trump administration’s plans for mass deportations.
Homan, known for his hardline stance on immigration, did not mince words, calling Wu’s position “misguided” and accusing her of putting politics ahead of public safety.
Wu made headlines during a Sunday interview with WCVB, where she vowed that Boston would not cooperate with the incoming administration’s deportation efforts.
Her remarks come as the region grapples with a surge in illegal immigration, including cases of individuals with criminal charges being released back into local communities, according to Fox News.
“Elections have consequences, and the federal government is responsible for a certain set of actions, and cities, no individual city, can reverse or override some parts of that,” she said.
“But what we can do is make sure that we are doing our part to protect our residents in every possible way, that we are not cooperating with those efforts that actually threaten the safety of everyone by causing widespread fear and and having large scale economic impact.”
“And then we are providing the spaces to reach out directly to our residents, because the last thing we want is for people who are part of our economy, part of our school system, part of our community and the fabric of our city, to feel that all of a sudden they have to retreat into the shadows with because of fear that reaching out to city services, whether it’s calling 911, when you need it, or taking your child to school, those are all city services that have nothing to do with immigration enforcement, and we will continue to protect our residents within those spaces,” she added.
WATCH:
Homan, appointed by President Trump to spearhead border enforcement, wasted no time responding.
In a blunt interview with Greg Kelly, he dismantled Wu’s rationale and warned of the potential legal consequences for her administration.
“Well, she’s not very smart, I’ll give her that because I just said… President Trump’s going to prioritize public safety threats,” Homan said.
“What mayor or governor doesn’t want public safety threats out of their communities? That’s our number one responsibility; to protect their communities and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”
“So she helps us, [or] she gets the hell out of the way because we’re going to do it. Look, there’s a clear line here. They can’t cross a clear line. I would suggest she read Title 8, United States Code 1324 III that says you can’t harbor conceal an illegal alien.”
“So I hope she don’t cross that line. They can not cooperate, but there are certain laws in place that they can’t cross and I hope she doesn’t cross it.”

The news of President Trump’s return to the Oval Office and his excellent cabinet nominations may be causing Biden Deep State officials to undertake desperate measures to evade accountability.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump sent shockwaves throughout the political world on last Wednesday after announcing Gaetz as America’s next leading law enforcement official.
Trump called him a “deeply gifted and tenacious attorney” who will “end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations, and restore Americans’ badly shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.”
Moreover, Trump said Gaetz as Attorney General would “root out the systemic corruption at DOJ, and return the Department to its true mission of fighting Crime, and upholding our Democracy and Constitution.”
Now, a potentially alarming development may be underway.
On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee’s X account obtained footage of a truck from a paper-shredding company stationed outside the DOJ.
While it’s unclear exactly why the truck was there, the fact that this vehicle arrived just before Trump entered office again is noteworthy. Could Biden DOJ officials be trying to destroy evidence that could implicate them in various crimes?
LOOK:
Perhaps no other government agency has been corrupted by far-left Deep State bureaucrats more than the Department of Justice under the Biden regime. Officials led by corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland have used the Department to persecute pro-lifers, J6 protesters, parents objecting to DEI and pro-trans school policies, and other conservatives simply for exercising their First Amendment rights.
Most infamously, though, the Regime has wielded the DOJ as a weapon to take out Trump because he dared to run for President again.
As TGP readers know, Garland authorized the FBI to launch a Gestapo-style raid on Trump’s Mar-A-Lago home supposedly over documents he had taken from the White House after leaving. in the process, Trump’s safe was broken into.
This raid came despite his team cooperating with the Biden regime. Moreover, agents had authorization to KILL Trump during the raid if necessary. Trump was thankfully not home during the time.
When this did not work, they unleashed Dirty Jack Smith to try to have Trump thrown in prison while hiding evidence that would render their case against Trump null and void.
They also targeted Trump for his perfectly lawful actions during the 2020 presidential campaign, objecting to the election results.
Given these facts, several papers at the department if brought into the open could probably send many of these thugs away to prison.
Little wonder why they would never want the documents to see the light of da
On Thursday’s edition of Salem Media’s “America First with Sebastian Gorka,” “Alex Marlow Show” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said that President Obama’s use of recess appointments during his presidency has created the precedent for President-Elect Donald Trump to use recess appointments for any nominees that can’t get Senate approval.
Marlow stated that while attorney general nominee former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) may not be able to get confirmed, but that might be irrelevant “because of the idea of a recess appointment, which, until Barack Obama, was rarely used. But Obama used it for routine appointments that weren’t going to get through the Senate. So, now, the precedent’s there and Trump can do this.”
Another great example of the Garbage in the Democrat Controlled Media
All too frequently, mainstream media outlets spot the problems, but refuse to tell the truth about the causes. Here, CNN via Yahoo News identifies the problem of high prices for cars, which also causes insurance and repair costs to skyrocket, but fails to acknowledge the actual cause of the surging price:
If you haven’t been car shopping in a while, brace yourself
It’s called sticker shock. And if you haven’t been to a dealer’s showroom since before the pandemic, you might want to prepare yourself.
Americans paid a whopping $47,612 on average for a new car in October, according to data from Edmunds. That’s a jump of almost $10,000 from October 2019, ahead of the pandemic. That means new car prices have risen much faster than most goods and services.
The price jump has multiple origin stories: The pandemic snarled supply chains and limited essential car parts. Buyers increasingly prefer larger cars with more features, continuing the decades-long shift to bigger, more expensive SUVs and trucks.
But much of the reason Americans are paying nearly $50k for a car is that automakers decided to go all-in on expensive cars. The more they charge for a car, the more money they make off it.
First, they blame the pandemic—the Democrats’ go-to—to deflect blame from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s high inflation policies, like big spending and attacking affordable energy. Then they blame the public for wanting bigger cars and trucks, and then they blame greed by automakers—another go-to reason to deflect culpability away from themselves.
Isn’t it amazing that the automakers and other companies weren’t as greedy while Trump was president, even during the depths of the pandemic? Isn’t it strange that the massive corporations only became greedy once Democrats took office?
The real reason prices of vehicles have skyrocketed is because Biden, Harris, and all the green pushers (including the media) forced the auto companies to invest tens of billions of dollars switching to impractical, inefficient, and expensive cars and trucks that people don’t want. They pretend that this will change the climate.
The companies are dumping massive amounts of money into the net zero scheme, and losing billions of dollars on electric vehicles. The high prices on gas vehicles is because carmakers have to jack up the prices to cover the disastrous losses caused by the regulatory (and forced) move to electric. It is not greed. It is survival.
They also pay billions to buy worthless carbon credits to pretend they comply with unrealistic mileage requirements.
The media is spending a lot of time rewriting history and covering up the disastrous inflationary effect of Democrat—especially green pusher—regulations.
Inflation is a weapon, and the aim is to destroy the purchasing power of the poor and middle class, people about whom the Democrats claim to care. The rich can afford these electric toys and the inflation, not the rest of us.
Democrats lost because of one reason: their policies are unpopular and destructive.
......and to think all these corrupt dirty Bastards want a free pass. They think Trump is a Dictator if he goes after his "enemies"? He needs to go after the Stinking Rot in the Government entities that went after him unconstitutionally
2021 ABC World News Tonight segment on Julian Khater and George Tanios
After January 6, many false narratives were disseminated to the public in the form of atrocity propaganda. One of the most pernicious was that hundreds of Capitol Police and Metro Police were seriously injured at the Capitol, and worse, cops died on January 6.
In fact, many of the injuries sustained by police on January 6 were self-inflicted, and no cops died on January 6. This reality did not stop the propagation of the lie that Officer Brian Sicknick was murdered on January 6. Initially, it was claimed that Sicknick was beaten over the head with a fire extinguisher. This lie was then revised to him passing away from exposure to chemical irritants sprayed by rioters.
In March of 2021, two men, Julian Khater and George Tanios, would become codefendants after being framed for the alleged murder of Officer Sicknick. I met Julian Khater in April of 2021 after he’d arrived in the DC Gulag’s “patriot pod” C2B. Julian got absolutely railroaded after January 6. He didn’t kill Officer Brian Sicknick, and yet that’s the narrative the government and media ran with without any evidence.
Authorities eventually admitted that Sicknick died of natural causes. He was never killed by a fire extinguisher, nor because Khater and Tanios sprayed him with mace. Khater’s codefendant, George Tanios, was ordered released from pretrial detention in August of 2021 following the Munchel decision.
The Munchel ruling resulted in some January 6 defendants getting bond after having been previously denied it
Bizarrely, the Munchel decision was not applied to Julian. In fact, most January 6 defendants in the DC jail should’ve been released on bond, including Julian, by the standards of the DC Circuit. He had no past felony convictions, no extremist ties, and no post-January 6 criminal behavior.
(Julian Khater, myself, Jeff McKellop, Pete Schwartz, and Jorden Mink joke around with a jail laptop in 2022)
While most of us in the DC Gulag goofed around during what little time we had to socialize, Julian was, in fact, a saint compared to myself and others. The Julian I knew in the DC jail was one of the most docile, religious men to have been there. Being a Lebanese-American, Julian is a devout Maronite Catholic. After Shane Jenkins ended his ministry activities in C2B’s Second Bible Study, Julian took over Shane’s duties without a fuss.
When many inmates grew uncomfortable with provocateurs infiltrating study sessions to promote the assassination of politicians, the Second Bible Study was abolished. At times, it felt that nothing was sacred and that even within a religious body meant to honor God, we political prisoners had to be suspicious of speech meant to entrap us. We formed a third group, uncreatively named the “Third Bible Study,” headed by myself alongside Julian, Shane, and Pete Schwartz. Two Catholics and two Protestants. It was here that Julian truly shined as he was able to discuss scripture among peers in good faith. When I bought a dozen theology books for C2B he was one of the few actually interested in reading them. To this day, he continues to immerse himself in theology while wasting away in prison. Recently, his family passed on a book to me which Julian finished reading about the life of Saint Charbel. Julian was quiet but also a thoughtful, studious man, and loyal beyond compare.
While the courts dropped assault charges against George Tanios, who pled to a misdemeanor charge and was sentenced to time served, Julian Khater was forced to plead guilty to a felony and sentenced to over 6 years in prison. Julian spent 2 years in the DC jail, much of it in solitary confinement before finally being transferred to federal prison. His case is a tragedy among tragedies. If he had gone to trial, he’d have had a biased jury like all defendants, but far worse. Deliberate disinformation was used to prejudice any possible DC jury more than they already would be regarding January 6. I know firsthand how that works following my swift jury conviction for nonviolent charges. Unfortunately, when Julian took a plea deal, they railroaded him even harder. Spraying a cop isn’t good, but the feds and the court cared more about saving a narrative about a cop’s death than about the duty to save a young man’s life.
I’m still amazed that Julian Khater could be sentenced to nearly 7 years for headlines. Like many of us caught up in January 6, he was smeared by the feds and media. However, unlike the rest of us, he was framed as the murderer of Officer Sicknick. I’ve been slandered as an extremist, but Julian will be called a cop-killer by unhinged leftists for the rest of his life, even if Trump pardons him. In September of this year, Kamala Harris lied during her debate with President Trump, claiming officers died on January 6, demonstrating how the lies surrounding January 6 continue to echo through history years after the fact.
Upon leaving prison myself, I made it my goal to exonerate as many of the men from the DC Gulag I left behind as humanly possible. While some video of Julian Khater on January 6 was circulated in media hit-pieces, few journalists actually attempted to contextualize Julian macing the cops on the West Terrace. Lazy journalism at best, weaponized propaganda at worst. Nobody cared. One of the major headlines for January 6 defendants, alongside the Oath Keeper and Proud Boy cases, and nobody cared to report the truth?
I synced video and audio from released BWC (body-worn cameras) with released CCTV (closed circuit television) and zoomed into the spot where Julian and George were. I also checked the government’s own transcripts from the beginning when they alleged his dangerousness. Guess what?
Julian Khater only sprayed at cops after police had already begun hosing down entire sections of peaceful protestors. Khater was, in fact, sprayed more than once, despite harming no one, before retaliating with a pocket-sized mace dispenser. And even by the government’s own transcripts from January 6, Julian said “They just f***ing sprayed ME!” Julian got 80 months – six and a half years – for spraying mace at cops who sprayed him first without justification. Over 6 years, for 3 seconds of mace. Absolutely insane. This is compounded by the fact that this evidence was not provided to Julian as he languished behind bars, a due process violation meant to force him into taking a plea deal.
And worse, Julian is being sued by the ex-girlfriend of Officer Sicknick… somehow. On top of having an insane sentence for using a weak mace and after being slandered for years as a cop-killer, Julian’s currently facing a frivolous lawsuit over the death of a cop he didn’t kill. A wrongful death claim for Sicknick was already dismissed against President Trump earlier this year. Yet Julian Khater is still forced to bear the burden of a civil suit pending against him while he continues to serve a prison sentence for a crime he didn’t commit.
Julian Khater’s family have expended a burdensome amount of wealth to fight Julian’s criminal charges and pending civil suit. I ask that anyone willing to show support to my fellow political hostage do so HERE:
This is a gross miscarriage of justice. Please donate to help Julian in his current federal and future baseless civil battle to clear his name and fight back against the machine and the swamp. Thank you for your support and for standing up for American ideals and justice.
President Trump has promised to make innocent January 6 defendants whole again, and for that I am hopeful. Many January 6 defendants have been framed and smeared, but not all to the same degree. I’m a crude satirist who was framed as a Nazi, sure.
But Julian was a straight-laced private citizen who was framed as a cop killer. That’s a form of smearing I don’t think any other defendant comes close to. I will never abandon my brother Julian, nor should America.
