Glenn talks to bloggers about Brett Kimberlin Terrorism

This morning The Blaze broke one of the most important exposes that they have ever done.  Brett Kimberlin is a domestic terrorist who went to prison after setting off a series of bombs and served 17 years of a 50 year sentence before his ultimate re-absorption into American society.

Where’s he today? Working for Soros and terrorizing conservative bloggers. “You need to know who this man is,” Glenn said to listeners this morning. “He is now being funded by George Soros, the Tides Foundation, Barbara Streisand, Teresa Heinz-Kerry. His rap sheet includes forgery, perjury, drug dealing, domestic terrorism, possible murder; possible child molestation – he’s a sociopath, many believe a pathological liar.”

“He’s raising a steady stream of money from the left. He lives in Bethesda, MD – he’s 58 years old now,” Glenn cited. “And he’s raising this money because he’s saying ‘I will put conservative bloggers out of business’.”

Today, Michelle Malkin and other prominent conservative bloggers organized a blogburst to raise awareness of Kimberlin’s terrorism used to silence bloggers. Glenn, GBTV, and The Blaze are participating in this ‘day of exposure’ on who Glenn describes as “one of the most hideous people you’re ever going to meet.”

Glenn introduced listeners to two people that have “crossed paths” with Kimberlin and tried to expose him, Patrick Frey and Aaron Walker.

Glenn spoke with Pat first:

Pat explained that he is a blogger, and was friends with Andrew Breitbart. Andrew first him about Brett Kimberlin back in October of 2010, and that his website was going to be publishing a piece about him. Frey researched Kimberlin and decided to publish his own piece.

“Immediately after publishing my piece, Kimberlin threatened to sue me,” Pat told Glenn. “He told me that he filed over a hundred lawsuits, and another one against me would be no sweat – but it would cost me a lot of money. Then he complained to my workplace. He first called up two secretaries in my office – these poor secretaries – he told them that I'm a racist, a homophobe that I was stalking him, and that he was going to get a restraining order against me. And keep in mind that all I did was write a blog post about the guy. And he complained to my bosses at work, and then after that it got even uglier.”

Glenn asked Pat to describe what Kimberlin has been doing on his website, Occupy Accountability. Frey explained that someone on that website wrote a post that included the street address to his home, including pictures of Google street views and aerial views of his home. In the same post they also did the same to what they thought was Andrew Breitbart’s home. “He and his confederates have stalked people online and have published pictures of people from court documents. They will get somebody into court, and they get a picture of them while they're walking through the court house,” Frey explained.

Pat also explained that someone also made a call to the police claiming to be him, saying that he had shot his wife. They gave his address, so when the police came pounding on his door there was a helicopter flying overhead and pointed guns in his face.

Pat, whose day job is being a prosecutor, told Glenn that these types of attacks have happened to other critics of Kimberlin’s as well. You can read Pat’s full story on his blog and follow him on Twitter @Patterico.

Glenn also spoke with Aaron Walker, another target of Brett Kimberlin’s, who is also a lawyer and a blogger. Glenn foreshadowed to Walker’s story by telling listeners, “it ends with Kimberlin warning, “I would suggest, Mr. Walker, that you leave me alone,” to which Walker replied, “I will continue to tell the truth about you.” His life is in danger. He fears for his life. He has lost his job.”

Aaron explained that Kimberlin started coming after him because he was sueing another man, Seth Allen, who is actually a fairly liberal guy. Walker explained that Seth Allen was appalled by the way Kimberlin, a domestic terrorist, was being welcomed into liberal circles. “He kind of made it a crusade of his to try to expose the truth about this guy,” Walker said.

Allen reached out to Walker after Kimberlin sued him, he couldn’t take his case, but helped him find someone who could and gave him as much help as he could. “That was enough to put me on Kimberlin’s enemies list,” Walker said.

Walker went on to explain how Kimberlin filed a subpoena with Comcast and Google to obtain his identity (Walker had formerly blogged anonymously). Kimberlin filed a motion to quash those subpoenas by pointing out the Kimberlin had lied under oath in order to obtain the injunctions. Pointing this put Walker on a path to becoming ‘enemy number 1.’ And things continued to escalate from there. You can hear the full story in the interview above, and read the story with all of the documentation on Aaron’s blog. You can also follow Aaron on Twitter at @aaronworthing.

“Look, here's the thing.  Conservative bloggers, and Michelle Malkin is one of them, people have got to stand together,” Glenn said.  “And The Blaze, our bloggers, our journalists, GBTV, and GB Radio have dedicated today as we're going to participate and expose America to what is going on.  The bloggers have all gotten together and said, ‘please, can we do this together?  Can we all go and take these stories and tweet them.  I don't care what source you get them from.  If Michelle Malkin is doing it, Breitbart's doing it today, whoever's doing it today, tweet it, please. Put it on your Facebook.  Get the story, the whole story, and it's amazing.  The whole story is on TheBlaze.com right now, the front page, about the guy who is being funded by the Tides Foundation, George Soros' operation, Tides Foundation, Barbra Streisand, of all people, and more.  Teresa Heinz.  This is a dangerous situation, and sunlight is the best disinfectant.  We'll continue to follow the story, and we ask you to read it and pass it on to others because most people who are in this man's path are afraid.  There's strength in numbers.  Hopefully someday we'll see this story on the mainstream media.  Until that time, they'll continue to make themselves irrelevant by talking about things that you're not.”

Trump's education secretary has BIG plans for the DoE

Our education system is broken, and the Department of Education is a massive failure. But that all ends now.

It's no secret that America's school system is seriously lacking in many ways. President Trump pointed out that despite our massive spending per pupil, we are behind most of the developed world in most metrics. Our scores continue to plummet while our student debt and spending skyrocket—it's utterly unacceptable performance and America's students deserve better.

That's where Linda McMahon, Trump's pick for Secretary of Education comes in.

The former WWE CEO and leader of the U.S. Small Business Administration during Trump's first term, McMahon laid out her harsh criticisms of the DoE during a confirmation hearing on the 13th and revealed her promising plans to turn things around. McMahon described the public education system as "in decline" and promised that under her authority, the DoE would be reoriented towards student success.

Here are the top three changes to the Department of Education:

1. Dismantling the Department of Education

From the beginning Trump's orders for McMahon were clear: oversee the end of the Department of Education.

During her Thursday hearing, McMahon clarified what dismantling the DoE would entail. As Democrats have repeatedly pointed out, Trump does not have the authority to destroy the DoE without Congressional consent, as an act of Congress created it. That is why Trump and McMahon's plan is to start by shutting down programs that can be stopped by executive action, then approach Congress with a plan to dismantle the Department for good. The executive orders have already begun to take effect, and once McMahon is confirmed she will author a plan for Congress to close the Department.

McMahon also promised that the end of the Department of Education does not mean an end to all the programs currently undertaken by the doomed department. Programs that are deemed beneficial will be transferred (along with their funding) to departments that are more suited to the task. The example given by McMahon was IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) funding, which instead of being cut would be transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services.

2. School Choice

In a huge win for parents across the country, McMahon pledged her support for School Choice. School Choice is the idea of allowing parents to enroll their student in any school of their choice, including religious schools and private schools. It would also mean that part or all of the funding that would have gone to a relocated child would follow them and continue to pay for their education.

This gives parents the ability to remove their children from failing schools and seek a better education for them elsewhere. A growing body of evidence suggests that the way we run our schools isn't working, and it is time to try something new. School Choice opens up education to the free market and will allow for competition.

Our children deserve better than what we can currently offer them.

3. COVID and DEI

Trump's government-wide crackdown on DEI will ironically serve to increase inclusion in many American schools.

McMahon said as much during her Senate hearing: “It was put in place ostensibly for more diversity, for equity and inclusion. And I think what we’re seeing is, it is having an opposite effect. We are getting back to more segregating of our schools instead of having more inclusion in our schools.” She also spoke in support of Title IX, and the push to remove biological males from women's and girl's sports. In the same vein, McMahon pledged to push back against the rise of antisemitism on college campuses, which many Universities have failed to adequately address.

On Friday, February 14th, President Trump signed an executive order barring any school or university with COVID-19 vaccine mandates from receiving federal money. This only applies to the COVID-19 vaccine, and other vaccine mandates are still standing.

POLL: What DARK government secrets will Trump uncover?

Will the dark secrets of the Deep State finally see the light of day? Or will they slip back into darkness, as they have many times before?

The Trump administration is gearing up to fulfill one of Trump's most anticipated campaign promises: to make the contents of the JFK files, along with other Deep State secrets, available to the public. Kash Patel, who has promised to publicize the highly anticipated files, is expected to be confirmed next week as Trump's director of the FBI. Moreover, the House Oversight Committee created a new task force headed by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called "Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets," which is tasked with investigating and declassifying information on the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, UFOs, the Epstein list, COVID's origins, and 9/11. This all comes after the FBI found 2,400 "new" records relating to the assassination of President Kennedy following Trump's executive order to release the files.

Glenn discussed this topic with the cast of the Patrick Bet David podcast. Glenn expressed his confidence in Trump's radical transparency—on the condition that Kash Patel is confirmed. The cast was not as optimistic, expressing some doubt about whether Trump will actually unveil all that he has promised. But what do you think? What files are likely to see the light of day? And what files will continue to linger in the dark? Let us know in the poll below

Do you think the JFK, RFK, and MLK files will be unveiled?

Do you think the 9/11 files will be unveiled?

Do you think the COVID files will be unveiled?

Do you think the UFO files will be unveiled?

Do you think the Epstein list will be unveiled?

Transgender opera in Colombia? 10 SHOCKING ways USAID spent your tax dollars.

MANDEL NGAN / Contributor | Getty Images

The government has been doing what with our tax money!?

Under the determined eye of Elon Musk, DOGE has rooted out the corruption that permeates USAID, and it turns out that it's worse than we thought. Glenn recently read a list of atrocious causes that were funded by USAID, and the list was as long as it was shocking.

Since the January consumer index report was published today, one thing is clear: eggs are bearing the brunt of inflation. That's why we illustrated the extent of USAID's wasteful spending of YOUR taxpayer dollars by comparing it to the price of eggs. How many eggs could the American people have bought with their tax dollars that were given to a "transgender opera" in Colombia or indoctrinating Sri Lankans with woke gender ideology? The truth will shock you:

1. A “transgender opera” in Colombia

USAID spent $47,000 on a transgender opera in Colombia. That's over 135,000 eggs.

2. Sex changes and "LGBT activism" in Guatemala

$2 million was spent funding sex changes along with whatever "LGBT activism" means. That equates to over 5.7 million eggs!

3. Teaching Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid binary-gendered language

USAID forked over $7.9 million to combat the "gender binary" in Sri Lankan journalism. That could have bought nearly 23 million eggs.

4. Tourism in Egypt

$6 million (or just over 17 million eggs) was spent to fund tourism in Egypt. If only someone had thought to build some impressive landmarks...

5. A new "Sesame Street" show in Iraq

USAID spent $20 million to create a new Sesame Street show in Iraq. That's just short of 58 million eggs...

6. Helping the BBC value the diversity of Libyan society

$2.1 million was sent to the BBC (the British Broadcasting Corporation) to help them value the diversity of Libyan society (whatever that means). That could have bought over 6 million eggs.

7. Meals for a terrorist group linked to Al-Qaeda

$10 million worth of USAID-funded meals went to an Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group. That comes up to be just shy of 29 million eggs.

8. Promoting inclusion in Vietnam 

A combined $19.3 million was sent to two separate inclusion groups in Vietnam inclusion groups in Vietnam (why where they separated? Not very inclusive of them). That's over 55 million eggs.

9. Promoting DEI in Serbia's workplaces

USAID sent $1.5 million (4.3 million eggs) to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities.”

10. Funding EcoHealth Alliance, tied to the Wuhan Institute of Virology's "bat research"

EcoHealth Alliance, one of the key NGOs that funded the Wuhan lab's bat virus research, received $5 million from USAID, which is equivalent to 14.5 million eggs.

The bottom line...

So, how much damage was done?

In total, approximately $73.8 million was wasted on the items on this list. That comes out to be 213 million eggs. Keep in mind that these are just the items on this list, there are many, many more that DOGE has uncovered and will uncover in the coming days. Case in point: that's a lot of eggs.

POLL: Should Trump stop producing pennies?

SAUL LOEB / Contributor, Chip Somodevilla / Staff | Getty Images

On Sunday, February 9th, President Trump ordered the U.S. Mint to halt the production of pennies. It costs the mint three cents to produce every penny, which Trump deemed wasteful. However, critics argue that axing the pennies will be compensated by ramping up nickel production, which costs 13 cents per coin.

In other news, President Trump promised on Truth Social that he would be reversing a Biden-era policy that mandated the use of paper straws throughout the federal government. From potentially slashing entire agencies to saying farewell to pennies and paper straws, Trump is hounding after wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars.

But what do you think? Was Trump right to put an end to pennies? And should plastic straws make a comeback? Let us know in the poll below:

Should Trump stop the production of pennies? 

Do you agree with Trump's reversal of the plastic straw ban?
