Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Friday announced that she is declassifying evidence of US-funded biolabs and gain-of-function research around the world as one of her final acts before stepping down as DNI. “After months of searching through intelligence community holdings and files, today I’m releasing longstanding US government funding of more than 120 bio labs in over 30 countries,” including Ukraine, she said in a video statement. She said the labs in Ukraine “likely housed dangerous pathogens,” and the US Intelligence Community previously warned that they were at risk of compromise due to the ongoing war. “Until now, evidence regarding the full existence and funding of these laboratories had been knowingly withheld from you, the American people,” Gabbard said. “Many of these US government-funded bio labs are currently or have previously engaged in research using hazardous and highly contagious pathogens, and in some cases included dangerous gain-of-function research with very little visibility or oversight.” "...politicians, so-called health professionals like Dr. Fauci, as well as entities within the Biden administration’s national security team, lied repeatedly to the American people about the existence of US-funded and supported biolabs,” she added. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/new-tulsi-gabbard-announces-shes-releasing-evidence-us/ @patrician If this doesn't make you want out of here, I don't know what would. I wanna go home!!! Federal authorities launched an investigation into a possible threat against President Donald Trump after “8647” — a number combo used to signify opposition to Trump — was found imprinted into the grass on the National Mall in Washington. The probe into the numbers, distinguishable as brown grass along a significant section of the Mall to the east of the World War II Memorial, is being led by the U.S. Park Police with a spokesperson saying tests were being conducted on samples of the grass to determine the cause of the discoloration. The Department of Interior, which is responsible for the Mall, called it “deranged vandalism” that it said was unacceptable. “Any threat against the President is taken very seriously by the Department, and our U.S. Park Police will investigate this incident and hold those responsible accountable,” said a spokesperson. The incident came three days before large crowds were expected in the vicinity Sunday for a UFC contest to mark Trump’s 80th birthday and only three weeks before celebrations in the capital marking the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence. The numbers, with “86” slang for canceling, dismissing or getting rid of something that when placed next to the number of the presidency — in Trump’s case 47 — are alleged to take on a malevolent connotation. That belief forms the basis of an ongoing criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey after he posted a beach photo online of shells alleged to have been purposely arranged to display “8647” in 2025. https://www.breitbart.com/news/u-s-park-police-launch-probe-after-8647-appears-on-washington-mall/ Taxpayers could be left with a big tab if the Obama Presidential Center experiences financial trouble because its foundation has not yet established a promised $470 million safety net to guard against a public bailout. The outlet’s investigation, published Saturday, found that “multiple contractors and subcontractors claiming losses ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions on the project, with some alleging they remain locked in payment disputes and face financial ruin…” As Breitbart News reported last November: The Obama library was originally estimated to cost $300 million, before the budget was revised upward to $500 million in 2017, and then further up to $700 million in 2021. Now, in a financial disclosure form, it appears it will cost much closer to $850 million to construct the mammoth grey monolith building in the South Side of Chicago in Jackson Park. Executives at the Obama Foundation “are among the best paid of all cultural centers in the nation, with CEO Valerie Jarrett paid $740,000 last year.” Robin Cohen, the executive vice president of the foundation, earned over $600,000 and Tina Chen, the group’s chief legal and people officer, earned $425,000. It reportedly has been entirely funded by private donations from individuals, corporations and other foundations. “One of their core promises was they were supposed to create an endowment as basically an insurance policy so the taxpayers wouldn’t get stuck with the bill,” Illinois GOP Chair Robert Grogan told Fox News Digital. He continued, “They promised hundreds of millions of dollars for it. It’s still sitting at the $1 million mark [where it stood] when they opened it up. So I don’t believe that they’ve kept that promise.” Adamson Plumbing President Mike Owen, for example, provided company spreadsheets which revealed that his firm is nearly $4 million in the hole, caused by delays, unnecessary rework, and more than 100 change-order requests. In less than a year, a sweeping federal anti-crime initiative in Memphis has reached a milestone that few law enforcement operations can match. According to reporting by The Epoch Times, the Memphis Safe Task Force has now made more than 10,000 arrests since its launch in September 2025, while also recovering more than 1,700 illegal firearms from city streets. The latest announcement came after task force officers arrested 42 additional suspects on June 9, pushing the total number of arrests to 10,000. The operation represents one of the most aggressive crime reduction efforts currently underway in the United States and reflects a broader push by the Trump administration to target violent crime in cities struggling with persistent public safety problems. The Memphis Safe Task Force was established through a presidential memorandum signed by President Donald Trump in September 2025. The memorandum argued that Memphis had been overwhelmed by violent crime and that local authorities needed additional support to restore public safety. According to the White House, the city had been “suffering from tremendous levels of violent crime that have overwhelmed its local government’s ability to respond effectively.” The memorandum also pointed to FBI data from 2024 showing Memphis had the highest per capita violent crime rate in the nation. The task force was designed as a multi-agency partnership, bringing together federal, state, and local law enforcement resources under a unified mission. Rather than focusing on a single category of crime, the operation was given a broad mandate aimed at attacking criminal activity from multiple directions at once. https://trump2028.news/10000-arrests-trumps-anti-crime-task-force-in-memphis-cleans-up/ The White House said Monday that the United States has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran that provides for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, lifting the United States naval blockade, and beginning a new phase of negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program, sanctions relief, frozen assets, and regional security. The memorandum also provides for the “immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz” and the “combined lifting of the naval blockade,” though the official said “immediate” would still take time because there are mines in the strait, ships “have different risk tolerances,” and some crews want to see “a little bit more stability.” The official said a significant increase in traffic through the strait is “actually starting already” and is expected to ramp up over time, while noting that “we probably won’t return to normal in two weeks.” Asked whether any frozen assets had been released to Iran upon signing, one senior U.S. official answered, “Zero,” adding that “$0 of unfrozen assets have been released by the United States or any other country.” Another official said the United States is “prepared to release frozen funds” and offer sanctions relief in phases, but only if Iran takes “verifiable and hopefully irreversible steps.” A senior U.S. official said the MOU “will be released publicly” and that “there’ll be no side deals,” while stressing that any sanctions relief, access to frozen funds, or support for investments — including the possibility of a “big $300 billion fund to rebuild their country” — would be “tied to performance.” Officials said Washington’s top priority is ensuring Iran does not rebuild its nuclear program, while sanctions relief would depend more broadly on Tehran “behaving more appropriately,” including by “not funding terrorism” or being “a source of instability in the region.” A senior official said the agreement does not require Israel to withdraw from Lebanon because “their withdrawal is not a condition of the deal.” The official said the arrangement is a ceasefire but “will not be a one-way ceasefire,” meaning Israel would retain the right to defend itself and respond if Iran cannot control Hezbollah or if Hezbollah attacks Israeli positions or towns.
