) and is known for her "truth-teller" persona.Her New Information on the Trump ShooterOn November 17, 2025, Devine published an explosive op-ed in the New York Post titled "America deserves answers: Investigate Thomas Crooks and the FBI’s mishandled first probe." This piece, based on information from an anonymous source, reveals a massive "digital footprint" left by Thomas Matthew Crooks—the 20-year-old who attempted to assassinate then-candidate Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. Crooks fired eight shots from a rooftop, grazing Trump's ear, killing firefighter Corey Comperatore (50), and critically injuring two other attendees before being killed by Secret Service snipers.Devine's reporting directly contradicts repeated FBI statements (from then-Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Paul Abbate) that Crooks was a "ghost" with no discernible motive or significant online presence. Instead, her source uncovered 17 online accounts linked to Crooks via his phone number and primary email, spanning platforms like YouTube, Snapchat, Venmo, Zelle, GroupMe, Discord, Google Play, Quizlet, Chess.com, Quora, GAB, and DeviantArt. This trail shows Crooks' radicalization was "visible for years in public online spaces," including violent rhetoric and threats that were even flagged by other users who mentioned law enforcement in replies.Key Revelations from Devine's Reporting:Ideological Flip (Early 2020): As a teen (15–17 years old), Crooks was a "rabidly pro-Trump" supporter, posting extreme anti-Democrat content and violent fantasies against them. He praised Trump, Fox News, and mocked Republican concerns over mail-in voting. Then, around the COVID-19 pandemic (January–August 2020), he did a "180-degree flip" to virulent anti-Trump hatred, espousing antisemitic, anti-immigration themes, and calls for political violence. He went "dark" after August 2020 and posted nothing publicly again. Devine notes this omitted section was left out when Abbate briefed Congress in 2024, misleading lawmakers.

Furry Fetish and Gender Exploration: On DeviantArt (usernames "epicmicrowave" and "theepicmicrowave"), Crooks showed an "obsession with scantily clad cartoon characters" featuring muscle-bound male bodies with female heads—tied to the "furry" subculture (anthropomorphic animal art/fetish). He used "they/them" pronouns there, suggesting exploration of gender identity. This platform is a major hub for furry communities, and the account links to his email.

Broader Digital Presence and Threats: Accounts on GAB (as "EpicMicrowave," confirmed by CEO Andrew Torba) and others reveal threats of assassination and "obsession with political violence" under his real name. Devine's source used basic tracking methods (starting with Crooks' phone number) that the FBI should have easily accessed. One Venmo link bizarrely tied to a "David Swanson" (who denied any connection and doesn't use PayPal), adding intrigue.

FBI Cover-Up Allegations: Devine accuses the FBI of either botching the probe or deliberately withholding info, echoing their mishandling of cases like Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz (where Wray was involved). She demands a fresh investigation, full transparency from the FBI/Secret Service, and questions why this "trail a blind man could follow" was ignored—especially since Crooks' posts were public and flagged.

Broader Context and Reactions:This scoop aligns with parallel reporting from Tucker Carlson (via his network) and journalist Julio Rosas, who uncovered similar Crooks accounts, including Discord brags and Google Maps searches of the rally site days prior. It also draws eerie parallels to the recent attempted assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk by Tyler Robinson, who shared a "furry" interest and used similar DeviantArt handles. Devine appeared on Fox News' America Reports on November 17 to discuss, emphasizing: "The danger Crooks posed was visible... His radicalization, violent rhetoric and obsession with political violence were all documented."Critics, including Devine, point to this as evidence of FBI incompetence or bias under the prior administration, fueling calls for accountability as Trump prepares for his second term. Mainstream outlets have been slower to cover, with some (like NewsBusters) accusing them of omission.For the full op-ed, check Devine's NY Post piece. If you're looking for her X posts, she hasn't directly tweeted about this yet (as of November 18), but discussions are exploding across the platform. Let me know if you want deeper dives into specific accounts or related stories!

Tucker anti western propoganda

 Tucker's Qatar Claim: Fact-Checking the "Zero Rapes" MythTucker Carlson recently claimed on his podcast (August 2025) that Qatar has "zero rapes" under Sharia law, using it to argue that Islamic legal systems outperform Western democracies in maintaining order. During an interview with Seth Harp, he praised Sharia for low reported crime, low abortion rates, and no same-sex marriage—positioning it as a model for conservatives frustrated with American liberalism.This is propaganda wrapped in contrarianism—cherry-picked stats that ignore harsh realities. Here’s the breakdown:The Claim's Flaw: "Zero Rapes" Isn't Safety—It's SuppressionOfficial stats vs. reality: Qatar reports near-zero rapes because Sharia-based laws make reporting dangerous for victims. Rape requires four male Muslim witnesses (or a confession), or it's treated as zina (adultery/fornication). Women who report assault often face imprisonment, flogging, or worse for "e...

Qatar Anti-Anerican funding

  Qatar's Spending Overview Qatar, a major Gulf state with significant oil and gas revenues, channels funds through government entities like the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), Qatar Foundation, and state-linked charities (e.g., Qatar Charity). These often support humanitarian, educational, and political goals but have drawn criticism for advancing Qatari foreign policy interests, including ties to Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Below, I break down spending in the requested categories based on public reports, FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) filings, U.S. Department of Education disclosures, and analyses from think tanks like ISGAP and the Middle East Forum. Figures are approximate and cumulative where specified; recent years (2023–2025) show acceleration amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. 1. Funding to American Colleges Qatar is the largest foreign donor to U.S. higher education, primarily via the Qatar Foundation (a state-controlled entity) for branc...

EU and X

 LEFT WING RESEARCHERS WANT TO LIMIT RIGHT WING DIALOGE! The EU's DSA requirement for researcher data access (Article 40) gives "vetted" researchers—typically academics or non-profits approved by national regulators—easier access to public X data like post engagement, views, and networks. The official goal is studying "systemic risks" (e.g., disinformation spread). Critics argue this can chill or deter honest/open dialogue in these ways:Broad and subjective labeling of "disinformation" or "harmful" speech: Researchers studying political topics can flag dissenting or unpopular views (e.g., on immigration, elections, gender issues, or COVID policies) as "misinformation" if they don't align with mainstream narratives, leading to reports that pressure platforms or governments to suppress them. Doxxing and harassment risks: Detailed data (e.g., who engages with controversial posts) can reveal user networks or identities, even if post...
