Odds of Love: A Probability Study Proving Jasmine Crockett’s Race Baiting Ignores the Real Challenges of Finding a Conservative Black Match

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Representative Jasmine Crockett’s recent criticism of Representative Byron Donalds for marrying a white woman highlights a regressive mindset steeped in ignorance and racial bias, casting doubt on her ability to engage with the diverse realities of American life.

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1906302926571618409

By implying that Donalds has been “whitewashed” through his interracial marriage, Crockett clings to outdated stereotypes that dictate racial loyalty over personal agency, exposing her own hypocrisy in advocating for equality while policing others’ private choices. This narrow perspective stands in stark contrast to the evolving dynamics of relationships across racial lines, as evidenced by a probabilistic analysis of partner selection among conservative Black individuals. To illustrate the complexity of such dynamics, consider the following study estimating the likelihood of a conservative Black man finding and marrying a conservative Black woman who aligns with his values—a scenario Crockett might deem more “acceptable,” yet one fraught with its own...

🧨 The Deep State’s Attempt to Spin Damning Declassified Evidence

As declassified documents continue to expose what appears to be a coordinated intelligence operation against Donald Trump, the Deep State and their media allies are in full damage-control mode.

Case in point: Fox News just featured an op-ed by former CIA officer and Biden State Department spokesman Ned Price, attempting to “debunk” the bombshells released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

Make no bones about it, this isn’t an objective counterpoint. This is a narrative-management operation by a career Deep State insider.

🕵️‍♂️ Here’s What They’re Trying to Sell You:
That Obama couldn’t have led a coup because… he congratulated Trump after the election. (Yes, seriously.)

That Gabbard is using “sleight of hand” and “conflating” terms, even though her claims are backed by declassified U.S. intelligence.

That the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) was sound , even though multiple internal reviews, the Durham Report, and Senate oversight found evidence it was politicized.

Why Subpoena Them If They’ll Plead the Fifth? Because It’s Protocol for Prosecution.

Here is what many do not understand. I get the frustration but there is a method to the madness. Let me explain.

Subpoenaing Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Clapper, and others over the RussiaGate scandal (even if they ultimately plead the Fifth) is not just a procedural move; it’s a necessary step in any serious pursuit of justice and public accountability.

🔹 Why Subpoena Them?

1. Establish the Record:

You must formally bring these individuals under oath to compel their testimony. Whether they answer or invoke the Fifth, the act of subpoenaing is essential to build the official record and demonstrate due diligence in investigating the alleged conspiracy.

2. Indictment Requires Precedent:

Before a prosecutor can credibly seek an indictment (especially against former high-level officials) there must be an evidentiary trail. That includes prior sworn testimony or refusal to testify. Subpoenaing them is a legal and political prerequisite to indictments.

3. Public Opinion Matters:

How to Prevent Temporary Work Status from Becoming a Pathway to Citizenship

As Congress debates proposals like Rep. Maria Salazar’s Dignity Act (H.R. 4393), which offers temporary legal work status to undocumented immigrants, it is essential to demand ironclad safeguards to prevent any backdoor pathway to citizenship. Though marketed as a limited fix for labor shortages, the Dignity Act risks becoming a stepping stone to amnesty without strict statutory limits. This is something history has repeatedly shown can happen.

Other legislative efforts (such as proposed tweaks to the H-2A visa program or Temporary Protected Status (TPS) provisions within broader packages like the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1)) are more narrowly focused. These alternatives address specific visa categories or enforcement priorities but do not provide comprehensive legal status to undocumented workers. That makes the Dignity Act uniquely broad and therefore especially in need of close scrutiny and firm constraints.

To ensure that any temporary worker program remains truly temporary, Congress must...

Restoring Federalism: Repealing Selective Incorporation and Returning to the Founders’ Vision of State Sovereignty

 

Executive Summary

If constitutional originalists such as historian David Barton or jurists in the tradition of Justice Clarence Thomas could propose one constitutional amendment, it would be this:

"To repeal the doctrine of selective incorporation, thereby restoring the Bill of Rights to its original purpose: a restraint solely on the federal government, not the states."

The selective incorporation doctrine—derived from the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause—has enabled federal courts to impose nationalized standards on state governments, in areas ranging from religion and speech to criminal procedure and gun rights. Though seemingly protective of individual liberties, this doctrine has also eroded state sovereignty, upended local moral governance, and consolidated federal judicial supremacy—a direction wholly foreign to the Founders’ original design.

Yes, We Have the Evidence: Obama Officials Accused in Treasonous Coup Against Trump

In a bombshell report, conservative commentator Dr. Steve Turley claims that former President Barack Obama is at the center of a scandal that dwarfs Watergate, potentially marking one of the most significant political controversies in American history.

placeholder
 

According to Turley, newly declassified intelligence documents (released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard) reveal a "treasonous conspiracy" orchestrated at the highest levels of government, implicating Obama himself.

Turley cites a Truth Social post by President Donald Trump, featuring an AI-generated video symbolically depicting Obama’s arrest and imprisonment. While the video is not literal, Turley argues it reflects a growing sentiment that “the walls are closing in” on the former president. He describes the unfolding events as a “national scandal” with a paper trail leading directly to Obama—one that could become what Turley calls the “crown jewel” of Trump’s historic legacy.

AI Generated

 

The Allegations: A Coup in Motion

Turley’s central claim is based on over 100 declassified documents, which he says have been referred to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. According to Turley:

  • Before the 2016 election, every major U.S. intelligence agency (including the FBI, CIA, NSA, and Department of Homeland Security) agreed there was no evidence of Russian collusion with Trump’s campaign.

  • Despite this, Turley alleges that in December 2016, shortly after Trump’s victory, Obama ordered a coordinated effort to fabricate intelligence contradicting those findings.

This alleged effort involved senior officials such as:

  • FBI Director James Comey

  • Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe

  • CIA Director John Brennan

  • Director of National Intelligence James Clapper

  • Secretary of State John Kerry

  • National Security Adviser Susan Rice

According to Turley, this operation was intended to delegitimize Trump’s presidency, amounting to a “systematic creation of false intelligence.” Citing Tulsi Gabbard, Turley calls this a “treasonous” act that undermined the democratic process and triggered a constitutional crisis.

Beyond Partisan Lines: A Threat to Democracy

Turley emphasizes that this is not a partisan issue:

“It’s irrelevant whether you’re Republican or Democrat… What Tulsi is exposing represents a fundamental attack on the democratic process.”

He warns that the alleged actions went far beyond political maneuvering. They represented a direct assault on the legitimacy of a duly elected president and on the will of the American people.

Whistleblowers & the Call for Justice

Turley also claims that whistleblowers from within Obama’s administration are now coming forward, ready to testify. These individuals, he says, are preparing affidavits describing how federal institutions were weaponized against the American people.

Gabbard has emphasized the need for accountability:

  • Prosecutions and indictments are necessary, she argues, to restore trust in democratic institutions.

  • Turley agrees, framing this not as a matter of revenge, but of justice, ensuring that no future administration can misuse intelligence agencies for political ends.

Media Complicity & the Fight for Truth

Turley warns that the legacy media—which he labels as “complicit” in the scandal—may attempt to bury or discredit the story. However, he insists:

“The documents don’t lie.”

He predicts that within months, a major media figure might break ranks and expose the media’s role in covering up the scandal, further amplifying its national impact.

Final Word: A Populist Crossroads

In a broader appeal, Turley urges Americans to stay engaged:

  • He calls on citizens to demand accountability and stand with a populist movement that cuts across traditional political lines.

  • He stresses: “The rule of law must apply equally to everyone.”

As the Justice Department—now led by Pam Bondi, reviews the evidence, Turley promises to continue monitoring developments and keep his audience informed.

Obama's Alleged Treason: Timeline of Declassified Russia Hoax Revelations
Explosive declassified documents, released by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard, have exposed what she describes as a "treasonous conspiracy" by the Obama administration to undermine President Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory.

placeholder
 

Sourced exclusively from the intelligence community (not the Department of Justice (DOJ)) these documents reveal that all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies unanimously concluded there was no Russian interference in the 2016 election. Below is a detailed timeline of events, followed by an analysis under distinct subheadings, shedding light on this alleged conspiracy and its implications.



Timeline of Events
 

Pre-November 2016: Intelligence Community Consensus

  • All 17 U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA, FBI, NSA, and Department of Homeland Security, consistently assessed that Russia lacked the intent and capability to influence the 2016 election through cyberattacks. Internal intelligence community reports documented no evidence of Russian interference in election infrastructure or vote manipulation.
December 8, 2016: Presidential Daily Brief Drafted
  • A Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) was prepared, stating: “Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure.” This document, intended for public release, affirmed the intelligence community’s consensus that Russia did not alter the election outcome.
December 9, 2016: Secret White House Meeting
  • President Obama convened a closed-door meeting in the White House Situation Room with FBI Director James Comey, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Secretary of State John Kerry, and National Security Adviser Susan Rice. Despite the PDB’s findings, the group allegedly decided to suppress this assessment and pursue a contradictory narrative.
Post-December 9, 2016: Fabrication of Intelligence
  • Following the meeting, Obama administration officials reportedly ordered a new intelligence assessment that contradicted prior findings, relying on the discredited Steele dossier, funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Anonymous sources, presumably Obama officials, leaked false claims to The Washington Post and The New York Times, asserting Russian intervention to aid Trump’s victory.
January 6, 2017: Politicized Intelligence Assessment Released
  • DNI James Clapper released an Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) claiming Russia intervened to help Trump win, ignoring earlier dissenting intelligence. This report, allegedly based on the Steele dossier, fueled media narratives and set the stage for the Mueller investigation.
2017–2019: Mueller Investigation and Its Fallout
  • The fabricated assessment underpinned Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Trump-Russia collusion, costing tens of millions of dollars. The 2019 Mueller report found no evidence of Trump campaign collusion but affirmed Russian interference efforts, aligning with the politicized ICA. This led to two impeachments and years of political harassment against Trump.
July 18–19, 2025: Gabbard’s Declassification and DOJ Referral
  • DNI Tulsi Gabbard declassified over 100 pages of documents, including emails, memos, and intelligence assessments from 2016–2017. Labeling the Obama administration’s actions a “treasonous conspiracy,” she turned the documents over to the DOJ for potential criminal prosecution of Obama, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Kerry, Rice, and McCabe.

Intelligence Community’s Unanimous Finding

The core revelation from Gabbard’s declassified documents is the intelligence community’s consensus that Russia did not interfere in the 2016 election. All 17 agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA, DHS, and others) concluded before and after the election that Russia lacked the intent or capability to hack or alter election results. This finding, documented in internal reports and the suppressed December 2016 PDB, directly contradicts the narrative pushed by the Obama administration and amplified by legacy media for years.
 

Strategic Release to Avoid Lawfare Accusations

Gabbard’s decision to release these documents through the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, rather than the DOJ, is a calculated move to sidestep accusations of prosecutorial misconduct or “lawfare.” By making the evidence public and referring it to the DOJ, Gabbard ensures transparency and shifts the responsibility to Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue charges. This approach deflects claims of political retribution, as the allegations originate from intelligence community findings, not a prosecutor’s office.
 

Legal Pathways for Accountability

The documents open several legal avenues for prosecution. Under 18 U.S.C. § 371, conspiracy to defraud the United States allows prosecutors to file charges in any federal district court, bypassing potentially biased Washington, D.C., juries. Additionally, 18 U.S.C. § 3237 permits venue selection in any district touched by the crime, such as New York or Virginia, where less partisan juries may be found. Crucially, there is no statute of limitations for federal treason, meaning figures like Obama, Comey, and Brennan could face charges for their alleged roles. However, military tribunals are not an option, as treason and related crimes are tried in civilian Article III courts, not military commissions, despite some online speculation.
 

Challenges in Securing Convictions

Despite the compelling evidence, convicting high-profile figures like Obama in Washington, D.C., courts is unlikely due to the city’s heavily Democratic jury pool. A 2020 bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report, which affirmed Russian interference but found no vote tampering or Trump campaign collusion, may also complicate public perception. To overcome these challenges, prosecutors could leverage multi-district venue options or focus on conspiracy charges to pursue justice in less partisan jurisdictions. A “nuclear option” of Congress reorganizing the D.C. federal court system, while theoretically possible, is politically unfeasible given the slim Republican majority.
 

Broader Implications and Public Response

These revelations, if substantiated, expose a deliberate attempt by the Obama administration to sabotage Trump’s presidency through fabricated intelligence, constituting what Gabbard calls an “attempted coup.” The documents undermine years of media narratives and political actions, including the Mueller investigation and Trump’s impeachments. Public reaction, as noted on platforms like X, reflects deep skepticism about D.C. courts’ impartiality, with calls for accountability resonating among Trump supporters. The truth, long obscured, now fuels demands for justice and a reckoning for the alleged misuse of intelligence community power.
