Bondi exposes ‘UNPRECEDENTED’ Arctic Frost action against Trump by Biden admin
Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed on Tuesday further disturbing details about the Biden administration’s Operation Arctic Frost, which targeted at least nine Republican lawmakers.
‘It was a clear effort by the Biden White House and the Biden DOJ to go after the president.’
Documents previously published by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) exposed that the operation sought the private cellphone records of Republican politicians.
The investigation into Arctic Frost unveiled that the Biden administration provided Trump’s phone to special counsel Jack Smith, Bondi announced on Tuesday.
“During the Arctic Frost Investigation, we found that Special Counsel seized President Trump’s government-issued phone,” Bondi wrote in a post on X.
Bondi called the action by the Biden administration “UNPRECEDENTED.”
“In addition, Special Counsel subpoenaed all of President Trump’s PERSONAL phone records,” she continued. “We can never again allow this kind of government weaponization in America.”

Bondi stated that the latest findings were provided to Congress.
Conservatives flooded Bondi’s post with comments asking if any arrests would follow these new revelations, expressing that many are tired of the political theater and want to see justice served.
“Why not move forward with charges?” one X user asked. “Why hand it to Congress … so it can die in committee and resurface as campaign soundbites? We’re tired of the theater. We want accountability.”
“America is sick and tired of talk,” another user wrote. “We want major arrests and long prison terms. I really do not know how else to make this more clear. Our guy has a MUG SHOT, his personal home was raided by armed law enforcement with shoot to kill orders. He has had multiple attempts on his life.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted to Bondi’s announcement during Tuesday’s press briefing.
“I think this is just further evidence of the egregious overreach and weaponization of government that took place under the previous White House against then-former president and now-President Donald J. Trump,” Leavitt said. “It was a clear effort by the Biden White House and the Biden DOJ to go after the president.”
The Department of Justice declined to comment beyond the AG’s statement.

Texas DMV has allegedly been registering vehicles to illegal aliens
Amid road dangers such as non-English-speaking foreigners behind the wheels of 18-wheelers across America, one Texas state representative claims to have discovered another abuse of the system, this time at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
On Monday, Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison (R) wrote a letter to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles demanding an investigation after his office received reports that illegal aliens were able to register vehicles despite their status.
‘It is past time the Texas government starts acting like we are in a battle for the future of western civilization, because we are.’
“My office recently received alarming reports of illegal immigrants being able to register their vehicles in the State of Texas. To my shock, upon investigation, my office has verified that these reports are in fact real,” Harrison said in the letter.

The letter cites Texas Transportation Code section 502.040(b), which reads, “The application must be accompanied by personal identification as determined by department rule.”
The letter alleges that the “broad authority” given to the department may have been misused.
“I am writing today to inquire what steps, if any, the DMV has taken and is implementing to determine whether the owner of the vehicle is a citizen or lawfully in the country before issuing vehicle registrations,” the letter continues.
On the condition that the DMV doesn’t take “prompt and efficacious action,” Harrison threatened to introduce legislation requiring the DMV to verify legal status before issuing registrations.
Texas phased out temporary, paper license plates on July 1 of this year, perhaps as a measure against fraud related to the problem Harrison identified and complained about this week.
In his post, Harrison also emphasized the important role Texas politicians need to play in aiding the Trump administration: “It is past time the Texas government starts acting like we are in a battle for the future of western civilization, because we are.”
Barring a special legislative session, which Harrison has called for, the Texas state House is not set to convene again until the spring of 2027.
Harrison, who has a track record of raising awareness and effecting change outside of the legislative process, told Blaze News that the DMV already has the authority to “do the right thing” when it comes to verifying legal status prior to registering vehicles in Texas, despite the “broad authority” granted to the department.
Blaze News reached out to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles but did not immediately receive a response.

‘HORRIFIC’: Jamaica UNRECOGNIZABLE a week after Hurricane Melissa
On October 28, Hurricane Melissa, the strongest storm ever to strike Jamaica as a Category 5, made landfall near Montego Bay, unleashing catastrophic damage across the island as winds peaked at 185 mph. The storm demolished thousands of homes, left entire communities without power or running water, and triggered widespread flooding. Drone footage reveals apocalyptic scenes of uprooted trees and flattened neighborhoods. The death toll sits at 28 currently but is expected to rise as rescue missions progress.
Glenn Beck’s nonprofit, Mercury One, is actively on the ground providing relief in several communities across the island.
On a recent episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn spoke with Jack Brewer, founder and chairman of the Jack Brewer Foundation and a Mercury One partner, about the devastation he witnessed in Jamaica.
As the founder of his own disaster relief foundation, Jack has seen his fair share of devastations caused by natural disasters in the 20 years the Jack Brewer Foundation has been operating.
But Hurricane Melissa is the “one of the worst ones” he’s ever witnessed.
“Homes completely leveled — I mean, down to the foundation. And, you know, the entire west side of Jamaica is without water, without electricity. … The infrastructure electricity-wise is pretty old, and so the electric wires are just twisted all in the trees,” he says.
Because Jamaica is “tough terrain,” as much of the country is mountainous, it’s taking relief organizations longer than usual to reach people in need, Jack explains.
The scarcity has caused a lot of chaos. “You see just piles and piles of humans sitting next to each other trying to get water. They’re washing their clothes with the salt water and … there’s fights at the gas pump because people are trying to desperately get enough fuel,” he tells Glenn.
“The most heartbreaking thing,” however, is that downed poles, flooded substations, and uprooted trees blocking repairs mean that “folks haven’t found their family members,” Jack says.
“When I was there, they had just found six more bodies in the area, and they were asking us for cadaver dogs and asking us if we could assist with them.”
And the worst part is: “No one has come.”
“I went to village after village, town after town. No aid organization had come,” Jack says, noting that it hasn’t stopped raining in Jamaica, making travel even more difficult.
With homes and shelters decimated and waters continuing to rise, Jack says the Jamaican people, many of whom are sleeping outside, are now facing “waterborne diseases and mosquitos.”
Right now, the best relief organizations can do is help with temporary solutions, like delivering tents and insect repellent.
“Can you compare this to what we saw in North Carolina?” Glenn asks, referencing Hurricane Helene, which ravaged parts of North Carolina in September 2024 and caused billions of dollars in damage.
“No question,” says Jack. “The difference is, in North Carolina, we have something called insurance, and we have helicopters, and our fellow Americans can get there. … In Jamaica, they don’t have that option. … The people were already living in poverty.”
But praise God, there is joy that transcends all circumstances. “The love of God and the thankfulness and the smiling and the worshipping that was happening in these towns I was in … it lifted me up,” Jack says. “It humbled me to see people that had literally lost it all, but they were so thankful, and they said, ‘You know what? We’re living to see another day. God has given us a chance to recover. We have our life; we have our children.’”
Glenn encourages his audience to donate whatever they can to Mercury One and notes that 100% of donations go to relief initiatives.
“Go to mercuryone.org, and help us help people,” Glenn says.

Woman goes viral after admitting to being on SNAP benefits for 3 decades
A video showing a woman complaining about her lack of food aid benefits is going viral because she admitted that she’s been on the dole for 30 years.
Maggie Aragon of New Mexico was interviewed on a KOAT-TV news story intending to drum up sympathy for the tens of millions of Americans who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. The program was facing suspension over the ongoing government shutdown.
‘Welfare was meant to lift people up, not trap them forever. When do we start rewarding work again?’
“The first thing I did was grab my phone and call, and when I heard ‘zero dollars,’ my chest went into my throat!” Aragon said to KOAT. “I have depended on those benefits since the 1990s, and it’s detrimental to my life if I don’t get them.”
She told the outlet that she often had to rely on food banks in addition to SNAP in order to survive.
Video of Aragon’s comments went viral on social media, where it garnered millions of views.
Many pounced on the admission to criticize the program.
“I can barely afford my own bills and this useless eater has been on food stamps for 30 f**king years. She’s been living off MY taxes for 30 f**king years. Cut it off. Let them suffer,” author Matt Forney replied.
“Millions of people live entirely as wards of the state, completely disconnected from the world of work and self-sufficiency. How can this be sustainable?” writer Brian Almon responded.
“Look, I feel sympathy for people like this on a human level. But she hasn’t been able to get a job in three decades? This smells of manufactured dependency, not unavoidable hardship,” one user responded.
“Let’s say this woman is 65, which maybe she is … she has good skin, so possibly younger … that means she’s been on food stamps since she was in her early 30s or maybe younger. That is literally insane,” commentator Ryan Girdusky said.
“Thirty years on food stamps says everything about the system, not the person. Welfare was meant to lift people up, not trap them forever. When do we start rewarding work again?” another user said.
Others defended Aragon on the possibility that she was suffering from a disability and was unable to work.

At least one police department said it had increased patrols around grocery stores and food banks to avoid robbery and unrest.
“These increased patrols are not in response to any specific incident, but are a preventive measure to maintain public safety, deter theft, and reassure the community that law enforcement is present and ready to help,” reads a statement from the Barstow Police Department.
