SCOOP: The FBI informant convicted of lying to the Bureau about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Donald Trump any moment.
Alexander Smirnov, who has multiple business ties to Trumpworld, was sentenced days before Trump became president. He had pleaded guilty to fabricating a story that former President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, had received millions in bribes from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, as well as to a $2 million-plus tax evasion offense.
Yet despite Smirnov being judged a flight risk, with ties to Russian intelligence and foreign assets, the U.S.-Israeli citizen has been mysteriously missing from prison for at least the past four months.
I'm enjoying the inclusion of two Russian fighters managed by Ali Abdelaziz as potential White House staffers
Trump says he’s offered Dana White the job of White House press secretary. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT…
Looks like Elon Musk gave Valadao a very last minute personal donation —on October 30! Musk previously gave Valadao almost a million via America PAC but this one was a rare (maybe even only) personal Elon donation in 2026
The CBS SVP of communications seems to suggest that this a sufficient explanation. But there is no such thing as AI sharpening an image that isn’t AI guessing and making up a new image.
You can’t use ChatGPT to sharpen blurry images for news usage! It makes up details. People sometimes try to do that with a blurry face shot and AI makes up a face. But reporters should know better.
This reminds me that no one ever asked Ackman (Vivek donor) how he felt about the Amy Acton childhood abuse ad
I am going to make a bold and early call. @VivekGRamaswamy will run for POTUS and win. I think the country is ready for his message. He is young, smart, talented and will attract the center to the right to win. He speaks hard truths which many believe but fear to say.
All these people making TikTok videos of the “hot new elected Dem men” insist on including Jack Smith in them lol

Long Island’s NY-02 came a lot closer to flipping blue than it has in a long time. Seat was last held by a Dem in 2010 and this district went for Trump for 13 points in 2024.
In NY-01 Chris Gallant did really well against incumbent Nick LaLota in a Trump + 10 2024 district.
I found some early background on the man charged with the fake DSA powder letters--he posts a lot about religion, references trials and tribulations in his personal life like a workman's comp injury, and he seems to believe the USPS is interfering in elections. Looks like he is a registered nurse at the VA hospital in OKC. He recently replied to the CIA on LinkedIn asking if they needed any nurses.
He even made a Facebook account for his fake persona "George Livingston" that he contacted the DSA with. He's also into AI Facebook slop. He seems to have had a normal family life until recently.
If you're not watching former DOJ official Ed Martin's new show on Real America's Voice, you're missing out. So far he's cut himself making sandwiches on Halloween and got trapped in an elevator.
I GOT LOCKED UP FOR 20 MINUTES... AND STARTED THINKING ABOUT O.J. SIMPSON AND SOLZHENITSYN?! 😂🚨
Folks, being a TV host is DANGEROUS WORK!
After yesterday's show, I took a wrong turn on my way to the parking garage, hopped into an elevator, and promptly got STUCK!
For 20 LONG MINUTES!
Luckily, I'm a prepared man. I've got water, food, and enough emergency supplies to survive just about anything! 😂
But I did have some time to contemplate life behind bars!
All kidding aside, HUGE thanks to the guys who rescued me and the incredible @RealAmVoice crew who work their tails off making 'Early Bird With Ed Martin' happen every day!
And one little favor: Help us spread the word about the show! We're growing FAST!

What did Brooklyn do
Trump's Justice Department announced it is sending about 1,000 "election monitors" to polling places in all 50 states

NEW: This was the most expensive, and least financially transparent election ever. But a new analysis shows other alarming trends, like a rapid rise in how much industries like AI and crypto which seek govt deregulation are giving to both parties--almost matching what Democrat-only donors gave among the top donors this cycle. Entire industries like labor can no longer compete with the cost of entry into the highest echelon of megadonors.

Mike Rogers attacked Slotkin for having taken campaign contributions from two registered foreign agents. As we reported yesterday two of his campaign staffers are registered foreign agents.
Trump is now “helping”
BREAKING: President Trump praises Haley Stevens for endorsing Mike Rogers over Abdul El-Sayed.
"Haley said what few people are willing to say. She showed great and almost unprecedented loyalty to the Great People of Michigan with what she did."
"It’s a thing called bravery, and few people have it like just displayed by Congresswoman Haley Stevens!"
