Both Bill and Hillary Clinton have refused to honor congressional subpoenas requiring them to testify about Jeffrey Epstein and the federal government’s handling of his crimes.

The former president and secretary of state responded with a sharply worded letter to House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) — also posted publicly on X — dismissing the probe as partisan politics designed to distract from the Trump administration’s failures, including aggressive ICE operations; January 6 pardons; threats to funding and free speech for universities, media companies, and law firms; the dismantling of national security agencies (such as USAID); and the weaponization of the Department of Justice.

“Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences. For us, now is that time,” the letter declares.

“Really? Now? … Now, when you’re asked to testify in front of Congress under subpoena about Epstein? That’s the straw that broke the camel’s back?” Glenn Beck retorts, calling the timing of their sudden “fight” for “principles” suspiciously convenient.

Their letter and refusal aren’t about justice or principle at all — they’re about what the Clintons have always prized most: self-preservation.

In the letter, Washington’s most scandal-ridden, slippery duo wrote, “You accepted the least from those who know the most but demand the most from those who know the least. To say that you can’t complete your work without speaking to us is simply bizarre.”

Glenn finds this statement so absurd, it’s almost funny. “Is there anybody that was closer to Epstein than Bill and Hillary Clinton? I mean, maybe not Hillary, but Bill? I mean, he was there all the time,” he claps back. “In the stairway of the Epstein mansion was that weird-ass picture of Bill Clinton in the dress with his legs draped over wearing heels.”

The letter also addressed the potential for contempt of Congress charges. “We expect you will direct your committee to seek to hold us in contempt,” they wrote, denouncing such an act as a partisan move that will only halt Congress.

In 2022, however, Hillary Clinton publicly supported holding both Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro — former Trump advisers — in contempt of Congress for defying the Jan. 6 subpoenas.

But now that the same fate is staring them in the face, the Clintons are suddenly calling it “injustice.”

“You don’t get to suddenly sound like James Madison after you spent four straight years trying to put Donald Trump in prison by any means necessary,” Glenn says, recalling that “it was Hillary Clinton that started the whole Russiagate thing.”

“[The Clintons] did everything — Russian collusion, manufactured intelligence, leaked FISA warrants, media operation masquerading as journalism, all of that stuff,” he continues. “Now, we know that all of this stuff is based on lies, so when I hear warnings about the Justice Department being used as a cudgel, … when I hear lectures about intimidation and subpoena and punishments of enemies, you know, I don’t dismiss them, but I also don’t forget who the people were that normalized it.”

The truth is, everyone who was tied to Epstein in any way — not excluding President Trump — should be questioned, Glenn says.

“Doesn’t mean they all go to jail. Doesn’t mean they all did something. But you should be questioned — all of them,” he says.

“I don’t want show trials. I don’t want immunity for friends or punishment for enemies. … I want equal justice under the law — you know, the kind written in the Constitution and almost never practiced by anybody in power lately.”

But Glenn knows the odds of real justice ever catching up to the Clintons are slim to none.

“They’re above it all,” he acknowledges.

A wife sleeping next to her husband said she was awakened by a loud noise and heard some liquid dripping before turning on the light and finding out it was blood, according to Pennsylvania police.

Court documents say 42-year-old Douglas Dietz was shot and killed by their adopted son, an 11-year-old boy, over a Nintendo Switch gaming console.

He allegedly described opening the safe, removing the gun, and walking to his father’s side of the bed.

Even more shocking, the incident occurred after the family celebrated the boy’s birthday.

Police said they responded to the home on South Market Street in the borough of Duncannon early on Tuesday morning at about 3:20 a.m. They found Dietz dead from a shot in the head in his bedroom.

Police noted that the parents’ bedroom was connected through a closet to their son’s bedroom.

Dietz’s wife told them she had smelled a strong scent like fireworks when she awoke to discover her husband shot after turning on the lights.

Their son, Clayton Dietz, allegedly entered the room and said, “Daddy’s dead.”

Police also reported that they heard the boy say, “I killed Daddy,” to their mother.

When police questioned him, he said that the family had a good time but that he grew angry at his father when he was told to go to bed.

“He admitted that he had someone in mind whom he was going to shoot, whom he identified as his father,” police wrote in their report.

The boy said that he found the key to their gun safe when he was looking for his Nintendo Switch that had been previously taken away. He allegedly described opening the safe, removing the gun, and walking to his father’s side of the bed.

“He pulled back the hammer and fired the gun at his father,” police said.

The boy faces homicide charges.

A neighbor named Jesse Weldon told WGAL-TV that he was shocked by the incident.

“They’re very kind. I mean, I didn’t talk to them much. They, you know, kept to themselves over there and just seemed pretty nice. I didn’t expect this,” Weldon said.

The boy was booked into the Perry County Prison, where he is being held without bail.

The couple adopted the boy in 2018, when he would have been about 3 years old.

Slate magazine published a hit piece by an anti-Trump propagandist on Tuesday suggesting that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement does such a poor job of screening applicants that “trigger-happy” criminals — or even subversive Antifa apologists — could find themselves with badges.

“A few months ago, ICE hired me,” Laura Jedeed, the self-identified “anti-ICE journalist” behind the piece, noted in a summary of her article on X. “I didn’t sign and submit any paperwork. I’m real outspoken about my opinion of the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable[.] And yet, there it was, in plain English. ‘Welcome to ICE!'”

‘ICE had officially hired me.’

Liberal rags such as the Guardian and Democracy Now! rushed to amplify Jedeed’s tale, along with her suggestion that if she made it through the recruitment process, then pedophiles, rapists, white supremacists, and other unsavory characters might similarly be securing ICE jobs.

The Department of Homeland Security stated, however, that the Slate article’s core claim was “a lazy lie.”

This response was met in turn with a community note on X casting doubt on the agency’s denial.

After corresponding with both parties, Blaze News learned that contrary to the 38-year-old leftist’s suggestion, ICE neither hired Jedeed nor sent her a final offer.

In her article, Jedeed claimed she spoke to a recruiter and submitted her resume at an ICE career expo in Texas last August, working under the presumption that her time serving in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, her repeat deployments to Afghanistan, and her civilian analyst work might “tantalize a recruiter for America’s Gestapo-in-waiting.”

Jedeed indicated that on Sept. 3, she received a tentative offer instructing her to log on to USAJobs, fill out a declaration for federal employment, and submit several documents, including driver’s license information, an affidavit that she never received a domestic violence conviction, and a form consenting to a background check.

‘I never received an emailed final offer.’

Despite supposedly doing “exactly none of these things,” she allegedly received an email three weeks later indicating that she had confirmed her intention to continue with the hiring process and asking her to complete a pre-employment drug test.

The leftist suggested that she subsequently traveled to her local LabCorp, underwent a drug test with THC potentially coursing through her system, and then — nine days later — discovered that “ICE had apparently offered me a job.”

“According to the application portal, my pre-employment activities remained pending. And yet, it also showed that I had accepted a final job offer and that my onboarding status was ‘EOD’ — Entered On Duty, the start of an enlistment period,” she wrote. “I moused over the exclamation mark next to ‘Onboarding’ and a helpful pop-up appeared. ‘Your EOD has occurred. Welcome to ICE!'”

In a video Jedeed shared online, the ICE recruitment portal appears to indicate that she was in the fifth and final stage of onboarding for the role of deportation officer, despite indications that she not yet completed the drug or physical fitness tests. The video also appears to show the ICE portal state welcome Jedeed to ICE and specify that her EOD was on Sept. 30.

“By all appearances, I was a deportation officer. Without a single signature on agency paperwork, ICE had officially hired me,” Jedeed wrote. “Perhaps, if I’d accepted, they would have demanded my pre-employment paperwork, done a basic screening, realized their mistake, and fired me immediately.”

While the DHS did not comment on the authenticity of Jedeed’s video, a spokesperson told Blaze News, “This individual was NEVER offered a job at ICE. Applicants may receive a Tentative Selection Letter following their initial application and interview that is not a job offer.”

The agency’s careers page states that “following receipt of a tentative selection letter, you must complete per-employment requirements. These requirements vary by position. All positions require security vetting and drug test. You may also be required to pass a medical exam, fitness exam and oral board interview.”

The page notes further that “a tentative selection letter remains tentative until all pre-employment requirements are met for the position.”

When asked about the DHS statement to Blaze News, Jedeed said, “I did not receive a final offer, nor did I accept one.”

Jedeed noted in a follow-up email, “To clarify: I did not receive a final offer in the mail.”

“I never received an emailed final offer — the portal indicated that I had already accepted that offer, as you can see from the screen capture posted on X,” she wrote.

When asked whether she suspected or had any reason to believe that the system would have barred her from proceeding upon hitting the accept button, Jedeed told Blaze News:

I do not know what would have happened had I hit that accept button on the ICE portal. It’s possible they would have asked for the paperwork — I certainly hope so. But the fact I already had an EOD date before filling out paperwork which the tentative job offer described as mandatory for proceeding to the next phase of the hiring process (final offer, onboarding), and the fact that my background check showed up as completed, are reasons for concern.

While she was not hired, did not receive a final offer, and has conceded that perhaps what she experienced on the ICE recruitment portal was “some kind of computer glitch,” Jedeed nevertheless suggested in her Slate piece that her recruitment experience is indicative of a broader problem at the agency — a problem that set the stage for Renee Nicole Good’s death.

“How are we to trust ICE’s allegedly thorough investigations of the people they detain and deport when they can’t even keep their HR paperwork straight?” Jedeed wrote. “And if they’re not going to screen me out, what hope is there of figuring out which recruit might one day turn into a trigger-happy agent who would forget that law enforcement officers are trained not to stand in front of vehicles, get jumpy, and shoot a 37-year-old woman to death on the streets of Minneapolis?”

Jedeed, like her fellow travelers in the media, neglected to mention that Good — whom Jedeed claimed was murdered — was shot while driving her SUV into an ICE agent after ignoring multiple lawful orders and interrupting a federal law enforcement operation.

Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa said in a social media post that she stopped Democrats from sending $1 million to an addiction center with ties to ISIS, and has called for a fraud investigation.

She went on to say that Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah helped her stop the funds, but called on the Department of Justice to investigate the alleged fraud scheme.

‘It is undeniable that expressing admiration for someone who sought to commit atrocities against the United States raises most serious concerns.’

The center was located above a Somali restaurant that was run by three people who live in the same house, and they have a relative who tried to join ISIS, according to Ernst.

She posted a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi demanding an investigation into Generation Hope MN that is based in Minneapolis. The organization was established in 2019 and is described as a Somali-led addiction recovery and substance use disorder center.

Ernst said the group lists on their 501(c)(3) non-profit application three people as directors who live at the same address. She documented the organization’s spending profile and said it suggests “minimal direct services, opaque financial reporting, and heavy reliance on contractor payments,” which she said “should trigger immediate scrutiny, not federal taxpayer dollars.”

In addition, Abdirizak Mohamed Warsame was arrested in 2015 along with nine others for preparing to travel to Syria in order to join the ISIS terrorist group. He is the older brother of Generation Hope MN founder Abdirahman Warsame.

The older Warsame agreed to a plea deal that included a 30-month sentence.

“Should someone with such associations be considered worthy of taxpayer funding?” she wrote. “We do not know Abdirizak Warsame’s current views on ISIS or its goals, nor how his influence may shape his brother’s actions and aspirations, but it is undeniable that expressing admiration for someone who sought to commit atrocities against the United States raises most serious concerns.”

Abdirahman Warsame responded to the accusations in a post on the Facebook page for the organization and denied many of the claims.

“To be clear, Generation Hope has never committed fraud, or submitted falsified paperwork. In addition, we have not received any federal funding related to this proposed request,” the statement reads.

“Generation Hope is a grassroots organization rooted in the community at large, created from a place of pain and hope for the future,” he added. “We have served the recovery community for nearly seven years, and we plan to continue to do so.”

The Los Angeles Police Department has angered officials of the Latino Equality Alliance after saying that a man flinging bags of poop at their center is not criminally prosecutable.

Members of the Mi Centro LGBTQ Community Center in Boyle Heights have been cleaning up small bags of dog poop being deposited at the center for months. They say it’s an expression of hate-filled fecal vandalism against the LGBTQ community.

‘This “legal loophole” has left the center and its youth vulnerable to continued harassment without consequence.’

In August, the center posted an image of the dog poop in a post on Facebook that called the acts “abhorrent” as well as “unacceptable.” Some of the poop was tossed onto the awning in front of the center.

Months later, a suspect was identified with the aid of surveillance video, but police reportedly told the center that the dog poop deposits “do not meet the threshold for criminal prosecution.” Because the man has left poop inside of bags, it only meets the far lower standard of a littering infraction.

“This ‘legal loophole’ has left the center and its youth vulnerable to continued harassment without consequence,” reads a statement from the center.

LEA Executive Director Eddie Martinez told the media that police needed “substantial evidence” to prove the acts constituted a hate crime.

“They said a bag of poop is not enough to be arrested,” Martinez lamented.

Bell Police Department Chief Damian Velasco said at the same press conference that officers had contacted the suspect and were waiting to hear from him to determine “what the mindset is and what exactly is going on.”

The center describes itself as serving LGBTQ+ persons of “Latinx” and “Latine” descent.

A Las Vegas special education aide is accused of dragging an autistic elementary school student by the arm 30 feet down a hallway.

Clark County School District Police on Friday arrested 21-year-old Zachary May at J.E. Manch Elementary School, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

The arrest report said the student stood up after being dragged and attempted to kick May in the shin, the paper added.

May faces one felony count of battery on a vulnerable person and one felony count of child abuse or neglect, the Review-Journal noted, citing North Las Vegas Justice Court records.

Police said school surveillance video showed May dragging the student from a classroom doorway into a hallway shortly after 11 a.m. Thursday, the paper said.

The student has limited verbal communication abilities and had entered an open classroom and greeted students before May arrived and attempted to get the student to leave, the paper said, citing the arrest report.

Police said a person who witnessed the incident indicated that the student fell to their knees before May “aggressively grabbed (them) by the arm and dragged (them) out of the classroom while (the student) was still on the floor,” the Review-Journal reported.

The witness didn’t hear May say anything to the student, but he showed frustration on his face, the paper reported, citing police.

About five minutes later, video showed the student running away from May and turning a corner in the school’s hallway, the Review-Journal said, citing the arrest report. May turned the corner, grabbed the student, and again dragged the student down the hallway — this time for about 4 feet, the paper said, citing the arrest report.

The teacher’s assistant also was seen hovering over the student at one point, KVVU-TV reported.

Two of the elementary school’s assistant principals told police they reviewed the school’s surveillance video and saw May grab the student by the arm and drag the student for about 30 feet, the Review-Journal reported.

The arrest report said the student stood up after being dragged and attempted to kick May in the shin, the paper added.

More from the Review-Journal:

Police said they visited the student’s house for a wellness check following the incident and took photos of the student’s arms. The arms did not show any fresh injuries, bruising or marks, the arrest report said.

Police placed May into handcuffs on Friday morning and briefly spoke to him inside a conference room at Manch Elementary, according to the arrest report. When asked about Thursday’s incident, May told police that he placed a minor restraint on the student after they escaped him.

May’s felony arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 9, the paper said, citing court records.

A separate KVVU report said May has been employed with the district since January 2025 and was last assigned to Manch Elementary School as a specialized programs teacher assistant.

Police told the station he will be placed on unpaid leave after negotiation.

On Monday at their end-of-season media conference, Baltimore Ravens’ owner Steve Bisciotti made statements about the team’s quarterback Lamar Jackson that deeply upset fans and NFL commentators.

When asked whether Lamar Jackson was consulted before head coach John Harbaugh was fired, Bisciotti said that while he had spoken with Lamar, whom he described as “nonconfrontational,” he didn’t play an “outsized part” in the decision.

He also said that when it comes to hiring a new head coach, Jackson has “a lot of say, but he has no power.”

“Let me translate that for you,” says BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock. “What he’s saying is: Lamar Jackson is not a leader.”

“It’s not that leaders look for confrontation, but they’re not afraid of confrontation. They don’t avoid confrontation. They don’t avoid conflict. They settle conflict. … That’s not Lamar Jackson,” he says.

“[Jackson] knows what he can actually do, and that’s play quarterback, make enough plays with his arms and feet to be an exceptional quarterback, but that’s it. He’s not a leader. They don’t have the traditional quarterback leadership with Lamar Jackson.”

The fans and critics who have complained about Jackson’s lack of power when it comes to team decisions clearly don’t understand this about him, says Jason. But Bisciotti “[knows] exactly who Lamar Jackson is” — not a “business mogul who we need to be conferring with before making business decisions” but an “overgrown [child].”

Part of Jackson’s growing up journey needs to involve “[keeping] his mama out of his business,” says Jason. Jackson’s mother, Felicia, has operated as his manager since his NFL debut and to this day plays a central role in his contract negotiations.

Jason warns that if she gets “gassed up by the idiots on ESPN and other places that talk about ‘player empowerment’ and ‘Lamar must have influence,”’ she’s going to create major problems between her son and Steve Bisciotti.

If Jackson were anything like former Ravens’ heart-and-soul leaders Ed Reed and Ray Lewis, it’d be a different story.

“Steve Bisciotti makes it crystal clear we don’t have a Ray Lewis situation here with Lamar Jackson. We have a great quarterback who likes to play video games, who can’t stay healthy for 17 games, particularly now as he ages and takes more hits. We want to keep this quarterback, but we’re not going to treat him like he’s Ray Lewis or Ed Reed,” says Jason.

To hear more of his commentary, watch the video above.
