Cea Weaver, Zohran Mamdani’s new ‘Tenant Advocate’ – Screencap of Twitter/X video.
In a newly resurfaced video from 2018, Zohran Mamdani’s new ‘Tenant Advocate’ appointee in New York City, advocated for seizing private property and implied that home ownership is white supremacy.
She talks about how property is going to be collectivized and says it will mostly affect white people.
Do the people of New York City even realize what a completely insane band of radicals they have just put in power?
The New York Post reports:
Zohran Mamdani’s new NYC tenant advocate called to ‘seize private property,’ blasted homeownership as ‘white supremacy’
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly appointed tenant advocate called to “seize private property” and blasted homeownership as a “weapon of white supremacy” in a series of pro-Communist social media posts.
Cea Weaver, Mamdani’s new director of the city Office to Protect Tenants, made the statements and urged her followers to elect more Communists in several lecturing posts on her now-deleted X account that were unearthed by internet sleuths.
“Seize private property!” she said on June 13, 2018.
“Private property including any kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy,” she said then.
Weaver also pushed to “Elect more communists” in December 2017 — when a Harlem street corner was being renamed in honor of former Manhattan Rep. Vito Marcantonio, who was a Communist.

Her now deleted Twitter/X account was full of garbage like this. Take a look:

A few months ago, I dug into Cea Weaver’s Twitter history because she was Mamdani’s housing advisor.
I had a hunch she might get a position on his team.
Well, she did, and she deleted her X account, accordingly.
However, I took some screenshots. Let’s dig in. pic.twitter.com/sYMz3wF97w

Okay – so what are her beliefs?
1. “Public housing for everyone.”
2. “Rent control and public housing for everyone”
3. “Massive government interventions to solve gentrification” pic.twitter.com/oWDhihIieA

What else?
She believes:
“rent control is a perfect solution to everything”
and
rent control is “a more effective way to shrink the value of real estate than reducing rezoning applications” pic.twitter.com/ZNyCFWUXsd

FBI Director Kash Patel and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi released a joint statement laying out the extraordinary, months-long Trump-era law-enforcement and military operation that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan narco-tyrant Nicolás Maduro and his transfer into United States custody.
The statement, posted publicly on X, confirmed that the mission was conducted through close coordination between the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Department of Justice, the Department of War, the Department of State, and the U.S. Intelligence Community, alongside international partners.
Nicolás Maduro was captured on January 3, 2026, during a large-scale U.S. military mission codenamed Operation Absolute Resolve.
The ground raid was executed by the U.S. Army’s Delta Force alongside FBI agents.
Over 150 aircraft from the U.S. Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps provided cover, disabling Venezuelan air defenses and jamming the electrical grid to “turn off the lights” in Caracas.
The operation was directed by President Donald Trump and coordinated by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine.
Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured at their residence inside the Fort Tiuna military complex in Caracas. Trump described the location as a “heavily fortified military fortress.”
According to reports, Maduro attempted to reach a solid steel safe room (or “safety space”) but was “bum-rushed” by Delta Force operators before he could close the door.
According to the joint statement, the operation was “a complex law-enforcement mission” requiring “months of coordination, detailed planning, and seamless execution across multiple components of the federal government.”
The Department of War led the effort, with specialized FBI and DEA tactical, aviation, and transport units ensuring the secure capture and transfer of two high-risk defendants.
Read the statement below:
“The Department of Justice, working in close coordination with the Department of War, the Department of State, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Intelligence Community, and our interagency and international partners, successfully executed a complex law-enforcement mission to bring Nicolás Maduro into U.S. custody to face justice.
This operation required months of coordination, detailed planning, and seamless execution across multiple components of the federal government. The Department of War led this remarkable effort. We cannot thank our brave military heroes enough.
Specialized FBI and DEA personnel, including tactical and transport teams, worked alongside DOW and our DOJ attorneys and other DOJ components to ensure the secure movement, control, and transfer of 2 high-risk defendants. All personnel involved acted professionally, decisively, and in strict accordance with U.S. law and established protocols. This was a perfectly executed operation with intensive cooperation and trust among President Trump’s team.
The mission was conducted to support an ongoing criminal prosecution tied to large-scale narcotics trafficking and related offenses that have fueled violence, destabilized the region, and contributed directly to the drug crisis claiming American lives.
The United States pursued every lawful option to resolve this matter peacefully. Those opportunities were repeatedly rejected. The responsibility for this outcome rests solely with those who chose to continue criminal conduct rather than disengage.
This operation reflects the Department of Justice’s unwavering commitment to accountability, the rule of law, and the protection of U.S. national security. We are proud of the federal law-enforcement professionals who carried out this mission and of the partnerships that made it possible. God Bless America and God Bless President Trump.”

In a subsequent interview on Fox News, Kash Patel provided rare operational detail, highlighting the role of the FBI’s Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG), including its elite Hostage Rescue Team and specialized aviation units.
Patel explained that the mission, succeeded because “every component of this operation, every link in this chain, was flawlessly executed by the experts in the intelligence community and law enforcement and military sectors.”
He described how FBI Hostage Rescue Team operators embedded with both the insertion force and maritime elements to execute what he repeatedly emphasized was a law-enforcement operation, not a war.
Following the ground seizure, Patel said the FBI assumed responsibility for what is known as a Foreign Transfer of Custody (FTOC), maintaining continuous U.S. law-enforcement control as Maduro was transported via maritime and aviation assets with FBI medics, aviation units, and intelligence partners involved at every stage.

Ohio dentist Dr. Tepe and wife killed
Columbus, Ohio, police released new video of a ‘person of interest’ in the mysterious killing of a dentist and his wife.
As previously reported, a dentist and his wife were gunned down in their Columbus, Ohio, home last week, and police still have not identified a suspect.
Dr. Spencer Tepe, 37, and his wife Monique Tepe, 39, were found shot to death in their home last Tuesday morning after police conducted a welfare check.
Their two children were found in the home crying, but were not physically harmed.
Police were called to conduct a welfare check after Dr. Tepe, who was known for being punctual, failed to show up to work at Athens Dental Depot.
Athens Dental Depot owner, Dr. Mark Valrose, told 911 dispatchers that Dr. Tepe always shows up to work on time.
“He is always on time and he would contact us if there was any issues,” Dr. Valrose told dispatchers, according to WSYX. “I don’t know how else to say this but we are very very concerned. This is very out of character for him. We can’t get in touch with his wife, which is probably the more concerning thing.”
Police said there was no sign of forced entry, and no weapon was found at the scene of the crime, so they don’t believe it was a murder-suicide.
Dr. Tepe was shot multiple times, and his wife suffered one gunshot wound to the chest.
New footage released by Ohio police shows what appears to be a male wearing a dark colored hoodie and jeans walking down an alley near the Tepe’s home during the time of the double homicide.
“Detectives believe the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Tepe occurred sometime between 2:00 and 5:00 a.m. on the morning of December 30th in the upstairs of their residence. Recovered video footage shows a person of interest walking in the alley near the Tepe’s residence during that timeframe,” Columbus, Ohio, police said on Facebook.
“We have received and are continuing to receive numerous tips from the community, which our detectives are following up on. If you have information that could lead to the identity of the person in this video, please call 614-645-2228 or use the QR code provided. Anonymous tips may also be made to Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-8477,” the police said.
“We want to thank the community for the tips we have received. We know there are questions and concerns surrounding this tragic incident. Detectives are working diligently to solve this case. We will continue to update you as the investigation progresses,” the police added.

Somalia’s UN Ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman presides over an emergency United Nations Security Council meeting regarding Maduro’s capture.
The Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is signaling that major revelations are imminent involving Somalia’s sitting ambassador to the United Nations, a man who now presides over the UN Security Council while allegedly tied to an Ohio healthcare company convicted of Medicaid fraud.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on troubling new evidence showing that Abukar Dahir Osman, Somalia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, once worked deep inside Ohio’s Medicaid bureaucracy and later ran — or was formally associated with — an Ohio home healthcare company now appearing on a federal fraud exclusion list.
Osman, often referred to by the nickname “Baale,” has served as Somalia’s UN ambassador since 2017. As of this month, he holds one of the most powerful rotating posts in global diplomacy: President of the UN Security Council.
In that role, Osman:

Oversees Security Council meetings
Sets the Council’s agenda
Manages resolutions and presidential statements
Speaks for the A3+ bloc (African nations plus Caribbean representation) on major global conflicts, including Afghanistan and Yemen

But long before wielding global authority in New York, Osman built his career inside Ohio’s taxpayer-funded welfare and Medicaid system.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported:
Osman relocated to the United States in the late 1980s and built his career in Ohio’s taxpayer-funded social services apparatus.
From 1999 to 2012, he worked at the Franklin County Department of Job and Family Services, serving as:

Case Manager
Social Program Specialist

Osman was also a supervisor for the Medicaid office in Franklin County, Ohio, from 2007 to 2012.
Mr. Osman also founded Beacon Educational Services, according to his profile on the UN.  He served as a consultant for the organization from 2007 to 2010.
The most alarming revelation involves Progressive Health Care Services Inc., an Ohio-based home healthcare company linked to Osman.
According to reporting cited by PJ Media and Prime Business Africa:

Osman served as Managing Director of Progressive Health Care Services from 2014 to 2019

He was also listed as a statutory agent in 2018, after becoming Somalia’s UN ambassador in 2017 — raising serious conflict-of-interest concerns

Abukar Osman’s LinkedIn account
Upon reviewing Progressive Health Care Services’ National Provider Identifier (NPI) public profile, Abukar Osman was listed as the President and CEO.
Screenshot
Even more troubling:
Based on research conducted by The Gateway Pundit and reports from social media, Progressive Health Care Services Inc. appears on the November 2025 Updated List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE) maintained by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG).
The listing falls under Exclusion Code 1128(a)(1).
11-2025 Updated LEIE Database
Exclusion Code 1128(a)(1) refers to a mandatory exclusion from participation in all Federal health care programs (like Medicare and Medicaid) for individuals or entities convicted of a criminal offense related to fraud, theft, or financial misconduct in connection with providing or billing for health care items or services.
This means they can’t receive federal healthcare payments, and it’s a serious sanction imposed by the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG). 
What is even more shocking is that another healthcare company operates in the same suite (2852 BOUDINOT AVE, STE 202) under a different name, Evergreen Home Care, according to LibsofTiktok.

Omg wait till you hear this
Somalia’s Ambassador to the UN Abukar Dahir Osman was a healthcare administrator in Ohio. There is another healthcare company in the SAME SUITE as his with a different name, and multiple others at the same address, all with Somali names
Of course… pic.twitter.com/sHv1aX1e5J

Now, the Trump administration is confirming the connection — and warning the public that this story is far from over.
Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill wrote on X:

“I can confirm public speculation that Ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman, Permanent Representative of Somalia to the UN and President of the Security Council, is in fact associated with Progressive Health Care Services, a home health agency in Cincinnati. HHS has previously taken action against Progressive in response to a conviction for Medicaid fraud. More to come.”

This bombshell lands as the UN Security Council, under Osman’s presidency, convened an emergency meeting following the dramatic weekend capture of Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro by U.S. special forces.
The meeting was formally requested by Colombia, a non-permanent Council member for the 2026–2027 term, and aggressively backed by Russia and China, both of which rushed to defend Maduro and condemn the United States for allegedly violating “international law” and “state sovereignty.”
Now, the man presiding over that meeting — lecturing the world on law, order, and sovereignty — is himself under scrutiny for ties to a Medicaid-fraud–convicted healthcare operation in Ohio.

Federal agents are descending on Tim Walz’s state of Minnesota.
The Trump administration is deploying hundreds Department of Homeland Security personnel as part of an expanded immigration and fraud crackdown in Minneapolis..
Officials told CBS News the operation could ultimately involve close to 2,000 agents and officers drawn from Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division and Homeland Security Investigations, the agency responsible for probing transnational crime and large-scale fraud.
The initiative is expected to run for roughly 30 days and marks the first major urban focus of the administration’s widened immigration enforcement strategy this year.
HSI agents assigned to the surge are anticipated to examine suspected fraud cases, building on inspections conducted last month at dozens of sites across the Minneapolis area.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commander Gregory Bovino, who previously oversaw controversial immigration operations in Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, and New Orleans, is expected to arrive in Minnesota to help coordinate enforcement efforts.

Here we go

The deployment, which began Sunday, represents one of the largest concentrations of DHS resources in a single American city in recent years.
According to officials, the surge includes several hundred HSI agents, hundreds of ICE deportation officers, specialized tactical units known as Special Response Teams, and an extensive command structure involving dozens of senior supervisors.
Officials cautioned the numbers could grow further, with up to 600 HSI agents and as many as 1,500 ICE officers rotating through the region over the course of the month. DHS has not yet publicly commented on the operation.
The surge follows Operation Metro Surge, an ICE campaign launched late last year that targeted individuals with existing deportation orders, including Somali nationals.
As of December 19, DHS reported nearly 700 arrests tied to that effort.
The federal response also coincides with the growing scanda in Minnesota following years of major fraud cases involving federally funded programs, primarily committed by the city’s outsized Somalian community.
Prosecutors have charged more than 90 individuals since 2021, securing over 60 convictions so far, with alleged losses across nutrition, housing, and child care programs estimated in the billions..
“I don’t want them in our country. I’ll be honest with you,” President Trump said of Somali immigrants.
“Their country’s no good for a reason. Their country stinks.”

The Bolivarian regime seems to be eating itself, now.
Monday night erupted in heavy firefights in Caracas, more specifically in areas of Miraflores, where the presidential palace is located.
This comes a mere hours after the interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, was formally sworn in.
Rumors have been circulating that Maduro’s right-hand man, Diosdado Cabello, was planning a coup d’état against Rodríguez.
Apparently, her first decisions were not to the liking of the generals of the highly ideological Bolivarian Armed Forces of Venezuela.
Diosdado controls many of the ‘colectivos of Venezuela’, far-left, heavily armed paramilitary groups operating independently of the Government.

Seattle’s newly elected far-left Mayor Katie Wilson speaks at a campaign event surrounded by progressive activists and supporters
Seattle’s newly installed Communist Mayor Katie Wilson has effectively ordered the police to stand down on open drug use, turning the once-vibrant Emerald City into a dystopian nightmare of needles, overdoses, and unchecked criminality.
This is what happens when Democrats hand the keys to power-hungry socialists who hate law and order – total chaos!
Wilson, a self-described democratic socialist and co-founder of the Transit Riders Union, was sworn in Friday as Seattle’s 58th mayor after defeating incumbent Bruce Harrell in the November 2025 election.
Almost immediately, an internal order from the Seattle Police Department set off alarm bells across the city.
According to an internal New Year’s Day email from SPD Chief Shon Barnes, officers are now instructed to divert all drug possession and use cases away from prosecution and into the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program.
Under the policy, drug offenders who refuse LEAD may eventually face prosecutorial review.
The program excludes drug dealers, violent felons, sex offenders, and individuals under Department of Corrections supervision, but everyday public drug use is now functionally tolerated unless officers decide it rises to a “priority situation.”
Seattle Red reported:
In an email sent to officers last week, Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes announced that all charges related to drug possession or drug use will be diverted away from prosecution and into the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion program.
“Effective immediately, all charges related to drug possession and/or drug use will be diverted from prosecution to the LEAD program. All instances of drug use or possession will be referred to Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD)—a program designed to redirect low-level offenders in King County from the criminal justice system into supportive social services,” the email said.
Barnes adds that if someone fails to comply, prosecutors can step back in. He also emphasizes that officers are still expected to make arrests when probable cause exists, particularly for public drug use. But this is the same rhetorical sleight of hand Seattle has used for years: yes, officers can arrest, but the system will not meaningfully hold offenders accountable.
Barnes also notes that diversion does not apply to those selling or delivering controlled substances and that some individuals are ineligible for LEAD. In practice, LEAD excludes people with serious violent felony histories, sex offenses, or those already under Department of Corrections supervision. That leaves a wide swath of repeat drug users cycling endlessly through a program with no teeth.
This policy shift comes as socialist Mayor Katie Wilson assumes power, and it signals a return to the failed ideology that defined Seattle before the legislature was forced to restore drug possession laws. For all the talk of learning lessons, Seattle is once again choosing diversion over enforcement, even as overdose deaths and public disorder remain historically high.

The Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG) was not buying the spin.
SPOG President Mike Solan torched the decision as reckless and deadly.

“The recent naive, ignorant political decision to not arrest offenders for open drug use in the City of Seattle is horrifically dangerous and will create more death and societal decay.
It embodies an enormous flaw in those in our community who think that meeting people where they are who are in the throes of addiction, is the correct path to lift them up. This is wrong and is commonly referred to as ‘Suicidal Empathy.’ Most cops know that the LEAD program supports this ideology and they don’t want to refer cases. It is a waste of time.
We’ve all seen how our streets can be filled with death, decay, blight and crime when ideology like this infects our city. Now with this resurrected insane direction, death, destruction and more human suffering will be supercharged.”

Following mounting backlash, socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has denied allegations from the Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG) that her administration issued a directive ordering officers to halt arrests for open drug use, according to KRCTV.
“You’ll know when I announce a policy change, because I’ll announce a policy change.
Several weeks ago I published a vision for public safety, which begins with the commitment that “everyone in Seattle, of every background and every income, deserves to be safe in their homes, streets, parks, and places of business in every neighborhood across our city.”
I remain committed to that vision. Our work now is to carry it out, including enforcement of the possession and public use ordinance in priority situations and ensuring that the LEAD framework and other effective responses to neighborhood hot spots are implemented with an appropriate level of urgency, sufficient resources, and a commitment to results.”
Wilson’s critics also point to her carefully curated political persona. During the 2025 campaign, Wilson openly admitted that her parents—both professors—regularly send her checks to help cover childcare costs as a 43-year-old.
She also confirmed she attended Oxford University but dropped out just weeks before graduation, leaving debt-free thanks to family support.

Dan Bongino, former NYPD officer turned US Secret Service Agent, turned popular podcaster, turned FBI Deputy Director, has finally resurfaced after the announcement of his stunning exit from the FBI after less than one year on the job.

His time as second in command at the helm of the FBI was anything but quiet: explosive clashes with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Jeffrey Epstein files, bold pushes to crack long-stalled cases like the January 6 pipe bomb mystery, and record-smashing takedowns of criminal empires—including massive fentanyl hauls, thousands of child rescues, and gang disruptions made headlines during Bongino’s short stint with the intelligence agency. While critics howled about his conservative roots and the potential chaos of choosing a media personality in such a critically important role, supporters hailed him as the people’s champion, hoping her would shake up the badly bruised reputation of the FBI, which a large number of Americans consider a “deep state” bureaucracy. Now free from the constraints of government service, Bongino is poised to roar back into the spotlight, teasing big announcements and a full return to his massively popular podcast, which no doubt is leaving the FBI wondering what explosive revelations might be revealed by the emotional Bongino.
America has many questions, and by the tone of his first public message since his unexpected departure from the FBI as the agency’s No. 2, Bongino appears to be coming out swinging with an aggressive message aimed at his critics as well as a suggestion that he plans to return to his lucrative podcast very soon.
His first message was posted on “X” only a few hours ago:
Good to see you all. I missed you.
Thanks for everything while we worked on cleaning up. Working in the administration was the experience of a lifetime. I’ll have some announcements coming up, but I’m taking a couple of days to spend with the family.
A couple of things: -Thank you for your interest in the show and its return date. We will have something for you soon.
The Trump team is not kidding around. It’s an otherworldly experience from the other side. He’s determined and focused. And having been around quite a few Presidents, this one broke the mold.
If we blocked you, it’s because we care so little about your bullshit that we deem it not worthy of even seeing. If you’re bitching and whining about it, that means you can’t exist without seeing and commenting on ours. You’ll need to get over that. We do it because there’s nothing black-pillers and anti-Trumpers want more than to create division and drama. We’re about results, and we’ll talk about some of it soon.
Love you all, and thanks again.
Flaming Elmo emoji.
Bongino followed up his first message with another post on “X,” which appears to be clarifying his first message:
Let me add this, from the jump, so there’s NO confusion. I started in this movement as a candidate during the Tea Party movement, and I began my political commentary career shortly thereafter. I helped build this movement, and I sure as hell am not going to let it get hijacked by a group of black-pillers, life-losers, grifters, and bums. We are a movement guided by truth. The essence of conservative ideology is the preservation of eternal truths. We are not the “latest thing” group. We are not political cannibals. I’ve watched quietly from the inside while doing the job I was hired to do, but I’m back now, and it’s time to restore balance to the force (that one was for Gui).
As we get ready to make some announcements about the future of the show, I also want to warn the haters and the zeroes – we’ve been at this a long time. We live for this stuff. This isn’t our first, second, or tenth rodeo. We’ve seen a lot of dipshits come and go. We revel in making you angry enough to show your asses. It’s glorious.
We’ve got midterms coming up, and there’s no time for bullshit. This administration is cooking, and REAL change simmers. If you’re spending your entire day bitching and whining with 3/4ths of the term still to go, then please find the exits. There’s no time for it. It’s not “infighting” when you excise a cancer killing the host. It’s “outfighting” because you’re not part of any movement I’m familiar with.
Looking forward to big things ahead.
Can’t wait to tell you about it.
-Dan
Shortly after posting this message, Bongino shared an AI-created video portraying him as a badass “Superfly” law enforcement officer.
