DEA AGENTS’ Shocking "World Debauchery Tour" Exposed

A WhatsApp chat among DEA agents revealed a shocking “world debauchery tour” involving “boozing and whoring” on taxpayer money. They shared lurid images and joked about serious crimes. The arrest of George Zoumberos in 2018 for allegedly forcing anal sex on a woman in Madrid highlighted the issue.

Despite the severity, U.S. officials barely investigated the woman’s claims. The DEA has long avoided discussing this case, only stating that such misconduct is unacceptable. Thousands of secret documents obtained by AP show a culture of corruption within the agency.

Zoumberos claimed the interaction was consensual and was released after U.S. Embassy intervention. A Spanish judge dismissed the case due to insufficient evidence, and Zoumberos returned to duty with just a reprimand for “poor judgment.” The woman maintains she clearly refused his advances.

This scandal raises serious questions about accountability within federal agencies tasked with enforcing drug laws globally. Taxpayers deserve transparency and integrity from those entrusted with such significant responsibilities.;

BORDER CHAOS Escalates: Migrants from Around the Globe Swarm Southern Border, Agents Struggle to Cope

In a remote corner of Southern California, a diverse group of migrants hailing from countries such as China, Ecuador, Brazil, and Colombia have surrendered to Border Patrol agents. Their makeshift desert campsite is a stark symbol of the recent surge in asylum-seekers that has put immense pressure on various parts of the U.S.-Mexico border. This influx has led to shutdowns at border crossings in Eagle Pass (Texas), San Diego and El Paso.

The Biden administration finds itself scrambling for solutions following a brief dip in illegal crossings due to new asylum restrictions introduced in May. With Democrats pushing for more resources to accommodate asylum-seekers and Republicans using this issue as ammunition for the upcoming 2024 elections, Temporary Protected Status has been granted to an estimated 472,000 Venezuelans already residing in the U.S., adding to the 242,700 who had previously qualified.

In response to this crisis, an additional 800 active-duty military personnel have been deployed at the border joining an existing force of 2,500 National Guard members. Furthermore, holding facilities are being expanded by an additional capacity of 3,250 spaces. The administration

IRS Agents SPEAK Out on Hunter Biden’s Tax Investigation

Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, two IRS employees, have testified about the Hunter Biden investigation. With 14 years under his belt at the IRS, Shapley is a team leader in the International Tax and Financial Crimes group, supervising the investigation into Hunter Biden.

Ziegler, whose identity was revealed only at the House Oversight Committee hearing on July 19, has served 13 years in the IRS Criminal Investigations Division. He started examining Hunter Biden’s tax filings in November 2018, an effort that later merged with a more extensive Delaware-based federal investigation of Biden’s finances.

Both Shapley and Ziegler allege that decisions were made that benefited and protected the president’s son throughout the investigation.
