Internal FBI emails reveal that rogue agents and prosecutors in the Biden DOJ were looking for ways to pile on new criminal charges against Donald Trump over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — this time over his involvement with the J6 prisoner choir, based on a single partisan news article.
The 2023 emails obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and revealed exclusively to The Post are an example of the nitpicking malice of anti-Trump lawfare that tainted special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, during Joe Biden’s presidency.
“Can we do some work to nail down Trump’s role in this,” writes prosecutor JP Cooney to DOJ colleagues on March 8, 2023, in an email with the subject line “J6 Prisoner Choir/DJT” and an attached Forbes.com article titled “Trump Collaborates On Song With Jan. 6 Defendants.” ...
“According to this Forbes article, Trump recorded the Pledge of Allegiance at MAL [Mar a Lago] and Kash Patel [now FBI director] and Ed Henry [a former Fox News host] were also involved,” Cooney wrote in the email chain.
“The profits are routed to an LLC run by Henry, and proceeds are intended for families of incarcerated J6 defendants — but there is apparently a vetting process that excludes families of defendants who assaulted police officers.
“I asked Ahmed [likely prosecutor Ahmed Baset, who was fired earlier this month] to preserve this last night. I’ll talk to Maria/Erin and Julia about doing some follow up here to nail down Trump’s role.”
Cooney also instructed colleagues to look at starting “some process on Ed Henry’s LLC,” presumably a legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or other court-authorized actions to gather evidence.
Evidence of what? Attempting to help families of some J6 defendants while they were some were still in jail, awaitiing charges, at this point, two years after their arrest? Some Democrats created funds to bail out "protestors" some of whom were arrested for arson and murder. Is this okay?
If there is an authoritarian problem in America, Trump does not seem to be the origin.

Over the years, I’ve used a variety of plastic “tupperdors” and a small electric “wineador” humidor from NewAir to store my cigars. Most recently, the NewAir housed my loose sticks, while the plastic containers held the few boxes I’d acquired. Boveda humidification packs did their part to keep everything in good condition. Still, I’ve long desired a large display cabinet humidor — something that could bring all my cigars together in one place.
As my collection grew, the NewAir unit became increasingly crowded, and its electronics had long since failed. Finding a specific cigar often meant opening every drawer and sifting through layers — sometimes repeating the hunt more than once before finding what I was after. More frustratingly, I began passing on deals — especially on full boxes — simply because I had nowhere to put them.
For the past year, I’d been researching the new generation of electronic all-in-one humidors. These modern units heat, cool, and humidify — a true turnkey solution. After reviewing the latest offerings and comparing features that mattered most to me, I settled on the Yohtron YC-488. Yes, I went big. This luxurious unit is rated for up to 2,500 cigars — ten times the capacity of my NewAir 250, though I expect the real-world number to be a bit less.
Getting this beast into the house was no small feat. It’s bulky and weighs over 200 pounds. With a friend’s help, we managed to get it inside. After letting it sit for the required 24 hours to let the compressor oil settle, I powered it on, set the humidity level 5% higher than my target of 69%, and waited. I let it run at that level for three days to allow the Spanish cedar interior to properly season. It’s now been running for a little over week with the cigars inside, and I wanted to share my early impressions.
First off, the construction is impressive. The unit is fully lined with Spanish cedar. (Trivia: “Spanish cedar” isn’t actually cedar — it’s in the mahogany family and native to Central and South America.) The seven cedar drawers are mounted on smooth cabinet rails. They lock into place when pushed in and, crucially, don’t tip when pulled out fully. The generous spacing between drawers makes it easy to see the contents, and there’s ample room to stack boxes if needed. Interior LED strips run the full length of both sides of the cabinet, making it easy to browse — something many units lack.
The 5-liter water reservoir for the humidification system is located at the bottom of the cabinet and is very easy to refill with distilled water — no funnel needed. The drawer includes water level markings on the front to prevent overfilling. One note of caution: the reservoir drawer isn’t on rails, so you’ll need to open it carefully to avoid spills. Above the reservoir is an accessory drawer of sorts — though it seems like filler space to conceal internal electronics.
Temperature and humidity control in the Yohtron have proven impressively stable. I installed three Govee WiFi hygrometer/thermometer sensors, along with a couple of other digital hygrometers, to verify the onboard display. I found that the unit’s display reads about 1.5% to 2% lower than actual humidity.
That quirk sorted, I was able to adjust the settings to reach an average humidity holding steady around my 69% target. The Govee sensors show less than 2% variation throughout the day, with consistent readings from top to bottom — exactly the kind of stability I was looking for. I suspect the environment would be even more stable if the humidor were fully stocked with cigars. Before using the Govee units, I had never even considered measuring humidity in tenths of a percent. The temperature in the cabinet remains just as steady.
This inside consistency throughout the unit is aided by the four circulation fans behind the shelves, which evenly distribute air from bottom to top. That airflow ensures a uniform environment regardless of how many, or how few, cigars are stored — a critical factor, especially since I don’t plan to ever fill the cabinet to its max capacity.
The Yohtron provides an attractive display, and selecting a cigar has never been easier. I still use the Cigar Scanner app to track my inventory and browse my options, but I no longer need to open every drawer and dig around to find my choice. Even better, I can simply turn on the lights and browse before opening the door. To be honest, sometimes I turn on the lights just to admire the cigars inside. The cabinet currently sits in our dining room, across from my bourbon shelves. Despite its size, its clean design keeps it from feeling overly obtrusive — at least in my somewhat biased opinion.
Initially, I was leaning toward one of the smaller Yohtron units — they all share the same core features. But my wife made the most compelling case for going big: “You won’t have to worry about filling it.” I believe she’s right. And now, I can take advantage of cigar deals without wondering where I’ll store new additions.
Cheers!

"According to court documents, Zishan Alvi, 46, of Inverness, Ill., owned and operated a laboratory in Chicago that performed testing for COVID-19. In 2021 and 2022, Alvi caused claims to be submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) for COVID-19 tests that were either not performed at all or not performed correctly. As part of the scheme, the laboratory released negative test results to patients, even though the laboratory either had not tested the specimens or the results were inconclusive because Alvi had diluted the tests to save on costs, rendering the tests unreliable. Alvi knew that the laboratory was releasing negative results for tests that were not performed or were inconclusive but still caused the laboratory to bill HRSA for those tests. Alvi also lied to laboratory directors to conceal his fraud. As a result of the fraudulent claims, HRSA paid the laboratory more than $14 million."

The ATF has restarted publication of Firearms Commerce in the United States. The report for 2024 has been published in May of 2025. This is the "normal" time for the report to be published. One of the insidious actions during the Biden administration was the deliberate hiding of information from the American Public.
The Firearms Commerce in the United States Statistical Update had been continually published from 2011 to 2021.
Then publication stopped. There was no announcement. When questioned about it, staff from the ATF claimed there was no change. The report would be published as normal. The report never was published. No report was published in 2022, 2023, or 2024. The publication of the 2024 report in May of 2025 is a welcome return to normalcy.
The 2021 report showed total firearms manufactured from 1986 - 2019. The 2024 report shows firearms manufactured from 2013 - 2023. The number of firearms manufactured lags other reports because the information is considered sensitive, and could be used for competitive advantage. Therefore it is withheld for a year.
Somewhere, a decision was made to show only the previous 11 years of data, from 2013 to 2023. The data overlaps data from previous reports, so it is all available. The 2024 report shows a drop of firearms manufactured in the United States from 2022 to 2023. In 2022 the number was reported as 13,395,031. In 2023 the total was reported as 9,772,259, a drop of 27%!
There are some areas which deserve further attention. The 2024 report shows a total number of registered silencers as 3,536,623 as of May of 2024. In May of 2021, the number was reported as 2,664,774. Less than a million additional silencers registered over those three years seems to contradict some other reporting. The NSSF obtained information showing 4.8 million silencers registered to Americans as of July of 2024, with 2,193,123 added from May of 2021 to July of 2024. It is probably a reporting glitch. This correspondent suspects the number of registered silencers is over 5 million at present.
The number of short barreled shotguns registered with the ATF increased from 162,267 to 165,180 from the 2021 report to the 2024 report. It is a very small increase. This is explained with the ATF ruling that pistol grip firearms over 26.1 inches long, chambered for shotgun shells, are not technically "shotguns", but are simply firearms. Bullpup shotguns such as the Keltec KSG, KS7, and KS410, have significant magazine capacities, are just over 26 inches long, and have shoulder stocks. They do not require payment of a $200 tax and all the intrusive National Firearms Act (NFA) paperwork. The Taurus Judge and Smith & Wesson Governor revolvers which fire both .45 Colt and .410 cartridges are available. There is little reason to manufacture and register NFA short barreled shotguns when those alternatives can be acquired without the $200 tax.
Analysis:
The Biden administration was one of the least transparent in history. While talking to radio show host Russ Clark, this correspondent traded anecdotes on the difficulty of obtaining information from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the FBI, and the ATF. The information was previously easily available over the Internet.
The return of the Firearms Commerce in the United States is a welcome example of the return to transparency with the Trump administration. So far, reports which would normally have been published in 2022, 2023, and 2024 remain missing. They may never be reconstructed. This correspondent would like to see the missing reports published for historical continuity, and as a check on accuracy. Mistakes which would be caught in annual reports can be missed when a span of three years is unreported.

The war is going very badly for the Iranian government, which is to say it is going very well for everyone else. The ability of the Israeli Air Force to operate freely over Tehran is increasing and the ability of the IRGC to launch missiles at Israel has been severely degraded.
I've been watching this guy, who seems to be an Iranian living overseas. His reporting seems to be six or eigh hours ahead of the corporate media. He reports that the Iranian army is defecting to the opposition, who is aligned with the Crown Prince, the son of the deceased Shah. It appears that the IRGC has been severely depleted, and the Islamic government is defeated.
Regime change is the dream, but that is and should be the province of the Iranian people. I would love to see a secular, parliamentarian government in Iran, but that might be a pipe dream. The simple fact is that the IRGC is going through its death spasm and there will be chaos for a while.
In the US, the news media are idiots, asking the President to reveal whether or not he will bomb Fordom. Of couse, he tell sthe media that it's a stupid question. As well it should be. Let us recall that the Glo bal War on Terror is still a thing, and Iran is the chief exporter of terror in the Middle East.

Fort Cavasas will go back to being Fort Hood, this time renamed after some WW1 colonel. Okay. I still think that the Army missed a sure bet by not naming it Fort Seguin in the first place.
For those who don't know who Juan Seguin was, he was a true Texas patriot, a military and political leader, and probably the only man to serve both at the Alamo under Travis and at San Jacinto under Houston. They should have named that post Seguin from the beginning.
As for Polk, they could name it Fort Armpit, or Camp Swampy for all I care. I served there a lot in the 80s and 90s and never did like the place.
