Report: FBI Has Been Investigating Joe Kent for Months Over Classified Leak Allegations 

"Joe Kent walked out of a top U.S. intelligence role, accusing allies and insiders of dragging the country into war with Iran. Now, fresh reporting suggests he’s been under federal investigation for months.

"The former director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) didn’t just resign quietly. He lit a match on the way out, publicly breaking with the administration and accusing key players of pushing the United States into a conflict he argued never should have happened.

"In his resignation, Kent made clear this wasn’t about a policy disagreement. It was about a fundamental break over war.

“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”

"That alone would have been enough to shake Washington. A sitting intelligence chief of the NCTC accusing both foreign allies and domestic political actors of driving U.S. military action is not routine dissent. It’s a direct shot at the credibility of the intelligence and policy apparatus he was part of. ". . . More.

More Headaches for Zohran Mamdani After Posts Resurface of Wife's Praise for Terrorist Hijacker

 RedState   

"It doesn’t stop at praise. She also attacked the existence of Israel itself. “F*** Tel Aviv. Shouldn’t exist in the first place. They’re occupiers.'”

"As New York approaches the 25th anniversary of 9/11, resurfaced posts reveal that Rama Duwaji, the wife of socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, praised a terrorist plane hijacker.

“If it does good for my cause, I’ll be happy to accept death.”

"Duwaji paired that line with an image of Leila Khaled, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a U.S.-designated terrorist group. Khaled took part in airline hijackings and, in one case, brought a grenade onto a commercial flight and threatened to blow it up to force her way into the cockpit. This is not abstract politics but a hijacker with a grenade on a plane.

"Khaled was involved in multiple hijackings tied to the PFLP’s broader campaign of international airline attacks. Those operations were designed to pressure governments by putting civilian passengers directly in harm’s way. They were not symbolic acts or distant conflicts but calculated attempts to use commercial flights as leverage, with civilians as the immediate point of risk.

"The post dates to 2017 but is only now resurfacing. The timing doesn’t change what was said. It also doesn’t change that the post was deliberate, written out, and shared publicly rather than said in passing or taken out of context. 

"The same pattern runs through her social media: terrorists and violent extremists framed as people to admire, not condemn. She amplified praise for Shadia Abu Ghazaleh, a PFLP operative tied to a bombing plot targeting civilians in Tel Aviv, shared content celebrating the First Intifada, and reposted an image praising “valiant freedom fighters of Palestine." The figures change, but the framing does not. Across multiple posts, the through line remains the same: elevating figures tied to violence while stripping away the reality of what they carried out." . . .  More...
