Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says Donald Trump told him this week that former CIA Director Mike Pompeo "begged" him to not release the JFK files.
The comment came during RFK's interview with Tucker Carlson who called Pompeo a "criminal."
"I was astonished that Trump didn't declassify them because he promised it during the campaign."
"I talked to President Trump for the first time about that this week."
"He said that Mike Pompeo begged him... called him and said, this would be a catastrophe to release these."

Heated discussions rise in Warrick County Commissioners meeting
WARRICK COUNTY, Ind. (WEHT) — Commissioners approved thousands of dollars in contracts for projects that have yet to be approved and do not have start dates.
You could cut the tension with a knife when County Council President, Brad Overton asked to approach the commissioners.
Commissioners are trying to hire project administrator positions for general obligation, or GO bonds.
What are GO bonds? They are backed by full faith and credit rather than a specific project or asset.
The board approved a $100,000 owners representative agreement involving administrators for the projects, including an animal control project.
Animal control brought the idea before the council over a year ago, asking for something to be done immediately. Overton says this has been on the commissioner’s back burner ever since and the hope is to keep from the taxes rising the sooner it is dealt with.
Overton’s other concern is about the highway department’s project to build a new facility.
Commissioners approved a $225,000 agreement Monday evening.
Although Overton still feels uneasy about the projects, he says his concerns are heard.
COLBERT COMMENT: Who are the “administrators” of these future projects? The Warrick Commissioners are attempting to let agreements to unknown administrators for projects yet to be approved. 🤔
Just a rhetorical 🙋♂️ question? Aren’t these same county commissioners involved in legal matters regarding their leadership?
Remember Dan Saylor, a current Warrick County Commissioner, is serving as a board member of the Evansville Regional Economic Partnership. The same organization that just received $45 million in taxpayer money to develop projects with those elusive public/private partnerships.

When he speaks like this… he’s not talking about “Biden” and “Kamala”…
He is talking about the career Politicians of the Washington Establishment, the Deep State, the SWAMP better known as the Military Industrial Complex that 5-Star General and President Eisenhower warned the world about on January 17, 1961…
Look what happened from 1961 to 2016…
CORPORATE and ENDLESS Wars.
That’s what Liberals support when they support fake actress “Kamala.”
Good thing some of us know what’s taking place. They’ll need us soon.

Former Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel pleaded guilty to 27 of 31 felony charges in court Monday as part of a plea deal in a massive corruption case that could land him in prison for more than a decade.
Noel, a prominent Hoosier Republican, was charged with more than two dozen felonies for allegedly misusing money from the fire and EMS departments which he oversaw.
A plea agreement submitted to the Clark County Circuit Court shows Noel agreed to plead guilty to charges of theft, money laundering, corrupt business influence, official misconduct, obstruction of justice and tax evasion.
Four charges of ghost employment were dismissed as part of the agreement.
Noel faces a 15-year prison sentence but with three of those years suspended to probation if the deal is approved by the judge, according to the plea agreement. He would get credit for time served, beginning June 8.
Story continues below.
Plea Agreement
Special Judge Larry Medlock, of Washington County, said Monday he wants to hear from victims affected by Noel’s actions before making a decision.
Special Prosecutor Ric Hertel, of Ripley County, said in a news briefing after the plea hearing that a sentencing hearing could take more than a day to allow for victims to testify in open court.
“I think that an agreement to 15 years of sentence — at least proposing to the court and the judge — we’ve come a long way since the initial hearing back in November of 2023,” Hertel said.
“I feel like there’s been a lot of time and a lot of effort and a lot of heartache, trying to take into consideration the folks in Clark County, the victims in Clark County … ,” Hertel continued. “I think that (Noel) going to prison for 12 years, if the judge accepts this agreement, should be a pretty big deterrent for a guy who lived a lifestyle that he lived leading up to this. .. It’s about to be a wake up call if the judge accepts this agreement.”
PLEA DEAL NOW IN JUDGE’S HANDS
Additionally included in the plea deal is an agreement for Noel to pay back more than $3.1 million in public funds: $2,870,924 to the Utica Volunteer Firefighters Association; $61,190 to the Clark County Sheriff’s Department; $173,155 to the Indiana Department of Revenue; and $35,245 to the Indiana State Police.
Noel agreed to the plea deal nearly a year after he was arrested and Indiana State Police investigators raided his home in southern Indiana.
Noel posted a $75,000 bond in November, but has been held in the Scott County jail since April after Medlock raised his bond to $1.5 million. The case was originally scheduled to go to trial in November.
The rise and fall of Jamey Noel — and the top Indiana Republicans he knew along the way
Using findings from a long-term Indiana State Police investigation, state prosecutors alleged Noel used millions of taxpayer dollars from the Utica Volunteer Firefighters Association and New Chapel EMS to buy cars, planes, vacations, clothing and other personal luxury purchases. Investigators said public funds were also used to pay for college tuition and child support.
The disgraced former sheriff is additionally accused of tasking county employees with jobs related to his personal collection of classic cars. At least 40 vehicles were confiscated by law enforcement, including a bevy of classics, such as two 1970 Plymouth Superbirds, a 1959 Corvette and 1966 and 1968 Chargers, according to search warrant returns.
Court documents further point to at least $33,000 worth of public funds used by Noel to make contributions to various Republican candidates and campaigns between 2020 and 2023.
Noel’s wife, Misty – who has since filed for divorce from her husband — and daughter, Kasey, separately face charges of theft and tax evasion. Both have pleaded not guilty.
On Monday, the judge set a trial date of Oct. 28. Medlock said the trials can be combined if the two sides can agree on how to handle the jury pool.

EVANSVILLE — The Vanderburgh County Commission this week voted unanimously to send a proposed budget to county council for a potential new, county-only, Area Plan Commission.
The APC is currently a joint department, split evenly between the city and county. The action to send a solo budget for review comes after the relationship between the APC and county commission has become acrimonious, including tension over leadership in the department.
The APC is the department that handles how land is used for the city, county and the town of Darmstadt. It has a 13-member board and meets once a month. During those meeting, they discuss zoning and subdivision requests in those areas.
It's also tasked with future land use planning, meaning it focuses on growth and development of the community.
In January, less than a month after Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry took office, the county commission voted to send her a letter announcing their intent to find new leadership for the APC. The letter named director Ron London and the department's legal representation, attorney Dirck Stahl, as the two on the chopping block.
The letter was sent by then-Commision President Cheryl Musgrave, along with fellow commissioners Justin Elpers and Ben Shoulders. The makeup of the commission has shifted since then, with Musgrave stepping down from her leadership position, and Mike Goebel winning a Democratic caucus to fill Shoulders' seat following his resignation.
But the leadership of APC has not changed, and neither have the issues between the department and the county commission.
Negotiations will continue between the city and county
The APC is guided by an interlocal agreement between the city and county that was last revised in 2014, according the county commission.
Tuesday's action to send a proposed solo budget does nothing to change that agreement. Splitting the department would require an ordinance be drafted and passed, which has not yet occurred.

With all things COVID, we have seen an increase in vaccine mandates. We want to make sure you have the most up to date information possible. This year we witnessed as the flu vaccine was mandate outside of the health care field and religious exemptions were challenged. Employers asking for "proof" of how an individual's religion prevented them from getting a vaccine. According to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 an individual may not be discriminated against for religious beliefs. Again, this is ignored so we must stand up against this.

If your employer is mandating the vaccine please be sure to check out our page here, we will be continuously updating this for your use. You may choose to use the general Religious Exemption form or the Biblical Religious Exemption form. The Biblical Religious form cites the Indiana State Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It also includes bible verses to support the religious exemption.

Indiana Gov. Holcomb talks Slovakia trip, Noel pardon
Any decision about whether or not to pardon former Clark County Sheriff and longtime Republican operative Jamey Noel of his crimes won’t come from the Holcomb administration, Gov. Eric Holcomb said Friday.
“I would just repeat what I’ve said — that never once did he utter one unethical word to me in that friendship,” Holcomb said. “… it will be a question for a successor.”
Earlier this week, Noel pleaded guilty to 27 felony charges as part of a massive, ongoing corruption case that could put Noel behind bars for more than a decade.
Noel led Holcomb’s campaign in 2016 and was part of his transition team.
He also served as chairman of Holcomb’s reelection bid and, prior to Holcomb, attended President Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington, D.C. on a personal invitation from former Gov. Mike Pence, who was Trump’s vice president.
But Holcomb, speaking during a virtual Zoom press conference from Slovakia, said that the pardoning process would require a review of the conviction and sentencing. As of Friday, the judge assigned to the case hadn’t yet accepted Noel’s guilty plea nor had a sentencing hearing been scheduled.
“Per Indiana code, there’s a process — a pardoning process — that has to unfold or occur. And that includes, dependent on the actual sentence, a duration of time served and what the crime is, what the conviction actually is,” Holcomb said. “And so in this case, from what I’ve read before, this would be way after my term ends.
Takeaways from Slovakia
In contrast to other international trips, which seek to curate economic development relationships and business opportunities for the Hoosier State, Slovakia and Indiana has a three-decade long relationship centered around national security and defense capabilities.
“This hasn’t been centered on trade in Slovakia, it’s been centered on our partnership and those relationships which are of paramount importance,” Holcomb said.
After arriving in Slovakia earlier this week, Holcomb attended an event to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the 1944 Slovak National Uprising during World War II in Banska Bystrica.
Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico was critically injured in an assassination attempt in May but appeared to be “in remarkable shape” during a sit-down with Holcomb on Thursday after giving a nationally televised speech.
“That was quite a historic scene. But to be able to have conversations about where we’re going, about the different threats around the world — and Indiana’s role in it, Slovakia’s role in it, obviously — was an enormous source of pride,” Holcomb said.
The diplomacy fostered between the two governments has created opportunities, such as Indiana hosting Slovakian military members and Hoosier airmen delivering military aircraft.
The Slovakian celebration, commemorating freedom from Nazi Germany, reminded Indiana Adjutant Major General Dale Lyles of a Fourth of July holiday when America celebrates its independence.
“Slovakia is a very proud nation and there’s a lot of opportunities for American defense industry to partner with the European defense industry and we are forging ways to do that now,” Lyles said.
Despite having just 136 days left as governor, Holcomb insisted that his administration would continue “to keep up — not just the momentum, but the velocity.”
Especially in light of news of the continued money asks from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, which he described as “a good problem to have” because it signaled growth and “bringing home the bacon.”
“We’re not going to be a lame duck. We’ve got 136 days, over 3,200 hours. We’re going to run through the tape and pass the baton off, hopefully operating at peak performance in terms of economic growth,” Holcomb said. “Because with that … it opens up a lot more choices in how you build community and how you are able to build up people, which is your most important asset.”

Especially in light of news of the continued money asks from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, which he described as “a good problem to have” because it signaled growth and “bringing home the bacon.”
“We’re not going to be a lame duck. We’ve got 136 days, over 3,200 hours. We’re going to run through the tape and pass the baton off, hopefully operating at peak performance in terms of economic growth,” Holcomb said. “Because with that … it opens up a lot more choices in how you build community and how you are able to build up people, which is your most important asset.”

Indiana election law requires the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of each political party to “run” as a pair. The voter may not “mix and match” and cross over political affiliation during the general elections. The Primary allows for more flexibility.
The political process is a learning process as anomalies continue to occur. Since 1996 the Indiana Governor was “selecting” their Lieutenant Governor; this year, the Delegates returned to “nominating” their Lieutenant Governor. Micah Beckwith was the nominee for Lieutenant Governor.
Keep exposing the truth. Keep exposing the political manipulation on both sides of the aisle.
