Interview with Brian Cole Jr.'s mother by Cara Castranuova.

The strongest government cluster is overlap among four things: retail purchases, cell-site movement, a nearby license-plate hit, and later recovery of matching hardware at his home and in his car.

Purchases. Court papers say Cole bought, across 2019 and 2020 at Home Depot, Walmart, Lowe’s, and Micro Center in northern Virginia, items the FBI says matched components recovered from the two devices: same-size galvanized pipes with matching manufacturer markings, mixed black and galvanized end caps, 14-gauge red/black wire, 9-volt connectors, white kitchen timers, and related hardware. Some purchases predate the 2020 election, which undercuts a simple “reaction to November 2020” story even if the government later alleges a political motive.

Phone and car. Prosecutors say Cole’s phone hit five towers covering the same streets and alleys the hooded figure walked between about 7:39 p.m. and 8:24 p.m. on January 5, 2021, and that his Nissan Sentra passed a license-plate reader near South Capitol Street around 7:10 p.m., less than half a mile from where the figure first appears on video.

Search after arrest. Agents say they found matching pipes, end caps, wire, and a November 16, 2020 Home Depot receipt in a bag accessible through Cole’s bedroom, plus more of the same class of parts and an August 2022 Home Depot receipt in his car. They also cite hundreds of phone “wipe” or factory-reset events, including one about three hours before the December 4, 2025 arrest. The defense attributes the resets to documented OCD, not concealment.

Alleged statements. Detention filings quote prosecutors as saying Cole, after first denying involvement, described building, transporting, and placing the devices; said “something just snapped”; and said he targeted “the parties” because they were “in charge.” He has pleaded not guilty. Defense counsel Mario Williams has publicly denied that the interview was a confession. The recording itself is not public.

That combination is why a magistrate found probable cause and later found danger sufficient for pretrial detention. It is also why the government can try the case without a clean facial ID from the 2021 video. The hooded figure’s face is covered.

What is weaker or actively contested:

Visual identification is the biggest public gap. The FBI estimated the figure at about 5'7" plus or minus an inch; Cole is listed at 5'6" and wears glasses. The video person also wears glasses and Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes. Family, neighbors, and some independent reviewers say Cole’s gait, posture, phone-holding distance, and habitual accessories do not match the hooded walker.

Cole is described as having an outward-toed, less confident walk and holding a phone close to his face because of a strong prescription; the figure is described as more upright, with a different stride and holding a phone farther away in the dark. Those comparisons are advocacy and open-source analysis, not court findings. They matter because the government has not released a public forensic gait match that settles the dispute, but Steve Baker has!

Device “viability” is also disputed. Officials long called the devices viable. A defense explosives expert, Brennan Phillips, reviewed FBI lab reports and concluded the recovered powder was not mixed in a working ratio and that the ignition setup would not have functioned as a bomb. Early FBI flame tests on bulk powder samples were negative; a later test on a small associated sample was positive. Former FBI lab whistleblower Fred Whitehurst separately called the lab write-up a mess and said poorly proportioned ingredients would not explode. This goes to the terrorism and WMD counts more than to “who walked the route.” Even an inoperable device can still support some explosives charges if the government proves attempted use. It does not, by itself, prove identity.

Lastly, evidence relating to shoe size from footprints and estimates from video showed an estimated shoe size of 8 to 9. Brian Cole Jr.'s wears size 11 sneakers.

Tomorrow is the court ordered deadline for the DOJ to respond to the J6 lawsuit alleging that the Biden DOJ used coercive tactics to extract plea deals.

To date, DOJ has refused to engage in settlement discussions, even though they know we are not asking for money, just an investigation, which President Trump has ordered.

Tomorrow we will find out if they will continue to fight against any investigation into these coercive and Stalinist practices.

The Trump administration has launched a coordinated crackdown on election fraud, resulting in dozens of arrests and federal charges across the US in late August and September 2026. Federal authorities have charged over 20 individuals for illegally voting, falsifying citizenship status, and engaging in ballot fraud ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Texas Noncitizen Voting

On September 15, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the arrest of seven noncitizens in the Northern District of Texas. The group includes six lawful permanent residents (green card holders) from Nigeria, Mexico, India, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and one Mexican national previously ordered removed from the US. Prosecutors allege they falsely claimed US citizenship to vote in the 2024 general election.

Multi-State DOJ and FBI Actions

The Department of Justice and FBI charged five individuals in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Wisconsin in early September for illegal voting and fraudulent registration during the 2022 or 2024 elections. Notably, Katya Rodriguez, a 30-year-old Mexican national in Pennsylvania, faces up to 11 years in prison for voting as an alien. Additionally, the DOJ charged six others in California, Kansas, and Louisiana on September 14, including a scheme where James Brass paid individuals on Skid Row in Los Angeles to sign ballot petitions using stolen voter identities.

Other Notable Arrests

Kansas: Mariana Alexandra Dewey, a Peruvian national and permanent resident, was arrested on September 1 for falsely claiming US citizenship to vote in the 2024 presidential election.

Massachusetts: Yupeng Sun, a Chinese national, was charged with fraudulent voter registration after impersonating another resident.

Georgia: Anthony Tyrone Higgs, a Bahamian national with prior criminal convictions, was arrested by DHS for illegally voting in the 2020 election and has been placed in removal proceedings.

California: Darwin Jonathan Rivera Flores, a Honduran national, was arrested in August for unlawfully registering to vote and falsely claiming US citizenship.

The White House stated that evidence of noncitizen registration and voting "continues to pile up," with Homeland Security identifying over 250,000 registered noncitizens in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Nevada.

Texas Noncitizen Voters Charged: What We Know

Nigerian national charged for illegally voting—The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas said six defendants were indicted September 10 and a seventh was charged by criminal complaint the following day. Authorities said all seven defendants had been arrested or had surrendered to authorities by Tuesday.

The defendants include six green card holders from Nigeria, Mexico, India, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, along with a Mexican national who had already been ordered removed from the country, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said. Prosecutors allege the cases involve voting in the 2018 or 2024 elections, attempting to vote through provisional ballots, or making false statements regarding citizenship status on government forms.

Among those charged is Helen Sayen Adams, a 67-year-old Nigerian citizen and green card holder whom prosecutors allege falsely claimed U.S. citizenship on a Texas voter registration application before voting in the November 2024 election in Tarrant County. Rocio Thrasher, a 38-year-old Mexican citizen and lawful permanent resident, is accused of making a similar false claim when registering to vote before casting a ballot in the same election.

in 1812 we were once more at War with England. after burning Washington, the british navy and armies conspired to burn and loot Baltimore in hopes of dissolving the newly born Republic. detained on a prisoner exchange vessel, a young attorney , Francis Scott Key observed the British attempt to destroy Fort McHenry to open the way to Baltimore. all night long the British bomb ships lobbed explosives and rockets to force its surrender. but the dawn brought a glorious sight of the gigantic battle flag with 15 stars and broad stripes, still flying in the morning breeze. enthralled, the young scribe penned a poem that later became our most famous song of the Republic!

The viral post about the Whitehouse tracking your location when you download the WH app is partly true about the code, and false about current behavior and “no way to disable it.” Fact-checks published today treat the “secret unstoppable GPS tracker” version as misleading.

What the claim says vs. what’s real

The official White House app launched in March 2026. Researchers who decompiled it found the OneSignal push/analytics SDK, including location-tracking code that could poll GPS about every 4.5 minutes in the foreground and ~9.5 minutes in the background. That data would go to OneSignal, a private company, not a White House server.

Independent live-device tests (NowSecure, Atomic Computer, and later fact-checks) found no evidence that exact GPS is being collected or sent right now. The location feature is compiled in and can be flipped on from OneSignal’s servers, but it still needs the phone’s location permission. Newer app text even says it does not use location. The White House has also denied collecting locations.

So:

True: tracking capability is in the app; it can be enabled remotely; there is no in-app “turn off GPS” switch.

False: it is currently siphoning exact coordinates every 4.5 minutes with no way to stop it.

Also real, and under-discussed: the app still sends IP, timezone, device model, OS, session data, and a persistent ID to OneSignal. IP can place you at city level. It has also used sloppy third-party code (including a personal GitHub page for embeds) and scripts that hid cookie/consent banners inside the in-app browser. On many government work phones, the app was pushed by MDM and comes back if deleted.

How to keep privacy

Best option: don’t install it. The same press releases, videos, and alerts are on whitehouse.gov in a normal browser and you can view it there when you want.

If it’s already on a personal phone:

Deny location at the OS level (this is the control a server-side switch cannot override).iPhone: Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → The White House → Never.
Android: Settings → Apps → The White House → Permissions → Location → Don’t allow.

Delete the app if you don’t need it.

Turn off its notifications.

Don’t sign in or give email/phone.

Don’t open third-party pages inside the app; use Safari/Chrome instead.

A VPN hides your real IP from OneSignal; it does not block GPS if you grant location.

If it’s on a work/government phone and you can’t uninstall it: set Location to Never if the MDM allows it. If the setting is locked, that’s agency policy — raise it with IT/security rather than jailbreaking the device.

OS permission is the real off switch. The missing in-app toggle is sloppy, not proof that GPS is running with no escape.

A federal appeals panel sided with Missouri Republicans on the state’s midterm map. The judges asked the Supreme Court to review it within a week. The election is six weeks out.

Update

David here. Words can’t express how thankful I am for your prayers, letters of encouragement, and donations to cover medical expenses.

I have had much time to reflect. Each breath and heartbeat a gift from God. This is the first time in my life where I have felt old. A pause to catch a breath I didn’t know I needed. Short walks around the block with my bride. Longer looks at my children. I have found myself tearing up uncontrollably for no reason other than simple gratitude. I resolve to fight the “old man” and be of service again.

I met with my surgeon this morning. He told me more about what happened. A miracle. An orchestra of variables. One missing from the puzzle and I would not be here. 100% blockage in the artery known as the “widow maker” — now stented. I have two more arteries with 60% and 70% blockage.

The surgeon wants to see if we can reverse damage to my heart and heal without another surgery. Right now my heart is at about 45% strength of where it should be. I begin cardiac rehab.

The how and why of what occurred is a long story. Here is the cliff’s notes version: Pre-Jesus, I lived a very hard life. Drugs, alcohol, and a self-induced cardiac arrest at the age of 21, left me with a bum ticker. For several years, I was a pack a day smoker. And for several years after my spiritual conversion, through trial and error, I worked on daily “sanctification” trying to eliminate vices I still carried.

A severe back injury in 2008 left me restless for a decade, with numbness in my right leg and foot, until I found a radical restrictive diet that helped with inflammation, but may have elevated cholesterol. My career as a prosecutor left me on call around the clock, and my performance was fueled by pots of coffee, which led to arrhythmia, heart murmurs, and prayer that God would provide healing.

The last six years compounded what was already there. Employment termination, public slander, constant lawfare from the BAR, cabin burnt to crisp under mysterious circumstances, and travel that averaged over a hundred flights a year to 49 states, with thousands of meetings. I have felt mild strain and pressure in my chest for sometime. 2021 was especially difficult.

I have generally held the medical profession at arm’s length my whole life. I’ve been to the doctor maybe three times in my adult life. As my heart symptoms worsened, however, COVID-19 hysteria and adherence to protocols that murdered patients was the primary reason I would not enter a doctor’s office.

I knew it was just a matter of time that something would give, but set aside those concerns, praying that our country would see free and fair elections, J6ers would be restored, and that I’d have more time.

And then I didn’t.

I went through a door to “the other side” after dying on the table. In a single moment, I left behind my children, and being a father was an impossibility. Being a husband—gone. I left ambition behind, dreams behind, shame and condemnation behind. Bills, petty fights, bruised ego, all made inconsequential. Such finality.

After a few minutes of being in the hereafter, I was jolted back by paddles, hearing the surgical team exclaim “we brought him back! David you are back with us….”

It’s with this that I say I won’t be making a public appearance for a while, and won’t be doing social media, or interviews, for the foreseeable future. I believe God wants me to be still, speak less, and not waste anything, including my words.

Just know I read your comments, am so thankful for you, and believe God has a purpose for me down the road.

Lord willing, I will focus on writing and producing Professor’s Record episodes, doing rehab, and nothing else. I’m sorry to disappoint anyone. I just don’t have much left in me at the moment, and it saddens me to say that. Being able to grind was my superpower.

Last thing. On the table, one is confronted with the question of all questions.

Is He (Christ) real?

Yes. So much so, that you realize what grieves Him. Forgiveness is so important.

He died for you and me. He forgave you and me. Don’t cheapen what He did on the cross, by refusing to carry a cross of your own. Love the unloveable, forgive the unforgivable, because one day, you are going through that door.

Love you all.
