  • Timcast IRL — Oct 29, 2026: Omar probe cover-up claims, Alaska subpoenas, fired general, Red Baron fundraiser
    Oct 30 2026

    Verdicts:

    - Obama DOJ probe found evidence the Omar marriage was a sham: partly supported, misleading — Times reported some 2016 evidence, not proof; prosecutors stopped on limitations grounds.

    - A Biden-appointed U.S. attorney shut the probe in 2021: partly supported — Fox single-source claim; Times says it stalled over limitations.

    - Patrick Stewart died at 86: correct — died Oct 28, announced Oct 29; family cited Alzheimer's/Lewy body dementia.

    - Marriage-fraud limitations run from discovery: partly supported, misleading — five-year clock runs from the last fraudulent act, not discovery.

    - Omar's father was a warlord general behind 100,000–200,000 deaths: partly supported, misleading — colonel under Barre, not general; no evidence ties him personally to those deaths.

    - Three dozen Alaska subpoenas plus Dunleavy probe: correct — no charges.

    - The Times definitively reported Peltola fraud: partly supported, misleading — it reported recruitment, noted ballot stacking is generally legal, found no fraud.

    - Elite poll: 75% Democrats, majority would cheat: partly supported, misleading — 69% was the politically obsessed subgroup (35% of elites overall); Democrats ~70%.

    - Second Dan Sullivan sought a Dan S. Sullivan listing: partly supported, misleading — he sought "Dan Sullivan"; ballot lists Daniel J. Sullivan Jr.

    - Poll firms fabricated polls to game prediction markets: partly supported, misleading — admissions real; market motive unproven.

    - FBI warned McAfee to wear a vest for Utah: partly supported, misleading — reported after Kirk's killing; McAfee said it may have come from a security group.

    - FBI arrested/tracked Cunningham threats over her stance: partly supported, misleading — one stalker arrested in June; 20-person claim is hers, unconfirmed; motive link unproven.

    - O'Keefe never identified as someone else: incorrect — complaint says he and Higby gave judges real voters' names without permission.

    - General Sylvia admitted leaking to two reporters, failing four polygraphs: correct, qualified — per Axios; other outlets reported three tests, colleagues dispute it, no charges.

    - Red Baron fundraiser over $400,000: correct — $330,000 Thu evening, over $440,000 Fri morning.

    - Red Baron tweeted employee of the month: correct.

    - Religious notice: sustained theology discussion plus a comment placing Stewart in hell — no scientific evidence for hell or a god who destroys towns or saves mankind through Jesus.


    Tracker: 129 claims — 48 supported, 54 partly supported/misleading, 13 contradicted, 13 unresolved, 1 prediction pending.
