Later that day, he added: “JFK, Epstein, UAPs

The initial post was accompanied by a link to an opinion piece published in The Daily Signal. In his posts, Burlison referenced high-profile topics such as John F. Kennedy (JFK), Jeffrey Epstein, and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), framing them within broader concerns about governmental secrecy and responsiveness to citizens.
