Speaker Mike Johnson finds himself entangled in controversy once more, as past incidents involving his ‘adopted’ son resurface amidst legislative tumult. .... Snip.... SPEAKER OF THE House Mike Johnson admitted that he and his son monitored each other’s porn intake in a resurfaced clip from 2022. During a conversation on the “War on Technology” at Benton, Louisiana’s Cypress Baptist Church — unearthed by X user Receipt Maven last week — the Louisiana representative talked about how he installed “accountability software” called Covenant Eyes on his devices in order to abstain from internet porn and other unsavory websites. “It scans all...

A Democratic Senator deserves to be in some serious hot water after one of his staffers was caught engaging in a highly inappropriate and explicit act in the halls of Congress. The Spectator broke an explosive story Friday that a young male staffer for Maryland Senator Ben Cardin engaged in multiple graphic sex acts with his older boyfriend in the Hart Senate Office Building. The news site accessed the man’s X account to obtain the footage. Yes, he was showcasing X-rated pornography for the entire world to witness. Here is the report from the Spectator: The so-called hallowed Halls of...

On Thursday The Guardian reported that Joe Biden’s DOJ attempted to bribe the attorney for Trump valet driver in exchange for testimony against Donald Trump. Clearly, this is an illegal act and it should threaten the case against President Trump. The only criminal act in this entire case is the actions by the Biden DOJ! These people are evil. President Trump posted this on Truth Social on this criminal judicial abuse. https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/110506540028751010 https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/110506672426765444 Trump was indicted on Thursday. NEW: Lawyer for Trump’s valet under scrutiny in the Mar-a-Lago docs case has alleged in a letter that top prosecutor Jay Bratt...

It has often been speculated what would happen to this nation if a decadently compromised president who willingly succumbed to extortion from both domestic and foreign interests were elected. That possibility is no longer in the realm of speculation. For the past 27 months the United States has experienced this devastating eventuality, as no president in this nation’s history has been as susceptible to domestic and international blackmail as Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. Nonetheless, in their unbridled hubris, the Democrats' puppet masters turned to Joe Biden whom they could portray as a “moderate” in order to defeat Donald Trump. While...

No one should be surprised that Joe Biden’s ‘classified documents problem’ has emerged at the same time a key city in Ukraine (Soledar) has been liberated by Russian troops. All of the recent reports from the frontlines indicate that the Russian army is steadily seizing more territory in the eastern part of the country while inflicting heavy casualties on the over-matched Ukrainian forces. In short, the Ukrainian army is being beaten badly forcing US war planners to rethink their approach. What the US needs to do to prevail in its proxy-war with Russia, is to enlist a coalition of nations...

Just a few short years ago Biden's son Hunter got a board position at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings for quite the yearly salary and despite having no relevant experience. Not long after Ukraine’s then-Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin began investigating Burisma at which point Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in aid to Ukraine unless they fired Shokin. https://youtu.be/rPzLenTngBQ?t=88Nothing illegal there, eh? Just extortion is all. And it looks like Bumbling Biden is up to his old tricks. Saudi Arabia says that Bumblin' Joe is trying to get them to delay a cut in oil productions for just a...

Legal expert Alan Dershowitz says DOJ use of subpoenas to target House Intelligence Committee staff phone and email records is likely unconstitutional. The former House Intelligence Committee chairman is suggesting the Justice Department illegally spied on him and possibly sought blackmail material after a bombshell revelation that federal prosecutors used grand jury subpoenas five years ago to get the phone and email records of his top investigators during the congressional probe that unraveled the now-disproven Russia collusion narrative. "This is, I believe, unprecedented spying in modern political history at this point, and just sad that it's taken us almost six...

Devin Nunes and his Foreign Intelligence Committee caught the DOJ/FBI spying on Donald Trump and were subpoenaing records from the top law enforcement agency in 2017. The FBI reacted by turning it around and spying on Nunes’s staff and Devin Nunes. Specifically, the Special Counsel handled the spying. The Justice Department’s Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Andy Weissman used grand jury subpoenas to secretly obtain the personal email and phone data of at least two top House Intelligence Committee investigators – Devin Nunes’s lawyers – back in November 2017, reports Just the News. It’s likely more than two. This was...

The Hunter Biden coverup continues to unravel and, as it does, questions about the president's involvement become harder to dodge. Hunter's nefarious dealings with what at the time was China's largest energy company, CEFC, are well-documented, as are his questionable activities in Russia and Ukraine. The concept is known as influence peddling, a smarmy practice refined to an art form in "the swamp." Hunter Biden's "take" from Russia while his father was vice president was reportedly at least $3.5 million, for which he did nothing but be Joe Biden's son. Now, Joe Biden is president of the United States and...

An alleged orgy with prostitutes. Accusations of sex with an underage girl. A trophy photo of a woman wearing only a hula hoop. And a convoluted extortion plot involving a likely dead American hostage in Iran. Even by Florida standards, the Matt Gaetz saga is downright bizarre — and getting weirder by the day. Before this week, the young Sunshine State congressman and ally of former President Donald Trump was best known, like his mentor, for his ambitious conservatism and promontory coiffure. But this week, the Republican has faced a daily flurry of scandalous ­headlines. Most seriously, he is being...

McFarland said according to notes Comey took on the private meeting with Trump, the two explained pleasantries. “And then Comey said, ‘I actually want to reassure you that I intend to stay as FBI director,’” McFarland said he told Trump. “And then Comey pulls out his file, his J. Edgar Hoover file.” Trump denied the claims in the file. “And Comey says, ‘Well, maybe not but the media is really hot for it. Only a few people in the intelligence community have a copy of this.’ Long pause,” McFarland said. “And then, what does President Trump do? He says, ‘Well...

Good morning, I’m still reporting on: Was New FBI Chief Blackmailed? Synopsis: It turns out that among the final rebel holdouts among the coup plotters in the FBI’s fortress on Pennsylvania Ave. is none other than President Trump’s new FBI Director, Christopher Wray. Congressional sources have told the TruePundit that in the last 48 hours President Trump’s FBI Director, Christopher Wray has changed sides from the sheriff sent to clean up Dodge, to a black hat dirty cop who has threatened Trump if he releases the 4-page FISA memo. Has Wray been threatened or blackmailed to get him to so...

A California man suing Powerball winner Edwin Castro over a $2 billion winning ticket claims he was blackmailed and falsely told the ducat “was a loser.” In court papers, Jose Rivera argues he’s the rightful owner of the $2.04 billion jackpot, buying the winning ticket Nov. 7, 2022 — a day before the drawing — from Joe’s Service Station in Altadena. But a man identified as “Reggie,” Urachi F. Romero, allegedly “stole” the ticket and “refused” to return it despite Rivera’s requests, the complaint states. Rivera said he repeatedly asked “Reggie” to hand over the ticket once the winning numbers...

Listen very carefully to what he asks and what Yellen says starting at the 1:15 mark. He is asking if Oklahoma community banks will get the same special assessment to be made whole. Also worth listening to them spar about how some of the investors in SVB were the CCP!!! Did Joe Biden just backdoor payoff the CCP? 1:40 a bank only gets that treatment if a 1:44 majority of the FDIC board a super 1:48 majority is super majority of the FED 1:51 board and I in consultation with the 1:55 president determine that the failure to 1:59 protect...

Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has been the overseer of some very corrupt elections since 2020. We’ve reported on Georgia’s Raffensperger extensively. We first learned of Raffensperger after the 2020 Election. He certified the election for Joe Biden three days after Election Day. This is after finding out that Raffensperger signed two agreements with Hillary attorney Marc Elias that changed the laws in the state related to absentee ballots.Raffensperger oversaw the corrupt acts in the state reported to him the night of the election via Carter Jones. This information was kept from President Trump and the rest of the...

A man who owned a taxi service and storage facility in Aspen, Colorado, has claimed on video tape to the Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) campaign and in a separate exclusive interview with Breitbart News he allegedly blackmailed high profile congressional candidate Democrat Adam Frisch with surveillance footage of him showing up to a storage unit facility where, according to the business owner, Frisch was caught having an affair. ... Democrat congressional hopeful—Frisch is currently challenging Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) in the upcoming November midterm election—has yet to respond to the allegations ... The business owner, a man named Todd Gardner,...

The chief justice of the United States, John Roberts, warned Friday that the SCOTUS risks losing its own authority if it allows the existence of a law like Texas’ near-total abortion ban, which attempts to circumvent the courts. In a strongly worded opinion joined by the high court’s three liberal justices, Roberts wrote that the "clear purpose and actual effect" of the Texas law was "to nullify this Court’s rulings." That, he said, undermines the Constitution and the fundamental role of the Supreme Court and the court system as a whole. The opinion was a remarkable plea by the chief...

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, blah blah blah. Now, having gotten that obligatory sentence out of the way, if Denny Hastert is guilty of molesting a young boy, that's simply terrible. But why do Mitch McConnell and John Boehner seem to be acting as though they might also be blackmailed? Consider how Boehner and McConnell have given in to Obama on all of the following: 1) 100% of his budget requests. 2) Fully funding Obamacare without any restraints. 3) Fully funding Obama's illegal amnesty without any restraints. 4) Raising the debt ceiling repeatedly without any restraints. 5) Effectively giving...
