Tulsi Gabbard confirms she has referred Barack Obama to the DOJ for criminal prosecution

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — She hadn’t seen cracks like that since the earthquake. Now they snaked up her buttercream dining room walls and etched tiny ravines in the ceiling. “Crazy,” Fernande Vital said to her husband as they eyed the damage. “They’re driving me crazy.” Clearly, they’d spread. Like the scars on all those buildings back home, she told a construction-worker friend who, as a fellow Haitian, understood. He’d also survived the 7.0 mega-tremors that once leveled much of their island nation. Fernande had figured calamity wouldn’t trail them to America, land of the free, home of the Kardashian opulence on...

President Donald Trump stated that former President Barack Obama should be the subject of an investigation by the Justice Department following the release of reports from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The report alleged there is evidence that the Obama administration manipulated intelligence related to the Russia collusion hoax in the 2016 presidential election. Based on the report’s findings, Gabbard submitted criminal referrals to the Justice Department. Obama and several of his officials are now being accused of engaging in a “treasonous conspiracy” against President Trump after he was elected to his first term. Trump was asked who he...

A community-owned grocery store in Kansas City, Missouri, is on the brink of closing as the concept of municipal subsidies for such stores gets more attention around the country due to the New York City mayoral race. The local government in Kansas City sought to address a so-called "food desert" — a term used to describe areas without access to full-service grocery stores that sell fresh produce, meat and other healthier options along with the standard supermarket fare. The store, known as KC Sun Fresh, lost nearly $900,000 over the last year and received tens of millions of dollars dating...

Controversy erupted in New Jersey recently when a Little Leaguer was suspended from the state tournament for celebrating his home run with a bat flip. Haddonfield Little Leaguer Marco Rocco, age 12, celebrated his home run against Harrison Little League last week by flipping his bat into the air as he walked the bases. The umpires immediately ejected Rocco from the game, citing a “safety concern.” He also earned a one-game suspension. Despite protests from his family, Little League International maintains that he broke an established rule. The Rocco family has since filed “an emergency temporary restraining order in the...

DNI Tulsi Gabbard released her second batch of previously undisclosed documents on Wednesday morning that include more proof that Barack Obama directly gave the order to publish Russia Collusion hoax knowing there was no proof to back it up. Wednesday’s document release followed Friday’s document dump by ODNI Tulsi Gabbard of a declassified December 2016 presidential briefing revealing Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax. According to the newly declassified documents, Russian Intelligence obtained DNC communications revealing Hillary Clinton’s state of health to be “extraordinarily alarming.” “As of September 2016, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) had...

VIDEOThose of you who live in South Florida might know about Democrat pollster Fernand Amandi. He was a host on WIOD Radio in Miami in the months leading up to the 2016 election. This shmuck's big shtick was inviting callers who supported Trump to tell why they think Trump could win that election... and then he proceeded to mock them. Oh, how Amandi laughed at anybody who claimed Trump could win. It was all great fun for Fernand Amandi to mock Trump supporters ...until Election Day. After that poor Fernand suffered a mental breakdown of such epic proportions that WIOD...

The U.S. Army has officially canceled the M10 Booker armored vehicle program as part of a major acquisition reform initiative. The decision was driven by a strategic shift away from counter-insurgency towards preparing for high-intensity peer conflict, a role for which the M10 was ill-suited. The vehicle failed on multiple fronts: it became too heavy for air deployment, was no longer cost-effective, and could not be adapted for future battlefields.

The latest round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine has started at the Ciragan Palace in Istanbul, RT reported on Wednesday.

The EU and US are closing in on a trade deal that would impose 15 per cent tariffs on European imports, similar to the agreement Donald Trump struck with Japan this week. Brussels could agree to the so-called reciprocal levies to avoid the US president’s threat to raise them to 30 per cent from August 1, three people familiar with the situation told the Financial Times. "The Japan agreement made clear the terms of the shakedown,” said one EU diplomat. “Most member states are holding their noses and could take this deal.” Both sides would waive tariffs on some products,...

The European Union and the US administration are nearing a 15% tariff deal, according to a report on Wednesday by the Financial Times, citing people with knowledge of the matter. Three individuals familiar with the developments reported to the newspaper that Brussels is advocating for the deal to prevent a tariff increase to 30%, as previously suggested by President Donald Trump. The measure is expected to take effect from August 1. However, the European Commission reportedly briefed envoys on Wednesday after discussions with the American representatives. It is also indicated that both sides might eliminate tariffs on certain goods, such...

In some massive news for those wanting to see fraudsters held accountable for their awful crimes against the public, the Department of Justice and FBI announced that it had arrested nearly 6 dozen fraudsters in the deep blue state of Minnesota over a scheme in which they stole $250 million from a program meant to feed hungry children. As background, the $250 million fraud scheme targeted a children’s nutrition program that was created during the COVID-19 pandemic and called “Feeding our Future.” It was meant to reimburse the costs of feeding children during the pandemic, so as to keep kids...

Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke of New York admitted in comments that resurfaced Tuesday that she was eager for immigrants to enter the United States to help Democrats with redistricting. Clarke initially made the comments during an Oct. 7, 2021, House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, which were previously resurfaced in a January 2024 post on X from the EndWokeness account before resurfacing again. During the 2021 hearing, Clarke took aim at Republicans who were objecting to Haitian migrants. “I’m from Brooklyn, New York,” Clarke said during the hearing. “We have a diaspora that, that can absorb a significant number of these...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, is calling on the Justice Department (DOJ) to charge former senior national health adviser Anthony Fauci with lying to Congress to test whether former President Biden’s pardon of Fauci will hold up in court. “I do believe Anthony Fauci committed a felony by lying to Congress,” Paul told pro-President Trump activist Charlie Kirk in an interview when asked whether Biden pardon’s signed by autopen would hold up in court. “You have to charge him with a felony, take him to court and then the court will decide whether or...

9 Likely Reasons the Epstein “Client List” Is Withheld 1. No Formal List Exists The term “client list” may be misleading. Names are likely scattered across flight logs, depositions, and evidence files, without a single official document labeled as such. 2. Avoiding Legal Risk Releasing names could trigger defamation lawsuits, privacy claims, or legal exposure for missteps in how the investigation has been handled. 3. Victim Protection Even with redactions, disclosing documents risks identifying survivors or retraumatizing those who testified under sensitive conditions. 4. Avoiding Exposure of Record Destruction Acknowledging that a list once existed but was destroyed under a...

Here are the top Obama-Russia Hoax lies debunked by today’s release: View Fullscreen

Across Europe, things feel increasingly fragile. As governments lose control of basic order and the state becomes rapidly incapable of maintaining law and order, this isn’t so much a ‘clash of civilisations’ as the West quietly rolling over and letting itself die. Today, it was announced that Germany will be working alongside the Taliban. Yes, those same extremist Islamists that NATO forces—including Germany’s—spent years fighting in Afghanistan. The aim here is to facilitate the deportations of Afghan criminals living in Germany. Despite not officially recognising the Taliban regime, Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s government will allow two Taliban officials to work at...
