Board said founder's conduct 'gives rise to criminal liability… at a minimum, a third degree felony.' Dennis Kennedy with Hillary Clinton / National Diversity Council A prominent diversity, equity, and inclusion nonprofit declared bankruptcy this month after its board accused its founder and top employees of stealing millions of dollars, a Daily Wire investigation found. Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey are set to keynote a conference run by the alleged thief, apparently through his for-profit firm, next month. The National Diversity Council filed for bankruptcy on March 17 after its board said in a lawsuit that its founder R. Dennis...

Mark Cuban is probably best known as that billionaire on Shark Tank. But did you also know he’s quickly becoming the worst poster on Bluesky? It’s true. Cuban shared an AI-generated video on Friday that may rank as the single worst piece of media ever created for an emerging social media platform. And that’s obviously an extremely high bar. What did Cuban share? Well, it’s kind of hard to explain. Imagine the kind of political video that makes absolutely nobody happy and manages to piss off anyone with two brain cells to rub together. Imagine the kind of video that...

Barack Obama used an autopen to sign condolence letters to families of fallen soldiers and he used the same form letter for each family. The Gateway Pundit discovered this back in 2012 when we were talking to the families of the SEAL Team 6 members who were shot down by the Taliban after the death of Osama bin Laden. On August 6, 2011, 30 US service members were killed when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter they were being transported in crashed in Wardak province, Afghanistan. It was the deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the decade-long war in Afghanistan. 17...

The weaponized judiciary has hit a new low. We’ve seen activist judges pull every trick in the book to block, stall, and sabotage President Trump at every turn. But now, they’re going after something even more dangerous—the President’s authority over national security.In an unprecedented move, a federal judge has blocked President Trump from revoking the security clearance of Perkins Coie.

US District Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee, blocked part of President Trump’s executive order barring employees from DNC law firm Perkins Coie from entering federal buildings. Beryl Howell granted Perkins Coie’s request for a TRO for part of Trump’s executive order and said the president violated the law firm’s due process. “Howell granted the firm’s request for a temporary restraining order for some sections of Trump’s order. The parts being blocked include its limitations on government contracts with clients of the firm and the potential restrictions it puts on the firm’s employees, such as bans on hiring those employees...

"A federal judge Wednesday issued a temporary block to President Donald Trump’s executive order against the law firm Perkins Coie for its election work representing his political opponents. District Judge Beryl Howell, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, said Trump’s order was clearly “retaliatory in nature” against Perkins Coie. .... Perkins Coie was the second law firm targeted by Trump. In a separate but similar order last month, the president also attacked Covington & Burling for representing former Special Counsel Jack Smith, who pursued indictments against Trump over his attempt to overturn the 2020 election and his mishandling of...

By Wayne Allyn Root In just the past few hours, we have uncovered perhaps the biggest scandal of the Biden presidency. It turns out Joe Biden never signed anything- no laws, no Executive Orders, no legal documents, nothing. They were all signed by autopen. There were no original signatures. Which makes them all illegal. That makes everything that happened and passed during the past four years null and void. But that brings up the question of the century: If Biden never signed anything, who did? Who was calling the shots? Who was running the country? I know the answer… All...

Barack and Michelle Obama are quietly carving up their $70 million empire and edging closer to confessing that their 32-year marriage is kaput, Knewz.com can reveal – with their sensational split set to be the first-ever post-White House divorce between a former president and first lady. Hard-nosed lawyers and mediators for the former Democratic Party power couple are attempting to come to terms and divvy up their dollars and assets before the estranged spouses come clean with the American people later this year, said sources. "They want to have everything ironed out in advance," an insider with knowledge of the...

In this writer’s opinion, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton committed treason surrounding the debacle in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11, 2012. In this 1950s, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for treason, for supplying nuclear weapons secrets to the Soviets. Obama, Hillary and possibly several others knowingly provided similar game-changing technology to several of our enemies in bad judgment that amounts to treason. Treason has no statute of limitations. The penalty is life imprisonment, or death. Prosecuting them wouldn’t be Lawfare, because Lawfare involves exaggerated charges or selective prosecution. This is neither. And neither Obama nor Hillary were pardoned. Both...

The U.S. Digital Service hired from the porn industry and a gender studies department, building a legion of queer activists. Now it's DOGE. Democrats thought they could shutter the Department of Government Efficiency before it even started, filing lawsuits that said its anticipated structure as an outside advisory committee was illegal. But when Inauguration Day rolled around, the reality was, for them, much worse: DOGE would be an official entity with hundreds of paid staff, authorized to hire outsiders with little vetting, and able to engage in openly ideological activity. And Democrats had only themselves to blame. DOGE took over...

President Donald Trump on Thursday directed the Federal Aviation Administration to assess safety standards, including evaluating hiring practices, in the wake of the midair collision over Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday night. The presidential memorandum comes after Trump suggested the military helicopter that crashed into an American Airlines regional jet may have been due in part to the FAA’s diversity, equity and inclusion policies. All 67 people aboard the two aircraft were killed. “President Trump swiftly signed a memorandum directing an immediate assessment of the Federal Aviation Administration to ensure the federal government is maintaining the highest personnel...

The struggle continues.. It’s worth asking whether LA’s Mayor Karen Bass is still a communist as we try to understand her odd, defensive behavior regarding the ongoing wildfires in her city, also her ill-timed trip to Ghana when the possibility of these fires was already predicted. I recalled she was an admirer of Fidel Castro, but had forgotten how recent her fulsome praise was, less than a decade ago. From left-leaning Politico August 2020 : “Rep. Karen Bass on Sunday walked back 2016 comments praising Cuban leader Fidel Castro, as scrutiny of her views toward the Communist government threatened her...

President Donald Trump, in the first hours of his administration, revoked former President Joe Biden’s decision to remove Cuba from the United States’ list of state sponsors of terrorism (SST). Cuba’s redesignation as a state sponsor of terrorism is part of a list of 78 executive actions signed by Biden that were revoked by President Trump on Monday evening. In the final week of his administration, former President Biden had Cuba removed from the SST list, a designation the communist-ruled nation first receiving in 1982 and held until 2015. At that time, former President Barack Obama removed Cuba from the...

Barack Obama asked George W. Bush how they could “stop what’s happening” during President Trump’s inauguration on Monday, according to a lip reader. Jackie Gonzalez, a deaf woman who shares her interpretations of celebrities’ and politicians’ private conversations on social media, made a now-viral video revealing what she believed the two former presidents were discussing during a candid moment at Trump’s inauguration.

VIDEORemember when Barack Obama was mocked while running for president in 2008 for thinking there were 57 states? Commentators at the time pointed out he probably made this absurd error because it might have been because there are 57 Islamic states in the world. Well, rather than being embarrassed by the notion of 57 states in the USA, Democrats have now seem to have EMBRACED the idea that there are 57 states in the union. And it isn't just loon on the street corner claiming he (or she) is a Democrat and screaming into the wind that there are 57...

Russia’s military on Tuesday said it would retaliate against Ukraine after Kyiv attacked Russian regions by firing six US-made ATACMS ballistic missiles, six UK-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles and launching one of the biggest drone attacks to date. After Ukraine first launched ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles into Russia last year, Moscow responded on Nov. 21 by launching a new intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile known as “Oreshnik”, or Hazel Tree, at Ukraine. “The actions of the Kyiv regime, supported by its Western curators, will not go unanswered,” the defence ministry said. The Ukrainian General Staff said it had struck...

VIDEOThey just can't stand it. How dare Barack Obama talk amiably with President Trump. It is just something they can't tolerate since they think Orange Man Bad should have been OSTRACIZED at Jimmy Carter's funeral. Watch the Bluesky Bolsheviks throw conniption fits over Obama talking in a very chummy manner with Trump.

Obama on Christmas morning. Trump posted a photo of himself smiling at Obama on Inauguration Day in 2017 captioned: When you see the guy who said ‘you’ll never be president’ at your inauguration. Barack Obama repeatedly said Trump will never be president. In 2016 Obama trolled Trump and suggested he would never become president.

Obama is over. What will the Dems do next? In 2024, Barack Obama was on the ballot. The two Democratic presidential nominees, one of whom he ousted, was his former VP and the other had made herself over in his image. The campaign and policy operations of both Kamala and Biden were staffed with Obamanites. And it was Obama who really lost the 2024 election. Not just Obama, but Obamacrats, a party that championed every leftist policy and that turned over its policymaking apparatus to radical donor-groups, a congressional delegation whose younger members, especially the Squad, embodied multicultural transgressive hipness,...
