Barack and Michelle Obama have put on a rare show of unity by jetting off on a lavish getaway together - after months of swirling speculation about their marriage. The couple seemed to put the ongoing divorce rumors to rest as they soaked up the sun in Portofino, Italy, aboard their pal Steven Spielberg's $250 million superyacht over the weekend. The pair notably arrived separate from one another, however, with photographers catching a solo Michelle, 61, getting onto the luxurious, 357-foot boat via a tender ahead of her husband. She donned some baggy jeans, a matching denim button-down top, with...

The specter of Obama still lurks in Washington. It’s awful how lefties fear-monger about Social Security, but that doesn’t mean it’s not in trouble. It is. We all know it is. Just not how the left portrays it. It’s just groaning under its own weight and sooner or later, likely sooner, the Hill is going to have to tackle it. Being the pedantic, unoriginal cowards that they are, they’ll likely look to the past for how to do it. What’s back there? Obama. Obama showed them how they might do it. Let’s take a walk down memory lane. Your money,...

Former President Barack Obama has waded into states’ efforts at rare mid-decade redistricting efforts, saying he agrees with California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s response to alter his state’s congressional maps, in the way of Texas redistricting efforts promoted by President Donald Trump aimed at shoring up Republicans’ position in next year’s elections. “I believe that Gov. Newsom’s approach is a responsible approach. He said this is going to be responsible. We’re not going to try to completely maximize it,” Obama said at a Tuesday fundraiser on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, according to excerpts obtained by The Associated Press. “We’re only going...

Remember, this is the best that Democrats can do: For more than five weeks during the brutally cold winter of 1997, tenants suffered without any heat in a government-subsidized apartment building. The 31-unit building in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood had been "rehabbed" just four years prior at taxpayer expense, no less. And the residents of the building had no heat for more than a month. The building's owner -- Rezmar Corporation -- didn't bother to turn on the heat for weeks. In fact, it didn't do so until it was sued. And the Englewood building wasn't the only one of Rezmar's...

Black vacationers on Martha’s Vineyard often describe visiting the island in August as a kind of family reunion. If your family happens to include Michelle Obama, that is. “This is a special place for us, because, as you all know, this is where we come to enjoy being us,” Ms. Obama said Saturday afternoon at the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival, where she joined her older brother, Craig Robinson, for a live recording of their podcast, “IMO,” which she likened to a kitchen table. The brother-sister duo were speaking with the actress Natasha Rothwell, whom they repeatedly referred to...

Did you know that the head of the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS) isn't a Lutheran OR a Christian at all? She's a progressive Communist (atheist) who used to work for Obama & Hillary at the State Department and as Michelle Obama's policy director....

Portraits of other recent predecessors with whom President Donald Trump has a contentious relationship, former President George W. Bush and his father, George H. W. Bush, have also been moved. Trump directed staff to move the Obama portrait to the top of the Grand Staircase, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN, where it will now be out of view from thousands of visitors who tour the White House each day. One of the sources added that the portraits of both Bushes are also now in the staircase area. Multiple sources have said that the president is directly involved...

“I watched the black-white stuff start on Thursday night.” In the 2024 election, Barack Obama found himself in the unexpected position of fighting against the rise of the second black president. Opposing him was nearly every black Democrat, from Rep. Jim Clyburn, who helped put Biden in the White House in exchange for promises to appoint a black woman as his VP and to the Supreme Court, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, who were determined to make Kamala the candidate. Biden’s debate collapse had created a historic moment of the worst possible kind. Dems needed...

In 2020, a disgruntled litigant posing as a deliveryman opened fire at the New Jersey home of District Judge Esther Salas, killing her 20-year-old son Daniel Anderl. Five years later, as President Donald Trump steps up hiscriticism of federal judges who have blocked some of his agenda, dozens of judges have had unsolicited pizzas delivered to their homes, often in Daniel Anderl’s name.District Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. of Rhode Island, who stalled Trump’s initial round of across-the-board spending cuts, is among those who received pizzas in Anderl’s name.

Edits to articles under lock are limited to a specific, controlled group of Wikipedia users. Wikipedia has long established itself as a website controlled by a coalition of partisan hacks. The latest example of the online encyclopedia’s attempt to literally rewrite the narrative appears on its article titled “Steele Dossier.” Five paragraphs into Wikipedia’s detailed description of the document that fueled the Russia collusion hoax, the article claims that British spy Christopher Steele’s manufactured evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow “did not play any role in the January 6, 2017 intelligence community assessment of the Russian actions...

President Trump’s former impeachment attorney David Schoen dropped a legal nuke on the legacy of Barack Obama — declaring that the 44th President of the United States can still be impeached, and if so, could lose his post-presidential immunity and face indictment for criminal conduct tied to the Russia Collusion hoax. This explosive revelation came just days after President Trump remarked that Obama owed him “big” for the recent Supreme Court decision affirming presidential immunity for official acts committed while in office. But Schoen isn’t letting Obama off the hook. Let’s not forget — during their second failed impeachment attempt...

Paul Sperry @paulsperry_ BREAKING: Senate Intel ranking Dem Mark Warner turned away an intel analyst who worked on the ICA & approached his office "numerous times" to blow whistle on CIA Dir Brennan juicing bad intel on Russia and Trump, but Warner refused to even give him email address to send evidence. 7:25 PM · Jul 26, 2025

Q: "Former President Obama's office responded to the documents that you've released, calling the bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempted distraction. What is your response to president former the former president?" Tulsi: "They're doing the exact same thing that people like Senator Warner are doing. He was the head of the intelligence, uh, committee at the time. They would have to admit, and actually address the details of their complicity in this or their absolute failure in conducting the most basic responsibilities of, again, asking where is this intelligence coming from?" "What are the sources? What proof do...

The Left is America’s oldest enemy.It was here long before the 1960s, calling for the execution of George Washington, plotting to stop the ratification of the Constitution, and collaborating with foreign enemies. Stolen elections, fake news, race riots, globalism, and socialism aren’t new problems; Americans faced them from the very beginning. Domestic Enemies reveals the true origins of the Democratic Party and its radicals, who―even two centuries ago―were calling for the redistribution of wealth, the end of marriage, and the use of schools for political indoctrination. From political battles to street fights, Domestic Enemies takes you into the heart of...

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has responded to Barack Obama’s pathetic attempt to distance himself from his treasonous actions during the Russia Collusion Hoax. .... Snip.... This morning on Fox and Friends Weekend, Gabbard fired back at Obama in epic fashion. WATCH:

Having spent the last four years under investigation as an alleged "domestic terrorist," I can't tell you how cock-a-hoop I am over Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard's bunker buster report on the deep state reptiles' (the true insurrectionists) greatest subterfuge since the JFK assassination (allegedly): Trump-Russia collusion. Gabbard's list of clown compurgators is a Who's Who of Washington D.C.'s most notorious bog frogs, including such legendary high-ranking, seemingly untouchable poikilothermic Americans as Bill and Hillary Clinton and the sacrosanct scapegrace himself, Barack Obama. [FACT-O-RAMA! By revealing the list of alleged palholes, Donald Trump has created a situation where...

President Trump told reporters on Friday that Barack Obama owes him “big” for the Supreme Court’s decision that Presidential Immunity applies to the former President after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard found evidence that Obama fabricatied and led the Russia Collusion hoax to sabotage then-President Elect Trump in 2016. .... Snip.... Trump responded on Friday, signaling that Obama committed crimes, but may be safe. “He’s done criminal acts, there’s no question about it, but he has immunity,” Trump said. “But it doesn’t help the people around him at all.” “He owes me big. Obama owes me big!” the President...
