I gave GROK information from Devin Nunes' interview in which he said starting in 2015, and the investigation(s) of Donald Trump's potential Russia collusion, started by Hillary, forwarded by Obama, and resulting in in the Mueller Investigation, which was followed by the Ukraine whistleblower hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop investigation, and the classified documents raid at Mar A Lago. I asked Grok to provide information to help me identify select officials (i.e., to exclude Grassley, Durham, Nunes etc.) and agents who worked across multiple investigations and to provide the number of years those people worked on those investigations (Grok calls...

Mike Davis just dropped a bomb on Fox News during his chat with Maria Bartiromo… and if what he’s saying turns out to be true, we’re not just talking about another political scandal, folks. We’re talking about the indictment of the century. Ironically, for years, the left and their media puppets told America that “Russian collusion” was the crime of the century. But the real crime, as Mike cleverly points out, wasn’t anything that Trump did… it’s what the Obama-Biden-Hillary crew unleashed on President Trump. The Crossfire Hurricane hit job wasn’t just the usual political dirty tricks. It was the...

When I wrote on Saturday that the foreign policy establishment is in utter shambles, I'm not sure I expected them to respond with such utter shamelessness. Yet, here we are, with former Secretary of State Antony Blinken giving Joseph Robinette Biden credit for the recently negotiated Gaza peace deal. No, I'm not kidding, and that's not even the worst of it. As RedState reported, the deal will see the release of the remaining hostages, with Israel not having to vacate Gaza. Instead, they'll pull back to a predetermined line inside the territory, forming a buffer zone to ensure the disarmament...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Joe Biden is receiving radiation and hormone therapy as part of a new phase of treating the aggressive form of prostate cancer he was diagnosed with after leaving office, a spokesperson said Saturday.“As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment,” said Biden aide Kelly Scully.

The U.S. Energy Department under President Donald Trump and Secretary Chris Wright is committed to saving taxpayers' money. In an Oct. 1 press release, the Energy Department announced that it had axed 321 awards which were to fund 223 different projects. The sheer scope and size of our federal government is mind-blowing. And with the national debt nearing $38 trillion, it has never been so important to cut federal spending, which is why the work of the Trump administration to reduce federal bloat is a massive win. Altogether, the Department of Energy (DOE) clarified, ending those projects saved American taxpayers...

In a pair of interviews by Maria Bartiromo (1, 2), Devin Nunes said Hillary started the Russia collusion hoax to keep Donald Trump from being elected. Obama continued the collusion hoax. Then Mueller and his team continued the collusion hoax. When Mueller completely flamed out because there was no intelligence that tied Trump to Russia, they launched the Ukraine whistleblower hoax. Then we had the Hunter Biden laptop, and the raid at Mar A Lago.All of that was done by, basically, the same two dozen people and media operatives that are all involved in perpetuating these hoaxes. Although these crimes...

Ukrainian officials were left “bewildered and disappointed” by Vice President Joe Biden’s December 2015 trip to Kyiv, during which he gave a speech decrying corruption as a “cancer” — with the Ukrainians accusing the US of a “double standard” given Biden’s family ties to corrupt energy firm Burisma, a trove of newly declassified Obama-era intelligence reveals. In an extreme departure from normal practice, the report on Ukrainian displeasure was suppressed at the request of Biden’s then-national security adviser, Dr. Colin Kahl, and did not appear in the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB), according to a senior CIA official who briefed journalists...

Authorities in California charged a 29-year-old man with "malicious destruction' for allegedly starting a deadly fire that erupted into the most destructive blaze in Los Angeles history and destroyed much of the wealthy Pacific Palisades neighborhood, officials announced Wednesday. Federal law enforcement officials accused 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht of lighting a fire on New Year’s Day that was initially extinguished by fire crews, but continued to smolder underground before reigniting during high winds, acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said during a news conference. Rinderknecht was arrested Tuesday in Florida, where he moved after the fire, and is due to appear in...

The following is a refreshing podcast by John Solomon which shines a vigorous light on the ongoing 'grand conspiracy' against President Trump. The podcast is 38 minutes in length so my notes are rough and I will post them in two parts. The introductory text posted below the podcast at the link follows: John Solomon ReportsRussiagate Revisited: Uncovering the TruthIn this Just the News special report, John Solomon tackles the grand conspiracy against President Donald Trump. Senator Ron Johnson unpacks the intricate web of political scandals that have shaped the recent landscape of American politics. From the Ukraine impeachment to...

People in Washington DC are starting to realize the full scale of the Obama surveillance system. All of the evidence and datapoints, those released and those yet to surface, flow in one direction. Even the professionally reluctant are starting to admit.What Obama, Biden, Comey, Crossfire Hurricane, Robert Mueller, Arctic Frost and Jack Smith were doing, was using their offices -and govt systems- to watch their opposition, spy on them, then take action based on the results.Friend of the Treehouse John Spiropoulos has put together a series of videos explaining how President Obama, FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director John...

Joe Biden’s presidency was a multi-trillion dollar criminal conspiracy that shred every “norm,” violated nearly every right, and abused any power it could to punish its political opponents. The Trump administration’s prosecutions of Team Biden’s abuses of power may be the healthiest development for the rule of law since the end of Jim Crow.This is a story Republicans should tell with pride — and must tell incessantly, or the next Democrat administration will make Biden’s four years look like Camelot under Arthur.The Seeds of CorruptionThe seeds of the Biden administration’s weaponization of government were sown while he was still vice...

[H/T Bert]The video premiered Jul 27, 2025 and is 14 minutes in length. I posted my notes on the first half of the video (Part 1) below.[40 seconds into video]1. Nunes says Tulsi Gabbard explained that the President's Daily Briefing (PDB) contained the intel that no collusion was detected between Trump and Putin. That information was never given to Congress; but information given to Congress was in that 'disposed of PDB). President Trump's campaign was made aware of this information as was the House Intelligence Committee (w/Devin Nunes). Obama was briefed with the same information (i.e., 'nothing to see here'),...

Then-Vice President Joe Biden’s team intervened in February 2016 to prevent the CIA from disseminating an intelligence report to policymakers about the perceptions senior Ukrainian officials held about his son’s business dealings, newly declassified memos show. The request that the intelligence community withhold the report from others in the U.S. government by Biden’s national security advisor was “extremely rare and unusual,” a senior CIA official told Just the News. “I just spoke with VP/NSA and he would strongly prefer the report not/not be disseminated,” the vice president’s Presidential Daily Brief briefer told the CIA. “Thanks for understanding.” The report, reviewed...

It's been quite a while since I've done one of these, but here it goes: As of October 2025, Democrats in the Senate are using the filibuster to block a Republican bill that would temporarily fund the government, triggering a government shutdown. This is meant to pressure Republicans to negotiate on health care and other policy demands. Given that Republicans control both the White House and Congress, Democrats are using the filibuster to provide them a measure of leverage in budget negotiations. Democrats are demanding an extension of enhanced subsidies for health care plans under the ACA, aka "ObamaCare" which...

Recently declassified documents indicate leaks of classified information to reporters were designed to portray Trump as in league with Russia. ================================================================== Recently declassified documents indicate that people close to former FBI Director James Comey and Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff were connected to leaks of classified information to prominent reporters designed to portray Donald Trump and his allies as being in league with Russia. Written in 2017, the FBI documents expose how selected Washington reporters, including Ellen Nakashima of The Washington Post and Michael Schmidt of The New York Times, scored a series of Pulitzer Prize-winning scoops in 2017 by repeating...

Unearthed note cards from the Biden era show the administration detailed the names and photos of high-profile Democrats, such as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as lesser-known individuals for then-President Joe Biden to ostensibly reference during live events, documents obtained by Fox News Digital show. Five different “palm cards,” which are hand-sized note cards frequently used by politicians for quick reminders or talking points during public events, especially while on the campaign trail, were uncovered amid an investigation of National Archive documents related to the Biden administration’s use of an autopen, and obtained by Fox News Digital....

The irony couldn’t be richer. Just a day after we learned that President Joe Biden needed palm cards with pictures to recognize Pritzker and other key Democrats, Pritzker said Tuesday that it’s Trump who has dementia and should be removed from office. But the hypocrisy is still richer still because Pritzker played a big role in the scandalous coverup of Biden’s mental decline. Pritzker, while serving as a proxy for Biden, frequently and firmly attested to Biden’s mental health. Pritzker became vicious about it, attempting to smear a respected special prosecutor for concluding the Biden was too impaired to stand...

Newly uncovered documents from the National Archives shed light on the extensive preparation materials used by the Biden White House, including palm-sized note cards that provided the former president with photos and basic biographies of prominent Democrats he had worked alongside for decades. These cards, obtained through an investigation into the administration’s use of an autopen, detail reminders for events where Biden interacted with figures such as Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer. One card, prepared for the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony in January 2025, listed recipients with accompanying images and brief descriptions. It included a photo of Clinton along...

On September 5, the Trump administration released its “Initial Report by the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias,” completed three months ago. The actual title of the 48-page document is “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias within the Federal Government,” and was mandated by President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14202 tasking the Attorney General with ensuring that “any unlawful and improper conduct, policies or practices that target Christians are identified, terminated, and rectified.” The author of the report, presumably a Justice Department official, notes that it is “not the end of the inquiry,” but that a “detailed report with findings and recommendations” will...

A 24-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela who posed as a teenager in Toledo, Ohio, now faces decades in prison after admitting to a scheme that lasted more than a year. Anthony Emmanuel Labrador Sierra pleaded guilty this past week to multiple charges after forging immigration documents and claiming to be a 16-year-old student at Perrysburg High School in January 2024, the New York Post reported. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio, Sierra, who crossed the border in 2019 and was only permitted to stay until March 2020 by the Biden administration, also illegally purchased...
