    What happens when a reporter gets caught spreading disinformation in the form of the biggest fake news of the 2020 presidential campaign? Why, promote them up the media food chain from a Politico reporter to a national security correspondent at CNN. Such was the reward for Natasha Bertrand for her role in "fortifying" the 2020 election against Donald Trump by hyping the disinformation campaign by 51 intelligence officials who incorrectly claimed that the highly damaging (to the Joe Biden campaign) information on Hunter Biden's laptop was really the result of Russian disinformation.So instead of eternally bearing the Scarlett Letter "D"...

    Former Congressman and current OAN host Matt Gaetz was secretly recorded by a fellow airline passenger—who then leaked his private text messages with his mother to the internet. The footage, which was uploaded by a TikTok user going by the handle tidesofmarch, reveals a private, over-the-shoulder shot of Gaetz texting with his mother, Vicky Gaetz, about everything from family finances to his media strategy regarding President Donald Trump. In the now-public texts, Gaetz’s mother warns her son not to criticize President Trump, urging him to remember his loyalty to the MAGA movement. Gaetz’s mom wrote: “Don’t be criticizing the President...
  • CNN Proclaimed Iran Strike Would Cause ‘War Shock’ of ‘Surging Oil Prices’… It Didn’t Happen

    CNN is the latest to suffer from the utter humiliation of prophesying Armageddon-level economic catastrophe as a result of President Donald Trump’s military strikes on Iran, only to have their predictions collapse faster than Biden on the steps of Air Force One. CNN writer Auzinea Bacon was adamant June 22 that “America’s economy” would face “a new war shock: Surging oil prices,” after Trump's historic B-2 bomber attack to devastate Iran’s nuclear capabilities. “The American economy faces the unwelcome prospect of reignited inflation after the United States launched strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran,” Bacon screeched. “High oil and...

    After years of obfuscation and denial, the U.S. Naval Academy, in a suit brought by Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA), recently admitted to using an applicant’s race during the admissions process. SFFA had sought to compel the Naval Academy to apply the same non-discrimination standards that the Supreme Court required in 2023’s SFFA v. Harvard. Ultimately, Judge Richard D. Bennett ruled that “the Naval Academy’s race-conscious admissions program withstands the strict scrutiny in the ambit of the Supreme Court’s opinion in the Harvard case.” Notably, Judge Bennett wrote that the Naval Academy’s admissions process complies with the Supreme Court’s strict-scrutiny...

    The Paris Peace Conference in 1919 was to settle the terms for the end of WW I. Wilson US, Clemenceau France, Lloyd George UK led the conference. By the end of it, the Germans were forced to accept these terrible terms whereby Germany gave up big chunks of Germany, gave up all German colonies like Namibia, and Germany was forced to pay these reparations a lot of it to France. These conditions essentially guaranteed the Germans would go into ear again. No country was going to tolerate paying such high reparations to other countries at the expense of their own...

    Gateway Pundit ^ | June 25, 2025 | Jim Hᴏft
    President Donald Trump publicly humiliated CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during a live press event at the NATO summit in The Hague. Collins, representing the deeply discredited network that Trump has long labeled “fake news,” asked a loaded question about Trump’s recent strike on Iranian nuclear facilities — and she got more than she bargained for. “Go ahead. Oh, fake news CNN? Ayayai, here we go,” Trump began, gesturing at Collins. “Wait ’til you hear this question. You should REALLY say how great our soldiers and warriors are.” The question, predictably slanted: COLLINS: “Are you relying on Israeli intelligence for your assessment...

    Following the United States' weekend strike on Iranian nuclear enrichment sites, the Trump administration's Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the arrest of nearly a dozen Iranian nationals who are illegally in the country. The former Biden administration's open-border policies have sparked concerns that potential terrorists and other threat actors have flooded into the U.S. undetected, raising the risk of the formation of sleeper cells. ICE's arrests, which took place over the weekend, included a suspected terrorist, an individual with admitted ties to Hezbollah, and an alleged former Iranian Army sniper, according to a Tuesday press release from ICE. The Department...

    “Terrible” socialist Spain was the sole NATO member to refuse a major increase in defence spending this week, leaving President Donald Trump threatening tariffs in return. Spain will end up paying more, all told, for the dogged refusal of its government to accept a greater share of the common defence of the Euro-Atlantic area because it will simply pay higher tariffs on trade instead, President Trump said on Wednesday. Apparently enjoying playing the room and getting laughs, President Trump showed a glint of steel as he brushed off Spanish reporters trying to ask questions at his end-of-summit press conference in...

    The Australian Medical Professionals’ Society (AMPS) has done an independent investigation into the WHO, its funders and the beneficiaries of the WHO’s decisions in order to determine whether the WHO is acting as an independent and impartial agency that can be trusted to protect public health. AMPS’ new report: “Follow the Money, WHO’s directing global health policy?” reveals how the World Health Organization (WHO) has allowed and encouraged commercial interests to corrupt global health policy. Executive Summary: The investigation by AMPS considered the potential for donors to the WHO to influence the Organization’s decisions on global health policy. To do...

    Late in the day Tuesday, CNN breathlessly ran their favorite story since the Trump-Musk bromance hit the skids. "Exclusive: Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say." CNN’s “reporters” could barely contain their excitement that their nightmare scenario was over: Trump, it appeared, hadn’t pulled off the most impressive military strike since "Operation Desert Fox." ("Desert Fox" was a 1998 anti-WMD mission, also used Tomahawks for support, but used 600 sorties to target almost 100 targets in Iraq. And as with "Operation Midnight Hammer," not a single U.S. service member or vehicle was...

    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) sharply criticized Republicans for removing federal subsidies for Planned Parenthood from the reconciliation bill, saying "they want to rip away health care from millions more Americans. Without these subsidies up to 200 Planned Parenthood centers could close. More than 90% of these closures would be in states where abortion is legal for the voters of the state." Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash) said "there is not a day that ends in 'y' where Republicans are not trying to ban abortion here in Congress. We are talking about women left with no options for the care...

    So what does Trump do now? He may toy with all three approaches. He may ramp up covert attacks. He may float the idea of talks. But ultimately, if the past is any guide, the path he’s most likely to choose is the one that gives him maximum visibility, maximum leverage, and maximum control of the narrative. That means a strike—bigger than before, louder than before, unmistakable in its intent. Not because he’s bloodthirsty. Not because he wants regime change. But because he knows that in the high-stakes theater of international power, survival is a statement—and Iran has just made...

    NEW YORK — The Hamas terrorist organization has claimed responsibility for the results of last night's mayoral primary in New York City. "Our glorious freedom fighters have delivered an attack on New York City that the Great Satan will not soon forget," stated Hamas spokesman Abu Obaida. "We take responsibility for the heroic operation that has begun the city's deliverance to Allah. The intifada has been globalized." Hamas went on to state that last night's primary was the first wave of assaults directed at destroying American cities and paving the way for attacks on the Jewish community. "We shall make...

    On June 25, Korea commemorates the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. On this day of 1950, the war broke out by North Korea’s invasion across the 38th parallel. The Korean War was not fought by Koreans alone. Over 1.9 million soldiers from 22 United Nations member states fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the Republic of Korea in defense of freedom and democracy. Though more than 70 years have passed since the signing of the Armistice Agreement in 1953, the Korean Peninsula remains divided. As we remember the Korean War today, let us not forget the sacrifices of Korean...

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks in a video address on June 24, 2025. (Screen capture/GPO) In a video statement on Tuesday summing up the war against Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel “achieved a historic victory” that would “abide for generations” following the US-brokered ceasefire to end the 12-day conflict. He said Israel removed “two existential threats — the threat of destruction via nuclear weapons and the threat of destruction via 20,000 ballistic missiles” that Iran was moving to build. Israel would have faced destruction in the near future “if we hadn’t acted now.”

    The Supreme Court left unresolved whether states can give primacy to biological sex over gender identity, a question that has divided lower courts nationwide, in its blockbuster decision upholding Tennessee's ban on medicalized gender transitions for youth, though individual justices in the majority promoted their own conclusions in concurrences. The most powerful nine jurists in America will consider whether to fill in the gaps from U.S. v. Skrmetti this week when, for the third time, they review petitions by West Virginia and Idaho to overrule courts that struck down their "fairness in women's sports" laws that prevent males from participating...
