Hillary Clinton could not get to her keyboard fast enough. Within hours of reports that the Justice Department is considering settling President Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, Clinton was on X accusing Trump of “shaking down taxpayers” and declaring that the “corruption meter is flashing red.” What Clinton did not bother to mention, and what the left keeps hoping you will forget, is why this lawsuit exists in the first place: a former IRS contractor named Charles Littlejohn stole thousands of confidential tax returns, smuggled them out of government systems on personal devices including an iPod, and...

Bolivian President Luis Arce Catacora reviewed with his Russian colleague Vladimir Putin the joint lithium and nuclear projects with which the South American country consolidates its position from a geopolitical and strategic viewpoint given the presence of Iranian facilities and equipment. Arce told reporters in La Paz Tuesday that all these matters were discussed during his recent meeting with the Russian leader in St. Petersburg on the occasion of the International Economic Forum (SPIEF) in the former imperial capital. According to Arce, the project involving Russia's Uranium One company regarding direct lithium extraction in Bolivian salt flats “must start operating...

The “This Is a Gardening Show” host criticizes today’s comedy podcast hosts for pandering to big-name guests: “That’s not the job of a court jester”Zach Galifianakis isn’t afraid to “tell powerful people no,” he declared in a recent interview on Conan O’Brien’s eponymous podcast, remembering specifically that he threatened to cancel then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s 2016 “Between Two Ferns” interview after her team demanded he not ask about her email server scandal. “I could tell she didn’t want to be there, and I totally get that. I get it. But before we had set that whole thing up, they...

Last week, the Department of Justice announced that former FBI director James B. Comey has been again indicted by a Federal Grand Jury, this time in the Eastern District of North Carolina. The criminal offenses charged against Comey are precise and limited; two counts of threating harm to the President. They involve his posting of images of seashells arranged as “86 47.” 86 being slang for kill and Trump being the 47th president. Kash Patel, the current FBI director, commented that Comey “disgracefully encouraged a threat on President Trump’s life and posted it on Instagram for the world to see.”...

Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealed he found a "mother lode" of documents tied to the "Russiagate" investigation that he alleges were meant to be destroyed. Speaking on the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast, Bongino said what he witnessed behind the scenes of "Crossfire Hurricane" — the FBI's probe into potential collusion between President Donald Trump and Russia — was far more sinister than he anticipated. "I thought I knew Russiagate," Bongino told Hannity. "It was like 10 times worse." Bongino described finding a "burn bag," which is typically used to incinerate sensitive documents for security purposes. He...

Charles McGonigal may be the most corrupt FBI official in modern history—and yet somehow, his name has barely made a blip on the radar. This wasn’t some mid-level pencil-pusher. McGonigal was one of the top counterintelligence agents at the FBI’s New York field office. He was directly involved in the bureau’s most sensitive operations, including the infamous “Crossfire Hurricane” probe into (phony) Trump–Russia “collusion.” And after that whole fraudulent mess, it turns out that he was secretly taking money from a Kremlin-linked oligarch and helping shake down Albanian oligarchs on the side. You can’t make this up, right? Now here...

The FBI on Friday morning raided the home of a high-ranking DEA official under Barack Obama and charged him for conspiring to launder millions of dollars for a Mexican drug cartel.

Paul Campo and Robert Sensi were charged with narcoterrorism, terrorism, narcotics distribution, and money laundering charges. Campo and Sensi were arrested on Thursday afternoon in New York, according to the DOJ. Campo and Sensi agreed to launder $12 million...

Lena Dunham is walking back her support for former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. Dunham’s new memoir, Famesick, hit stands on April 14, and in her own words, she reflects on campaigning for Clinton. “I hit the ground running just a day or so after Girls wrapped, campaigning for Hillary Clinton in more American states than I’d ever been to in my life,” she writes in the book, according to the Daily Mail. “And now I know, I wish I’d just posted a ‘BERNIE’ sign in my window instead,” she explained, referring to former Vermont...

From fake impeachments to battles with a KGB-created religious movement, Trump is engaged in a “to the political death” battle with the left. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just released another batch of declassified documents that lay bare how the 2019 Trump impeachment was built on second-hand hearsay, anonymous tips, and a coordinated narrative pushed by intelligence officials and Democrat operatives. At the same time, we’ve witnessed the Democrats’ sudden, open allegiance with a Chicago Pope. The impeachment wasn’t real, and Trump’s not engaged in a religious war. Instead, both fights—the attacks at home and in the Vatican—are the...

Whistleblower admitted on initial form they did not have direct knowledge of Trump's private communications Peter Pinedo By Peter Pinedo Fox News Published April 13, 2026 7:06pm EDT Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released newly declassified testimony that she alleges shows a "coordinated effort" by the intelligence community to "manufacture a conspiracy" used as the basis of President Donald Trump first impeachment. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Monday released two declassified transcripts from closed-door House Intelligence Committee hearings that Gabbard’s office says show former Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson advanced as credible a whistleblower...

If confirmed, this is the first time since 1981 that the Iranian regime has targeted a defector on U.S. soil. Iranian dissident Mansoor Osanloo, the exiled former head of the bus driver’s union in Tehran, was savagely attacked on Tuesday, May 1, while traveling on a PATH train into New York City, and left for dead. Multiple assailants sprayed him with a corrosive chemical, then clubbed him in the back of the neck with what appears to have been a tire iron. He lay in a coma for several days and required 17 stitches in his neck. I spoke with...

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Exposes Conspiracy Used By Congress To Impeach President Trump IC Inspector General Atkinson aggressively advanced a so-called “whistleblower’s” narrative, using a witness who co-authored the 2017 Russia Hoax, that was used as the basis for Trump’s impeachment WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard releases never-before-seen documents exposing a coordinated effort by elements within the Intelligence Community (IC), including a former Inspector General (IG), to manufacture a conspiracy that was used as the basis to impeach President Trump in 2019. During his preliminary investigation into President Trump’s July 2019 phone conversation with Ukrainian President...

It’s been a long six and a half years since the first sham impeachment of Trump, but the story isn’t over. rom the beginning, the 2019 impeachment coup against President Donald Trump was a hoax riddled with Democrat collusion and deep state deception. Newly released transcripts of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence’s closed-door interviews of then-Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (ICIG) Michael Atkinson give even more details about how intelligence officials and anti-Trump politicians worked together in an attempt to charge the sitting president with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The testimonies, recorded in September...

First lady Melania Trump on Thursday denied having any knowledge of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, saying, "The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today." The first lady's office and the White House did not immediately respond to ABC News when asked what prompted her to publicly speak out about the issue. President Donald Trump said he did not know the first lady was going to make a statement today about Epstein, according to an MS Now reporter who said she had a brief phone interview with the president. Asked by ABC News...

Democrats find themselves with a deplorable dilemma – whether to reach into their no-talent “bench” for a 2028 standard bearer or turn to the 78–year-old party matriarch for yet another comeback bid. Saddled with an aging constituency of white, privileged, female boomers who fill up “No Kings” rallies, Democrats are in such disarray that some are looking to Hillary Clinton to come to the rescue. The former Secretary of State is coming to New Hampshire next month to headline a major fundraising dinner – fueling speculation about her White House intentions and generational complaints from progressives who view her as...
